<fjh> proposed resolutions: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0074.html
<inserted> fjh: chaals was concerned that you didn't know that you could have markup
AnssiK: i used the language
inherited from HTML5 spec
... which is why the spec is phrased in term of DOM
... we could diverge from that
<fjh> some additional suggestions I have - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0101.html
AnssiK: making it explicit in
prose
... i'll have to look around and see how other standalone
specifications do it
fjh: you could look at other examples
AnssiK: i think we have other cases which address things like chaals's concerns
<fjh> http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/
<Jungkee> well, I'm trying to call again
<Jungkee> ??P15 might be me
<fjh> unmute me
AnssiK: my approach was to
inherit as much of the HTML5 prose as possible
... to keep the spec as short as possible
<fjh> http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/
AnssiK: the expectation is that
people reading this spec would be aware of the HTML5 spec
... however, i can do whatever is needed to get this spec to
LC
fjh: i have some feedback from dougt
AnssiK: i'll reply on the list addressing all the comments you have
fjh: we should enter responses into the LC tracker
AnssiK: what's the process here?
fjh: you can do things
informally
... for chaals and dougt
... you can do things informally
... otherwise, you can enter things in the LC tracker, and it
does them automatically
Josh_Soref: I plan to respond to
MC at some point
... I was doing actions for Intents recently
<fjh> ACTION: fjh to enter HTML Media LC comment responses into LC tracker [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/08/29-dap-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-571 - Enter HTML Media LC comment responses into LC tracker [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2012-09-05].
fjh: thanks AnssiK
<fjh> CfC http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0065.html
fjh: we had a CfC on these
... and i think the CfC has failed
... with good reason
... we could do a testharness, but it seems like a lot of
work
<fjh> arguments against on list, including questions of implementability.
fjh: it seems like we should figure it out
<fjh> proposed RESOLUTION: move these specs in the home page Roadmap to 'Exploratory Work' section
<darobin> +1
+1
<AnssiK> +1
RESOLUTION: move these specs in the home page Roadmap to 'Exploratory Work' section
fjh: i'll do that
<fjh> ACTION: fjh to move specs in the home page Roadmap to 'Exploratory Work' section [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/08/29-dap-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-572 - Move specs in the home page Roadmap to 'Exploratory Work' section [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2012-09-05].
dsr: if you could do that, that would be great
fjh: there's been comments from Cathy
Josh_Soref: richt_ is on the call
<fjh> Additional comments http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0095.html (Cathy)
fjh: if there's anything that
needs to be talked about
... but i think you need to do more edits
richt_: i agree, but i have a
backlog
... i don't know i can do them this week
Cathy: it's just more work for richt_
richt_: i think the spec could
use some restructuring
... if we did this around UPnP state, i think that could
address some concerns
<fjh> test suite proposal, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0078.html
fjh: i don't think we have mozilla people on the call
AnssiK: i'm going to start
writing the test suite
... the easy part is testing the IDL
<fjh> need to figure out the test harness part, whether we can use work from Mozilla
AnssiK: the harder part is
testing hardware interaction
... i was aware mozilla had some intention to handle things
more intelligently for battery
... i'm open to suggestions/pointers
... i think there are test suites that try to solve similar
problems
... there are test suites that require manual intervention
(touch)
... and CSS (visual inspection)
... this is a call out for people, if you have ideas
... i know darobin had ideas on how to make progress with
vibration
... making things separate runnable testcases
... which require a human
darobin: it's important to make
manual tests separate from automated tests
... so you can run the automated tests automatically
AnssiK: so we write the test
cases that can be automated
... and then make additional test cases that require manual
interaction
... i could take things from the vibration test suite
... darobin did that half a year ago
... darobin, are you happy with those?
darobin: i think overall, the style of the tests could be improved
<darobin> http://darobin.github.com/test-harness-tutorial/docs/using-testharness.html
darobin: since then, i wrote a tutorial on using testharness
AnssiK: i read that, it's quite
helpful
... the best documentation written in English
darobin: if you pick up the vibration tests, and you have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me
AnssiK: i'm just looking to see
if we have best practices
... it seems we're making them
darobin: it's complicated
... vibration tests are almost all manual
... you need a human
Josh_Soref: you could have a camera watching the device :)
AnssiK: the mozilla guys were using an simulator
<fjh> simulator
darobin: you could try to use the
accelerometer
... to detect vibration
fjh: for battery, you need to use
a simulator
... otherwise you wait forever
AnssiK: for battery, you could
use computationally complicated JS
... but it'd be hard/bad for full/empty/in between, plug in,
unplug
... thanks for the ideas
<Zakim> Josh_Soref, you wanted to talk about Cordova-Contacts
fjh: AnssiK, will you contact the mozilla guys?
AnssiK: the mozilla guys are
subscribed to the DAP list
... but maybe i should ping them directly
fjh: AnssiK, you're editing
that
... and we're waiting for implementation
... is that right?
AnssiK: ambient is edited by
dougt
... dougt took proximity
... it's the same spec, with the names changed
fjh: oh right, i got confused
AnssiK: we'll need to backport
changes to proximity
... if there are changed
fjh: there's been some
proposals/discussions
... that things should go into the ambient light spec
... i think this spec needs edits
... i think there's an issue about Light Levels
AnssiK: if there's a common issue
between Ambient Light/Proximity
... i'd like to fix them both at the same time
... it's good to keep the specs separate for interop
testing
... and getting through the process
fjh: here we're dealing with
testing?
... darobin, you had an action here?
darobin: proximity is not a
spec/test area where i had actions
... i had actions for battery/vibration, which i did
fjh: AnssiK, you're working on proximity?
AnssiK: i have an action item for
battery/vibration
... then i'll look at the remaining specs
<fjh> http://darobin.github.com/api-design-cookbook/
fjh: we agreed on a previous call
to publish a FPWD
... darobin, you're working on that w/ Jungkee
darobin: i'll push it through the
usual steps
... i'll do that before the end of the week
... tomorrow or tuesday
<gmandyam> Will be dropping from IRC and continuing to listen on the phone
darobin: i probably won't be
editing it very actively
... we'll need a plan for it to go forward
fjh: this will be a note
darobin: sure, but there are parts that aren't finished
fjh: meeting 1-2 Nov
<fjh> Please complete WG questionnaire - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2012Aug/0043.html

AnssiK: what time are we planning
to end the meeting on Friday?
... i'll leave @2pm
fjh: it'll probably go beyond
that
... i'm expecting we'll have a good amount of discussion on web
intents/web activities
... and we'll have to work on day two
AnssiK: i'd prefer my specs be either friday morning, or on thursday
fjh: there's a bunch of
actions
... darobin, not sure what the right way to do this is
<fjh> ACTION-514?

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/514
darobin: i think my actions are
overtaken by events
... for action-514, the idea was to talk to the webschema thing
to see if that makes sense
... i talked to Dan Brickley and he's interested

<fjh> josh_soref: contacts is discussed elsewhere, some implementation experience int that group
<fjh> josh_soref: want to not always merge contact providers
<fjh> josh_soref: thus want to do the way in WebIntents
<fjh> fjh: what is actionable here?
<fjh> josh_soref: nothing specific to do, but we are getting feedback here that our new approach is good
<AnssiK> http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_contacts_contacts.md.html
<fjh> josh_soref: all of their mail is on one list
http://callback.markmail.org/search/?q=+list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.callback-dev+contacts
<fjh> anssiK: what are they implementing
<AnssiK> http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/RoadmapProjects
<fjh> josh_soref: they implemented the original API and discovered issues with it, they seem to want to use new approach, but hard to tell them, not sure of their schedule
AnssiK: darobin, will you continue editing pick-contact intent spec?
darobin: i probably won't
... i'll help if i can
... it's up for grabs
AnssiK: richt_, what about you?
richt_: i agree with the
changes
... i'd like someone else to do day-to-day editing
... it's a little down on my priority list
<Jungkee> i would like to take on that
Josh_Soref: i should try to work on it
<Jungkee> let me also look at it
fjh: Jungkee is also offering to edit
<Jungkee> along with PIck Media Intent
Josh_Soref: i'm not going to
proxy Mozilla/Cordova
... i had that bad experience once
AnssiK: pick-contact hasn't been implemented, right?
Josh_Soref: i think we need someone to implement shims around major contact providers
<darobin> make a shim built atop http://berjon.com/contacts-intent/
<fjh> we should check with James on what is in progress and has been done
Josh_Soref: google/yahoo/facebook
AnssiK: which pick intent is the
highest priority?
... pick-media, pick-contact
fjh: i can check with james
darobin: i can probably release the code to my contact intents thing
<fjh> ACTION: fjh to check with James re implementations of Pick Media and Pick Contact, plans et [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/08/29-dap-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-573 - Check with James re implementations of Pick Media and Pick Contact, plans et [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2012-09-05].
darobin: with a few tweaks, it
ought to be relatively easy to interface with existing contacts
systems
... i have code somewhere on my harddrive to expose the OS X
contacts system
<fjh> Josh_Soref: can use cordova code to integrate with pick contacts in various systems
<fjh> josh_soref: need interop with google, facebook and a couple of others
<fjh> josh_soref: use cordova as a shim for native
<fjh> ACTION: josh_soref to create facebook WebIntents Pick Contacts provider [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/08/29-dap-minutes.html#action04]
