[explain the MiniApps Frameworks and specs]
Zitao_Wang: it would be great if we can show the architecture of a miniapp framework in the Hackathon
… JD Taro can be an example
… but we need to think about the next steps
… do you think this should be part of the Hackathon or the CG meeting?
Dan_Zhou: what's the plan for the WG meeting?
Zitao_Wang: I think the testing project is one of the important steps of our specs development
… we can Cfp in this meeting
… we are also looking for speakers from other vendors
… Qing An can introduce MiniApp on Vehicles

xiaoqian: I have a question for martin and tomayac
… I wonder if you'd like to join the WG meeting
… and if so, do you need multi-language support?
martin: if I can, I'd be glad to join
xiaoqian: the Hackathon is in the morning, which isn't an ideal time for you
… but you can join the WG and CG meetings
<tomayac> Time permitting (and given translation), I'd be happy to attend, too. Likewise, I'd be interested in reading the summary.
Lifecycle
QingAn: Lifecycle has completed privacy, a11y, and i18n review
… I'm working on addressing the comments
https://github.com/w3c/miniapp-lifecycle/issues/32
QingAn: I've looked at other lifecycle specs
… but didn't see accessibility-related text
… will work with PING
… to address this issue
https://github.com/w3c/miniapp-lifecycle/issues/31
QingAn: simple one
… will try to provide more detailed explanations
https://github.com/w3c/miniapp-lifecycle/issues/30
QingAn: I've sent a PR
… I have discussed this issue with Xiaomi
… and PING made a similar comment
… I'm trying to use events instead of callbacks
… still need time to evaluate if the PR satisfies the requirements
… Page Lifecycle also uses addEventListener instead of callbacks
Dan_Zhou: thanks
… any comments?
QingAn: if would be good if you and Zitao can review it
Zitao_Wang: will do
Dan_Zhou: ok
Manifest
<martin> https://
martin: this issue is about the alignment of MiniApp's app_id and Web App Manifest's id member
… raised by tomayac
… I already raised an issue against Web App Manifest
… MiniApps don't have document URLs because it's distributed in multiple ways
… it's still open
… IMO if we can adopt the id from Web App Manifest it would be great
… but no news so far
<martin> https://
martin: this is something I can do
<martin> https://
martin: based on the text in the white paper
martin: PING is asking how to validate / verify app_id
… I will work on this issue
<martin> https://
martin: this is also from PING
… asking for clarification on "sessions"
… if you have any comments feel free to comment on the issue
<martin> https://
martin: this issue is raised by tomayac
<tomayac> (Noting that there's no accepted solution yet, so having mini app requirements be part of the discussion would be very much welcome!)
martin: similar to #43
<Github> https://
martin: if we can do it, we're happy to align with WAM
martin: no new PRs or commits this month
Dan_Zhou: maybe we can clarify the relationship in the explainer
martin: yes, and add notes to the spec
Packaging
martin: wide review has started
… I know we will get some comments
… because we're missing an important part of the packaging
… the "content" of the miniapp
… HTML/CSS/JS
… so far I've included some "placeholders"
Testing
https://
[martin introduces the structure of a test]
https://
martin: xfq raised an issue about how to run the tests
… I wrote some information on how to write tests and generate reports
… I created some tests about manifest, packaging, and lifecycle
… feel free to try it
… so far we cannot test the MiniApps, but hopefully we can test them in the near future
… using the conversion tool or whatever
… the .ma files are the packages themselves
… please have a look
Addressing
Dan_Zhou: no progress
Widget
Xiaoping_Zhao: updated the PR a bit, nothing worth mentioning
… can talk about it in next month's TPAC
Dan_Zhou: next meeting is TPAC
