Review updates to the explainer - https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/pull/181

Sharon: Notes this is the PR ...

Sharon: Asks about the various expected edits, what remains?

JF: Believe only remaining is bold/italic vs strong/emphasis

http://www.w3.org/respec/

CharlesL: Notes preference in W3C for strong/emphasis

johnNotes CSS styling is still available

JF: The semantic includes visual, but can be styled

CharlesL: Notes screen reader settings used by some users

Sharon: Will look at PR for any gotchyas and approve or inform the list

JF: Notes also more recent updates? Are those included?

<Matthew_Atkinson> For reference, the date was the 13th of this month.

i18n issue #144 (waiting for a response back) - https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues/144

Sharon: Notes this is dangling for i18n

Sharon: No response?

becky: looks at history

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to say we've waited lon genough

janina: Suggests misunderstanding not cleared via github, we should ask for mtg as needed to clear

jf: Agrees we should move on

janina: Will ping addison

Open Content module 1 issues https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%221%29+content+module%22

Sharon: Seems destination/action/purpose -- are we good?

Sharon: Where to start?

Sharon: Are we still looking at possibly combining these?

janina: My recollection is we didn't actually decide

CharlesL: Have update on issue 128

CharlesL: Tried to reach out, but email bounced

Sharon: Close?

CharlesL: Yes, but will add comment. Perhaps the github handle may get action?

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to propose a path forward

jf: Believe right question posed. We need to make decision on the 3 attributes vs one

Sharon: OK, Charles will ping via github and close

jf: Notes 3 attribs proposed for some time; combining coming awfuly late

jf: Concerned with the rewrite job

Matthew_Atkinson: Suggest we might want to look at some other items and delay this one ...

Matthew_Atkinson: Not adverse to delaying this one while we mull it

Matthew_Atkinson: We do have other discrete items, and we've made progress on some

Matthew_Atkinson: We're not quite done with conflict resolution

Matthew_Atkinson: Some of these others may be easier to resolve

Sharon: Link?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Latest question on-list: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-personalization-tf/2021May/0009.html

Matthew_Atkinson: Suggests various distinctions ...

Matthew_Atkinson: expectation of link vs button, etc

Matthew_Atkinson: Believe it's simpler to allow help to be either link or button

Matthew_Atkinson: some destinations might be actions

Matthew_Atkinson: the notion "opens inpage dialog" seems reasonable, but could be more than, might be several

jf: Agree we could shorten ....

jf: point is what serves target audience best?

jf: believe we need to define both

becky: Concerned developers were confused having same name in two places. Is that better documentation?

<JF> to also talk about augmenting with icons

janina: Concerned we may be over thinking mechanism vs what user needs

jf: we had concerned an onscreen icon

jf: but we may have multiple help icons -- different terms for each is cleanest

becky: Believe Janina provided justification for just using purpose

becky: Developer will understand user's need

Matthew_Atkinson: interesting discussion ...

Matthew_Atkinson: Believe adding icon may be indeed simplest; but maybe we only need one

Matthew_Atkinson: if we had a way of working out distination vs action ...

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to also speak to 'teaching' AI

jf: believe goal is also teachin AI systems

jf: so specificity wins out

jf: Not overly concerned if same icon is used for either

Matthew_Atkinson: Generally agree with explicit is better than implicit ....

Matthew_Atkinson: should we consider the rules we give to a validator?

Matthew_Atkinson: Sometimes both would be valid; but other times not. How do we guide?

jf: Perhaps an Ed Note asking responses during CR

jf: Concerned we may already have devs working from the draft

Matthew_Atkinson: Ask one detail ...

Matthew_Atkinson: Is the example currently legit? Where both can be used?

jf: Believe not explicitly forbidden; multiple attribs not forbidden

jf: Notes authors might do that and we're just trying to augment authoring

CharlesL: +1 to Ed Note

CharlesL: My only concern with 3 is that we have to ask for 3 from WHAT

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to suggest that Matthew and I pull together a 'whitepaper' with the outstanding questions and possible ways forward, and reference that in the Ed. Note

janina: Notes we're replacing data- specifically, with a reserved prefix

jf: Prefers to ask for the attribs without the prefix first

janina: That's another conversation and one that's strategic -- possibly above the TF pay grade

<JF> draft proposal: a) add Ed. Note to 1st module, b) Matthew and JF pull together a whitepaper that outlines the issues and possible ways forward

<Matthew_Atkinson> +1 to working with JF on white paper to support Editor's Note about possible ways forward wrt attributes.

<Matthew_Atkinson> +1 to it being a wiki page (thanks Janina)

<becky> +1

jf: Clarifies that we need a destination for our Ed Note to point for all the pros and cons

<Sharon> +1

jf: Could be a wiki

<Roy> +1

becky: Are we agreed on this one?

+1

<JF> +1

<Sharon> +1

Sharon: Appears so, and where it lives to be decided

jf: Will get it started

<Zakim> becky, you wanted to ask about resolving the name of the action help value

Action: JF to start the process of working with Matthew to collect pros and cons, and possible places to host that 'discussion'

<trackbot> Created ACTION-84 - Start the process of working with matthew to collect pros and cons, and possible places to host that 'discussion' [on John Foliot - due 2021-05-24].

becky: Want to get back to original q? action-help -- are we OK with same name for different values

<JF> action="opens_dialog" sort of maps to "hasPopup"

becky: Appears opening in page dialog is too specific -- as we currently have it

becky: Do we need more generic? Or allow two values

becky: There was confusion when they were the same, so we broke them out

jf: Values?

Becky: yes

[discussion on what we actually mean ...]

jf: On screen text may say "help," but tech may be different

becky: should look at the others where there may be overlap

jf: I propose Matthew and I will consider that ...

matthew: Noting I agree with what's being said, thinking distinction may be helpful to some users; but we also want to encourage creative competition among implementing user agents

Sharon: So we have a plan ...

Sharon: Anything else?

Summary of action items

  1. JF to start the process of working with Matthew to collect pros and cons, and possible places to host that 'discussion'
