16:07:07 [vhardy]
glazou: this is for W3C mailing lists in general, not just the CSS lists.
16:07:23 [vhardy]
arno: some of the email just seem to never make it to my inbox.
16:07:35 [vhardy]

16:07:43 [vhardy]

Hakon: could we discuss the multi-col test suite?

+bradk
16:12:45 [vhardy]
hakon: the test suite is a start.
16:12:50 [vhardy]
glazou: how complete is it?
16:13:01 [vhardy]
hakon: it is a bit short on functionality.
16:13:11 [vhardy]
hakon: we need more test cases for edge cases.
16:13:35 [vhardy]
hakon: we would like to reach about 200 tests.
16:13:55 [vhardy]
hakon: we currently have about 20.
16:14:11 [vhardy]
hakon: I think Microsoft has between 50 and 100 tests.
16:14:55 [vhardy]
johnjan: It is Microsoft's intention to contribute the tests.
16:15:16 [vhardy]
glazou: other agenda items?
16:15:23 [johnjan]
we just want to make sure we're not going to submit a bunch of duplicates to the opera tests
16:15:35 [vhardy]
glazou: anything else about Kyoto?

vhardy: the SVG WG will not meet in Kyoto.
16:16:56 [vhardy]
glazou: yes, we had a message from them.
16:17:30 [vhardy]
glazou: Cameron McCormak sent a message on May 12th. The SVG WG will reschedule the meeting likely late July in the US.
16:18:00 [vhardy]
glazou: next agenda item. CSS 2.1 review period ended yesterday.
16:18:12 [vhardy]
glazou: 23 answers. 21 are ok-go ahead. 2 are requesting changes.
16:18:35 [vhardy]
glazou: some of the changes sent by Mohamed are related to references.
16:19:10 [vhardy]
glazou: David from Mozilla had a comment about issue 225. Nokia mentioned it to. Saying we could add it to the document since it is resolved.
16:19:33 [vhardy]
glazou: if we have add the resolution to the document, it could delay things. I would propose to move as fast as possible.
16:19:46 [vhardy]
fantasai: Bert said the director could agree to make that change.
16:20:03 [vhardy]
glazou: I am worried about a technical change that is not just editorial.
16:20:13 [vhardy]
fantasai: I think the Director should make that decision.
16:20:26 [vhardy]
fantasai: nobody objects to the change.
16:20:53 [vhardy]
glazou: the Director could also be worried that not everybody reviewed the issue 225 resolution.
16:21:20 [fantasai]
fantasai: That should be the director's call.
16:21:21 [vhardy]
glazou: our responsibility as chairs is to decide on what we should recommend for the director.
16:21:34 [vhardy]
glazou: unfortunately, Bert is not on the call.
16:21:43 [fantasai]
fantasai: I don't think we should recommend against the chagne

16:22:02 [vhardy]
glazou: If we can make some of the changes Mohamed recommended.
16:22:36 [vhardy]

http://wiki.csswg.org/planning/agenda
16:22:49 [vhardy]
glazou: let's move to other agenda items.
16:23:51 [vhardy]
vhardy: what do I need to do to prepare for WD publication.
16:24:22 [vhardy]
fantasai: talk to me and Bert off-line.
16:24:27 [vhardy]
vhardy: ok, will do.
16:24:56 [vhardy]
glazou: did you incorporate comments in the draft.
16:25:05 [vhardy]
vhardy: I am in the process to do that.
16:25:23 [vhardy]
glazou: we cannot make a decision to publish to WD because we do not have enough attendance in that call.
16:25:36 [vhardy]
glazou: I propose we wait until next week if we have a call or decide during the F2F.
16:25:49 [vhardy]
glazou: next item, we can talk about namespaces.
16:26:04 [vhardy]
glazou: I had an AI to ping the i18n WG.
16:26:34 [vhardy]
kojiishi: Actually, this was just discussed in the i18n meeting earlier today.
16:26:58 [vhardy]
kojiishi: we should have an answer by next week.
16:27:17 [vhardy]
glazou: I hope it will not imply a lot of changes. If it does not, we can publish.
16:27:23 [vhardy]
glazou: anything else on that topic?
16:27:31 [vhardy]
glazou: anything else we should discuss today?
16:27:46 [fantasai]
zakim, who is here?
16:27:46 [Zakim]
On the phone I see stearns, plinss, vhardy, glazou, smfr, [Microsoft], [Apple], [Microsoft.a], fantasai, kojiishi, arronei, howcome, bradk

... lhnz, krijnh, TabAtkins, hober, fantasai, plinss, Bert, Hixie, gsnedders, jgraham, trackbot
16:29:17 [vhardy]
fantasai: I have a question about what to do about the intric width of multi-col elements.
16:29:35 [vhardy]
hakon: I do not think this is a multi-col specific issue.
16:29:53 [vhardy]
hakon: I think this is an issue that we need to address, just not as a multi-col issue.
16:30:40 [vhardy]
glazou: do you mean that the algorithm to compute the width of columns is orthogonal to the widht of the elements themselves.
16:30:47 [vhardy]
s/widht/width
16:30:57 [vhardy]
fantasai: where should I address this?
16:31:22 [vhardy]
fantasai: we need to define the shrink wrap algorithm for table and other use cases.
16:32:01 [vhardy]
fantasai: I would like if this issue should be left undefined or if we should add it to the appendix of wrapping mode.
16:32:27 [vhardy]
hakon: yes, I think you should do.
16:33:13 [vhardy]
fantasai: multi-col has special considerations, such as the max-content-width that is different for multi-col elements.
16:34:35 [vhardy]
hakon: I do not think we should single out the multi-col elements.
16:35:50 [vhardy]
fantasai: describes a use case with multi-column where there are specificities.
16:36:22 [vhardy]
hakon: we have simplified the multi-column specification.
16:36:43 [vhardy]
fantasai: I would like to address these use cases.
16:41:41 [fantasai]
we have 3 options
16:41:44 [vhardy]
fantasai: we have 3 options:
16:41:54 [fantasai]
a) leave shrinkwrap undefined, as currently in css3-multicol
16:42:16 [fantasai]
b) define shrinkwrap to ignore multi-col properties, calculate as if columns weren't there
16:42:31 [fantasai]
c) define shrinkwrap with consideration of multicol properties
16:44:29 [vhardy]
hakon: there is already interoperable implementations of shrinkwrap in multi-col. It is not documented, but it is interoperably implemented.
16:44:48 [vhardy]
hakon: if we document it, it should document current implementation.
16:45:06 [vhardy]
galzou: fantasai says that the current impls. do not cover all scripts.
16:45:19 [vhardy]
fantasai: yes, and other more complicated use cases we have not though of yet.
16:45:29 [vhardy]
glazou: so we are not ready yet to standardize that?
16:45:59 [vhardy]
fantasai: no, it is just that shrinkwrapping multi-col elements is that it is more important than we thought.
16:46:19 [vhardy]
glazou: we have a pretty stable multi-col spec. that we can move along the spec. track.
16:46:39 [vhardy]
glazou: the shrinkwrap algorithm needs to be extended separately, and implementors will have to do their work.
16:46:48 [vhardy]
hakon: yes, I agree.
16:47:06 [vhardy]
hakon: if there are new use cases, we could address them in a later spec.
16:47:25 [vhardy]
glazou: yes, if we wait to address all use cases, we will drag the effort.
16:47:37 [vhardy]
fantasai: I am not asking to modify the multi-col spec.
16:47:51 [vhardy]
hakon: but you are asking to specifiy multi-col functionality in a different spec.
16:48:15 [vhardy]
glazou: do we have a proposal?
16:48:20 [vhardy]
fantasai: yes.
16:48:33 [vhardy]
glazou: we need the whole group to be present for this discussion.
16:48:53 [vhardy]
glazou: we cannot resolve it today. We can discuss it next week or during the F2F.
16:49:17 [vhardy]
glazou: changing something in the feature related to the relation between two specification is something we can still discuss.
16:49:54 [vhardy]
glazou: in the meantime, I propose we make progress on the multi-col spec. and make progress on the test suite, move it along as it is today. We have implementations, use cases on the web.
16:49:59 [vhardy]
fantasai: ok with me.
16:50:04 [vhardy]
hakon: ok with me.
16:51:04 [vhardy]
glazou: no change in the multi-col spec. for now. We will discuss shrinkwrap issues related to multi-col with hakon present.
16:51:45 [vhardy]
plinss: I proposed change to mercurial. Did not hear any objection. Planning to make the change today.
16:52:04 [vhardy]
fantasai: do we have documentation on the mercurial client.
16:52:50 [vhardy]
arronei: I have concerned about the documentation as well. We would need a place with documentation.
16:53:03 [vhardy]
fantasai: we would need instructions for common functionality.
16:53:15 [vhardy]
plinss: I can put this together.
16:53:26 [vhardy]
fantasai: documenting merge process would be great.
16:54:38 [vhardy]
(discussion about CVS/SVN merits)
16:56:45 [vhardy]
glazou: any objection to move to mercurial?
16:56:51 [vhardy]
fantasai: none if we have instructions.
16:56:57 [vhardy]
(no objection)
16:57:01 [fantasai]
very simple, clear, easy-to-follow instructions
16:57:08 [vhardy]
RESOLUTION: moving test suite to mercurial.
16:57:08 [fantasai]
