Koster: yes

Publication Schedule

<kaz> wg-schedule.md

Kaz: we discussed in main call the publication schedule

Kaz: the main topic for the WG is TD and Binding

Kaz: The initial proposal is to publish a first draft by the end of September

Kaz: We as the TD-TF need to update the wg-schedule.md for TD and Binding.

Ege: Basically our TF needs to fill most of the schedule

Ege: we do not needs to fill everything during the first working draft

Ege: does anybody have other opinions?

Ege: Is everybody fine in calling it TD 2.0 ?

Ege: do we have any objections or proposal?

Cristiano: Do we have some implications regarding the name?

Ege: It would impact the urls

Cristiano: if we use `next` we'd just have a deprecation notice for the final name?

Luca: I would keep on using versioning
… consensus is that the next version will be incompatible so 2.0 makes sense
… we already have the concept of draft, candidate rec, and rec
… I wouldn't spend much time, just go with 2.0

Kaz: I agree with lu, we basically already agreed on it during this charter period. Note that the current Charter just says "Thing Description (Update)".

<kaz> the Current WoT WG Charter

Ege: I also thing TD 2.0 will be incompatible

Daniel: I do not mind 2.0, but I see CSS went with just CSS 3

Ege: Do we have opinions?

Kaz: Keep in mind that CSS 3 means "level 3" and not version

Daniel: I see other specifications doing with single number

Kaz: We already used 1.1

Kaz: from my point of view anything is fine but it must not be 1.2

Luca: I would stay consistent. We already have 11. Unless we have 10 major versions, we shouldn't have a problem

<kaz> WCAG uses 3.0 for version 3 :)

Kaz: Each working group has their own policy

Kaz: we can keep 11, 20 as we like

Ege: I'd go 2.0 since is more descriptive

Kaz: note that we need to talk with PLH before FPWD publication about the URL

<EgeKorkan> proposal: The TD TF agrees on working for First Public Working Draft for the TD (Update) document and the First Public Draft Registry for the Binding Registry document within this charter period.

Ege: Any objections?

RESOLUTION: The TD TF agrees on working for First Public Working Draft for the TD (Update) document and the First Public Draft Registry for the Binding Registry document within this charter period.

<EgeKorkan> proposal: The TD TF agrees on calling the update to the TD specification "Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description 2.0" with the shortname wot-thing-description-2.0

Ege: Any remarks on the second one?

RESOLUTION: The TD TF agrees on calling the update to the TD specification "Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description 2.0" with the shortname wot-thing-description-2.0

<kaz> history of registry docs

Cristiano: Before listing the features, I guess we can list the new features and explain why we are going to 2.0

Luca: all of this would be great material for mastodon or long form blog posts
… we can blog more about such upcoming features
… on the other hand, we should try to pick just one feature and get implementation feedback on it. In a coordinated manner
… so in a month get some results and say that multiple implementations work in an interoperable way
… it would be outreach too. 70% outreach, 30% spec work
… so we would not need to wait for a plugfest
… we should see if the implementations work

Ege: it would be a good strategy in general and it was the original plugfest format

Ege: with 4 plugfests per year

Ege: since we are more distributed it would be good to try as you suggest

Cristiano: and all this work is blocked on the toolchain work

Cristiano: we could have a normative section to tell how to model a queue of actions

Cristiano: queues for actions aren't that common though

Ege: Do we need to put more or that's already too much?

Cristiano: it is good to have a list

Kaz: please think about which feature would take how long discussion. we should avoid working too complicated features.
