* Terminology

McCool: next thing
... Matthias

Matthias: started definitions
... worked on the arch document
... recent discussion for affordance revised
... would confirm some addition needed
... fundamental concept missing
... not Web of pages using links
... but have not got much response
... not sure how to deal with this issue
... this redefinition need fundamental update
... wondering about the group's opinions
... the fundamental scope of WoT to go
... really critical, I think

McCool: we need to take it in account

Matthias: kind of concern our discussions are not really reflected yet
... after today's chairs call, made some proposal
... don't want to dictate the situation but would like to build consensus
... what are the fundamental corner points

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-architecture/pull/92

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/282#issuecomment-466488572

Matthias: tf-crossing discussion there

McCool: people, please look at it
... we should be aware of all our discussions

Matthias: maybe some confusion here

<mlagally> my audio apparently is not working - We will talk about it in tomorrow's architecture call

Matthias: can make the first half hour for the arch discussion tomorrow
... should invite Victor too
... corner stone discussions
... we have a problem

McCool: what happened here
... used older reference
... should try to synthesize updated definition
... maybe somebody could pull up the old definition and put that to the issue 282?
... we can carry out the discussion

Matthias: overall, we have many places...

Lagally: had topics from the arch call last week
... pretty aware we need discussion
... great to have Matthias and Victor

McCool: ok
... I'll also join it

Matthias: my concern includes that just a few people lead the discussion
... we need consensus
... now we have less time
... not blaming anybody

Koster: can also look into it
... also try to join the architecture call

Kaz: sorry but can't make the arch call tomorrow

McCool: ok

TAG review

McCool: next
... TAG review
... need explainer documents
... created a template for TD as well
... need to create draft text
... Friday for the first draft
... need explainer docs for TD and Arch
... make sure that happens
... overall schedule for CR transition
... end of March
... TAG review procedure starts on Monday
... need to make sure we won't change the specs and finalize them
... need to pick a date for finalizing them
... explains the status of TD implementation report
... some of new features there
... some of silly things
... forgot to add actions
... this is to be checked in and merged
... all "0" fields mean "not implemented yet"
... now the highlighting in the TD draft works
... btw, lagally, do you have any ideas on normative assertions from the arch doc?

Lagally: don't think so, but need to check

Kaz: as I mentioned last week, we need to think about other wide reviews as well
... we should clarify candidate groups based on the Charter and the updated situation
... e.g., i18n, a12y, json-ld
... we can mention the fact that we already talked about several points
... and ask them for review from additional viewpoints
... and regarding security, we can ask TAG to check the specs from security viewpoint

McCool: we should put all the related info together
... would make sense to put that on the wiki?

Kaz: sure

McCool: adds "Review" section to the group wiki
... TAG, i18n, a12y, json-ld
... and security
... should clarify who to contact them when

Kaz: what about DAS?

McCool: was mainly about scripting api

Zoltan: already talked with them
... e.g., about updated proposal for api definition

Kaz: in that case, maybe wot chair(s) can send an email to their chair(s) and ask if there is anything else remaining

McCool: ok
... adds some more information about the current status
... who to contact i18n and a12y?

Kaz: if you want, I can continue to talk with them

McCool: comments about reviews?
... adds some more items on schedule for preparation
... march 8: explainers
... march 11: chairs edits
... march 12: submit to TAG
... end of march: CR transition
... we want to have a frozen version
... for the reviews
... anything else?

TF reports

Architecture

McCool: arch?

Lagally: we had a call last week
... now 2-hour discussion
... various PRs
... fixing links, etc.
... also proposing new diagrams
... went to pretty long discussion about overview
... also PR for that

McCool: will provide comments by tomorrow

Lagally: no need for significant new content
... mainly clean-up and clarification
... 5 PRs and 22 Issues now
... some require significant inputs
... please look into them

TD

McCool: next TD

Taki: discussed JSON-LD issue
... on the JSON-LD repo

https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-api/issues/65

Taki: Kaz is asking them about when to have joint discussion
... meanwhile, we have our own schedule
... in parallel to the discussion with JSON-LD WG
... one thing is serialization section
... not compatible with the JSON-LD 1.1 spec
... also suggested the section on "transformation to JSON-LD" to be removed (to become a separate doc)

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/405

Taki: we'll continue discussion on Friday
... will work on the issues

<McCool> https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/343

McCool: we had a link for explainer example (above)

Taki: ok

<McCool> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2018OctDec/0024.html

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/transitions/issues/106

Kaz: given the current situation, we should ask the TAG for review based on the current draft
... with clear description on our issue within the explainer doc
... so vc result would be interesting

Binding

McCool: next
... binding?
... some issue ongoing?

Koster: Matthias made some contribution
... would like to work on that

Lagally: would suggest Koster to look at the text within the architecture document
... and give comments if needed

Koster: ok

Scripting

McCool: scripting?

Zoltan: discussion with Daniel
... how to close the API version
... let browser vendors join later
... we don't expect browser implementations at the moment
... interesting to see browser implementations as well, though
... similar issue on discovery like DAS discussion
... we could have convenience function maybe
... have written report from the last meeting
... Daniel is investigating implementation costs

McCool: ok

Security

McCool: next security
... working on best practices doc
... also penetration testing
... busy to finalize TD
