Tzviya Siegman: Matt has been doing edits on pub manifest spec
… but he’s not here

Tzviya Siegman: https://w3c.github.io/pub-manifest/

Ivan Herman: it’s all editorial
… before XMas matt and I implemented the algo
… and we tried to go through as it was written in the spec
… and we found some small issues
… and there were some similar changes in the audio book spec
… one or two small changes
… there was a missing extension point
… this didn’t invalidate previous steps

Tzviya Siegman: there’s still an open PR on pub-manifest
… I don’t see changes in audio since 3 Jan

Ivan Herman: there are changes since last publication

Tzviya Siegman: should we republish?
… it’s not going to affect the status
… do we have enough people to vote?

Ivan Herman: yes

… the proposal is

3. update on testing

Tzviya Siegman: any news from the testing front on any spec?

Ivan Herman: crickets…

Tzviya Siegman: I talked to someone who might be interested in testing
… are we at risk at all
… we have a lot of commitments about tests, but few tests so far
… we have lots of experimental work, not real-world tests

Ivan Herman: I’m not sure I agree
… the really testable parts of the spec are very few
… they are in the algos
… and there are lots of tests for those cases
… there are some behavioral tests that are missing
… but that’s ok
… the real problem is that the implementations are toy implementations
… we don’t have real world implementations that go through those tests

Tzviya Siegman: yes
… any volunteers to start testing? I’ll ping some people
… anything else to cover today?
… thanks everyone
