<janina> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-indie-ui/2014Jan/0002.html

JS: These are the two email URLs for the review
... You can give us a report on the 29th and others can comment

JW: I will do that and post something to the list

JS: Not usually our job in IndieUI

Editor's Report

JC: Mainly editorial stuff responding to folks who have sent feedback. Mostly the high contrast issue - mostly informative changes

JS: We have talked about publishing a stablization draft of Events
... Micheal need to get all of our testing for a report to the Director - this is a good deal of work, with the PF F2F - so we are pushing that stabilization draft of Events probably out to February
... You thought the draft was more ready than I thought

JC: Yes all of the commnets and feedback especially for the TPAC, but most of them are closed. Maybe we can do that in February also. I did not promise the CG that we would do that - but itis possible to have a first public working draft

JS: If we do not get it done by February thenit will prbably be un April bc of CSUN

Events Requirements Status & Actions

<MichaelC> https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/IndieUI/raw-file/default/src/indie-ui-requirements.html

MC: I have the document up - the editors draft is hear as a reminder. This verson has the Use Cases and events - the User Context section is currently empty. We have this for organizational purposes, but this is not set
... It is useful to orgnaize by document. The document has pointers to where the requirments are addressed. You will see that there are some without pointers
... There is a cross reference between use cases and event requirments. There are cases that there are requirments that are not tied to a scenario. And there are senarios that are not mapped to a requirment. So we need to revisit and clean all of that up
... We cold probably publish this as is, but we can also wait until it is more mature

JS: Good way to get comments to release as is...:-)

JW: I think the scenarios were written before the requirments

JS: Would anyone object to publishing this for review in this state?

MC: The intro might need to be copied for UI Events into the this Introduction and we can put the Status of this Document point there as well

JS: This makes sense to me. Any other thoughts?

JW: Just is there any obvious fixes that would not be too controversial to do?

MC: Yes the mapping - but I myself do not have much time this January

RS: You want to just publish the Requirements?

MC: I think we need at least one cycle of review before the First Public draft
... Having a vetted requirements document helps us onthe documentation track

RS: I do not see any issues, just that we review

MC: We are targeting mid-February because the ARIA stuff for Jan 30th which is ambitous - but when we get that done I will be aleto move to IndieUI
... Mid to late February.

JS: I think we are hoping to get Events 1.0 to CR this year in 2014

RS: Yes but we need to implementations. The Chrome guy is out having a new baby

JS: In terms of next steps it looks possible that a stablization events draft - and a first public working draft for late February
... and a first Requirements public working draft for late February
... We and JUDY want to make the ARIA before CSUN if possible

RS: I am see if I can help Judy. We really need to get ARIA out this year

JS: Issaccson is doing something for Firefox OS to use IndieUI
... It has been 4 or 5 months ago

JC: He did say they would be interetsed but he did not commit to an implementation

RS: If we do not think there are going to be a changing much we need to focus on the second implementation

MC: InARIA testing became a big bottleneck and we want o avoid that with IndieUI. I do not have to be respobsible for the testing and hold things up
... One of our problems has been that the potential implementor have not joined the IndieUI working group. We want to try to work with Mozilla more closely.

JS: Lets see who we can get in Torornto to join the meeting when in Toronto

MC: We want to see if anybody has any test files or we can try to provide test files to implemntors
... We can set up a smaller caucus for implemntors

JS: Testing is a concern and identifying our other implementors
... We have already had discussions that the Mozilla code base may be still e too Close bewtween MOzlla and Apple. Blink and WebKit

JC: Somethings are completely diverged - there are cases that the same patch can e applied to both - if that is true it is too close

RS: You could look at each others code base

MC: We have to convince the Director that the implementations are seperate

RS: I will contact Mike from Mozilla then

SJ: Chrome might indeed be

RS: Should we approach Microsoft?

MC: Microsoft never said why they are not part of the Working Group
... If we could get Mozilla and Opera that will probably pull Microsoft in

RS: Well let me send an email to Champion at Microsoft

zaakim, next item

Events Testing Update

JS: We are acknowledging that this is important

JC: Can you remind me of thename of the W3C

MC: Toby

JC: Hemight be a good person to ask about this. Unlike ARIA - this will not be tied to specific Accessibility APIs

MC: Tody will refer us to Test the Web Forward and ??
... It is worth talking to, he will be ale to help get us some pointers
... What we lack in the harness is a runner
... I do not think that it addreses the UAs that we will initially be running IndieU on. They are having a metting in San Fran in April the Browser Testing Group

JC: What does the Test the Web Forward is doing what?

MC hey get folks in a room to test specs that are needing testing in W3C specs - it is like a test file creation event. It does not clarify how to make these tests

MC: I am not sure that it will help us or not

JC: That does sound very useful to me for our needs

MC: I amnot sure if the test harness has the ability to ttest the functioality at the layer of IndieUI events

JC: But I think there is a way

MC: Maybe with a combination of Web Driver and Test the Web Forward test harness may work for our needs
... I think he (??) is still onstaff ad available

JS: it is worth asking him

MC: How should i phrase the question to him?
... I will ask Toby about testharness.js and web driver is something that he can help us with and join us for a call

JC: Is there something that is programmatically determinble like the acid test. It would be good for Toby to explain what TestHarness.js actually does

<MichaelC> TTWF documentation on testharness.js

MC: Test the Web Forward actually hasbetter documentation
... We should understnd this info at this url before we speak with him - as well as Web Driver (which is a W3C spec)

<MichaelC> WebDriver

JW: I think that wold be helpful

MC: This version of Web Driver may be out of date - but understanding what it does may be importnat

Takashi: I am not sure about this

JS: We are trying to find out where you expertiseis

JC: Jus looking at the Test Harness I think I could write a few tests. It is very similar to how WebKit tests are set up. The asynchronous testing may be an issue

User Context Update; FPWD Criteria Discussion

AH: Nothing

JW: Paper presentation in Paris - I will be corrdinating with Andy on this..

JS: This has been a good restart
... We will meet agian in three weeks onJanuary 29th
