[minutes] BPWG Call 2010-09-28

Hi,

The minutes of today's call are available at:
  http://www.w3.org/2010/09/28-bpwg-minutes.html

... and pasted as raw text at the end of this message.

Two important decisions taken today:

1. the working group requests transition of the Mobile Web Application Best Practices (MWABP) specification from Last Call to Proposed Recommendation (skipping a second Candidate Recommendation phase as the implementation report is completed). I am to work on setting up the transition. Dan, Jo and I will inform the group on progress.

2. the working group reluctantly decided to remove the Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies from rec-track, and to publish the document as a Working Group Note. Jo and I will work offline on the preamble wording for the note.

A short charter extension (two weeks to one month) is envisioned, but we'll wait for result of transition call for MWABP before formally requesting the extension.

No call next week. Next call after MWABP transition call, probably in two weeks from now.

Francois.

Mobile Web Application Best Practices (a.k.a) BP2

    Jo: Francois? A run-down?

    <francois> [10]MWABP implementation report

      [10] http://www.w3.org/2010/07/mwabp-implementation-report

    <EdC> The matrix of implementation reports looks good.

    Francois: We are good. There are 3 best practices for which we don't
    have 2 proper implementation reports but I think it's OK. We have
    evidence of implementation in the world of "fingerprinting" - links
    in discussion in the mailing list.

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We are good to go on fingerprinting.

    <EdC> Why are entries in the column Uxebu marked "yes" instead of
    "pass" ?

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We are good to go on fingerprinting - i.e.
    point 14 of the implementation report ya know.

    RESOLUTION: We are good to go on fingerprinting - i.e. point 14 of
    the implementation report.

    [no objections]

    <francois> [EdC, there's indeed a slight problem in the table
    layout, I'll fix that]

    Francois: Moving to number 21. We have 2 implementation reports for
    that. I just note that the last implementation report said that they
    don't think it's that useful on mobile devices. I don't think we
    should worry about it.
    ... Unless there are any objections don't think we need a
    resolution.

    Jo: OK.

    Francois: Number 22- use fragment ID...
    ... We have multiple implementation reports but they all come from
    the same companies. Pity we don't have evidence from more than 1
    company but it does exist in the wild...

    Jo: It is extemely widely used - so not worried.

    Adam: It's worth noting that it's wildly used on desktop as well.

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We agree that Nunber 22- use fragment ID is OK
    to go even though all the formal implementation reports are from one
    company...

    RESOLUTION: We agree that Nunber 22- use fragment ID is OK to go
    even though all the formal implementation reports are from one
    company

    Francois: Last one is 26 - consider ... - 3 partial implementations
    from 3 different companies. So I think we are good to go.
    ... It's a "consider" best practice so difficult to define where
    line should be drawn.

    <EdC> And it proposes several methods, so partial might have been
    interpreted as "we use only one of all these".

    PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We are agreed that nunber 26 - consider .. is
    OK even considering we only have 3 partial implementations...

    <EdC> +1

    <francois> +1

    RESOLUTION: We are agreed that nunber 26 - consider .. is OK even
    considering we only have 3 partial implementations...

    Jo: Now we go to the transition request...

    Francois: before that I'd like to mention replies to the last call
    comments. We received the response from PFWG - they sent a positive
    response. One of the responses was not send to the public mailing
    list - it has not arrived there yet - I will chase him for this.

    Jo: We have a record from you (here) that this response has been
    received.

    Francois: yes, we are not waiting for any further reply - I will
    prepare disposition of comments.

    <scribe> ACTION: Daoust to prepare distribution of comments for BP2.
    [recorded in
    [11]http://www.w3.org/2010/09/28-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1072 - Prepare distribution of comments
    for BP2. [on François Daoust - due 2010-10-05].

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: The BPWG requests transition of Mobile Web
    Applications Best Practices (aka BP2) to Proposed Recommendation.
    There is no need for the document to go through Candidate
    Recommendation again.

    <francois> +1

    Jo: Any objections?

    <EdC> +1

    [none heard]

    RESOLUTION: The BPWG requests transition of Mobile Web Applications
    Best Practices (aka BP2) to Proposed Recommendation. There is no
    need for the document to go through Candidate Recommendation again.

    woo hoo!

    Francois: This means we need to request transition - it will take
    some time... Then Dan, Jo and I will have to attend a transition
    call with "the Director".

    Jo: Transition call within 2 weeks...

    Francois: Hopefully. Then 4 weeks minimum in PR.

    Thanks Adam!

[lovely] CT Guidelines

    Jo: Any last minute news from anybody on an implementation report
    that is forthcoming?
    ... If not, we don't have sufficient implementation evidence.

    Francois: That's correct.

    Jo: Anybody on this call here have anything to say about this?

    Adam: Aaron said he was going to...

    Jo: He kindly provided a report but it did not support a sufficient
    number of the points of conformance.

    Sean: Bad news [from Nokia]: we're not going to provide a report.

    Jo: I don't see any option that we have. Are we allowed to leave
    this in CR?

    Francois: As soon as the group closes, any remaining work items need
    to be published as a working group note. Seems to be a good idea to
    [publish it as a note] now.

    Jo: It seems a great shame but unless anyone has any brilliant ideas
    - I suggest we go ahead an publish it as a working group note.

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: "Downgrade" CT Guidelines to a WG Note and
    request publication as such.

    +1 (reluctantly)

    <francois> +1

    <SeanP> +1

    <adam> +1

    <twhume> +1 with a meh

    <EdC> +1 (sadly)

    <jo> +1 (it's a bitter pill to swallow)

    <EdC> how are group members (especiallly

    <EdC> operators and transcoder vendors) will utilize the CTG,

    <EdC> even if only as a WG note?

    RESOLUTION: "Downgrade" CT Guidelines to a WG Note and request
    publication as such.

    Jo: Whilst it would have more force as a recommendation, in practice
    getting the work out there in a published form is worth-while
    [whether it be Note or Recommendation].
    ... Francois, can you adjust the content of the document to turn it
    from a Rec into a Note. The main bits are in the preamble. We will
    take it offline.

    <jo> ACTION: Jo to talk with Francois about what is needed to enact
    the above resolution on CT Guidelines [recorded in
    [12]http://www.w3.org/2010/09/28-bpwg-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1073 - Talk with Francois about what is
    needed to enact the above resolution on CT Guidelines [on Jo Rabin -
    due 2010-10-05].

    Jo: Anything else on CT guidelines?

AOB?

    Jo: Charter extension - sounds like it's going to take at least 6
    weeks for BP2 to reach rec. So we need to request an extension or
    make w3m aware that we need an extension.

    Francois: We should wait for response on our request to transition
    to PR.

    Jo: ok - so later in october we will request an extension.
    ... We should close off outstanding issues and actions.

Issues & Actions clean-up
