We have Yves here - invited by Ivan - the primary thing we want to discuss isn't the exact specification, but the primary purpose is to understand where the spec is at, within the web-apps working group - and what the future is. And how the Pub group can get involved." 15:10:32 Ivan: "Plus anything that Yves may want to discuss with us. Maybe - Yves - it would be good to explain your role." 15:11:43 Yves: "I'm mostly working on updating the document and doing face-to-face meetings to get the document ready. The packaging format started as a way of identifying - with the URL - a way to identify packaging. It then derailed to some use-case as to why there was a need for a package format or document. One of the main driver was the need for ?JSP? libraries." 15:12:07 ...: "Using service workers... It is kind of a portable cache format. Without the need of a configuration." 15:13:05 ...: "we wanted to actually know if the work we've done will be actually useful to our people. We started to gather input from other people, and we got some security input, signatures - part of the document from inside the package - and of course it would be good for us as we know this IG would be interested in this type of packaging." 15:13:26 +??P25 15:13:31 ...: "If out approach was good for you, what would we need to make better... The current point is trying to figure out who would be the perfect customer of the specification." 15:13:44 zakim, ??P25 is me 15:13:44 +tmichel; got it 15:14:01 Markus: "So is it safe to say you have no use cases from DPUB?" 15:14:02 q+ 15:14:13 Yves: "No use-cases from DPUB." 15:15:17 multi-part MIME from digital publishing: https://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/File:OEBFF_draft.pdf 15:15:24 Markus: "Currently many DPUB are using epub, which is based on ZIP. EPUB considered multi-part MIME, the old (original) spec is still available, if you'd like to look at it. Was created by/for digital publishing. Was watered down later. Certainly historical proof that multi-part MIME has validity for publishing." 15:15:49 Markus: "One question - is it not too late for use cases at this point, or is there a possibility of large changes?" 15:16:22 q+ 15:17:29 Yves: "Certainly not too late. Some browser vendors are interested, but waiting for things to stabalize before they implement. Perfectly OK to request things now. Now is a good time. Also, when considering multi-part MIME, there was an issue with servers needing to sending out delimiter - there was an issue for one of the use-cases with stringing. -- being able to process stringable without 15:17:29 requiring all the documents in the first place. Don't want to know in advance what the perfect delimiter is in advanced." 15:18:04 ack ivan 15:18:13 ack brady_duga 15:18:16 q+ 15:19:12 q+ 15:19:28 Brady: "Re: generating use-cases. My problem is we have an existing solution - literally millions of epubs, publisher tool-chains, pipelines, huge collection of tools/workflows. From my perspective, it feels like we should be understanding why we should even consider this. If it doesn't have significant benefit over existing solution, not sure why it would be considered." 15:19:46 Brady: "Existing solution may have flaws, but need to better understand the new package first." 15:19:51 ack ivan 15:20:35 Ivan: "Are the discussions that lead to using the ZIP format -- archives -- might be of interest to see the arguments against multi-part MIME. Some of the arguments may be interesting to the working group." 15:21:42 Brady: "We used to have an archive, may not be official. We might be able to dig it up. Personally, I think ZIP was not the best decision, and multi-part MIME was the right decision. I would support multi-part MIME today. Problem is, we already have a solution, and have invested heavily in it, and not sure it makes sense to throw away all that work." 15:21:51 q+ 15:22:13 -pkra 15:22:32 Ivan: "If the decision of the derivative already taken, or can the package be revisited? Especially if the use-cases for epub/ebooks exists" 15:23:41 Yves: "Zip is an issue when you take streamability into account. The fact that DPUB gets another format as well as this one is not an issue. Publishers would have to make a decisions as to what format they would want to use. Is what we have good enough as a starting point. If you are using something else that has breadcrumbs that people know well... " 15:24:31 Ivan: "The reason why we are looking at it in the first place, we - in the long term - epub and documents on the web - will be much closer than they are today. Browsers would implement the packaging format that the web-application working group is proposing. I doubt browsers are willing to implement both of them." 15:24:55 ?Yves: "Native browsers support for streamability is why we're looking at it.." 15:25:11 Brady: "Not sure ZIP isn't streamable. If you allow for deletions/changes..." 15:25:32 s/?Yves/Markus/ 15:25:45 Yves: "Not 100% sure the arguments about ZIP and streamable. I'll bring it back up with the discussions." 15:26:03 Yves: "There is a need to have a catalog of what's inside..." 15:26:36 https://github.com/w3ctag/packaging-on-the-web/issues/14 15:26:44 q+ 15:26:48 Brady: "Catalog only necessary if there are insertions/deletions. You should be able to reconstruct (stream the ZIP based on local header. Could be some other reason, but it seems that ZIP is streamable if you impose restrictions. Arbitrary ZIP, no. Additional requirements, yes." 15:27:19 q? 15:27:23 Markus: "Would be good to have a definitive answer about the streamability of ZIP." 15:27:49 Ivan: "It's the interest group's job to determine if the ZIP format can be used for streamability and the needs of the package group." 15:28:29 ...: "When you talk about use cases - Yves - it would be good to know how deeply you go. A number of very high-level use cases exist in a white-paper, but they are probably too high-level." 15:30:26 Yves: "When the use-case is there, it lets us know of the issues around consuming the package. If there are items that are missing from existing applications, based on the choices made for the format, we need to know. Security use cases, means we have a need to decide/define on those protocols. Basically - what is missing at the technical level. It's mostly your group that can say 'there is 15:30:26 something missing there'"" 15:30:34 Ivan: "You want us to add issues to the GitHub?" 15:30:46 Yves: "GitHub or e-mail to the packaging mailing list are both acceptable" 15:31:01 ack dauwhe 15:31:26 -pbelfanti 15:31:46 apologies, I need to drop... 15:31:53 ???: "Epub can be a pain - especially because the MIMETYPE cannot be compressed, and people need to google it, etc..." 15:31:53 -david_stroup 15:32:04 +1 15:32:06 s/???/dauwhe/ 15:32:19 Brady: "If you look at the packaging spec, there are 3 reasons - it's streamable, tools for ZIP suck, and metadata." 15:33:01 Brady: "If you think it's hard to make a zip, imagine how hard it is to make some new package that doesn't have tools. But, I can put a bunch of headers in." 15:33:24 Brady: "Looking at the discussion was 'sure, you can stream a zip, but look at all this metadata'" 15:33:35 +1 dauwhe 15:34:06 Dauwhe: "If we can figure out a way to do things in a specific way, ZIP would do what we need." 15:34:23 q? 15:34:28 ack HeatherF 15:34:54 https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/arcmedia/charter/ 15:35:11 Heather: "This is a small aside - IDPF is working on a top-level media-type for archiving. They are looking at the W3C's work on packaging. It is work just started. Charter is linked in IRC." 15:35:30 Heather: "Input on the work is welcomed." 15:35:31 s/IDPF/IETF/ 15:36:33 Yves: "The fact that there is a need for a ZIP with a mimetype has been a need for many years. Lots of mess on the web because of that. The fact that we are creating an archive is good input for them as well." 15:36:45 ack tzviya 15:37:37 Tzviya: "Great workflow in place for epubs, but as epub becomes more complicated and other publications are searching for a good format, some publishers are looking for a good - or better - way to publish online. This new package format would be good for those publisher and they may be interested in this new format." 15:38:39 q? 15:38:43 Tzviya: "Concern is also how readers are going to handle this specific format. Phones right now don't well handle a ZIP file or an EPUB." 15:38:43 q? 15:38:45 q+ 15:39:20 Ivan: "How does the next 6-12 months look?" 15:40:08 Yves: "No fixed plan yet, so we'll have to do some review/discussion. Pretty sure that in the next 6 months, not much will get done with respect to decisions that will render the spec final." 15:40:23 ack ivan 15:40:32 Yves: "Probably have some new discussions in mid-april. Slow progress of the specification." 15:40:51 Ivan: "Are there plans to extend the specification with an API specification as well?" 15:41:43 Yves: "Not currently, but it is something that might be done. There might be some interaction with a service worker, as a way to deal with caching. But currenlty that is the only specification that we got in terms of using an API. No API to manipulate directly the package or contents of the package. If there is a use-case/need, then why not?" 15:42:45 Ivan: "1) Streamability of ZIP - definitive answer. 2) Produce use-cases for packaging and feed those to the group." 15:43:16 I found this Patent from Google on Streamable zip filed last year, http://www.google.com/patents/WO2014113715A1?cl=en 15:43:28 ...: "If we get the volunteers to do this work, doesn't mean that publishers shouldn't use ZIP. Just researching having multi-part MIME as an option for the future. Distinction between doing the work and deciding that it will actually be used." 15:44:40 Thank you Yves! 15:44:41 Ivan: "One practical comment: Yves, Until decisions are made, is it OK if you come to this call regularly to keep us up-to-date?" 15:45:01 Yves: "I can talk to you and keep you updated that you can keep them updated, and I'll join if something to say." 15:45:24 -Yves 15:45:44 Topic: accessibility tf 15:45:46 Yves has left #dpub 15:47:00 Charles: "I sent off an e-mail this morning to a few people - summary of the accessibility taskforce accomplishments.

Just a small subset of assets were helping out. We're definintely in need of additional resources. If anyone is interested in creating this note, we need as much help as we can get." 15:51:27 and, what is your timeline for publishing a note? who is the audience? 15:52:24 Charles: "The audience is publishers. Timeline... Ideally by the end of this year. My availability just got cut in half so I'm running low on time myself. Deborah is as well. We would need more help." 15:53:32 Deborah: "What we've been doing is modeling alot of work. The other group had a lot of volunteers to data-gather. They had alot more regular/steady input from a regular weekly commitment. Chairs also did an enormous amount of work.

Need to also remove some ambiguity from the terms/defintions and make sure things have context outside of digital publishing as well." 15:57:59 Markus: "One of the first challenges is to determine the scope of publishing and the defintions of the terms.
