Meeting minutes

minutes review

<kaz> Aug-16

Ege: we discussed about moving the explainer, almost done, we have a follow up issue
… we talked about a discovery explainer, too
… nick names are wrong
… but it looks good

Kaz: fixed
… anything else to fix?
… ok, minutes approved

Agenda wiki clean-up

Ege: I have a question, we have a long list of agendas in the wiki
… do we have a rule of thumb about how to garbage collect this old agenda items?

Kaz: you can move the old content to a subdirectory or a sub file based on the year, e.g., 2020 and 2021, like the main call wiki does

Ege: ok,
… is everybody fine with this chage?

Cristiano: +1

Ege: ok, I'll do it after the call

Pull requests

PR 336

<kaz> PR 336 - Adding History of the Standardization

Ege: I worked on the history of the standardization process
… got a bunch of reviews
… I removed pictures to free a little bit of space

Cristiano: I like the page, we can use it also to create a timeline with key events during the standardization

Kaz: it is fine if you have extra time
… However
… that kind of diagram is time consuming
… So from my viewpoint, just putting information using HTML lists is fine. Technically, we can render the list as a timeline table later if really needed.

Ege: adding also an issue about PR reviews

Daniel: there is a problem with links

<Ege> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/348

Ege: there is also a problem in how we configure the base url
… we can merge it as it is for now

Daniel: agreed

PR 342

<kaz> PR 342 - Delete wikipedia directory

Ege: I removed old content
… about a draft for the wikipedia page

Kaz: why are removing the content?

Ege: because the repository is easy to navigate

Kaz: but now we remove the history
… I'd keep everything

Ege: if we keep the content then we have to maintain it

Kaz: from my point of view these documents are still part of the deliverables produced by the WoT Marketing Task Force
… therefore is important to keep track of them

Ege: ok then I'll close the PR

Daniel: maybe it makes sense to add a warning saying that the content is outdated

Ege: I created a PR with that change

Kaz: we can also create an OBSOLETE directory, and move the old contents to that area.

<Ege> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/350

PR 349

<kaz> PR 349 - Update README.md

Ege: I applied the feedback
… the PR adds a warning

PR 342 - revisited

<kaz> PR 342 - Delete wikipedia directory

Ege: we moved the content of the deleted readmes to the website
… therefore the PR is cleaning the old files
… ok merging

Issues

Issue 332

Ege: it seems it outdated
… tpac is over
… can we close the issue?

Cristiano: +1

Daniel: +1

issue 285

Ege: daniel already did some work on this
… he updated arch link

Ege: is any other link that we should update?

Kaz: Discovery updated WD has been published

Ege: daniel can you do the update?

Daniel: yes

issue 326

Ege: the issue is about unify the look and the content of Readmes
… we should start from a template
… today I started working on it
… and I found a lot of additional information to be published
… I'm going to start working on this template

<kaz> W3C on GitHub guideline

Ege: with content listed in the issue

Kaz: are you aware of the w3c Github guidelines

Ege: no

issue 328

<kaz> Issue 328 - Identifying W3C crawlable pages

Ege: w3c generates group pages automatically

<Ege> https://www.w3.org/WoT/wg/

<Ege> https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/wot

Ege: they contain some information that we also have in our website
… the only thing that the automatic content does not have is the task force list
… my suggestion is to create a crawler to sync changes between the two pages
… we have the tools to do this
… w3c also has apis

Kaz: I asked everybody to think about the relationship between these two pages
… and analyse what we should automatically generated or manually curated

Ege: what do you mean about relationships?

Kaz: for example we don't need to embed the participant list in our website

Ege: we don't want to refer people to external pages
… because the two websites do not have the same look and feel

Daniel: we can use a script
… it is already there
… we discussed during the last main call
… we should not go back to the situation where we had multiple pages

Kaz: my priority and priority of the whole group is publication work

Ege: I belive in marketing work to bring people on wot tech

Kaz: at the moment we should focus on the spec work given our Charter has been extended both for the WG and the IG.

Ege: I personally think marketing work is even more important than the spec work.

Kaz: If the WoT IG Marketing TF as a whole really think this marketing work is even more important than the spec work, please make the TF resolution. And then we should bring that proposal to the main WoT WG/IG meeting, and we should see the whole groups' intention.

Ege: aob?
