Touch Event v1 Last Call

AB: reminder the comment deadline for the Touch Events v1 LC is October 11 http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-Touch-Events-20110913/. I think the comment tracking document includes all of the comments submitted to date <http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/TouchEvents-LCWD-13-Sep-2011
... if I missed anything, please let me know

Issue-19: Align initTouchEvent parameters with Webkit

AB: this is a standing issue <http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/19>. Any feedback from Webkit community?
... I haven't seen anything

MB: I have not

AB: this leaves us where we were last time
... this is related to Issue-23 ...

Issue-23: Add a DOM4-style constructor to create and initialize TouchEvent objects.

AB: we discussed Issue-23 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/23 last week http://www.w3.org/2011/09/27-webevents-minutes.html#item04 and there was some subsequent followup between Matt, Anne and Olli http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2011JulSep/0092.html
... If Olli is OK with removing initTouchEvent method from TE v1, then I think we have consensus. A consequence of that change is a new LC will be needed.
... is that a fair characterization?

OP: it's OK with removing it

… from v1

… And we need to do something about creating events in v2

… But this allows v1 to proceed

… and we can continue to work on v2

… This also means all testing will need to be manual

AB: it seems like we have consensus on Issue-23 to remove initTouchEvent

… are there any objections to removing it?

AB: Doug of course has an opinion on this

… and I believe he now agrees with removing initTouchEvent from v1

… I know he isn't here

MB: yes, I think Doug agreed with this proposal to remove during the last call

AB: then let's record a resolution and close Issue-23

RESOLUTION: the initTouchEvent method will be removed in LC1 (and this means a new LC will be needed)

AB: anything else on that issue?

Issue-21 and Issue-22 ; status of Cathy's proposal

MB: we need an action to remove that method

… I can't do it this week

AB: can anyone else take an action to remove that method

<scribe> ACTION: brubeck remove the initTouchEvent method from v1 spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/10/04-webevents-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-78 - Remove the initTouchEvent method from v1 spec [on Matt Brubeck - due 2011-10-11].

AB: last week we discussed Issue-21 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/21 and Issue-22 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/issues/22 and Cathy's proposals to address the issues http://www.w3.org/2011/09/27-webevents-minutes.html#item05
... I believe we agreed that if no one expressed any concerns that Cathy would submit a changeset based on her proposal
... Cathy isn't here today

… I don't know here status

AB: any comments on Cathy's proposal?

<scribe> ACTION: cathy to commit her proposals for Issue-21 and Issue-22 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/10/04-webevents-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-79 - Commit her proposals for Issue-21 and Issue-22 [on Cathy Chan - due 2011-10-11].

Feedback from PFWG on Touch Events 13 September 2011 draft

AB: Last week WAI's PFWG submitted some comments http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2011JulSep/0091.html for the TE LC. I captured those as LC-6 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/TouchEvents-LCWD-13-Sep-2011#LC-6 and LC-7 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/TouchEvents-LCWD-13-Sep-2011#LC-7
... the first comment (LC-7) is about the need for additional text re the relation between touch events and mouse events. And LC-6 is a request for some editorial questions.
... I don't think there are any "Issues" per se but rather some follow up actions to address the comments.
... has anyone read the comments from PFWG?

MB: not yet

AB: encourage everyone to followup on the mail list

… that is, respond to Michael Cooper's email

Testing Touch Events

AB: we have a few actions related to touch event testing Action-74, Action-66 and Action-72. Earlier today Olli replied to his Action-74 http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/track/actions/74 via http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webevents/2011OctDec/0001.html
... I haven't looked at Olli's input

OP: I looked at what Matt had done

… and added some tests for multiple touches

… We will need a lot more tests

… But this is a start

… I can add some more later

AB: thanks very much!

OP: I am using Android

… and the default browser and it passes the tests

… The default browser on Android uses webkit

… The default browser and Opera browser both pass all of the tests I wrote

AB: that's really helpful
... Tran has Action-66: <Create multitouch test cases for the Touch Events spec> that is blocked on Olli. Perhaps Tran could review what Olli created.

DT: I did look at it this morning

… I will copy it and then expand on it

… and try to do something this week

AB: ok, that's great
... anything else on testing for today?

OP: once we have more tests for multitouch

… we should move them to W3C

… My tests are not in W3C space now

… But they need to move

AB: if you have any issues with that, Doug can help you (or perhaps me ;-)

Any Other Business (AOB)

AB: we will have a call next week if there are sufficient topics
... encourage everyone to continue to use the Public mail list
... anything else for today?
... meeting adjourned
