charles: we have sortable table with all values (thanks to Roy)
... you can sort by value and notice that there are duplicates that might cause problems. For example, add and ad under destination; also chat, email, help are duplicated
... that was the reason for putting together this table so we could find these duplicates and determine if they cause issues
... does anyone else have concerns with the duplicates?

Lisa: we do know that people confuse settings, this reinforces the problem with one attribute name that can take multiple values

Charles: happy that the duplicates are made more obvious and we will be able to keep in mind as we progress

Review of John’s https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/wiki/Prototypes-with-data-dash-*-(Take-2)

<CharlesL> https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/wiki/Prototypes-with-data-dash-*-(Take-2)

Charles: incorrect url above.
... first url is incorrect
... JF feels data-field is redundant because we are putting it on fields already; JF found that purpose was a better alternative; things that require text don’t lend themselves to being put into purpose; he proposes 4 additional attributes (see link for examples)
... we agree more work is needed on data-symbol

<LisaSeemanKestenbaum> https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/wiki/Protoypes-with-data-dash

Charles: follow link Lisa added above, then on right hand side find the link with title prototypes with data dash * (Take 2)

<LisaSeemanKestenbaum> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Howto/Use_data_attributes

Lisa: JF was concerned with the data- with two items was a micro syntax; If I search for data- I can find other examples that also use double dash strings

Charles: agree that it is not an issue; but there are no W3C examples that use double dash; I also don’t agree that the double dash is a micro syntax

<Thaddeus> data-attribute1-attribute2 is technically valid

Lisa; see it’s use in the wild so not to worried about it

I remember Leonie agreeing with it being a micro syntax

Lisa: Leonie didn’t necessarily agree it was a micro syntax

Charles: don’t see it as a big issue we can use camel case

Lisa: it is just a name, a micro syntax requires parsing; I think we can move ahead with that

charles: I think JF gave really good examples, what is wrong with this proposal?

Lisa: ... by saying data-alt-numberfree we are educating people that this is another type of alt text

I don’t like the long attribute names; we were told to try and limit to 1-3 only; I think it wil lmake more work for us later on to streamline them

Charles: currently there are folks that have concerns about adding alt
... Lisa’s proposal has multiple attributes as well, we don’t know which ones will be taken up by the larger community; if they are, we can go back to the browser vendors with evidence that they are needed
... I don’t think we can accomplish what we want without multiple attributes or without going to a micro syntax

<Thaddeus> +1

Lisa: concerned that by continuing to debate we are losing implementors; Can we put this out to survery, perfer, can live with; can’t live without; we need to move on

Becka11y: perhaps be need to limit our scope rather than trying to solve the entire problem at once in the first release

Charles: agree with the survey so we can vote on it an make progress

Becka11y: concerned that we are moving to fast; yes we have implementors but if they aren’t building to a workable model we could be hurting ourselves

Lisa: think we should take a vote/survey and get moving and require at least 2 people or consensu to re-open issues

Charles: Lisa, can you create the survey?

Lisa: would be better if Charles got it started

Charles: would like Janina or Michael to weigh in on the issue of a consensus before re-opening issues

Becka11y: concerned with requiring a change in process; people miss meetings and should be able to bring things back up as long as they are in good standing

Charles: yes, we can have consensus on the call but that doesn’t include the entire group and perhaps differing opinions
... will have survey for the different proposals using data dash so people can start working on implementations;
... will discuss changing the process for re-opening issues at the next planning call

https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/wiki/Ideas-for-hackathons May 15 & 16. Project ideas

charles: Thanks to team members about working on proposals for hackathons

thaddeus: Not to much to say, am trying to see if I can put something together locally to work on hackathon ideas; also have developers that have worked with Lisa who might be able to participate

Charles: would be great if they could work in person at the hackathon
... would be good to call out any specific ideas within the wiki page that Lisa created
... this is a joint hackathon - partner is more focused on employment so will focus on Jypiter notebooks; entire focus is not for personalization so we need to bring project ideas; I will pitch those ideas to the community

Field vs. Purpose

Charles: Lisa had concerns about developers using the wrong values for attributes

Lisa: JF wanted to replace the word field with purpose;
... we wanted purpose to replace all 3 when we were merging action, field, and destination into one; Just changing it to action, purpose, and destination doesn’t really make sense? I didn’t think that is what he was proposing

Charles: think this is difficult to discuss without JF and Janina present
... on button JF has data-action but couldn’t that also be purpose? Need more people on the call to disuss merging the attributes

Lisa; I’m not sure we understand the proposals

Charles: we can at least focus on easylang and numberfree

Lisa: just concerned that we are delaying implementations and will have to rehash this again and again

Charles: if we are using github for hackathon we will have the ability to do find and replace if we replace/change the attribute names

Lisa: there are still issues with symbols

Charles: we need more discussion of symbols

Lisa: we will put other attributes (numberfree, etc) to survey and also include the purpose, field, action, destination in the survey as well and leave the survey open for 3 weeks to give people time to respond

Charles: two surveys - one for attributes and another for symbols

Lisa: give people 3 weeks to make their arguments and then we need to move forward

Charles: so need to ask if destination and action should be separate or merged into purpose; vote field vs purpose; and also the use of alt- within the attribute name

<CharlesL> trackbot, end meeting
