I don't see him on irc. Well we have a new invited expert, hopefully he'll be able to make it to one of our telecons soon 17:07:54 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-07-05-minutes 17:07:57 back 17:08:02 cwebber2: thx wilkie 17:08:15 tantek: next agenda item is approval of minutes 17:08:45 avacado+ 17:09:26 Ready for proposal 17:09:33 +1 17:09:34 +1 17:09:35 +1 17:09:37 +1 17:09:38 ... not seeing any +1s or anything 17:09:43 +1 17:09:44 ... oh okay 17:09:45 +1 17:09:46 +1 17:09:48 +1 17:09:50 ... thank you everyone 17:10:01 ... I declare the minutes approved 17:10:11 cwebber2, can you do the resolutions for Tantek pls? 17:10:37 cwebber2: eprodrom, I forget the syntax, it's just PROPOSED and then RESOLVED right? 17:11:01 RESOLVED 2016-07-05 minutes approval 17:11:15 aaronpk: there were a few things to address, I've been working on a new draft that should be ready to go, I've summarized the pages in document 17:11:26 http://micropub.net/draft/ 17:12:04 aaronpk: here's the latest micropub draft, I've added in a link to the test suite describing what the test suite will do, I've added conformance and exit criteria listing all features you'd expect, basically spec infrastructure we did with webmention 17:12:08 ... that's all in place now 17:12:29 ... this should be ready to publish as CR, but since there were other issues addressed as well, I'd like to publish as a Working Draft 17:12:33 +1 publish as WD 17:12:37 cwebber2 yes 17:12:43 changes described here http://micropub.net/draft/#changes-from-21-june-2016-wd-to-this-version 17:12:45 (while waiting for CR) 17:13:16 https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/issues/34 17:13:20 aaronpk: so the accessibility group looked over all 5 specs, only had comments about micropub, they said they'd like examples of posts including accessibility info, such as alt-text on an image 17:13:32 ... I've opened this as an issue on micropub 17:13:55 ... main issue is there isn't a syntax to provide alt-text of an image, because microformats doesn't either, and it's based on it 17:14:12 ... so I've opened an issue on microformats to track that as well... so that's blocked until we can solve from MicroFormats side 17:14:52 tantek: from SocialWG perspective of studying proprietary APIs, have you done any background research as how twitter, instagram, etc have provided alt-text of an image, or if they do at all? if they don't that's also useful info 17:14:55 q+ 17:14:58 aaronpk: I will do research on other apis 17:15:02 tantek: ok 17:15:44 eprodrom: so I wonder if the alt text is really distinct from title or comment on the image, and if those are supported? 17:16:01 aaronpk: I believe from the accessibility point of view, alt text is different from title or description 17:16:24 q+ 17:16:26 ... from what I've seen of people who actually consume alt-text of images, it's a description of the image, rather than what someone says about the post 17:16:40 tantek: that's my understanding as well, and twitter allows you to enter alt-text as a separate field in the ui 17:16:55 ... so from a ux perspective, certainly a deistinction 17:17:18 q- 17:17:32 ack eprodrom 17:17:39 aaronpk: the best path forward is to do some research on APIs and document that 17:17:53 ... and continue discussion on the github thread 17:18:00 tantek: would you still like to publish a WD? 17:18:01 q+ 17:18:05 aaronpk: yes with everything as of today 17:18:08 alt-text is objective and a title is subjective. yeah, twitter is a good example of allowing one person to provide both types of description. 17:18:38 tantek: it may be good to discuss inline that there's an outstanding issue and summarize and link to it so that anyone else reviewing the draft can go "oh yeah someone took a look at this" 17:18:40 aaronpk: can do 17:18:46 http://micropub.net/draft/ 17:18:47 tantek: is there an ED the group can look at? 17:18:54 aaronpk: yes online here --^ 17:19:24 http://micropub.net/draft/#changes-from-21-june-2016-wd-to-this-version 17:19:48 tantek: looks like these changes are pretty minor, is there anything you'd like to call out? 17:20:10 aaronpk: most of the text is the same, the differences from webmention specifically is summarizing other parts of the spec 17:20:24 http://micropub.net/draft/#candidate-recommendation-exit-criteria 17:20:26 ... eg the features, I created that from reading the whole spec and trying to describe a feature 17:20:38 ... everything else I think matches webmention pretty closely 17:21:04 tantek: let's put a proposal down then for the request that aaron made to publish a new WD 17:21:31 PROPOSED new draft of micropub at http://micropub.net/draft/ with addition of image upload alt-text feedback 17:21:35 +1 17:21:39 +1 17:21:39 +1 17:21:39 +1 17:21:45 +1 17:21:45 +1 17:21:50 +1 17:21:54 +1 17:21:57 +1 17:21:59 +1 17:22:00 q- 17:22:21 RESOLVED new draft of micropub at http://micropub.net/draft/ with addition of image upload alt-text feedback 17:22:50 tantek: that leads us to AS2 updates, assuming there are no other issues from micropub 17:22:52 aaronpk: correct 17:22:59 tantek: so AS2 I assume is eprodrom 17:23:01 topic: AS2 update 17:23:15 eprodrom: sure, so we had CR transition meeting which went well 17:23:26 ... we had one major element from meeting, which was at-risk features 17:23:47 ... we could have as exit criteria which was that any features not implemented in at least 2 implementations need to be marked for removal 17:23:55 ... making it possible to have a bit more of a process in removing elements 17:24:04 ... we got pushback on this for probably some pretty valid reasons 17:24:17 ... first of all, we didn't actually use the term "at risk" which is the proper term for w3c 17:24:33 ... so we were putting every feature "at risk" but not flagging(?) them "at risk" 17:25:10 ... the second is the question of whether it makes sense that everything at risk, with the reductio ad absurdum (?) that nothing is implemented, or we have a small set of features and types that don't really hang together or have relationship together 17:25:43 ... so ralph has suggested that we identify a small number of classes which will definitely be in a future version, where we wouldn't be able to go forward without those types and properties 17:25:45 http://w3c.github.io/activitystreams/core/#atrisk 17:25:54 s/ralph/Ralph (as acting Director for the CR telcon) 17:26:09 ... so what I did for this version is there's a new editor's version you can see here, which includes the term at risk 17:26:16 s/Ralph /Ralph Swick/ 17:26:43 ... almost everything at risk, which gives 4 core types (object, link, activity, ??, question) 17:26:51 ... and three types that almost would be impossible to get around using 17:27:08 ... and those are not at risk, and I framed it as the negative, that everything is at risk except these things 17:27:19 ... this could meet requirement of meeting without leaving a smudge on the table 17:27:34 ... gives our implementers to give an opportunity to say "these are the types I can count on being there" 17:27:53 http://w3c.github.io/activitystreams/vocabulary/#atrisk 17:27:53 ... and we have a similar section in vocabulary, however it just links to the core version 17:28:10 ... so it's more of a "there are things at risk here", you can check which ones are in the core version 17:28:13 ... so that's the first item 17:28:37 ... the other item this week that was important was we got a good list of issues from the i18n working group 17:28:58 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues?q=label%3Ai18n+is%3Aclosed 17:29:22 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3Ai18n%20 17:29:25 ... most of these were addressed by James, who did an omnibus pull request over the weekend, he can't be with us this time around, but what we have is a number of items about i18n in activitystreams 17:29:37 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20label%3Ai18n%20 17:29:46 ... thanks a lot to rhiaro for fagging the i18n ones 17:29:52 er 17:29:57 ... thanks a lot to rhiaro for flagging the i18n ones 17:30:05 I didn't label them, I guess Richard did 17:30:16 ... second was using particular normative references 17:30:23 ... we switched rfc??? to ???? 17:30:48 ... and RFC to 17:31:20 ... there was a second class about how to do things like identifying direction and language of a document 17:31:29 can review all those at https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/commits/master 17:31:34 ... so I think none of these will be controvercial 17:31:49 q? 17:32:00 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/341 17:32:41 ... the one normative recommendation was that if there was not a way to identify the default language for a document that we recommend that implementers use the named map / content map / ** map properties rather than their default version 17:32:45 {"name": "Evan Prodromou"} 17:32:58 {"nameMap": {"en": "Evan Prodromou"}} 17:33:02 ... so instead of having {"name": "Evan Prodromou"} we'd have {"nameMap": {"en": "Evan Prodromou"}} 17:33:28 ... we had originally typed out nameMap / summaryMap / etc to have multiple translations for a property 17:33:50 ... it was recommended that if we could not show the translations? for a document, we should use these by default 17:34:01 {"@context": {"@language": "en"}} 17:34:01 ... it is possible to set the default language for a json-ld document 17:34:11 ... so you specify the language in the context 17:34:34 {"nameMap": {"en": "Evan Prodromou"}} 17:34:37 q? 17:34:37 ... james noted that there are some implmeentations that will not be using the json-ld structure, and so he recommended that we use the longer mechanisms 17:34:47 ... he actually had text that said which we should use the map version 17:35:10 ... my feeling is that these map versions... that was a normative change, deprecated properties replaced them with these map ones 17:35:23 ... I think that instead we should suggest we should use the default language mechanism 17:35:24 q+ 17:35:38 ... so I removed that normative change and I'd like to get some guidance 17:35:44 q+ 17:35:45 ... so we have a case where the editors are not in agreement 17:35:47 q? 17:35:58 scribenick: rhiaro 17:36:20 cwebber2: A question for Evan - are you suggesting we use the json-ld style of content mapping? 17:36:24 eprodrom: for default language? 17:36:34 ... That is the way you set the dfeault language for AS2 documents, we already do 17:36:52 ... Thee question is should we make it a SHOULD to use the nameMap, contentMap, summaryMap, descriptionMap 17:37:04 ... The reason we would do that is for implementation that refuses to look in that context for the default language 17:37:25 cwebber2: I don't have a strong opinion. I think that it's not a bad thing or very hard even if you're not using a json-ld processor to look in that context 17:37:32 ... Assuming that you're not using.... I don't have a strong opinion 17:37:36 q? 17:37:39 ack cwebber2 17:37:43 ack cwebber 17:37:45 q- 17:37:51 ack sandro 17:37:58 scribenick: cwebber2 17:38:13 sandro: as clarification eprodrom, you say we already have the language thing, but that's a recent patch, right? 17:38:19 eprodrom: well it's inherit in json-ld 17:38:26 sandro: but it's never mentioned for activitystreams 17:38:47 ... so I agree with the essence of your proposal, I think suggesting everyone look at the map versions of properties is too painful 17:39:03 ... but I wonder if we can't do the @context language without the json-ld caveat 17:39:34 ... and suggest that everyone SHOULD provide a @context language, and every reader MUST check the @context language 17:39:52 eprodrom: so we recommend that people use the @(context: )language? 17:39:56 sandro: yes 17:40:11 eprodrom: I thiiink that that makes sense, but some examples will need to change 17:40:28 sandro: yeah, in the real world that may be a change, but 17:40:30 q+ 17:40:48 eprodrom: that could be a search and replace I think, it's just a question of do we want to have happen 17:40:57 "unk" 17:40:59 q? 17:41:46 eprodrom: another possibility is that if we use a language tag which means unknown, that could be somethign we use here to specify that if there is not a language tag, assume it's UND (undetermined) 17:41:56 sandro: then we wouldn't need to change the examples 17:42:04 eprodrom: we should probably change the examples anyway 17:42:07 sandro: yeah 17:42:20 Do we also need to alias @language to language to match everything else too? 17:42:27 eprodrom: it's nice to have it slim, but now we're making it a bit more complicated 17:42:41 ... and I think that's okay 17:42:59 "language" 17:43:02 q+ 17:43:15 ... the other option is to include a first class property 17:43:24 q? 17:43:27 scribenick: rhiaro 17:44:04 cwebber2: I think I'm all for the suggestion that we make it a SHOULD when you know the language and we also say the implementations must look at @context to look for it. It's not too tough to look there even if you're not using json-ld 17:44:44 ... But I'm not sure that we should change every example in the activitystreams doc to include an @context with the language property, the reason being that there's a classic problem where people start wanting to provide a language with content they don't know, and suddenly you have a bunch of content in another language tagged as English because the programmer was lazy 17:44:57 ... I think it's okay ot have some examples int here that might reflect that user submitted content is probably unknown in most cases 17:45:01 +1 cwebber2 important to avoid giving @language when system doesn't know it! 17:45:12 eprodrom: Interesting point 17:45:19 I agree with cwebber2 about not forcing a default language for exactly that point 17:45:23 q? 17:45:28 ack cwebber 17:45:30 q- cwebber2 17:45:34 ack rhiaro 17:45:58 q? 17:46:01 I have to reboot 17:46:03 my phone 17:46:08 hold on 17:46:08 If you are typing, please mute! 17:46:38 scribenick: rhiaro 17:46:59 rhiaro: I was thinking we can just alias @language to language and put the language tag on objects 17:47:11 sandro: The @language doesn't go on objects it goes in the context so that doesn't work 17:47:21 eprodrom: I'm not sure how that would work 17:47:26 q? 17:47:43 sandro: It looks like in json-ld it can go in the ocntent if you're using the expanded form, but since you're using the compacted form there's no place for the language to go so it has to go in the context 17:47:58 tantek: sounds like there's more non-trivial discussion, so we can move on to other points. Do we have a github issue for this? 17:48:05 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/341 17:48:10 eprodrom: yes 17:48:39 ... There is the question, I'm not exactly sure what happens next, but I think we push back publication. When do we make our decisions here and then go forward? Or do we fix after we publish? 17:49:03 tantek: the first part is there is non-trivial discusison, we're not going to get an answer on this telecon. We allow people to continue iterating on that issue, specifically cwebber2, rhiaro and sandro to chip in more 17:49:18 ... Second is about publishing. Either we decide to publish with this issue outstanding in which case we may want to call it out explicitly in the draft 17:49:33 ... Alternatively, up to you evan, is to wait to publish to resolve this issue first, then incorporate 17:49:57 eprodrom: At this point we can publish a working draft that *evan is cutting out* 17:50:27 ... James needs to be here? 17:50:35 something about not wanting to override James 17:50:42 without James in the room 17:50:52 I'd like to publish a WD and then look at CR next week 17:50:52 sandro: I think I heard Evan say he wasn't comfortable overriding one of James's decisions without James, so sounds like we need to wait until next week until James is back online and we can get his attention 17:50:59 ... Sounds like wer'e close to a consensus 17:51:23 tantek: sounds like you had a similar approach, just figuring out syntax 17:51:34 sandro: No question what the syntax is. I don't believe there's a design decision 17:51:51 eprodrom: We've got two feet on the ground and it's which we want to lean on. I'd like to publish what we have as an ED as a WD, and that will make it easier for review 17:52:01 ... With James's changes and the new at risk language 17:52:08 ... Just won't have the normative change to recommend using the map properties 17:52:18 tantek: Can we call that out as an issue inline 17:52:20 eprodrom: Yep 17:53:01 PROPOSED: publish AS2 documents as WDs with calling out issue https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/341 inline in the appropriate place in the document(s) 17:53:14 ... Perfect 17:53:19 +1 17:53:22 +1 17:53:23 +1 17:53:23 +1 17:53:25 +1 17:53:30 +1 17:53:46 +1 17:53:54 +1 17:53:58 +1 17:53:59 +1 17:54:09 RESOLVED: publish AS2 documents as WDs with calling out issue https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/341 inline in the appropriate place in the document(s) 17:54:25 tantek: is that the end of the AS2 update? 17:54:46 TOPIC: tracking document status 17:54:47 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/DocumentStatus 17:54:58 ... Any editors like to provide updated status? 17:55:13 q+ 17:55:24 ack ben_thatmustbeme 17:55:44 ben_thatmustbeme: I was wondering .??. jf2 are we changing publish dates again? 17:55:53 q? 17:55:53 ... sandro could I have an update of what are we publishing and when? 17:56:11 sandro: So we could try to go ahead with jf2 by itself. I had been waiting for other things, but as you've heard the other things have been snagged on other issues 17:56:21 ... I guess we might as well go ahead and do jf2 by itself 17:56:25 ... Not sure of the status with post type discovery 17:56:43 tantek: I've had trouble with pubrules checks so I have a draft but it's not passing pubrules, so that has additional work 17:56:52 ... I don't know if I can get those resolved in the next hour, but I don't want it to hold anything up 17:57:02 ... But if there's a desire to cluster publishing.. sandro? 17:57:09 sandro: I think clustering is nice but not particularly important 17:57:32 tantek: we're waiting on AS2 and micropub for WD, not going to CR today, need to address the comments for the things that came up during review 17:57:38 ... We don't have a new estimated date of CR for those, right? 17:57:58 sandro: assuming james and i18n hopefully we'll do AS2 next week, but I don't know how confident to be of that 17:58:01 ... I think we will 17:58:18 tantek: similarly the accessibility issue with micropub if we get that resolved we could do next week for that too? 17:58:27 sandro: is the micropub issue blocking CR? 17:58:33 tantek: aaron? 17:58:39 ... If it's a normative change that blocks CR 17:58:49 aaronpk: the accessibility issue asks for examples 17:58:57 ... So I belive that doesn't intend to block CR 17:59:12 tantek: to be fair if their request is for examples of something the spec doesn't support, and the spec requires a change, that's a CR blocker 17:59:16 ... We know of an outstanding normative change 17:59:28 ... Can you provide an example without altering the featureset of micropub? 17:59:37 aaronpk: I guess technically no because it relies on microformats specifying how to do that 18:00:05 KevinMarks: there is a way to ?? content and that will just ???? markup 18:00:25 ... The issue is do we need to define a more detailed set of properties for photo posts 18:00:39 aaronpk: I do think it needs to be handled explicitly 18:00:44 ... alttext shouldn't be mixed with the content of a post 18:00:47 KevinMarks: The content is HTML 18:00:58 let me type that 18:01:04 tantek: if the editor thinks this should be handled normatively that means it's a normative change 18:01:23 ... That's potentially possible for next week. aaron do you think you can do the resolution of this and any dependant issues by next week? 18:01:31 micropub parsing via microfomats can bring in the source html of posts via e-content 18:01:32 aaronpk: I think so, as long as we can make quick progress on the microformats side 18:01:41 tantek: Sounds like we may be abel to push everything forward a week 18:01:44 ... Okay by me for PTD 18:01:51 ... Ben is that okay for you for jf2? 18:01:54 ben_thatmustbeme: Fine waiting a week 18:02:06 that will preserve alt, figure, longdesc, aria any accessible html markup 18:02:15 tantek: new goal is to get everything in place for next week 18:02:24 ... Please resolve any normative issues in github ahead of time 18:02:30 ... That leaves SWP and AP 18:02:38 No change on SWP 18:02:58 cwebber2: I've been pushing pretty hard on getting an implementation out there and am pretty close to giving a usable draft 18:03:03 the specfic issue will be for parsing photo explicitly, and if we need to define a new object for those to hold richer metadata in parsed form 18:03:07 sandro, i'm assuming you want me to rewrite those staged version with the new date (7/19) 18:03:07 tantek: by next week? 18:03:13 tantek, sure 18:03:18 tantek, I hope so :) 18:03:39 tantek: We resolved last week to accept LDN as ED 18:03:39 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/DocumentStatus 18:04:25 We've got issues we're working through, and would like to go to FPWD soon, next week 18:04:31 tantek: Any more urgent issue? 18:04:56 excellent job(s) everyone -- kudos! 18:05:03 ... Lots of work for everyone to do for next week 18:05:12 ... If you're interested in changes happening, please review the changes as they're happening 18:05:17 ...
