17:09:37 tzviya: Hadrien, did you have a comment? 17:10:02 present+ Ralph_Swick 17:11:01 q? 17:11:08 tzviya: if we choose to bring 3.2 into the wg, or if we choose not to work on some things in our charter than we need to recharter 17:11:16 ... we need to discuss what to include 17:11:33 ... the charter will be written by the chairs, ivan, the pub champion, with input with the SC, etc 17:11:43 ... the SC did have some discussions about this on Friday 17:11:54 ... it looks likely that we will bring EPUB 3.2 into the working group 17:12:04 ... for now, we'll focus on the other side of this 17:12:23 ... let's assume, for the moment, that the BG decides that EPUB should move into the WG. what will that mean for us? 17:12:35 ... right now we're working on WPUB 17:12:43 ... it's a large doc which encompasses a lot 17:13:04 ... perhaps we can make a slimmer document which just addresses the manifest, and movign the affordances section elsewhere 17:13:17 ... we could talk about a minimum viable web publication 17:13:22 s/movign/moving/ 17:13:26 ... we could move affordances into the use case document 17:13:35 ... we could create modules, with audio books as the first 17:13:45 ... and then comics, scholarly... 17:13:54 ... we need to figure out what modules would mean in this context 17:14:03 ... we start with audio because we have a business case 17:14:19 ... these are the real-world scenarios which use a manifest 17:14:31 ... then audiobooks and manifest become rec-track documents 17:14:41 ... and we have to decide about EPUB 4 17:14:48 ... we can't talk about packaging yet 17:15:01 Q+ 17:15:02 ... we would like to hear your thoughts; we don't have a timeline for this 17:15:02 q+ 17:15:05 ack EvanOwens 17:15:14 EvanOwens: what does this mean for the thursday calls? 17:15:15 q+ 17:15:26 ... is that group dissolving or merging? 17:16:02 ivan: first of all, we have to realize that the chartering takes several months 17:16:16 ... in the meantime the CG should go ahead and work out the details of testing 17:16:23 +1 17:16:44 ... which is a lot of work 17:16:50 q+ 17:17:15 gpellegrino has joined #pwg 17:17:19 ... if the rechartering happens, then indeed the work of the ... 17:17:20 present+ 17:17:39 ... the work of the CG becomes part of the working group 17:17:44 q+ 17:17:48 ... perhaps the CG becomes dormant for a while 17:17:56 ... it's up to us how we organize our meetings 17:18:01 Q? 17:18:15 ... the WG will have two major tasks, so we might have two calls. We will have to discuss later. 17:18:26 .. what the fate of the CG is years from now, it's too early to say 17:18:39 tzviya: CGs often do maintenence in w3c 17:18:42 ack laurentlemeur 17:18:47 ack ivan 17:18:51 laurentlemeur: you talked about packaging and EPUB 4 17:18:59 q+ 17:19:09 ... if we stay on audiobook module, there's an idea that we don't need to wait for webpackaging 17:19:20 ... we know there will be many issues with DRM with this format 17:19:32 ... we are discussing an alternative OCF-lite based on zip 17:19:45 ... which would fulfill the needs of the publishing industry today 17:19:49 ack George 17:19:58 George: going back to the CG activities 17:20:09 q- 17:20:14 ... there's a lot of work that can be done in starting to design testing 17:20:22 ... we have best practices that need to be developed 17:20:23 q+ 17:20:42 ... and having a CG for anyone to go to for support is important 17:20:47 +1 17:20:49 +1 to George 17:20:57 ... having that CG active and strong even while the WG is working is important 17:21:00 q? 17:21:03 ack Avneesh 17:21:07 Bill_Kasdorf has joined #pwg 17:21:12 present+ 17:21:16 Avneesh: starting from EPUB 3.2, I was going through the email thread 17:21:21 Sorry to be late--previous meeting went long 17:21:30 present+ Bill_Kasdorf 17:21:39 ... I would say that we decide at the end of November 17:21:40 s/Sorry to be late--previous meeting went long// 17:21:56 ... the benefit is not so much the rec track as the testing, the process 17:22:03 ... the discussion will happen in the BG 17:22:05 +1 17:22:36 q+ 17:22:36 ... on the WP side, you said right now that WP is not usable for you right now. What's the missing piece? How could it be made useful for scholarly publishing? 17:22:37 timCole has joined #pwg 17:22:49 ... after that we can make a more informed decision about rechartering 17:22:52 ack laudrain 17:22:58 q? 17:23:06 q+ 17:23:20 laudrain: to add some information, in BG we see that EPUB 4 would disturb the messaging around EPUB 3.X 17:23:29 ... we should "icebox" EPUB 4 :) 17:23:41 ... "put epub 4 in the freezer" is how Avneesh put it 17:23:57 ... the idea is to concentrate on promoting EPUB 3.2, pushing epubcheck 17:24:07 ... the CG has a lot to do that will benefit the whole community 17:24:22 q+ 17:24:28 ack romain 17:24:30 ... the CG can work as we discuss rechartering 17:24:39 romain: there are two CGs, and then a third 17:25:09 ack ivan 17:25:13 ... there's the publishing community group for incubation, which should be taken into account 17:25:18 https://www.w3.org/community/publishingcg/ 17:25:36 ivan: romains comment... the problem I see is that when we define a charter, we need to clearly define deliverables, due to patents etc 17:26:04 ... we can't say that if a CG might produce somehting in a future 17:26:16 romain: some WGs say that things can be added to a charter 17:26:33 ivan: we can try to do that. Web Platform is an unusual situation. 17:26:35 s/somehting/something/ 17:26:41 ... I agree with the intention 17:26:51 ... back to something Avneesh said, about the value of REC track 17:26:56 ... there are two more issue 17:27:19 ... this community has not yet hit the issue... the rec track provides patent protection which CG doesn't 17:27:45 ... the other thing is that this whole discussion was influenced by the idea of an ISO version of EPUB 17:27:49 q+ 17:27:53 ... if we go REC track than ISO is easier 17:28:11 ... if we do it via W3c then we ensure that the ISO version is free of charge 17:28:15 +1 to Ivan 17:28:23 ... getting an official ISO document can be very expensive 17:28:47 ... another thing that is important, when it comes to chartering , the next step is that it has to be voted on by w3c members 17:29:03 ... this community will need to vote for the charter in large numbers 17:29:16 ... we are adding work to the group. you need to plan for that. 17:29:27 ack ivan 17:29:29 scribenick: Rachel 17:29:29 ... if we don't have enough votes and enough participation this whole thing won't happen 17:29:32 ack tzviya 17:29:35 tzviya: I'll add to what Ivan said 17:29:42 ... I do a lot of work with the AC now 17:30:00 ... there are a lot of people who might object to the new charter, unless we can show how it helps the web 17:30:19 q+ 17:30:22 tzviya: what makes this better in the big picture of the W3C 17:30:22 scribenick: Rachel 17:30:40 ...it looks like we're moving backwards to someone not involved in this group 17:31:21 Q+ 17:31:26 ... we have to do a lot of careful wording and campaigning to make sure people understand the audiobook work etc so that they understand we're not just tacking w3c branding onto old work 17:31:52 ack Avneesh 17:32:00 ...we don't have to say we're continuously incubating but we can say proposals come up from the incubating CG 17:32:19 avneesh: last time we were suppoorted by a lot of tpi memebers 17:32:34 ... I don't know that state of the TPI memberships going forward 17:32:41 s/suppoorted/supported/ 17:33:18 q? 17:33:28 ack bigbluehat 17:33:33 https://w3c.github.io/publ-epub-revision/epub32/spec/epub-contentdocs.html#sec-overview-relations-html 17:34:28 ack EvanOwens 17:34:32 bigbluehat: it's important to note edges embedded reader and we've moved epub to supporting new web technologies (HTML5 and new versions of CSS) which will help make our case to the W3C 17:35:00 Going to ISO through W3C PAS is not a strong case for EPUB 3.2 going to rec track. EPUB 3 was submitted through Korean govt. fast track and we are doing the same for EPUB 3.0.1 17:35:32 EvanOwens: my question was motivated by the TPI issue - but the W3C is telling us that we have to be a W3C memeber or a Business group member but if we are a business group member I'm not sure if we can participate in the working group. 17:35:34 So, there are other easy processes even if we do not go thrugh W3C PAS. 17:36:05 q? 17:36:11 We need to make EPUB 3.2 popular so that it becomes national standard in Korea or some other country that has fast track to ISO 17:36:24 q+ 17:36:28 ack ivan 17:37:00 Ivan: I wanted to clarify that one of the mst important next steps is to see what the PBG says about this 17:37:17 s/mst/most/ 17:37:23 ...we want to see if the PBG has any fundamental objections to the plan for 3.2 17:38:27 q+ 17:38:30 ...the 3 co-chairs, myself, ralph, and Karen will work together on drafting the charter in github where you should contribute. Then we will go into a pre-voting review process for updating and then the eventual formal voote. 17:38:31 ack dauwhe 17:38:33 ack dauwhe 17:38:56 dauwhe: before we start writing the charter I think it would be worthwhile to gain support from the larger web community 17:39:00 +1 dauwhe 17:39:08 ...especially if we are talking about the manifest as a deliverable 17:39:17 ...I'd like to get the TAG on board 17:39:34 ...we're making a fundamental decision as to how something should work on the web 17:39:38 q+ 17:39:42 ...this is a necessary step to getting buy in 17:39:43 ack bigbluehat 17:39:50 +100 dauwhe 17:39:58 bigbluehat: there was talk about using CGs for some of this 17:41:02 ... how much of this should we consider proving the things in web publications and then go to the TAG with implementations rather than going to the TAG with the idea before the implementation 17:41:13 +1 bigbluehat 17:41:14 ...is this a good idea? Or do we need the buy in first? 17:41:41 q? 17:41:58 q+ 17:42:00 tzviya: we did gt feedback from the TAG last year. They have a template for explainers that we should use to ask for more. 17:42:10 s/gt/get/ 17:42:13 ...I do talk to the TAG somewhat regularly 17:42:23 q? 17:42:28 ack dauwhe 17:42:28 ack dauwhe 17:42:31 ...they want to help us - we should use they're template to start outreach 17:42:47 dauwhe: we should do a manifest explainer and an audio explainer next 17:42:55 ...instead of diving into spec text 17:43:15 topic: Use Cases 17:43:28 TAG's "what is an explainer?" page: https://w3ctag.github.io/explainers 17:43:34 franco: I added some uses cases and queries within the pull requests 17:43:56 ...most recently I added cross references referring to different MUST cases in the WP spec 17:44:11 ...5 requirements had no associated MUST statements 17:44:16 ...that's a broad overview 17:44:17 q+ 17:45:13 ...there's a requirement for uniquely identifying a WP 17:45:47 ...this says that the URL must be the same within the web publication but it's unclear as to whether you should be able to navigate to other HTML pages 17:46:19 ...this is requirement 8 17:46:20 use cases https://w3c.github.io/dpub-pwp-ucr/ 17:46:22 q? 17:46:55 I would assume that multiple HTML pages could all be part of a given WP--that's what needs to be identified 17:46:57 ack ivan 17:47:25 tzviya: req 7 has no correlation to the WP spec? 17:48:12 ivan: I am surprised there are only 5. We have to be careful in stating the MUSTs. If you read the text, it's clear that the resources we have, there can be anything. 17:48:53 q+ 17:48:55 ...so we need to be more flexible. There may not be a must, but it is adequately represented. 17:49:08 q- 17:49:16 q+ 17:49:22 ack ivan 17:50:36 ivan: our biggest problem is that the affordances document is very vague. The question we have to answer is how we combine and categorize use cases and affordances 17:50:54 what I'm hearing is that every MUST should have a use case but not every use case needs a specific MUST 17:51:16 ... this also goes to the question of tiering. What is the minimum tier etc? 17:52:30 tzviya: we could create a needs map - like an audio books needs map - that allows us to identify how we're addressing needs within specific business areas 17:52:48 ...this also goes for trade fiction, comic books, etc 17:52:57 I like the needs maps idea 17:53:03 +1 17:53:06 +1 17:53:08 +1 17:53:10 +1 17:53:36 * Bill_Kasdorf oops! 17:53:46 tzviya: Can anyone help Josh and Franco put this together? 17:53:54 s/* Bill_Kasdorf oops!/ / 17:54:28 q+ 17:55:15 josh: I don't care how we organize these. I'm ambivalent. Some of the use cases need requirements added. 17:55:34 ...there are some absent requirements like navigating to the TOC 17:55:45 ...first and foremost is the recharter 17:56:07 ...I was dispirited by the Lyon conversation 17:56:44 ack ivan 17:56:46 q? 17:56:52 tzviya: please don't stop! the recharter will take months 17:57:03 ivan: the WP work will continue 17:57:14 ...it just becomes more focused on certain communities 17:57:35 ...what I am looking for based on the use cases is to give a clear set of things that we expect UAs to do 17:57:57 ...I haven't seen a needs map beforre 17:58:10 ...I need to be convinced this is the best way to do that 17:58:13 s/beforre/before/ 17:58:50 ...these are the things we need to come back to the web community with 17:59:34 ...I am a little bit concerned that the needs maps will not make it clear what needs to be done 17:59:40 q+ 18:00:02 scribenick: dauwhe 18:00:13 tzviya: it's the end of the hour, we're going over time 18:00:17 ack josh 18:00:33 josh: tying it back to what Benjamin said focusing on implementations 18:00:55 ... this list of what people need to do is easier to create if we have implementations 18:01:01 tzviya: but we don't have that right now 18:01:03 evan has joined #pwg 18:01:07 ... let's focus on refining the concepts 18:01:10 ivan: it's a tricky issue 18:01:16 ... we have a discussion for next week 18:01:22 tzviya: thanks everyone 18:01:22 BenWaltersMS has left #pwg 18:01:27 cmaden2 has left #pwg 18:01:46 rrsagent, draft minutes 18:01:46 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2018/11/05-pwg-minutes.html ivan 18:01:46 zakim, bye 18:01:46 rrsagent, bye 18:01:46 I see no action items 18:01:46 leaving.
