- Action item review:
Under consideration
The following items are at risk of not being
included in the final agenda due to lack of sufficient material to discuss
and/or due to lack of time on the agenda.
- TAG work on W3C architecture pages:
- Jeni, and perhaps others, have promised drafts for discussion
- This session will be scheduled if drafts are available in time
- CORS and Web Security
- Technology analysis for Jeff Jaffe:
- ACTION-568: on - Noah Mendelsohn - Draft note for Jeff Jaffe listing 5 top TAG priorities as trackable items. - Due: 2012-01-03 - OPEN
- In private conversation with the chair, Yves Lafon has agreed to take the lead in preparing a draft note for consideration by the TAG
- API Minimization
- On Dec. 1, Dan Appelquist asked for a likely slot on minimization, but what we'd discuss was at the time unclear. If nothing else, we'll have to
consider the effect of Dan's departure on this work.
- As of 1 Dec. 2011 we were unclear as to whether there would be substantial progress to discuss relating to storage. The chair is inclined to schedule
a session if there's time.
- ACTION-523: on - Ashok Malhotra - (with help from Noah) build good product page for client storage finding, identifying top questions to be answered on client side storage - Due: 2011-12-20 - OPEN
- Possible review/triage of old open issues
- Our issues list seems to be good institutional memory for why we did things, but a poor guide to daily work. Maybe we should skim them looking for things we should work on. Is it worth the time to close each one individuatlly? Note:
from our charter:
The TAG will also resolve issues involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG.
Should we only keep issues open in the case where something has been
explicitly brought to the TAG for resolution?
- Fragment identifiers:
- Per discussion on 1 Dec 2011, Fragids: will not be ready for January F2F (HT and PL) — will get to it in January from minutes of 1 Dec: Tentative conclusion, don't discuss this at F2F, unless Henry or Peter proposes a particular issue
-
ISSUE-60 (webApplicationState-60): Web Applications: Client-side Storage
- Goals:
- Decide whether we're serious about moving on ACTION-475: on - Ashok Malhotra - Write finding on client-side storage, DanA to review - Due: 2011-05-24 - OPEN
- Discuss Slides from Ashok to be presented at this F2F
- Get organized for further work in this area. What are specific goals in terms of questions to be answered for the community, dates and deliverables? TAG "Product page" needed?
- Currently tracking under ISSUE-60, which is the same one we're using for more transient client-side state. Is ISSUE-60 appropriate for both?
- Background:
- Required reading: Slides from Ashok to be presented at this F2F (announcement email)
- From discussion of storage at Feb 2011 F2F:
NM: Assuming this is a separate
document, what are the top three questions it will answer for the
community?
AM: Give me three weeks
NM: OK, let's suspend judgement on
the long-term future of this work until we see your response
