Orient attributes for marker

   <ed>
   [10]https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#OrientAttribute

     [10] https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#OrientAttribute

   ed: I put an issue in spec text, some things are not
   well defined currently. Specifically, how to compute the
   directionality of markers.

   ... some guidelines are in the path implementation
   notes, but this doesn't cover all aspects. E.g. Issue 18, when
   a curve segment has a null control point (coincides with end
   point). Should the direction be the direction of the visible
   line?

   ...that requires looking at previous points to
   calculate geometry. Otherwise, if you only use control point,
   direction is undefined.

   Tav: I agree, use the visible line. This is what
   Inkscape does.

   ed: I think there might be other similar issues,
   e.g. in stroking. We should have a clear definition for all
   cases.

   ... The text currently in SVG 2 draft has changed
   from 1.1, some wording has been lost. I'm not sure if
   re-introducing the text will address all issues. I suspect
   Cameron (who's not here today) might have the best idea of why
   the changes were made.

   Tav: I think I had the same issue with arc line
   joins, had to go back to previous points to figure out the
   direction.

   ed: Did you make a specific issue in the spec?

   Tav: I don't think so, I'll have to dig up my code.

   ed: Should we resolve to add instructions to look at
   all points as necessary to calculate direction?

   Tav: I think so. We need to use the visible curve.

   AmeliaBR: I agree to, anything else would confuse
   people.

   ed: So next issue is where to define this. In an
   appendix?

   AmeliaBR: We already have some sections about
   detailed geometrical calculations at end, could add there.

   ed: makes sense.

   RESOLUTION: Instructions for orient attribute should
   require agents to calculate the visible directionality and
   curvature, even if they have to process multiple points.

   Tav: There are also issues in implementing markers
   on closed paths. I'll talk about that more at Sydney.

   <ChrisLittle> zakim 388.aaa is me

   ed: I could take the action to come up with proposed
   text, although Cameron has been doing most of the marker work.

   ACTION on Cameron: Draft text to implement the
   resolution just passed re orientation of markers.

   ACTION: Cameron to Draft text to implement the
   resolution just passed re orientation of markers. [recorded in
   [12]http://www.w3.org/2015/01/29-svg-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-3699 - : draft text to implement the
   resolution just passed re orientation of markers. [on Cameron
   McCormack - due 2015-02-05].

SVG 2 spec readiness state assessment -

   <ed> scribeNick: ed

   <AmeliaBR> Bogdan: (?): We tried to quantitatively assess how
   many issues remain, and assigned editors to chapters, as
   indicated in linked wiki page.

   <scribe> scribenick: AmeliaBR

   Tav: I want to make clear, annotations are not necessarily an
   indication of things that need to be changed. Some explain why
   we made a change; they should be changed in the final version.

   Bogdan: That's good to know.

   ed: Do you think it is useful to go through the remaining
   chapters to clear up all remaining issues, or is that too
   early?

   Bogdan: I think it's too early. There are many issues
   remaining, too much for a call. But I think we can set up teams
   to work through those issues.
   ... I'd appreciate if people can review the table (in linked
   wiki) and make sure it looks right for the summary of issues
   and work to do.

   ed: I think it looks good as a kind of litmus test of
   readiness.

   Bogdan: I think we can probably make some progress before the
   face to face, I don't want to waste time by waiting to start at
   that meeting.

   ed: I think I will go through (review and try to do some
   actions) the specs before then.

   Bogdan: One thing I'm concerned, is that some issues may be
   showing up only because they haven't been correctly closed in
   the tracking system.

   Tav: I think there are many issues that will require
   discussion, we haven't decided what to do

   Bogdan: I realize some issues require discussion. But will we
   wait until we can go forward with all issues, or can we focus
   on this table and address the issues we can.

   Tav: I think many of the issues are simple, and can be solved
   quickly in face to face.

   ed: I think we should try to move forward, and make it clear to
   the larger community that we will be publishing smaller changes
   more frequently. I think that's what we previously discussed.

   Bogdan: So should we announce something on mailing list?

   ed: I think so, at least to www-svg and maybe CSS.

   <scribe> ACTION: Bogdan to Compose email about intentions to
   devise the current spec, and move to a more rapid pace of
   updates [recorded in
   [14]http://www.w3.org/2015/01/29-svg-minutes.html#action02]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-3700 - Compose email about intentions
   to devise the current spec, and move to a more rapid pace of
   updates [on Bogdan Brinza - due 2015-02-05].

   ed: Send this to private working group list for review?

   Bogdan: ... yep.

   ed: Any agenda requests?

   AmeliaBR: we could update on decisions from accessibility
   group.

SVG Accessibility update

   Richard: We decided on a couple changes to the API mapping
   spec. A few issues have come up, but I don't think they will
   stop first-pass working draft. I've asked for review from the
   main PF working group as well, and we will be coordinating with
   the HTML mapping work.

   <ChrisLittle> bye
