Resolution #1: Meeting minutes accepted
Tzviya Siegman: minutes approved!
1. PWP discussion
Ivan Herman: some discussions with Dave (at TPAC and later)
… 2 main sections: (1) features that are package-format independent
… either infoitems that are PWP-specific or additional reqs on extant infoitems from WP
… (2) packaging format
… cutting into two sections allows for variation in packaging format
Ivan Herman: packaging part show the options
… many open issues with Web Packaging Format
… FPWD may leave these issues open
… infoitems specific to PWP not really discussed in this group
… Hadrien started this discussion
Tzviya Siegman: https://github.com/w3c/pwpub/pull/13
Ivan Herman: PR from Dave which already has this sectioning
… could we merge that?
… scheduling: maybe vote on locator and WP as FPWD? if yes, could be published before Christmas
… accept a little bit of shift
… publication in first week of January after moratorium
Garth Conboy: have folks seen PR 13?
… could we merge it?
Tzviya Siegman: +1
Ivan Herman: +1
Mateus Teixeira: +1
Benjamin Young: +1
Deborah Kaplan: +1
Peter Krautzberger: +1
Resolution #2: Merge PR 13 (ivan would do it after the call)
Ivan Herman: list of packaging options in PR
Garth Conboy: not exclusive list, other options possible
Tzviya Siegman: issues list https://github.com/w3c/pwpub/issues
Ivan Herman: definition of PWP is an open issue, at the moment only a placeholder
Tzviya Siegman: distinct repo for PWP - watch it!
Garth Conboy: ppl should look at that issue list - quite a number of comments
Garth Conboy: discuss issues on PWP now or continue with other topics?
Ivan Herman: we should try for now not to go too much into the details
… we don’t have to agree on anything - intermediate results would be welcome
Tzviya Siegman: trying to publish and come back to details later
Garth Conboy: anything else on PWP draft
2. Locators
Tim Cole: https://w3c.github.io/publ-loc/
Tim Cole: current locator spec draft
… pretty good shape for FPWD
… 3 new selectors
… a new kind of specifier proposition
Tim Cole: https://github.com/w3c/publ-loc/issues/6
Tim Cole: resolve issue of quantified? identifiers
… media fragments never taken up by browsers
Tim Cole: https://github.com/w3c/publ-loc/pull/35
Tim Cole: should we keep fragment identifier debate in FPWD
… could define fragment identifier scheme for PWP
… maybe it’s too much?
… what the community interest in fragment identifiers is?
Tzviya Siegman: preliminary to make decision about media type
Tim Cole: don’t want to delete p on fragment identifiers totally
… perhaps keep a copy and decide this issue later
Ivan Herman: only problem with fragment identifiers - incredibly complicated
… encode JSON to make it valid URLs - practically not usable
… clear and clean is to have a fragment identifier on WP as a whole to identify one resource
… either remove all or keep only that one.
Hadrien Gardeur: not our role to mint media fragments
… gap on the web for referencing text
… missing on the web
Ivan Herman: strange doc - about 70% already a Rec
… part of Annotation Rec, we only added 3 selectors that are WP-specific
Tim Cole: the web is moving to a non-fragment identifier approach
… user agents should make more use of JSON
… here we try to use JSON descriptions
… fragment identifier as throwback to earlier approaches
Rachel Comerford: fragment issue really important for educational publishing
… can’t accept to miss it entirely
Tim Cole: different way than trad. html identifiers needed?
Rachel Comerford: CFI standard used
Tim Cole: app can use JSON to define start/end of fragment
Tim Cole: what you append to url to get to the right spot = fragment identifier
Benjamin Young: UA should understand JSON and bring you to this spot. Locator spec not yet implemented
… UA should be able to consume JSON to locate a portion of the doc
… fragment identifiers are important for locating a portion of the doc
Garth Conboy: is that an argument against the proposal?
Garth Conboy: https://github.com/w3c/publ-loc/issues/6#issuecomment-343489220
Benjamin Young: we need a new fragment identifier not specific to a certain media type
Tim Cole: open issue suggesting we may need to add some of what Benjamin is talking about https://github.com/w3c/publ-loc/issues/27
Benjamin Young: making the UA go to a place for the reader
Ivan Herman: CFI is only a declarative way of defining patterns, doesn’t say what UA should do
… fragment identification doesn’t describe UA behaviour
… going back to rachel + hadrien’s comments
… unified view that lists fragment identifier approaches
… most is already a spec
Garth Conboy: https://github.com/w3c/publ-loc/issues/6#issuecomment-343489220
Benjamin Young: +1 to focusing the document on just the new stuff
Ivan Herman: we only add WP-specific things
Rachel Comerford: +1
Dave Cramer: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-fragid (as an example for the description on what a UA does with a fragment ID)
Ivan Herman: +1
Mateus Teixeira: +1
Benjamin Young: +1
Tzviya Siegman: +1
Tim Cole: +1
Resolution #3: close this PR and create a new one based on consensus (the only fragid is for ERS). 10 issues open to be addressed after FPWD
Tim Cole: 10 issues open to be addressed after FPWD

3. security
Baldur Bjarnason: comparing security-related issues in specs
4. entry page
Ivan Herman: we have reached some sort of a conclusion we can all live with

Tzviya Siegman: https://github.com/w3c/wpub/issues/108
Tzviya Siegman: https://github.com/w3c/wpub/issues/103
