Arnaud: when you dont have network connection, the user experience can be very bad
19:26:41 [chunming]
[offline usage experience is equally important]
19:28:08 [chunming]
[if we have several mobile devices, say, phone, pad, and watch, we may need a kind of interconnection, and smooth transfer of content between difference screen/devices.
19:28:15 [Angel]
RayD: when you lose the network connection, you can not access the web page you downloaded before, that's bad

19:41:55 [Angel]
Mohammed: in the mobile group, W3C is trying to indentify the difference between the web app and native app
19:42:16 [Angel]

HongLiu: now we work on the requirements for improvement
19:47:18 [Angel]
...1st.for the adaption of the web page
19:48:43 [Angel]
RayD: W3C should be more proactive to provide options for developers
19:49:03 [Angel]
Dong-Young: there was mobile ok validator for web content that can help
19:49:16 [jeanne]

19:49:48 [Angel]
RayD: to what extend do we know if the developers are paying attention to it?
19:50:06 [jeanne]
Mobile OK checker -> http://validator.w3.org/mobile/
19:50:10 [mdadas]
related to difference between native and web apps : http://www.w3.org/wiki/Closing_the_gap_with_native
19:50:11 [Angel]
HongLiu: anything the browsers can do to make the web pages dispalyed in a better way
19:51:05 [kawada]
mobile ok is a little bit old -- not for smart phones.
19:51:34 [Angel]
... a few years ago, the web pages were not displyed well on mobile devices, some browsers did something to improve the display on the mobile devices, e.g.UCweb
19:51:55 [Angel]
Ruinan: they transcode the webpage for mobile devices
19:52:17 [Angel]
HongLiu: do we need to standardize them?
19:52:42 [Angel]
RayD: should the burden be on HTML or on the browser?
19:53:59 [Angel]
Chunming: one of the approach is to ask the page developer to have the responsive design to think of the mobile device, another approach is to find some simple rules, e.g. JS libarary, and embed them to the page
19:54:23 [Angel]
...some of the browsers are doing the similar job so find the rules do to the transcode
19:54:32 [Angel]
...there is not a standard on this
19:55:24 [Angel]
HongLiu: for most app break when connection lose, do we have any solution or efforts on that from W3C?

19:57:52 [Angel]
Jeanne: yes, we do
19:58:04 [chunming]
the mobile web best practice
19:58:34 [Angel]
RayD: does it address the behavior of the browser or the authors?
19:58:42 [Angel]

19:59:17 [kawada]
The item 2 is I think being discussed as "Offline" in web & mobile IG. https://github.com/w3c-webmob/offline
19:59:34 [jeanne]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/uaag.php
19:59:46 [chunming]
i found a group note on offline web applications, http://dev.w3.org/html5/offline-webapps/
19:59:59 [chunming]
but i am not sure if what happened after that.
20:00:00 [Angel]
HongLiu: the best practices can also be shared with web app developers
20:00:28 [jeanne]
User AGent Accessibility Guidelines addresses accessibility of browsers
20:00:28 [Angel]
...some of the web apps do not work well when netword connection loses
20:02:14 [Angel]
HongLiu: we have different proforamces for wep apps and, since the OS is not open to the developers.
20:02:19 [wuwei]
is there a repository about online-webapps?
20:02:33 [Angel]
Jeff: we have some web and mobile activity in W3C
20:02:38 [chunming]
i know there's some W3C work on Web Cache, in which, the programmer will define which part of the web application could be cached, and which part should not. this should be the approach W3C has done to improve the offline experiences.
20:02:39 [Angel]
...web & Mobile IG
20:03:11 [Angel]
Jeff: it would be sensible to bring these to the IG
20:03:21 [Angel]
...to see if they have addressed that
20:03:28 [Angel]
...if not, maybe a CG to solve it?
20:04:34 [Angel]
Kawada: Natasha from GSMA wants people to work on TF on @@
20:05:10 [Angel]

W3C CR for application cache: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/browsers.html#appcache
20:05:29 [Angel]
...the reason we meet here is to try to find the work that can help them
20:05:39 [Angel]
...we do list some new issues here, e.g. mobile ads
20:06:19 [Angel]
...mobile ads can be a big market. but sometimes they can be annoying to the uers, due to the small screen or other facts
20:06:58 [Angel]
... Arnaud just proposed to have a preference on the browsers to avoid this king of annoying experience
20:07:25 [Angel]
... on PCs, we do have hover support, on mobile devices, we do not have that
20:07:47 [jeanne]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/indieui
20:08:25 [Angel]
Jeanne: the indie-Ui WG of W3C is working on that
20:08:53 [mdadas]
Web Mobile IG has a github https://github.com/w3c-webmob
20:10:41 [jeanne]
http://www.w3.org/TR/indie-ui-events/
20:10:45 [Angel]
ChunmingHu: indie_UI is trying to extract events and make the physical events linked to the screw events
20:11:16 [Angel]
Jeanne: pointer event might also relate to it
20:11:59 [Angel]
HongLiu: to sum up this session
20:12:27 [chunming]

20:13:24 [Angel]
... and found W3C have a IG called web&mobile IG
20:13:24 [chunming]

20:13:49 [Angel]
Jeanne: dont think it came from the IG but W3C staff
20:14:16 [Angel]
HongLiu: we try to describe the personal usage of mobile devices, e.g. the use of web app and web TV

20:14:50 [Angel]
...need to take a closer look of the work of this IG
20:15:01 [Angel]
...there are a few new topics we can contricbute to the IG
20:15:37 [Angel]

20:16:12 [chunming]
+1 to transcode on the old pages to adapt displaying pages on mobile devices
20:18:11 [Angel]

RayD: any certificaiton program?
20:19:22 [Angel]

...companies with products can use that
20:19:59 [Angel]
Muhammed: maybe mobile checker for webpages
20:20:45 [Angel]
...is it the overall rule of W3C to certify that?
20:21:16 [Angel]
