testsuite

<ed> ED: so, approve the tests labeled as "reviewed by CL, approve?"

<ed> ALL: yes, go ahead

http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=0,0,1314856789320127029&fb=1&hq=microsoft&hnear=brussels&daddr=Culliganlaan+1,+1831+Machelen,+Belgium&geocode=16487724983740769806,50.884409,4.449002&ei=8zHDS_2FLI_8_Aanif3VBg&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=directions-to&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQngIwAA

<ed> ACTION: ed to mark the "reviewed by CL, approve?" tests as approved, and generate updated reference images [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2756 - Mark the "reviewed by CL, approve?" tests as approved, and generate updated reference images [on Erik Dahlström - due 2010-04-19].

<ChrisL> template fixed

<scribe> scribe: anthony

<scribe> ScribeNick: anthony

ED: I think the grammar for the elliptical has been fixed

<ed> paths-data-20-f.svg

ED: I added a test for it
... would like some one to view the test

DS: Jeff Schiller had more to say about the syntax on the mailing list

ED: My update was after his email
... it covers white space after the first and second flags

DS: We could mention at least in the context of SVG 2.0
... a lacuna value for any given coordinate that is out of range
... can say it is assumed to be zero

ED: I'm not sure really
... if you want to go with 1 or 0 then you have a bias

DS: It's only cases where the arc flags are messed up
... what do you do with it?

ED: We just check if its 1 or 0 that's all
... if it's say 2
... we just say it's invalid
... you can't really parse it as anything else

DS: We should have it do something
... does the spec say what to do if the grammar isn't followed?

ED: It says what to do if the segment is not valid
... you render up to the valid point
... that's what is mentioned in 1.1 anyway
... render up to the last valid segement
... then continue with the rest of the document
... that's what the tests I wrote do
... and the tests from Microsoft

PD: I'm pretty sure that the spec says for this case
... exactly what Erik was saying

DS: I want to make sure this is captured in SVG 2.0
... I'll start an issue
... to make sure this is covered

ED: Any volunteers to review the test?

PD: We can review it

<scribe> ACTION: Patrick to Review paths-data-20-f.svg [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2757 - Review paths-data-20-f.svg [on Patrick Dengler - due 2010-04-19].

F2F Meeting

ED: Do we have a sign up form?

CL: No, I'll do that today

<ChrisL> i will make one today

<shepazu_> trackbot, pointer?

<trackbot> Sorry, shepazu_, I don't understand 'trackbot, pointer?'. Please refer to http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/irc for help

FX Force

ED: We should schedule a telcon time
... to review some of the issues

DS: We should ask them

ED: I can send an email to ask them to do it Thursday next week

PD: I'm not getting any information on the discussion

DS: Probably not on the mailing list

<shepazu_> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-fx/

DS: I'll drop you a link
... Just thinking about the dynamics about how this would play out
... we have come to a conclusion about image fit
... and then we go to the CSS WG and they get frustrated because we've had these private discussions
... we shouldn't talk about it in the groups
... and do it on the FX list

<scribe> ACTION: Erik to Suggest a new telcon time for the FX Task Force group [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2758 - Suggest a new telcon time for the FX Task Force group [on Erik Dahlström - due 2010-04-19].

Wording on radial gradient focal points

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2010AprJun/0016.html

AG: I've reviewed the test
... and the test looks fine to me

ED: Can we go ahead and approve the test?

ALL: Ok

AG: I suggested some extra wording
... to clarify the spec

ED: It is a bit wordy
... but it's sort of saying the same thing else where in xlink:href I think
... definitely something that could be interpreted in two different ways
... what does everything else thing of the additional wording?

CL: I think it would be good to put it in 1.1 SE

ED: It's more clear to me
... where should it go? In 'fx' or in 'fy' as well

AG: So, I had written the wording to go into the 'fx' attribute
... can be referenced by 'fy'

<scribe> ACTION: Anthony to Add the the proposed wording for 'fx' clarification to SVG 1.1 2nd Edition [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2759 - Add the the proposed wording for 'fx' clarification to SVG 1.1 2nd Edition [on Anthony Grasso - due 2010-04-19].

F2F Meeting

PD: There's a link to the location

ED: We have a registration page

http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/19480/SVGBrussels/

CL: Doug you asked if we could have a joint meeting with LGM

DS: The last I heard from them that they understood that we wanted have a meeting with them
... during the conference
... what we had intended was people from LGM to participate in the F2F

CL: Seems like we need to close a loop on that
... I'd be happy either way
... or for a panel and a meeting to occur

DS: I was going to say we could explain how the process works
... and see if we can get people participating from the community
... or at least get an understanding of why things take time
... but I'll follow through with them

<ChrisL> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVGF2F_2010_LGM

<ChrisL> so we can add hotel etc onto that

SVG 1.1 SE Push

CL: We have an implementation report
... which is largely complete

<ChrisL> http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/errata/implementation-report.html

CL: I've been maintaining that
... updating every time new versions of implementations come out
... we only want one pass per test

<ChrisL> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_1.1F2

CL: Erik can you think of specific tests we need to add to the report?

ED: There are some
... path-data-20-f.svg

CL: It's not on the wiki page
... need to add it to both of them

ED: Do we have reviews of the tests that are on the first page?

CL: Yes
... I think they are all reviewed
... and they are all approved as well

ED: Just checking that now

<ed> http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/svgdom-over-01-f.svg

ED: so one of the tests I made for the spec is unreviewed
... and the funny thing with that one is it conflicts with the one of the submitted Microsoft tests

CL: In that case Patrick should review it

<ed> struct-svg-01-f.svg

CL: That needs to go into to the test report as well

<ChrisL> svgdom-over-01-f.svg

CL: and the SVG DOM test needs to go to the test report as well

<scribe> ACTION: Patrick to Review the svgdom-over-01-f.svg and struct-svg-01-f.svg tests and resolve any of the conflicts [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2760 - Review the svgdom-over-01-f.svg and struct-svg-01-f.svg tests and resolve any of the conflicts [on Patrick Dengler - due 2010-04-19].

CL: any passes for the tests we are adding?

ED: Batik pass the first one
... Webkit and Inkscape fail
... Firefox pass and Opera passes
... the second one
... Opera 10.50 passes that one
... and partials on everyone else
... so who is going to update the implementation report?

CL: I'll do that anyway
... and update the results

DS: Are you testing Webkit Safari?

CL: No a nightly build

DS: Should we test Chrome as well?

CL: We should. In this case we are just after passes
... the Webkit rep on the CSS WG said not to bother running Safari
... but just to test it on Webkit

DS: I could test it on Safari and on Chrome

<scribe> ACTION: Chris to Add svgdom-over-01-f.svg and struct-svg-01-f.svg to the implementation report [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2761 - Add svgdom-over-01-f.svg and struct-svg-01-f.svg to the implementation report [on Chris Lilley - due 2010-04-19].

ED: Do we need to do anything else?
... I think we need to get the Test Suite fulling working

CL: Apart from the test suite I think the spec needs to be up to date

ED: There are a few editing actions

PD: I still don't have my editing credentials

DS: I'll look into that today

<ed> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Brussels%2C_Belgium_F2F

<ed> http://www.microsoft.com/ebc/brussels.mspx

<ChrisL> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/products/1

ED: Would it be helpful to gather together all the editing actions
... and send out emails

CL: Some of the actions can only be done after publication
... JWatt there's actions on ZoomEvent and an action on Text
... to propose some wording
... we are very close
... to completing
... we have 8 open issues
... we either fix them or push them to another spec

<ChrisL> close ISSUE-2017

<trackbot> ISSUE-2017 Find sane values for getSubStringLength and selectSubString closed

ED: Issue 2017 we can close because we were in agreement

<ed> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2017

<ChrisL> issue-2259?

<trackbot> ISSUE-2259 -- Inconsistent use of <uri> symbol -- RAISED

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2259

ISSUE-2299?

<trackbot> ISSUE-2299 -- Text on a path layout rules unclear wrt startpoint-on-the-path and text-anchor -- RAISED

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2299

ED: We can probably push that to SVG 2.0
... it's not going to be small change if we start trying to tweak the wording there

<ChrisL> once i had added tests or determined we don't need tests then i can close action-2697 and thus issue-2259

ED: I'll update that to be SVG 2.0 then

ISSUE-2305

ISSUE-2305?

<trackbot> ISSUE-2305 -- Line caps drawing on zero length lines -- RAISED

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2305

CL: We have a test for that

<ChrisL> http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/painting-stroke-10-t.svg

ED: I remember seeing one more test with the zero length lines
... Maybe if someone can take an action to write the test
... not sure if it's blocking publication
... there was a test submitted
... by the guy that originally reported the issue

CL: I can do that
... that's fine

ED: There is one point in that test case is unclear
... when the length matches the end of the line
... so that's the reason why one of the lines at the end of the test case
... was there in some and not there in others
... or break it up into several tests

<scribe> ACTION: Chris to Write a test for ISSUE-2305 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action07]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2762 - Write a test for ISSUE-2305 [on Chris Lilley - due 2010-04-19].

ISSUE-2309?

<trackbot> ISSUE-2309 -- Investigate impact of changing SVG 1.1 second edition to reference CSS2.1 -- RAISED

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2309

ED: I think we've said before it would be a too big of a change to make
... there have been some changes between 2.0 and 2.1
... such as clip and web fonts being dropped
... so if want to really reference 2.1 we really have to investigate that

CL: We can't really reference 2.1 because it's not going to be finished until the end of the year
... there are a few things we need to reference 2.0 because they are not in 2.1
... the specificity of style attribute changed
... we don't want SVG 1.1 SE waiting fro CSS 2.1 to be done

ED: We seem to know what to put in the spec

<scribe> ACTION: Chris to Add wording to the specification to account for the differences between CSS 2.0 and 2.1 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/04/12-svg-minutes.html#action08]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2763 - Add wording to the specification to account for the differences between CSS 2.0 and 2.1 [on Chris Lilley - due 2010-04-19].

Markers

PD: Should a marker receive an event?
... A connecting line would get an event

DS: If you click on any part of a shape including a marker the event is on the end element which the marker is applied

PD: Styling
... the spec says it should style against the origination rather than the instantiation

CL: In general we have the same styling as CSS
... there is one place we tried to do that differently
... which was in <use> and <symbol>

DS: I think what should have been done with markers
... is basically what was done with <use>
... and we can't change it now
... we could add a set of properties that deals with markers

CL: We can already do that with vector effects
... I think we should leave markers for SVG 1.1 SE as is
... then for 2.0 we should make them more like <use>

<ChrisL> also, for SVG 2.0 I want to drop markers and add a polymarker element

CL: Markers would effectively be deprecated

DS: Could you change it without causing backwards compatibility problems

CL: I'd rather replace it with different functionality

PD: Would it fix styling problem?

DS: Yes

Canvas and processing meeting

DS: Processing is a high level language that was ported to Java

<patrickd> patrickd: (I have to exit; hard stop)

trackbot, end telcon
