We'll be discussing our work in the upcoming couple of months 15:09:15 http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/Work 15:09:28 ... I'll be adding new stuff to our wiki work page 15:09:49 ... work has started on some of the topics, so I'll add information to help guide newcomers 15:10:08 ... today we'll talk about network info, permissions, offline, payments, and best practices 15:10:15 ... I'll highlight them on the page 15:10:37 https://github.com/w3c-webmob/netinfo 15:10:38 Topic: Network Information 15:11:00 Schuki: at the end of 2013, marcos started this github repo for the netinfo api 15:11:11 ... to capture how native apps use network info to give users choice 15:11:49 ... the document includes lots of screenshots of existing native and Web apps illustrating choices on when to download/upload or stream 15:12:01 ... there is a lot of misunderstanding about the need for a netinfo api 15:12:25 ... this requirements work is to help for the development of a useful API in the WG 15:12:44 ... There are some people in Mozilla that have started to draft a few different notes on net info 15:12:56 ... this is helping to enrich the existing work in this space 15:13:09 ... already some good consequences out of this work 15:13:19 ... Please take a read of the document 15:13:38 ... if you see missing or incorrect information, submit issues on the github repo 15:13:50 ... even open questions are acceptable as issues there 15:14:04 q? 15:14:31 Bin_Hu: there has been discussions of the privacy impact of that API 15:14:37 ... raised by Nick Doty 15:15:11 ... with Brian making suggestions how to solve this, e.g. via JavaScript libraries 15:16:23 Schuki: the best way forward would be to summarize these points to the mailing list 15:16:32 Bin_Hu: I'll summarize this to the list 15:17:24 Topic: Permissions 15:17:39 Schuki: two weeks ago, the W3C TAG was meeting in London 15:17:48 ... Dom was invited to discuss the issue around permissions 15:17:59 ... which links back to our discussions during TPAC on the topic 15:18:13 scribenick: schuki 15:18:34 dom: I presented to the TAG 2 weeks ago 15:18:36 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-mobile/2014Jan/0001.html 15:18:42 ... I sent a summary to the mailing list 15:19:40 dom: I updated and improved the TPAC presentation on the current state of permissions in browsers 15:19:59 http://dontcallmedom.github.io/web-permissions-req/matrix.html 15:20:19 ... the presentation showed some bad user experience with regards to browser permissions 15:20:34 ... I also showed some tests and test results 15:21:11 dom: the table shows a lot of variation in permissions across browsers 15:21:19 ... this is bad for users and developers 15:22:00 dom: the TAG agreed that this was a topic to be paid attention to 15:22:07 ... they set some tasks 15:22:45 ... Alex Russell has a task to consider this, and Dan Appelquist has a task to communicate with WGs to get them to ask the TAG when working with permissions 15:23:10 dom: everyone agreed that we need to consider this topic more 15:23:19 ... we talked about what a better model will be 15:23:49 -> http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/articles#API_Permissions API Permissions 15:24:14 dom: as part of my research I did a search for documents ( see link above) 15:24:24 ... seems like a lot of research is ongoing in this area 15:24:56 dom: I am looking for more poeple to join me on this work 15:25:14 dom: in Sys Apps there was some talk on web apps in the market 15:25:24 ... there are a large number of questions in permission management 15:25:39 ... so there is some work going on in this topic 15:26:04 dom: I don't have a detailed work plan atm 15:26:24 ... but if people are interested in helping out that would be great! 15:27:30 q? 15:27:34 dom: the important question is how we move from this model which has so many issues to a better one 15:28:35 Bin_Hu: we did some work here in WAC, these methods need to be simplified and updated, but this could help 15:28:59 ... we may be able to contribute here 15:30:29 dom: i think the way to get to a solution would be to dive down into this problem and ask the questions of what needs to be done first 15:32:04 https://github.com/dontcallmedom/web-permissions-req/ 15:32:11 ScribeNick: dom 15:32:30 schuki: dom has posted the github link of the work done so far 15:32:52 ... as dom has pointed out, a good next step would be to understand the questions we need to answer for a permission model 15:33:05 ... at the bottom of the github page, there is a todo section with ideas on how to help on this 15:33:17 ... e.g. screenshots on mobile, # of tested features 15:33:33 ... the next stage after that is identifying questions a permission model need to answer 15:34:02 ... Dom, let's work together on making this easy to access for others 15:34:13 ... All, please raise issues on the github repo as you see fit 15:34:25 Topic: Best Practices 15:34:43 -> https://github.com/w3c-webmob/mobile_best_practices GitHub Best Practices repo 15:35:10 Schuki: I've started readying the MWBP document 15:35:15 s/ready/read/ 15:35:30 ... when I told twitter about this, I got a lot of reaction 15:35:38 ... some people pointed out it was outdated 15:35:49 ... I also noted that a lot of it was still very much relevant 8 years later 15:36:03 ... I moved the document to github with help from jo and tobie and others 15:36:13 ... we raised a number of issues 15:36:17 ... got a few pull requests 15:36:26 https://github.com/w3c-webmob/mobile_best_practices/issues 15:36:32 ... we have both simple issues and hard problems 15:36:56 ... some of them got quite a few comments, e.g. "don't call it 'mobile'" 15:37:31 ... add issues as you see fit, or even make pull requests with amendments 15:37:47 ... I've a few additional points I will raise on the repo 15:37:50 zakim, unmute me 15:37:50 jo? should no longer be muted 15:37:53 q+ 15:37:56 q? 15:37:57 ack jo 15:38:21 jo: my feeling is that if it's worth updating that document, it should integrate the mobile web apps best practices 15:38:31 ... hence, we're talking about updating and combining two documents 15:38:41 schuki: that document also came up on my list 15:38:55 ... let's add an issue on this 15:39:05 +1 to jo 15:39:19 http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-mwabp-20101214/ 15:39:29 Bin_Hu: we intend to review and read the document 15:39:52 ... we noticed that others orgs have worked on related topics, e.g. the smart apps guidelines from gsma 15:40:07 q+ to ask about relationship to WebPlatform 15:40:26 ... any goal of alignment or reference to related guidelines in the industry? 15:40:46 schuki: we should definitely have a look into that, we shouldn't duplicate work 15:41:11 ... marcos made the point that there is so much content on the topic, but it's hard to find a place putting it altogether 15:41:36 the content of the blog posts that schuki refers to is of variable quality and advisability 15:41:49 +1 15:43:19 +1 to Dom's suggestion to think about what form any initiative of this kind should take 15:44:01 schuki: the idea of putting this on WPD is interesting 15:44:18 ... we could start by developing in the repo and then move it to WPD 15:44:54 before thinking about whether to do this and why before thinking about ow to do it 15:45:38 s/before thinking/it would be a good idea to decide/ 15:45:56 dom: we should try to understand better the audience and expected outcome of this document 15:46:10 ... since this will impact significantly the way the document is built 15:46:22 schuki: I'll add a note to that effect in the repo 15:46:28 ... clearly we need to think about it early 15:46:33 -jo? 15:46:35 https://github.com/w3c-webmob/mobile_best_practices/issues/16 15:46:50 q+ to suggest that before doing anything at all it might be an idea to see if anyone is going to edit it 15:47:10 q? 15:47:10 q- 15:47:28 +??P2 15:47:31 ack jo 15:47:31 jo, you wanted to suggest that before doing anything at all it might be an idea to see if anyone is going to edit it 15:48:22 jo: the group needs to decide if it thinks an update is worthwhile and what for given its available resources 15:48:55 ... if we feel it is worthwhile, then we should identify someone to act as an editor for the document 15:49:52 zakim, ??p2 is me 15:49:52 +jo; got it 15:50:21 schuki: that aspect probably needs to be managed separately of the github repo, will look into it 15:50:38 ... I'll ask the group how they feel about this 15:51:09 thanks jo! 15:51:11 -jo 15:51:16 Topic: Offline 15:51:23 schuki: got some updates on this 15:51:59 ... lots of the work I was planning for us to has been done elsewhere already, so it doesn't sound like we should spend our time on this 15:52:15 ... there is a meeting this week in SF on a spec for serviceworker 15:52:23 ... there are some emerging implementations 15:52:41 ... we should work on developing tests to ensure the technology fulfils its target use cases 15:53:04 ... marcos is suggesting we should take these use cases and start to do the ground work of testing service worker 15:53:24 ... I'll try to get the use cases sent the list and create a repo 15:53:25 q+ 15:53:37 ... this will be code oriented 15:53:49 ack dom 15:53:50 ... we'll provide update as we go, giving feedback 15:54:40 dom: from what I understand there are some early implementations that marcos pointed us to 15:54:52 schuki: there were, but they disappeared! 15:55:01 ... marcos is on the case to get them back on-line 15:55:13 ... you could otherwise compile firefox with the right options 15:55:25 ... I'll check back with marcos 15:56:14 ... people in mozilla have already started implementing and testing it 15:56:39 topic: payments 15:56:40 http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/topics.html 15:57:02 Schuki: reminder of the upcoming payments workshop (March 24-25) 15:57:16 ... before the break, we talked about developing use cases for the CG and the workshop 15:57:24 ... I'm on the program committee for the workshop 15:57:34 ... there will be a number of highly visible organizations at the workshop 15:57:47 ... banks, operators, on-line payment providers 15:58:13 ... if we want to make sure this matches our mobile need, we should bring our use cases 15:58:23 ... I'll create a repo for this to make it easy to contribute 15:58:35 ... we can then discuss and review them 15:59:06 http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/Work 15:59:11 Topic: AOB 15:59:24 schuki: there are a number of other task forces we discussed setting up 15:59:39 ... with our current broad focus, we probably already have more than enough on our plate 15:59:54 ... but if anyone wants to manage a new task force, feel free to offer your services on the list :) 16:00:01 ... but otherwise, we'll focus on these existing topics 16:00:10 q? 16:00:30 Bin_Hu: in the past, the CoreMob CG worked on a mobile profile 16:00:38 ... is there any plan to continue to work on that profile? 16:00:50 ... or is it something that the existing task forces will cover? 16:00:55 http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/Work 16:01:02 schuki: sort of yes and sort of not 16:01:18 ... our first task force in the list is the documentation task force on which I hope to start working soon 16:01:37 ... in TPAC, we discussed how to move our existing documentation into a more dynamic dashboard 16:01:41 Zakim, who's noisy? 16:01:49 ... we'll carry on working on that 16:01:51 dom, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: ernesto? (65%) 16:01:55 Zakim, mute ernesto 16:01:55 ernesto? should now be muted 16:02:12 ... On a profile per se, we don't have a current task force directly on this 16:02:19 ... but this could be suggested as a new work item 16:02:42 ... I'll bring that to the list 16:03:17 Schuki: thank you for joining the call; I'll follow up on the list, and anyone should feel to ask any question they may have 16:03:23 ... and contribute on github 16:03:29 -schuki 16:03:31 -dom 16:03:31 -Bin_Hu 16:03:37 -ernesto? 16:03:52 -??P5 16:03:54 MWI_WBMB()10:00AM has ended 16:03:54 Attendees were schuki, Dom, jo?, ernesto?, Bin_Hu, jo 16:03:55 s/ ->/ ->/g 16:04:01 RRSAgent, draft minutes 16:04:01 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/01/22-webmob-minutes.html dom 16:04:11 schuki has changed the topic to: Webmob Group IRC Channel - for meetings see http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/Meetings 16:05:09 Zakim, ??P5 was me 16:05:09 I don't understand '??P5 was me', kawada 16:05:27 Zakim, ??P5 is kawada 16:05:27 sorry, marcosc, I do not recognize a party named '??P5' 16:05:47 Thank you, marcos! 16:06:18 kawada, it didn't quite work... but we can update the minutes manually if you want to be listed 16:06:52 OK, thanks! 16:09:09 kawada has left #webmob 18:10:55 Zakim has left #webmob
