Meeting minutes

Review issues, PRs and Status

McCool: I reviewed issues and PRs
… let's review them, most are pretty simple

PR 51

<Github> w3c/wot#51 : updated old JSON-LD context

McCool: I did a major cleanup

Kaz: There are also many issues on the wot repo. We should clean them up before starting the discussion on further updates on the wot-charter-drafts side.

McCool: let's review after this one
… this is a cleanup for rendering

<McCool> w3c/wot-charter-drafts#51

McCool: any objection to merge (none)

(merged)

<Github> PR 51 - Details cleanup : updated old JSON-LD context

issues in WoT repo

<kaz> issues and PRs on the wot repo with "WG New Charter Plans 2023" label

McCool: multiple were moved
… let's review those that are marked as "WG New Charter Plans 2023"
… we can close these that were moved

Kaz: you can ask submitters if they were moved

McCool: I believe we are already done with these
… I think we also moved the PR
… I'll close all of these, if you feel that it was incorrect, please open a new issue and bring it up in the main call tomorrow
… If there are any further issues, please bring them up in tomorrow's main call

<Github> w3c/wot#51 : updated old JSON-LD context

McCool: there are two PRs that are solving the same issue wrt. privacy and accessibility

<kaz> s/issue #51//

McCool: we could remove them both or modify the description

<Github> w3c/wot#51 : updated old JSON-LD context

<Github> w3c/wot#51 : updated old JSON-LD context

<Ege> +1 to for in addition to hz review

Kaz: what is added with this PR - any specific text for a11y?

<McCool> w3c/wot-charter-drafts#45

McCool: we should only mention these groups if we do more than horizontal review
… trying to be consistent with what we do for PING

Kaz: if we want stronger collaboration that would be great, however the text could be improved

McCool: was copied from last charter

<Ege> +1 to kaz

Kaz: we might need another improvement to the text

McCool: let's merge and ask the a11y group for suggestions on improved text

Kaz: we have to get review by these groups, we can ask for their comments even earlier

Daniel: Those groups are in the W3C process, why do we mention them at all? Charter could be shorter

Lagally: shorter is better

Ege: horizontal review is only at the end of publication period, feedback at the end may be too late
… what about i18n?

McCool: if we work proactively with these groups, we should mention it

Kaz: these days, those 4 horizontal groups are default groups for collaboration in the W3C

<kaz> In addition to the above catch-all reference to horizontal review which includes accessibility review, please check with chairs and staff contacts of the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group to determine if an additional liaison statement with more specific information about concrete review issues is needed in the list below.

Kaz: there's a specifc note about that in the template
… if we think about stronger a11y support that's great, but we should have preliminary discussion with them and ask them how to handle it

McCool: if we start horizontal reviews early, we still need a document to review

Kaz: we should talk with these groups and discuss what to do in the charter

McCool: I suggest we merge the text and work proactively with these groups
… suggest we merge the text
… before we call this done, we should have it reviewed by these groups. will keep the issue open
… will close wot issue#49 w/o merge

s /idss/iss/

merge request: #54

<Github> w3c/wot#54 : Update JSON-LD context

Ege: I fixed the title
… there is some overlapping text

McCool: I have another PR that modifies the background section
… we don't want to change the template, this belongs into our draft

Kaz: when I raised the issue about meeting title, I suggested to better describe our intentions
… mission and basic policy

<kaz> Issue 54 - Motivation and Background

<kaz> PR 54 - Motivation and background title

McCool: if we don't add the header, the table will be split - this cleans up the section headers
… this is a bug fix.

(merged)

McCool: we were doing bottom up collection of work items, Kaz suggested top down
… we have two choices: delete all details, take them to a separate document, or keep them.

Lagally: there are too many details in this section, the second part could be condensed into a single paragraph. The first part of the scope serction is fine.

Kaz: I agree with both of you
… we can think about adding new features about wider industry collaboration
… it would be nicer to describe the relationship between the major bullet points above and the detailed items below if we want to keep the detailed items.

McCool: this is good enough to start the AC review

Ege: I have a pull request about 3 other items, I'm ok with the current text, but it misses binding templates
… I agree with adding this part, however don't agree with the content

Lagally: this discussion is premature, we first have to define the scope

McCool: any objection to merge, we can always refine this later.
… I commented out details about plugfests and open source implementations - we can always bring it back

Kaz: I like to agree with McCool, Lagally and Ege, suggest we merge this PR and think about further improvements next

PR #55

<kaz> PR 55 - Reorganize and consolidate work items

<kaz> Issue 24 - Consolidate and Refine Work Items and Describe Higher-Level Goals

Ege: I restructured the description significantly

McCool: We have several topics such as onboarding and geolocation - we need a normative security deliverable
… I put this normative work item into architecture
… if we want a prescriptive onboarding process and also normative security requirements, we can use architecture
… I object to deleting this
… onboarding is a pretty big missing item, security TF is considering this very important

Ben: not sure what onboarding relates to, could be put into discovery

McCool: we could do that

Ege: I objected to the security deliverable, not sure about the reason. I agree with Ben Francis, that it belongs into discovery.

McCool: Let's review the rendered version

<luca_barbato_> I also agree with Ben Francis, I was about to say about the same thing about Onboarding and Discovery being close

McCool: Please review the PRs and let's rediscuss logisitcs in tomorrow's main call

* ml: I have to leave

Kaz: sounds to me that unfortunately we don't have enough consensus yet for generating actual text, would suggest we once stop generating/discussing Pullrequests but should concentrate on discussion to clarify people's expectations first.
