McCool: reviewing past minutes
... discussing testfest from Dec 10.
... security testing should be discussed
... any comments on the past minutes?

past minutes approved

McCool: discussing past minutes from Nov. 19
... approved

publication status

Kaz: still pending; some checker issues still
... but will publish today

McCool: for each publication we need separate repo?

Kaz: yes (Echidna policy)
... separate documents such as Best practices will need a separate repo, not only separate directory
... different versions of the same document are in separate directories

McCool: short update on TD implementation report
... added security section

<McCool> https://github.com/mmccool/wot-thing-description/tree/updated-test-results/testing

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/pull/314

Possible new group notes

McCool: new documents are Security Best Practices and Security Test Plan
... the question is how to publish them as Notes

Kaz: group Notes would be nice

McCool: considering to have them as IG Notes, not WG Notes

Kaz: not big difference between a WG Note and an IG Note. (the question is rather that the current WG Charter mentions the security testing instead of the current IG Charter.)

McCool: if WG charter not renewed, the IG would still host it
... would like to maintain the documents for a longer term
... other opinions?
... we will need separate repositories anyway; we can decide later

PR 63 on wot-architecture

https://github.com/w3c/wot-architecture/pull/63

ER: walking through the PR (is part of the Scripting PR)
... someone needs to check it against the terms used in WoT Architecture doc

McCool: added reference to Security doc; perhaps update the date

Zoltan: what about removing the date, it's the latest anyway

McCool: also check the reference in the other docs: TD and Scripting
... checking references of Security doc in the other specs

<kaz> scribenick: kaz

McCool: will check the TD document and fix it

Elena: will fix the Scripting API document

McCool: will fix both the references to the wot-security and wot-bestpractices from the TD draft

PR 63 for the WoT Architecture

PR 63 for WoT Architecture

McCool: will poke Matthias during the Chairs call

Zoltan: also made some comments

Zoltan's comments

McCool: will poke Matthias and Matsukura-san
... and Kajimoto-san

Kaz: Matsukura-san and Kawaguchi-san had started to work on this
... so they also should add their names to the Editors list

AOB

Elena: wondering what to do for the next week given there will be the TestFest

McCool: people will have implementations to be tested
... testfest for arbitrary testing
... we'll gain experience for our actual testfest in January

Elena: VPN setting would take long...

McCool: trying to back up my previous setting
... can give you access to my repo
... would like to improve the setup so that you can use it easier
... another option might be "node-wot"
... you can go to eclipse/thingweb.node-wot/examples/scripts
... it's open source and you can copy them
... would suggest you use a Linux systm with Python, etc.
... we can discuss the setting on Wednesday

Elena: I have a Linux machine :)

Remaining issues

McCool: we still have 26 remaining issues...

WoT Security issues

issue 102

McCool: adds comments
... on the idea of publishing the Security Best Practices document as a group Note

issue 121

McCool: helpful to have some use cases when we need to modify the default CORS behavor.
... updates the "Actions" section on the WoT wiki
... 1. update references to WoT Security and Privacy Considerations (McCool for TD; Elena for Architecture; Zoltan for Scripting)
... 2. decide whether or not to publish the best practices and security testing as Notes (McCool to ask group and Chairs)
