18:10:11 [MichaelC]
zakim, take up item 8
18:10:11 [Zakim]
agendum 8. "new styles and respec broken" taken up [from ShaneM]
18:10:49 [MichaelC]
yesterday new TR styles became official, and Respec updated
18:11:27 [MichaelC]
the updates are broken in Respec
18:12:43 [MichaelC]
some of the hooks we use appear not to be working
18:13:02 [MichaelC]
and fixup.js, required to be added to docs, seems to breaking things
18:13:06 [MichaelC]
Shane working with other Respec maintainers to fix this
18:14:30 [MichaelC]
there is a chance we´ll have to change our resolveReferences; if so Shane will do and alert everyone

agendum 2. "scroll-to-fragID issue https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/256" taken up [from MichaelC]
18:15:03 [MichaelC]
had a pull request, that was working until the respec rewrite broke it
18:15:09 [ShaneM]
q+ to comment
18:15:33 [ShaneM]
ack ShaneM
18:15:33 [Zakim]
ShaneM, you wanted to comment
18:15:42 [MichaelC]
but this only affects live docs, not the static ones
18:15:46 [MichaelC]
so ok to pull in change
18:16:36 [MichaelC]
RESOLUTION: accept Joseph´s pull request

agendum 3. "Error recovery procedures" taken up [from MichaelC]
18:17:32 [MichaelC]
https://xkcd.com/1597/
18:18:06 [MichaelC]
if something breaks for you, make sure to fix it before pushing to server
18:18:15 [MichaelC]
can ask for help from other editors
18:18:48 [MichaelC]
also it´s often easier to blow away the repo and try again with fresh clone

agendum 4. "Cleaning old branches, starting with merged branches in https://github.com/w3c/aria/branches/stale" taken up [from MichaelC]
18:20:12 [joanie]
q+ To ask about procedures in this regard
18:20:29 [MichaelC]
there are lots of old branches
18:20:39 [MichaelC]
some of which have been merged, so probably safe to remove
18:21:10 [MichaelC]
other stale branches haven´t been committed to in a while, should check if they can be removed
18:22:12 [MichaelC]
one question is when editor has merged a branch, should s/he clear the branch?
18:24:15 [MichaelC]
means editors need to be careful not to combine features / actions in a branch, because work in progress could get blown away
18:24:47 [MichaelC]
RESOLUTION: editor gets to clear branches after merging them into master - authors, expect this!
18:25:11 [MichaelC]
RESOLUTION: authors should use working branches for one item only. Create separate branches for separate actions.
18:26:28 [MichaelC]
everyone, check your own branches and remove if reasonable. later we´ll see if further cleanup needed

agendum 5. "Migrate to submodules at version change? https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules" taken up [from MichaelC]
18:28:32 [MichaelC]
this would allow us to track specs in separate repositories yet keep the shared elements together[
18:29:15 [MichaelC]
it would probably mean a repository per spec
18:29:29 [MichaelC]
plus a gathering repository that includes the others as sub-modules
18:30:12 [MichaelC]
would need to sort out how the common elements should be referenced
18:30:37 [MichaelC]
(Respec data-include does accept a URI)
18:31:49 [MichaelC]
can split the files with their histories, but there is a chunk of work on it
18:32:02 [MichaelC]
might replace the repository re-org action
