Meeting minutes

<kaz> Aug-9

Ege: review minutes of Aug 9
… again, would like to expand the initials

Kaz: will also add your name to the chairs

Ege: otherwise looks good, if no objections can publish after fixes
… no objections

PRs

PR #336

<kaz> PR 336 - Adding History of the Standardization

Ege: history of standardization
… some feedback: pictures, second workshop
… made some edits, added some pictures
… however, need to find pictures, workshop

Kaz: will dig into webserver but will take some time

McCool: would be better to archive pictures somewhere we can access, so we solve this problem once

Kaz: when do you need them by?

McCool: I would also like to do an editorial pass, so at least a couple of weeks

Ege: can look at it again at the end of Aug/TPAC

Ege: unfortunately most pictures don't show any women

McCool: true, but we could use the shot showing the entire audience of the second workshop

Kaz: also a space problem with pictures

Ege: right, if put in github will blow up the repo

Kaz: maybe can just store the links, eg. and index page, in the repo

Pr #331

<kaz> PR 331 - Move Explainer to Marketing repo

Ege: about reorganizing explainers, made a checklist last time, worked through
… so there is a new draft
… now explainers are linked, but titled as explainers

McCool: only TD 1.1, do we wait for discovery?

Ege: would like to merge this now, do discovery later
… let me create an issue

McCool: ok let's merge

<Ege> Issue 338 - Add Discovery Explainer

Ege: (merged)

issues

issue #329

<kaz> Issue 329 - JSON Schema Case Study

Ege: json schema case study; draft of case study, under review

IG-CG discussion

Ege: don't plan to do this every week, maybe biweekly or once a month
… propose starting Sept 6 but that is TPAC pre-meeting, people will be busy

McCool: might be ok to have it in pre-TPAC if include discussion of next WG charter items

McCool: seeking input on priorities and use cases

Kaz: as staff, most important point is clarifying responsibilities of each group
… don't think we should continue this discussion, and make final decision about responsibilities

Ege: you mean responsibilities that CG should take?

Kaz: for example, don't necessarily need wot-marketing TF after CG starts

McCool: need to get a clear resolution

Ege: agree, but don't understand exact first step to take
… don't know where resolution should go

McCool: suggest create issue in wot repo, draft a resolution, schedule time to discuss in TPAC pre-meeting, in the meantime label issue in wot-marketing

Ege: propose to create an issue right now then

McCool: need to capture and resolve some sticking points, e.g. distinguishing official WG/IG anouncements from CG material
… we just need a policy

Kaz: and from current pages, need to figure out which are managed by which group
… just creating github issues is not enough, need a draft policy
… maybe a diagram, listing of pages
… locations and types of content

McCool: want to make sure the directory structure is clear

Ege: if move repo, will have to update web site redirection as well

McCool: that should not be a problem, the wot-marketing name is troublesome anyway

Kaz: also need to talk to W3M about publishing responsibilities, etc.

Ege: don't understand exact issues here...

Kaz: we did discuss it before
… may need to have another call about process

McCool: we really just need exact steps to go from here to there

Ege: get the feeling the previous discussion was not clear; who has the work, what needs to be done?

Kaz: before creating detailed issues and PRs, need design and policy

Ege: so where do we write that content if we don't use github?
… I felt in particular that we have already clarified our expectations

Kaz: which group is responsible for what resources

McCool: still feel we should use the wot repo to organize a resolution, at least for the IG/WG resolution
… but some homework needs to be done to consolidate prior discussion

Kaz: there are also multiple groups now, including Japanese WoT CG, Ben's group, etc.

Kaz: also, need to have another resolution for "groups" that are involved in WoT

Ege: Publishing@W3C page mentions activities

Kaz: obsolete terminology, unfortunately

McCool: suggest we make a list of things to do in the issue, and Kaz should comment on additional tasks

Kaz: I am a little worried about visibility of this discussion

McCool: we could use a private repo

Ege: ok, let me do that

McCool: let's aim to get a draft done by the pre-TPAC, then get input, then aim to finalize that it that week
… maybe can allocate two slots; first to discuss draft and gather input, second for actual resolution
