Review and tweak agenda

AB: the draft agenda was posted yesterday ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0035.html ). Any change requests? If we have time today, during the AOB topic, I'd like to discuss publishing a new WD of the Widget Update spec.

FH: want to talk about DigSig and WARP

AB: we can re-arrange the topics

Announcements:

AB: any short announcements?

Widget Digital Signature spec

AB: yesterday Frederick submitted a revised Change Request ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0028.html ) for the C14N bug we briefly discussed last week. Any comments or concerns about this CR?

[ no ]

AB: this CR will affect existing implementations. Thus the spec will need to return to Last Call WD.

FH: the feedback I got is that it is OK

MC: I think it is OK; thanks for doing this FH

FH: I discussed this with TLR
... and with people within Nokia
... internal feedback and TLR feedback is OK
... don't think we have an backward compat harm
... I think we should adopt it since it will help prevent future interop issues

TR: have we had review from other implementors?
... e.g. Bryan Sullivan

FH: I haven't seen anything from Bryan

TR: who do we expect impl report and what have they said

MC: I expect Opera to implement; BONDI may have has already implemented

TR: 2nd question - there was another comment on the list
... about optionality here re c14n

FH: I think the revised text addresses this concern
... I responded to Andreas on the list
... don't think we want too many options
... it just leads to interop problems

<tlr> Ah, I had overlooked this file: "A ds:Reference that is not to same-document XML content

<tlr> MUST NOT have any ds:Transform elements."

MC: the feedback we get is that we don't want to do c14n on XML lines within the widget

FH: I think MC's argumentation is stronger since it is based on implementor feedback

AB: this CR will affect existing implementations. Thus the spec will need to return to Last Call WD.

FH: yes, it will affect implementations

AB: proposed RESOLUTION: the group agrees FH's Widget DigSig Change Request should be applied
... any objections?

FH: do we need to deal with BONDI explicitly?

AB: I think we have given everyone sufficient time to respond
... any objections to the proposed resolution?

[ none ]

RESOLUTION: the group agrees FH's Widget DigSig Change Request should be applied

<scribe> ACTION: frederick update the Widget DigSig spec to reflect the CR [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/08-wam-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-519 - Update the Widget DigSig spec to reflect the CR [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2010-04-15].

RB: yes, I support this CR

AB: we need to record consensus to publish the new LCWD
... proposed RESOLUTION: the group agrees to publish a new LCWD of the Widget Digital Signature spec
... any objections?

[ no ]

RESOLUTION: the group agrees to publish a new LCWD of the Widget Digital Signature spec

AB: review period: I think we should go for the 3-week minimum. OK?

<darobin> +!

<fjh> +1

<darobin> +1

AB: any object to a 3-wk review period?

[ no ]

<fjh> +spot

<darobin> +his arse

AB: other than the XML Security WG, is there any other WG we want to ask to review the new LC?

FH: I'd like people to review my change
... let's shoot for a April 15 pub
... I can make the ED changes today

AB: great

<scribe> ACTION: barstow notify the WG after FH adds the CR to the ED [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/08-wam-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-520 - Notify the WG after FH adds the CR to the ED [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-04-15].

AB: Frederick, please apply Action-508 "Widget DigSig spec: make sure references to XML Sig 1.1 are updated" ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/508 )

<fjh> not Candidate Req but change request

FH: sure, I will do that

AB: anything else on dig sig for today

FH: after the ED is done, I do pub rules

AB: after it passes pubrules, notify me
... anything else on DigSig for today?

WARP spec

AB: Robin, please check Action-511 "Check if WARP spec should use RFC2181 instead of RFC1034" based on a comment from Yves ( http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/511 )
... Robin completed the WARP LC disposition of comments (DoC) document several weeks ago. Today we want to approve this document ( http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42538/WD-widgets-access-20091208/doc/ ).
... any issues with this WARP DoC document?

[ no ]

AB: last week we discussed advancing the WARP spec to Candidate Recommendation. Does anyone have any concerns about that?
... proposed RESOLUTION: the group agrees to publish the WARP spec as a Candidate Recommendation
... are there any objections to that?

<darobin> +1

AB: or voices of support?

RB: support

MC: support

RESOLUTION: the group agrees to publish the WARP spec as a Candidate Recommendation

<scribe> ACTION: barstow schedule a Director's call to publish a CR of the WARP spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/08-wam-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-521 - Schedule a Director's call to publish a CR of the WARP spec [on Arthur Barstow - due 2010-04-15].

AB: Robin, you'll need to attend
... anyone else want join?

DS: I should be there

AB: anything else on WARP for today?

P&C spec

AB: this topic is intended to review the latest comments the I18N Core WG has re Marcos' latest proposal ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0021.html ). But I haven't seen any recent replies.

<Marcos> fjh, I can help you with processing the doc

MC: I haven't seen anything more from them

AB: should we start the process of moving this spec to PR?

MC: we won't be able to show ITS support

AB: my take on this issue from previous discussions, is that SteveP has indicated we don't need to have implementations but able to show it can be implemented

MC: I thought we need the test and a screen shot it had been implemented
... I don't think having tests is enough

DS: technically, think you just need to show it can be implemented

MC: I've implemented it in JS

DS: some people think the impls must be in real products

MC: this functionality was a MAY
... we only added it to satisfy the I18N community
... we never had impl support for it

AB: so is this functionality optional

MC: no, it is part of the language

DS: I think Steven is correct to pass PR

MC: we have the tests
... we need Robin's impl
... and with Opera we can show some screenshots
... think wookie is going to implement

AB: are these tests part of the core test suite or off on the side?

MC: off on the side

AB: is this going to affect Implementation Report we already have?

MC: we will leave these out
... and put them in a separate impl report

AB: I think that's OK
... and it can be a really simple report
... so until we have the screenshots and impls, we can't go to PR

MC: that's right

<darobin> [I have no idea at all]

AB: any timeframe for screenshots or implementations?

<darobin> ["weeks"]

MC: no, not at this point; could be in a few weeks

AB: are there any other action items re P&C spec?
... can we go from CR to CR?

DS: no, must go thru LC

<darobin> [straight to PR!]

AB: OK, so we continue to sit in CR until we have at least 2 implementation reports of the <span> and dir atrribute

DS: if you know you have to wait, it could be more efficient to go back to LC

AB: thanks for that input

View Modes Media Feature spec

AB: ED is: http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-vmmf/
... what is the status of responding to comments, updating the spec?

RB: I expect to make progress today

AB: great
... anything you need from the rest of us?

RB: nothing now

AB: anything else for VMMF?

KC: think chrome definition needs some work

<darobin> [send an issue :)]

KC: as I said on the list

RB: I will go through all of the emails; won't miss it

KC: sounds good

View Modes Interfaces spec

AB: Kenneth proposed to rename ViewModeChanged to ViewModeChange ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0002.html ). Any comments on this proposal?

<darobin> +1

JS: need to look at what HTML does
... have onMouseDown
... and similar

<timeless_mbp> OnViewChange

JS: could argue for onViewChange

KC: onWidgetModeChange

<kenneth> yes

<kenneth> I think opera uses onwidgetmodechange

JS: not sure we want to use that triple
... also pretty sure we do not want to include the term "widget"

<kenneth> the problem with onviewchange is that it didnt change to another view

<kenneth> include?

JS: perhaps "presentation" is better
... could look for prior usage of it
... onPresentationChange or onRepresentationChange

<timeless_mbp> I'm done :)

<kenneth> i got dropped from the call wait

AB: if people have counter-proposals, please respond to KC's email on the list
... Kenneth suggests we need an API for requesting view mode changes from JavaScript? ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0002.html ). Any comments?

<kenneth> I cannot get the phone to work :-(

<kenneth> ArtB, any way, what about the -d ? changed vs change?

AB: there is no consensus on your proposal
... continue discussion on the mail list

<darobin> [FWIW I think that dropping the -d is fine, it's more consistent with the rest]

<kenneth> ok

<darobin> [I also think that naming issues shouldn't be discussed by groups, they are editor territory]

KC: we need that API
... so apps can change view modes
... but some widgets may not support all modes
... thus need a request
... also a question about where the API should be defined
... e.g. the Widget Interface spec

MC: we can't put it in TWI spec since that spec is in CR

RB: could be put in TWI spec 1.1

MC: don't want versioned specs but supplemental specs

<timeless_mbp> TWITNG

MC: if we can put this in CSSOM [Views] that would be good

<darobin> Anne van Kesteren

KC: who can talk to about doing that?

MC: Anne van Kesteren and/or the CSS WG

<kenneth> sounds frisian :-)

<kenneth> ah

MC: Opera's view is to use CSSOM as much as possible

AB: can you take a cut at what should move to CSSOM and what, if anything, would be left for us to specifiy

MC: I got some pushback from AvK (see list)
... may need to take this to the CSS WG
... perhaps Robin or Josh can help here

AB: we do indeed need someone to agree to do spec split analysis

<darobin> [I will look into it, but just like timeless I need time]

MC: I can ask AvK

<scribe> ACTION: marcos talk to AvK about how to split the VM-I spec and the CSSOM spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/08-wam-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-522 - Talk to AvK about how to split the VM-I spec and the CSSOM spec [on Marcos Caceres - due 2010-04-15].

MC: perhaps we can co-edit the spec with him

AB: anyone else beside KC that can help with this spec split analysis?

MC: I will push internally

AB: ok, sounds good
... anything else on VM-I for today?

Widget Update spec

AB: I believe Marcos has added all of the PAG's recommendations to the ED

MC: yes, that is correct
... it was actually Robin that did the edits

AB: thanks Robin!
... I think it would be useful to get a formal WD published that just reflects the PAGs recommendations
... thus I'd like to see a new WD published as soon as we can

MC: I agree
... it needs to be labeled as a snapshot

AB: we can address that via the Status of the Doc

MC: I'll add some more stuff

AB: propose that we publish the Widget Update spec as soon as Marcos can get it ready
... any objections?

[ none ]

AB: can you get it ready for publication next week?

MC: yes, I can get it pubrules compliant today

<scribe> ACTION: marcos notify ArtB when Widget Update spec is ready for a new WD publication [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/08-wam-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-523 - Notify ArtB when Widget Update spec is ready for a new WD publication [on Marcos Caceres - due 2010-04-15].

MC: perhaps we can coordiante the publications

AB: there is some value in that but also some additional coordination overhead
... anything else on Updates spec for today?

AOB

AB: any other topics for today?
... next meeting is April 15. This meeting is adjourned.

<kenneth> I might not be joining as I'm travelling to US
