Wiki discussion

<steph> http://www.w3.org/2008/MW4D/wiki/

steph: have reorganized wiki, asking people to review it, has been adding information
... important to keep track of and post about events re this domain
... encouraging group to post items to the wiki & to share information via email to the group
... he can be point of contact to establish access

<steph> Lauri

Raphael: pointing out possible duplicative pages on wiki which could be combined
... any limitations on what should go on wiki?
... notices he gets blocked if he clicks too often... possible problem with "surge protection" on wiki?

Steph: send him directly the error message, so he can debug

<Raphael> ok

Steph: has done some recombination to simplify & eliminate empty/duplicative pages
... in future, may rearrange wiki as pages grow

Raphael: suggests tools to share bookmarks like del.icio.us

discussion of bookmark sharing tools

Steph: does not know tools & any advantages over wiki pages with links

<Raphael> this is one example: http://delicious.com/gamos

Steph: will look at using this tool

<renjish> http://digg.com/

<renjish> i think this has similar functions

<Raphael> http://delicious.com/mobileactive is a collection of 370 bookmarks

<Raphael> FYI

jeffs: many possible tagging tools, steph can evaluate and post recommendations

Roadmap Document

Steph: good work done on "vision" document, now time to move on to "Roadmap" document to plan work for next 10 months or so
... wants to discuss w group beginning this document; at end of this mtg he will establish new wiki page for this
... objectives for the document: 1) what technologies are available, & 2) access issues for each technology plus service knowledge & tools needed for each technology
... asking for opinions & feedback on how to start this work

Jeff: maybe first put up list of technologies

Jeffs: then we can go through the list indicating who has expertise in each area, then they can prepare para or two

Steph: either start w list of technologies or start with list of different challenges and see how each tech fits

<steph> evan

Evan: he & his colleagues are compiling a list of technologies
... also what existing projects and pilot programs have succeeded and failed in the past few years

Steph: perhaps we can mix the 2 approaches, with a) list of technologies & b) list what has been done so far & challenges

<stef> Jeff: it doesn't matter to me

<stef> starting point is important

<stef> list technologies

<stef> list of challenges

<stef> and see how we can sort and match

<stef> raphael: wiki format ?

<stef> jeffs: sure

<stef> brainstorming

<stef> starting as quickly as possible

<stef> Steph: +1

Steph: proposes mixed approach to deal with initial list as like a "brainstorming" session list
... question for group: any other dimensions for the brainstorming process?
... question for group: any volunteers to start the process

<renjish> +q

<stef> Jeff: i will go ahead and volunteer and start the process

<renjish> I can start on the technologies

<stef> Action Steph to start the roadmap page

<stef> joe: i can surely contributes to both challenges and technology

<stef> renjish: will contribute on the tech part

Any Other Business

<renjish> can we set a tentative deadline for this document?

<renjish> a rough deadline

Steph: 2 objectives a) state of the art in existing techs, b) identify challenges
... brainstorming part maybe 1 - 1.5 month timeline to get a solid start with specific topics

<renjish> I think max 2 months would be fine

Steph: any other business before we close the call?

<renjish> stephane

<renjish> one question

<Raphael_> thank you

Steph: no other business, so thanks and goodby

<Jacob> thanks

<stef> renjish

<renjish> is it ok to have the framework done by end of this WG's period?

Steph in response to Renjish: will probably refine "Vision" document with results of "brainstorming"

<renjish> yes

<renjish> ok

Steph: perhaps can finish "framework" completed sooner
