https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2019AprJun/0026.html

    kaz: our main purpose is first doc, WoT Thing Description
    ... other is kind of basic concepts
    ... our schedule, we'd like to bring to CR at end of the month
    ... already has some i18n features
    ... like to know if this is okay

    richard: doc I'm looking at is not in a w3c repo
    ... would prefer if it were in w3c repo before we review

    kaz: updating the draft daily, but generated fixed version
    using branch
    ... if needed, I can copy the fixed HTML to the www.w3.org
    server.

    <mkovatsc_> W3C repo:
    [13]https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/

    mathias: our doc is on github

    sebastian: would having a meeting to guide you helpful?

    richard: if you can review our checklist, that will help you
    guide us
    ... think it is a good idea for you to look through and
    identify things important for us to review
    ... we will likely look other places too, but it will still
    help
    ...
    [14]https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/shortchecklist.
    html
    ... points to more detailed checklist also

      [14] https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/shortchecklist.html

    <inserted> [15]detailed checklist

      [15] https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/developing-specs

    richard: if you go through and see if there are things to pay
    attention to while doing review
    ... we have to understand your document in just a few days

    addison: anything you want to call attention to?

    mathias: we will send you links to paths of doc
    ... and double check guidelines

    <kaz> s/matthias:/sebastian:/

    richard: can you give a brief overview of docs?

    sebastian: easiest way to explain is
    ... everyone knows html
    ... thing description is for devices
    ... index html for things
    ... describe capabilities of things
    ... properties, action events
    ... data expected
    ... protocol, such as http or some other iot protocol
    ... RDF based

    Explainer:

    Sebastian: what is the action about, title and description
    terms

    <r12a> [17]https://w3c.github.io/string-meta/

      [17] https://w3c.github.io/string-meta/

    Sebastian: multiple language support

    r12a: is there some kind of markup involved? how is information
    stored

    sebastian: thing description can be stored in different ways

    matthias: json based interchange format
    ... aligned with JSON-LD
    ... so JSON 1.1 could be used
    ... model for json structure so can be machine read
    ... have a few human-readable fields

    richard: put a link to string-meta, should read carefully
    ... anticipating comments, since we have identified problems
    with RDF and LD
    ... involving base direction

    Matthias: not a format for display

    kaz: have discussion with ld group, including Ivan Herman
    ... model describes device properties and how to control using
    actions and events
    ... concentrating on how to deal with devices properties
    ... will look into detailed checklist

    addison: only one telecon before end of month

    r12a: would like to understand why you didn't come forward
    sooner
    ... were you unaware?

    matthias: didn't understand process

    richard: need to find way to understand process earlier on
    ... also maybe having an i18n champion in WG

    kaz: first of all, very sorry as the team contact that we
    couldn't bring this earlier. there were important technical
    problems
    ... took longer than we expect

    addison: used to reviewing very raw specs

    matthias: reached out in tpac
    ... something fell between lines
    ... good if some kind of early registration mechanism

    richard: would having a champion in your WG be helpful?

    <kaz> kaz: as part of the w3c project team as well as the team
    contact for wot, yes, i agree
