Santa Clara F2F October (TPAC)

https://www.w3.org/wiki/TimedText/tpac2014

nigel: I've set aside Monday for a variety of things and Tuesday for TTML2, and added multimodal interaction and audio rendering.

jdsmith: Will the audio rendering include use cases and scenarios

nigel: Yes, e.g. audio description scripting or captured speech markup
... In the absence of other info I'll define lunch to be at 12:30
... and morning break at 10:00 and afternoon break 15:30.
... but of course we can be flexible.

IMSC CR Exit Criteria

nigel: We have a choice about putting in exit criteria. I've listed some considerations in the agenda.

pal: I'm still gathering information. There are already entry criteria for PR. Those steps are clear.

nigel: The steps are clear but the fulfillment of them is unclear to me - at least we have quite a lot of flexibility.

pal: That's deliberate; some flexibility is useful for the working group.

nigel: Yes, and for this document we have to resolve the flexibility into a decision.

pal: Section 7.2.4 describes the implementation considerations.

nigel: There are a whole bunch of other questions that fall under those too (e.g. what's listed in the agenda)

http://www.w3.org/2014/Process-20140801/#implementation-experience

nigel: My view is it would be useful to state criteria now so we know when to move to PR.

pal: We don't need to do it now though - we can wait until after testing has started.

glenn: The criteria can be as weak as we want to make them. For example the HTML spec followed a weak definition of adequacy.

nigel: I agree: I listed the considerations that we should think about - we don't have to use them all.

glenn: We need a story for each of the bullets in 7.2.4.

pal: In the 2005 process 'adequate implementation experience' was undefined, whereas in the 2014 process
... it is listed. By definition we have to show the Director we have a good answer for each of those bullets.

glenn: That list isn't exhaustive or mandatory though. It's a 'some of the things that will be considered'.
... For example, feature implementation will be considered. When we went to CR with TTML1 originally we faced the issue
... of what it means to specify a feature. This was related to the test suite requirements, and that drove our definition
... of features in the profiling mechanism, and our enumeration of those features in the spec.
... By enumerating them that gave us a list of things we knew we had to test and talk about re implementation activity.
... That's how we did it in TTML1. We can define features for testing however we want.

pal: In my view the WG should keep its options open so it can declare when it thinks it has got far enough to move to PR.

glenn: I agree with that. The point about feature implementation is expected to be talked about in the transition process.
... So you might want to consider enumerating the features of IMSC that would be considered criteria for testing
... implementations. It doesn't require that every syntactic or semantic point be labelled as a feature - it can be
... generalised for example.

pal: I started a wiki page where we will be able to do that, which will also serve as the implementation report.

<pal> https://www.w3.org/wiki/TimedText/IMSC1_Implementation_Report

pal: This is a place where we'll be able to list the features, sample files and the implementation experience we've
... received.

nigel: From a project planning perspective we need some deliverable that we can target, and that needs to be defined.
... I'll present my thoughts on Monday on this.

WebVTT publication

http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/webvtt-staged-snapshot.html

Proposal: publish the staged snapshot of WebVTT as a FPWD.

glenn: That draft references the DOM4 spec and the Encoding Spec. I believe there are now W3C counterparts to those.
... Can we change those before going to FPWD?
... Also HTML - all are referenced as WHATWG and I'd like to see them changed to the W3C versions if that can be done.
... That's the only blocking issue for me.

nigel: I think the way to do that is to file a bug using the link in the top right.

glenn: okay I'll do that.

nigel: We'll carry this forward proposal to Monday.

Proposal: use http://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/ for the short name.

Issues raised

nigel: I raised 3 issues to cover the steps needed for the external short code processor profile parameter.
... In order they are issue-353, issue-351 and issue-352

issue-353?

<trackbot> issue-353 -- Normatively define short code processorProfiles parameter -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/353

issue-351?

<trackbot> issue-351 -- Update IANA registration for TTML2 -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/351

issue-352?

<trackbot> issue-352 -- Add Media Registration Annex -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/352

glenn: I would prefer to put all of these into a separate document, not TTML2.
... We could publish a WG Note for example that contains these three items.

nigel: Is there any particular reason not to put it in TTML2?

glenn: We had a lot of iterations with IANA to get it into TTML1 so it would be good to disconnect it.
... Plus there's nothing normative in TTML2 that needs to make reference to it. In fact its the other way round -
... This material might make reference to TTML2 but nothing in TTML2 normatively needs to make use of it right now.
... It's strictly a function for people embedding TTML2 in MPEG etc.

nigel: I'd go further - there's no reason it shouldn't apply to TTML1 too.
... We don't have a product for this yet - I guess we can add one.

glenn: Also we need to understand the issue of what it means if both the profile and processorProfiles parameters
... are included simultaneously. How does that impact backward compatibility etc?

nigel: That makes sense to me as long as e.g. MPEG is happy to reference a WG Note rather than a Recommendation.

<scribe> ACTION: nigel Check with the MPEG folk if a WG Note would be acceptable. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/10/23-tt-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-341 - Check with the mpeg folk if a wg note would be acceptable. [on Nigel Megitt - due 2014-10-30].

Action-341: If a Note is okay, create a Product and reassign issue-351, issue-352 and issue-353 to that product.

<trackbot> Notes added to Action-341 Check with the mpeg folk if a wg note would be acceptable..

nigel: We'll follow that up on Monday or Tuesday.

<glenn> re: WebVTT FPWD, see new bug report at https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27142 to resolve my concerns

Change Proposals - progress and review

nigel: I should add this topic to the agenda for Tuesday since its a dependency for TTML2 currently.

<scribe> ACTION: nigel Add Change Proposals to the TPAC agenda for Tuesday [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/10/23-tt-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-342 - Add change proposals to the tpac agenda for tuesday [on Nigel Megitt - due 2014-10-30].

nigel: We'll meet at 8:30 California time in whatever room we're meeting in - happy travels to those travelling, and see you then.
... Adjourns meeting.
