Zoltan: We have some ReSpec issues. Maybe we should update the source, following the best practices in https://github.com/w3c/web-nfc

Daniel: we should work on defining InteractionOptions

Zoltan: Currently at https://w3c.github.io/wot-scripting-api/#idl-def-interactionoptions
... We need to remove the markdown line from the doc header in the spec. Then it renders fine.

<dape> https://www.w3.org/TR/wot-scripting-api/#idl-def-interactionoptions

Daniel: the simplest is to extend with another optional field that provides an index to the preferred binding

Zoltan: should it be a single value or an Array?
... what is the policy, just a hint or if that index doesn't work then should it fail?

Daniel: the easiest would be to fail, since the script could choose another one, or remove the index hint

Zoltan: formIndex as name?

Daniel: sounds fine

Zoltan: so we agreed how to extend, in the name and what does it mean

Daniel: what about it being optional?

Zoltan: InteractionOptions is a dictionary all are optional at the moment

Daniel: ok, it should not be required

Error mapping

<zkis> https://github.com/w3c/wot-scripting-api/issues/200

Daniel: will prepare a proposal with Ege in the issue

Zoltan: about writeProperty return values we have already agreed. Zoltan takes the task to create PR.

https://github.com/w3c/wot-scripting-api/issues/201

Daniel: this is a breaking change in the API
... problem with scripts already running

Zoltan: what I planned to do at the moment was to return "any" from reads, but explain in more detail how to deal with Forms, content types and DataSchema

Daniel: in node-wot the "any" gets interpreted according to the media type.

Zoltan: the thing is that there are already solutions in the Web Platform and would be nice to use them here as well
... maybe we can create a new issue about it

https://github.com/w3c/wot-scripting-api/issues/193

Zoltan: having issue doing smart things instead of the scripts

Daniel: it should be the same as reading the property

Zoltan: when do we provide the value?

Daniel: we raised that in the TD spec

Zoltan: indeed we could handle it saying it's the same as a read done with the same bindings
... but there are issues
... not all devices will behave in the same way
