No prorgress reported.

Face-to-face meeting in Edinburgh/London in July?

Some discussion of possible dates.

Late June works better than July for the folks on the phone.

Proposal: two or three of the days 26-28 June.

Works for everyone on the phone.

Norm: I'll propose that in email; we'll see if we can nail it down firmly or abandon the plans at the next meeting or before the next meeting in email.

Use cases/requirements/zip & unzip steps

Norm: Without Jim we just have to continue those.

Alex: I'd like to take all the work I did on the old use cases. I could just create the table that I had imagined and give it to the WG.

Norm: Yes, please do.

Bug 21007, errors in 5.8, p:declare-step

-> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21007

Norm: I think this is editorial; we mean neither and we could make that clearer.

General agreement.

<scribe> ACTION: A-231-01: Norm to propose a resolution for bug 21007. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/05/08-xproc-minutes.html#action01]

Semantic web step use case

Norm: I'll put a pointer to Alex's mail on the agenda for next time.

Alex: We could be publishing steps that use potential V2 features.
... Is the right way to do that to use the new features or do it with XML.

Norm: I don't think we'd want to publish a note that uses potential new features.

Alex: I was thinking the other way around, we could wrap the non-XML in XML for now.
... Is that the best thing? Down the road it might not be.

Norm: I think we might be better placed if we could get more V2 prep work done before doing new things like encryption and semantic web steps.

Any other business?

Alex: What are we doing next? There's use case and requirements, there are zip/unzip steps, then we've got features, then we've got more new steps.
... Even zip/unzip I wonder how that fits in with how we handle non-XML
... I guess the question is, what's the strategy?

Norm: We're in a bit of a bind. The charter only lets us work on use cases and requirements for V.next.
... Steps looked like low hanging fruit, but it turns out to be out of reach too.

Alex: I'd be happier if we actually had a finished use cases and requirements document.
... And that requires an editor with sufficient time.

Norm: I don't know how to make this work better.

Alex: I wonder if there are people in the community who would have more time

Norm: I don't know. New folks are welcome to join.

Some discussion of the charter.
