15:10:54 +1 sounds good to me 15:11:01 i think it makes sense to list presenters chronologically 15:11:10 hopefully today we will have a chance to go over the table contents and decided what should be in the document and what shouldn't 15:11:17 ron - that's usually done in acknowledgements 15:11:20 any questions form the room? 15:11:27 what are the drawbacks of a single report? length? 15:11:36 pchampin has joined #swxg 15:11:49 notes that summaries haven't been done for most. 15:11:52 q+ 15:11:57 ack hh 15:12:01 i think the pointers could be in an appendix 15:12:11 all the documents and links given to us should be put in the appendix 15:12:15 focus? 15:12:15 ack hhalpin 15:12:25 + +95177aabb 15:12:47 hhalpin, final reports are usually short, and shouldn't go over 30 pages 15:12:54 so that people end up actually reading it 15:13:24 hhalpin, the final document shouldn't be intimidating for people to read 15:13:36 shouldn't the report include concrete standardization proposals? 15:13:52 it is an XG and not a WG 15:13:56 caludio: ^^ 15:14:15 right but these would be proposals not charters 15:14:21 i think possibly 2 reports, thereby allowing a single report to be best focused on the thesis 15:14:48 +1 an effort to ensure longevity 15:14:53 IIRC we can suggest future ideas for W3C recommendations, but can't issue W3C recs ourselves. 15:14:56 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/rdb2rdf/RDB2RDF_SurveyReport.pdf 15:15:08 That's a good sample report - about 15 pages long, and did lead to a Working Group 15:15:09 for the longevity of the materials we should include all of the pointers and text collected in the XG should be put into a report so that they don't get lost 15:15:21 Ideally, AC reps should read the final report. 15:15:30 zakim, DKA is straighman 15:15:30 +straighman; got it 15:15:35 oops sorry 15:15:43 half of the report to be technical , and half of the report to be about the high-level issues 15:15:55 zakim, straighman is DKA 15:15:55 +DKA; got it 15:16:30 One would be surprised how much work we overviewed in the last year :) 15:16:54 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We will go for one report including high-level and technical material. 15:16:55 the report should be meeting the needs of the readers, christine thinks that the readers need to know, what we did, what our conclusions are, and what are recommendations are 15:17:27 2nd target audience, people who participated/contributors to the XG 15:17:38 +1 concise 15:17:47 +1 concise 15:17:47 the document above is 15 pages 15:17:54 +1 concise 15:17:58 I'd put a limit on it of about 30 pages. 15:18:00 -pchampin 15:18:09 and to the future for the Social Web, i.e. people we talked to and people which were in the XG, and poeple which are potentially going to join any future WG 15:18:14 DKA? Want to formally take a vote on that? 15:18:32 any objections? 15:18:33 2nd target audience includes people thinking of contributing to the WG 15:18:37 +1 single document 15:18:39 or strong feelings in the other directions? 15:18:45 +1 single document 15:18:49 +1 <= 30 pages 15:19:07 +1 single document 15:19:10 +1 to <= 30 pages 15:19:25 christene the categories above were: 15:19:26 1.

Acknowledgements 15:19:31 7. References 15:19:44 +pchampin 15:20:21 so we should look at the Wiki, and see which bits of the wiki we want to include into the final report 15:20:29 it seems that the "State of the Social Web" is in flux over the time we have been meeting 15:20:52 christine suggests that we define how many pages we are going to allocate for each section 15:20:56 audience is part of our charter isnt it?> 15:21:02 we should now go through this table of cotents 15:21:39 executive summary (1 page) 15:21:51 then a table of contents 15:21:54 +1 executive summary should be "miniskirtish" 15:21:58 introductions (1-2 pages) 15:22:20 description of the audience to go into the introduction 15:22:25 audience is like a paragraph is it not? 15:22:49 who are the intended readers -> a few sentences in the introduction 15:22:59 dont those principles come from our charter? 15:23:14 rreck: ask a question 15:23:14 we have guiding principles in charter 15:23:47 isnt cperey on IRC? 15:23:50 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/charter 15:24:26 i dont *really* have a question 15:24:31 q? 15:24:42 ronald askes if, our guiding principles are in the charter ?

15:38:45 its due after summer 15:38:49 sept 15:38:53 1st sept I think. 15:38:56 chritine, states that if we show the report the experts, it will boost their confidence in our report and our activity 15:39:00 +q 15:39:03 so how long would we give them to respond?
