HTML5 homepage question: what is source of the blockquote at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/#issues? there is no "cite" attribute, and blockquotes were EXPLICITLY deprecated for presentational effect in HTML4 (and that has not changed with HTML5) -- if this isn't a direct quote from a referencable document, then it shouldn't be in a blockquote, which lends the appearance of it being an excerpt from an "official" statement -- if that is the case, then the refer

One of the biggest changes is that we have removed the majority of the usage examples and code samples. Usage examples and code samples from the Action 54 first draft are being refined and most have now been submitted as Techniques for WCAG 2.0. If they are accepted, the action 54 document will link to them there. As Jason said in his comment, a format specification is not a tutorial.

16:40:53 [MikeSmith]
shepazu: the possibility remains that the HTML WG can engage directly with Forms WG
16:41:44 [shepazu]
maybe the Forms TF should be dissolved if it's not effective, and a new liaison should be attempted
16:42:48 [MikeSmith]
anne: forms are definitely in our scope
16:43:34 [shepazu]
if a group can't operate within the scope of its charter, maybe the charter is wrong :)
16:44:00 [oedipus]
yes, shepazu, yes!!!
16:44:03 [anne]
the charter says "Forms and ..." at the start of some bullet point in section 2.1
16:44:25 [oedipus]
it's not anyone's fault, but a misalignment of assumptions
16:46:01 [oedipus]
GJR plans on making a proposal to the TF and if fails, will bring proposal to chairs of HTML WG

16:51:15 [anne]
W3C doesn't have multipage yet, doesn't really matter either way though, as they're identical
16:51:32 [oedipus]
not precisely - there is a difference in the patent policy for one
16:51:56 [anne]
that shouldn't affect review of changes :)
16:51:58 [MikeSmith]
A change was made to the spec to address the issue, and change was to the satisfcation of Daniel Glazman.

q+ to say tracker itself needs to be ternary, not binary (issues: raise, propose, close)
17:12:32 [oedipus]
micro-issues on bugzilla, meta-issues on tracker? definition of meta-issues?
17:12:52 [Lachy]
MikeSmith, yo
17:13:38 [smedero]
oedipus: we aren't in full control of the W3C tracker software - the W3C systeam (mostly Dom) manages it and what states are in the system.
17:14:00 [smedero]
oedipus: raise was added when several other WGs needed a similar state, not just because we asked for it
17:14:12 [Lachy]
MikeSmith, I'm going to be taking a look at the authoring guide this weekend
17:14:16 [oedipus]
yes, smedero, but they recently "upgraded" the interface - i think the system could add a "proposed" issue state
17:14:31 [xover]
xover has joined #html-wg
17:14:58 [smedero]
oedipus: i just want to make the distinction for others clear - it is not like a self-hosted instance of bugzilla where we just go and configure it to our liking.
17:15:27 [oedipus]
RB: issues compiled from list discussions that had been dropped or trailed off; reason put together issues -- not individual proposals, but arose form conversation with other WG members but ignored by editor
17:15:50 [oedipus]
smedero, ok - systeam is overworked but pretty responsive
17:16:08 [smedero]
oedipus: agree on that. systeam is awesome.
17:16:52 [oedipus]
RB: what is difference btw these issues and the others in the issue tracker? why one more important than another?

17:19:57 [MikeSmith]
Steve_f: I would like to see some process whereby issues that people have raised to have [a clear route] for eventually getting into tbe Tracker
17:20:21 [oedipus]
GJR notes new issues are "Raised" not "Open"
17:20:36 [smedero]
yeah it is confusing... again we didn't have much say in the labeling
17:20:38 [Laura]
Perhaps the issue is that the issue tracker lacks known policies and procedures?
17:20:45 [smedero]
labels are shared across WG projects
17:20:46 [oedipus]
what is difference between raised and open -- they are distinct states, are they not?
17:20:51 [smedero]
yes
17:21:12 [smedero]
sadly RAISED == Bugzilla's OPEN (unverified)
17:21:20 [smedero]
OPEN == VERIFIED, picked up by Editor
17:21:46 [smedero]
I dunno... I asked that once but didn't get much of a response.

I think that maybe can be closed

MikeSmith: I will follow up with James about that
17:23:14 [smedero]
I should clarify that OPEN == Picked up by Editor, or WG as a whole (in the past that distinction has been left to the discretion of the Chairs)
17:23:23 [oedipus]
FIVE MINUTE WARNING
17:24:11 [oedipus]
smedero, so RAISED equals PROPOSED?
17:25:18 [robburns]
oedipus: that sounds like an adequate tier arrangement of issues already
17:25:32 [oedipus]
robburns, agreed
17:25:52 [MikeSmith]
Julian: my impression is that some of them or all of them have been discussed on the list, but the editor has so far ignored feedback from the HTTPbis WG
17:26:10 [oedipus]
MikeTMSmith, does RAISED equal PROPOSED and OPEN equal "taken up by editors and/or chairs"

I don't have a definitive answer. I think we need some clarification on exactly how the Chairs+Editors intended RAISED to be used. RAISED was added when the Editors asked for some way to discern between things that were in-progress (active working going on) vs. those that they haven't reviewed yet.
17:26:40 [anne]
HTML5 only says not to include the Referer header, it doesn't affect the syntax of it, fwiw.
17:26:52 [oedipus]
smedero, sounds dangerously close to an "issue" :-)
17:27:17 [anne]
see http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/structured.html#hyperlink0 for more information
17:27:46 [oedipus]
need syntax / semantic decision for chairs to make -- does raised equal proposed until opened by an editor or chair
17:28:41 [oedipus]
if RAISED equals PROPOSED then i retract my plus one to using bugzilla

thx
17:31:28 [Steve_f]
see ya!
17:31:34 [smedero]
I think we're having trouble separating a bugzilla style issue tracker vs. a high-level WG issue tracker that is largely there to help the Chairs+Editors+W3 staff facilitate to the WG: for instance a tool to help organize the weekly teleconference agenda
17:31:34 [oedipus]
bugzilla usefull for micro-issues and micro-discussion

17:39:48 [anne]
that mostly depends on the CSSWG presumably, meh, inter-WG communication sucks

who runs trackbot? can we ask them not to have trackbot speak whenever he starts?
20:45:51 [Hixie]
it makes like half the channels i'm in look busy
20:54:11 [anne]
ask #sysreq
20:54:18 [anne]
in #sysreq
20:56:59 [matt]
It's not supposed to be coming and going like that. I believe it coming and going is temporary while the maintainer is updating it -- last day or two has been particularly noisy, sorry.
20:57:28 [Hixie]
oh i'm fine with it coming and going
20:57:30 [Hixie]
don't get me wrong
20:57:39 [Hixie]
it's just that when it talks i'm like "ooh! someone said something!"
20:57:51 [Hixie]
and i jump into all three channels it's in looking for insightful comments
20:57:55 [Hixie]
and then i'm sad
20:58:08 [anne]
i have that too actually
20:58:17 [anne]
maybe it should be silent when it joins
20:59:01 [matt]
Thankfully we're introducing HappyBot shortly.
20:59:27 [Hixie]
hehe
21:02:00 [Philip]
I hope not, since I'm a bot and I don't tell anyone when I'm here
21:02:31 [matt]
I'm totally ignorant of IRC, and this is totally off-topic, but does anyone know of an IRC bot that can do logging, etc, but also privmsgs a user on first send letting them know their stuff is going to be logged?
21:02:53 [Hixie]
(oh i'm all in favour of the bot saying it's there when it first joins, or if it's been absent for a while, it's just when it reboots that it's annoying)
21:03:09 [Hixie]
matt: shouldn't be hard to do
21:03:12 [adele]

matt: That sounds like a regular IRC client with a "on join /msg $user You're being logged" script. Considering the frequency of autogreet scripts, it should be possible to find one for pretty much any client
21:11:41 [anne]
nickserv does that at least

23:38:12 [MikeSmith]
Hixie: yeah, please date it for Monday
23:39:00 [Hixie]
okie
23:45:23 [Hixie]
june 9th
23:45:44 [Hixie]
we'll be nicely and completely eclipsed by the iphone 2 release
23:45:59 [Hixie]
we really do need to work on our timing
23:47:16 [Philip]
It might be great timing, if that's the iPhone 2 With Extensive HTML5 Support release
23:47:21 [Hixie]
heh
23:47:26 [MikeSmith]
we can move it to later in the week
23:47:36 [MikeSmith]
if wanted
23:47:50 [Hixie]
nah
23:47:51 [Hixie]
it's fine
23:48:06 [Hixie]
it's not like we're hurting for input!
23:48:08 [Philip]
but not if it's the iPhone 2 With Actually We Realised You Don't Like Writing HTML So Here's A Proper SDK release
23:48:14 [Hixie]
anyway, new draft with june 9 date checked in
23:48:21 [Philip]
although actually I guess they released that SDK months ago
23:50:16 [MikeSmith]
I hope it's the ipHonE with built-in GPS release
23:51:28 [MikeSmith]
which would also make it the iPhone-which-will-actually-be-in-that-regard-useful-for-me-in-Japan release
23:59:42 [Hixie]
but i'd love a tablet...
