Meeting minutes

Previous minutes

<dape> -> August-22

<kaz> dp: we had a short meeting last time

Daniel: we talked about quick updates
… the minutes looks good
… we can remove empty sections
… any objections?
… ok minutes approved

Quick updates

Daniel: it is pre-tpac week
… it seems that every call will take place as usual
… only main and testing calls are canceled
… today I would like to discuss not the technical aspect but the agenda
… I will ask mccool for a scripting slot
… just notice that the next two meetings are cancelled

TPAC Agenda

Daniel: I created three different slots

Working mode for Scripting API

Daniel: one is the working mode for the next charter
… different options:
… stay in the Working Group and write an Informative Note
… stay in WG but create a Formal Note (note track) . In this case we can have a conformance section
… WG, REC track
… and finally Community Group but there we don't have any W3C team support
… in my understanding kaz can provide one or two slides with pro and cons about these four options
… what do you think about this agenda point?

Cristiano: I agree that we must discuss this with high priority. About the options my personal take would be to go with the 2nd option. is not that I don't like the others but I think they are harder to achive

Daniel: I agree

Kaz: the options here are not really correct ( the terminology can be improved)

Daniel: Ok fixed

Kaz: the problem is that people are not familiar with the latest status of the "process" document
… I'd like to describe the essence of the document to everybody

Daniel: I totally agree

Kaz: also the community groud produce a community group reoport and it is not endorsed by the W3C
… notice that this information is reported by the status section in each document type
… originally this presentation about the latest status of the process document was planned during the recharting presentation

Daniel: ok then we can try to schedule scripting discussion after it

Kaz: we need to think also about potential push backs for the new charter
… there is not just pro/cons but a rather complex mix of view points
… anything else to add here?
… should we collect pro/cons that we see?

mizushima: I would not add CG among the options
… the direction of the group is not clear
… there is no deliverables defined

Daniel: I agree I would not go to the CG
… the point was raised by Zoltan to reach for a wider contributor pool

mizushima: CG is the last option

Cristiano: I agree

Kaz: if we talk about these options we should also include people's preference, why they would like to go for which option

Breaking changes

Daniel: we can discuss about Exposing process
… also about discovery API
… do you have something that you want to present to the group
… also actions support

Cristiano: I think we can discuss also additionalResponses and error codes

Daniel: I agree

Next charter

Daniel: mccool asked to report next charter topics
… I collected some options
… Discovery Alignment, TD profile support
… also management API
… finally, we can try to bring our API to project fugu

Cristiano: about the last one we have a blocker: we need to define discovery api correctly

Daniel: any other topics to discuss?

Kaz: during the Architecture call and the Testing call, we discussed how to test architecture specification
… it seems that there are some assertions in the Architecture that are relevant to scripting implementations
… it seems that we can have an implementation report also for scripting api
… then how should we test a scripting API implementation?
… also we should clarify the relationship between Architecture and Scripting.

Daniel: anything else to discuss?
… feel free to ping me if you want to add more topics
… aob?
