16:09:16 [oedipus]
CW: sent out draft - working on it this morning - few comments in minutes
16:09:32 [oedipus]
TOPIC: XG Report
16:10:08 [oedipus]
CW: skipped over question of "what is a rich web application" -- perhaps need to loop back a bit to address declarative languages for rich web applications
16:10:41 [oedipus]
CW: prototyping early next year had been the plan, but perhaps have opportunity to begin first report with discussion of "what is a rich web application"
16:11:00 [oedipus]
CW: re-read and think that the info is there, but needs to be compiled and conflated
16:11:38 [oedipus]
CW: we are RWAB XG -- struck at TPAC about what other WGs doing; HTML5 not interested; Dave Raggett has new XG
16:11:59 [oedipus]
CW: aim is that RWAB XG report that could trigger thinking across community
16:12:08 [oedipus]
CW: what is need for RWA?
16:12:54 [oedipus]
CW: evolution of web from content platform to application platform; HTML came from content-publishing background and incrementally changes, but current working groups are concentrating on cross-platform apps
16:13:23 [oedipus]
CW: both API and format -- continuing need for someone in W3C to investigate this issue in detail, not ad hoc
16:14:27 [oedipus]
CW: what do we mean by "rich"? stems from functionality; definition of "rich" can factor that - not enough to provide graphics (presentation) -- think from MVC PoV it is an application, and each level has its own levels of richness
16:14:58 [oedipus]
CW: pre-fill screen intelligently in conformance with past actions, saved preferences, etc. --- functionality of interactino
16:15:12 [oedipus]
CW: context feedback - what controls are active at any point and time
16:15:25 [oedipus]
CW: rich graphics PoV is limited; open discussion of richness
16:15:39 [oedipus]
GJR: sounds to me like ARIA for those who don't use AT
16:18:42 [oedipus]
CW: performance benefits, accessibility benefits, persistence with local cache
16:19:23 [oedipus]
CW: second section to broaden definition of RWA so people don't think about rich graphics, but providing data-, view-, control/logic aspects
16:19:43 [CharlieWiecha]
see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-app-backplane/2008Dec/0000.html for paper draft outline
16:19:50 [oedipus]
GJR: Rich Web Application equals "Smart" Web Application
16:20:02 [oedipus]
CW: how does one build one
16:20:10 [oedipus]
CW: architectural patterns
16:20:26 [oedipus]
CW: sub-section for each? just made list of what could think of offhand, so please add
16:20:56 [oedipus]
CW: MVC patterns trying to incorporate into ubiquity-xforms -- feeding data by ubiquity binding - MVC pattern
16:21:12 [oedipus]
CW: using events coordinated across page so more transparent
16:21:22 [oedipus]
CW: Mark Birbeck very keen on this;
16:21:41 [oedipus]
CW: JackJ keen on what he's developed in SMIL paper: implicit coordination pattern
16:21:59 [oedipus]
CW: Rahul's submissions pattern - other uses of mechanism (incremental data refresh, etc.)
16:22:11 [oedipus]
CW: can fill out sections on patterns
16:22:29 [oedipus]
CW: section on problem of platform support: how to deliver XML to client?
16:22:54 [oedipus]
CW: javascript as tag library not model for page author - javascript in XML rather than XSLT
16:23:07 [oedipus]
CW: ODF implement in client using javascript; vertical standards
16:23:42 [oedipus]
CW: XML not data definition, but processing model of life cycle; when have behavior need script library to do that - been traditional problem
16:24:00 [oedipus]
CW: bridging what Forms WG doing - how did we get from here to there
16:25:01 [oedipus]
GJR: for the sub-section you outlined, i will provide prose as to how one could could repurpose from backend to deliver what is most appropriate/useable
