widgets specs (
[15]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WidgetImplementation ).
Everyone in the WG is welcome to edit and help maintain this

MC: this work by Samuel and Daniel is part of our annoucements
... they would like to join WebApps as Invited Experts
... they are conducting some widget compatibility work
... have an intern that run the tests
... I think this data will be useful
Arve: what does Present Techn do?
MC: they are based in Portugal; do a lot of stuff
... one thing is building mobile web sites
... they want to understand who supports the W3C's widgets specs
... they want to know exactly which features are implemented by the
various vendors
... they will help me with testing
... but they will NOT do their own independent impl

<trackbot> Created ACTION-419 - Follow-up with Team about how to get
Present Technologies participating in WebApps' Widgets work [on
Arthur Barstow - due 2009-10-22].
AB: has this work been announced on the Public mail list?
MC: no, not yet
... I need to do some work first
... I am having massive probs with CVS on W3C server
Review and tweak agenda
AB: I submitted a draft agenda on Oct 14 (
[18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009OctDec/01
72.html ). Any change requests?
[18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/
2009OctDec/0172.html
[ None ]
P&C spec: Issue #93 - deprecated, grandfathered, and redundant tags
should be skipped
AB: last week Marcos agreed to pursue Issue #93 (
[19]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/93 ); see also
Action #413 ( [20]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/413
). Marcos, what's the status? This should be closed before we
publish the next LCWD.
[19] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/93
[20] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/413
MC: this has been implemented in the TSE
... I'm not entirely comfortable with the text in the spec
... should ignore propr tags
AB: could you cite the text in a public mail list?
MC: yes
AB: then we can presumably come to consensus on the text
MC: I'll do that today
AB: anything else on Issue #93 for today?
... let's err on the side of caution here
<Marcos> the text is question is: "If this range begins with the
subtag "i", "x", or the range is marked as "deprecated" in the IANA
Language Subtag Registry, skip all the steps in this algorithm
below, and move onto the next range. "
AB: let's continue on the mail list
MC: definitely check the TSE version
P&C spec: ABNF changes for Valid Zip Relative Path
AB: earlier this week Marcos proposed a revised ABNF for a valid Zip
Relative Path (
[21]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009OctDec/01
49.html ). What is the problem that requires this bug fix?
[21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/
2009OctDec/0149.html
MC: when paths are checked, the CR's BNF wasn't quite correct for
lang tags
AB: has anyone reviewed the changes?
MH: I will review it
... by tomorrow at the latest
MC: I ran a bunch of tests
AB: where is the lang-range rule copied from?
MC: it is modified because we only support lower case
... CP437 allows upper case and we don't want that
AB: "*-c*" is valid?
MC: yes, that is valid
AB: wanted to know if you were codifying a registry?
MC: the registry is constantly changing
AB: these changes will eliminate some refs?
MC: yes; additionally the prose and BNF match whereas in the CR they
were not in sync
AB: can anyone else commit to a review?
[ None ]
AB: I did a quick review and didn't notice any issues
MH: in case #4, what is "ext"?
MC: the prose clarifies this
... I did some tests on MacOS and Windows
... but if have ".filename", need prose to handle that case
... gets too messy to cover that case with BNF
MH: is ".something.ext" a file or an extension?
<Marcos> something.x
MH: that is the main problem
... the BNF I created addressed that case
<Marcos> ".something.ext" = extension
<Marcos> "something." is file name
<Marcos> ".something" is file name
<marcin> filename.something.ext : what is extension here?
MC: "ext" is the extension in that case MH
... please read the prose as well as the new BNF
MH: the ABNF is ambiguous
... can't write a parser
... only the "." is a problem
MC: want to leave the BNF as is and clarify in prose the one case
AB: is the proposal already in the TSE?
MC: yes, that's correct
<Marcos> 9.1.10 Rule for Identifying the Media Type of a File
AB: so the task then is to review this new section in the TSE
version - DO NOT USE THE CR!
... anything else on this topic for today?
[ None ]
P&C spec: what's blocking LC#3 publication?
AB: it would be good to publish LC#3 before the TPAC publication
moratorium.
... besides Issue #93 and BNF, anthing else?
MC: yes, I found a couple of bugs
... Rule for finding a file within a widget
... but I fixed that
... the prose had a bug
AB: that is an important part of the proc model
<Marcos> 9.1.3 Rule for Finding a File Within a Widget Package
<Marcos> is buggy
AB: would you please send an email that summarizes the bug and the
fix?
MC: yes
... I am feeling quite comfortable about republishing
AB: what about the "Fail encrypted archive" thread?
... my gut feel is that we should just leave the text as is given
how late in the process we are
... what do people think about leaviing it as is?
RB: I can live with either option
MH: I think this is a big topic
... If we want to go quickly, we should leave it as is
MC: I can live with leaving it as is
AB: I propose we record an agreement to leave the spec as is re
encryption fail
... any objections?
[ None ]
RESOLUTION: leave the widget encryption fail text as is
AB: when do expect it to be ready to publish?
MC: as soon as MH completes his review of the BNF, it will be ready
AB: it seems like the earliest we will be able to record agreement
on publishin LC#3 is Oct 22
... any comments on that?
... that would mean LC#3 of the P+C will be published Oct 27
TWI spec: Action 411 - need a definition of Widget Instance
AB: Marcos, what is the status of Action #411 (
[22]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/411 ) - "Submit a
proposal for the definition of Widget Instance"?
... who is willing to help (
[23]http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ )?
... can you work with Scott Wilson on this?
[22] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/411
[23] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/
MC: yes, I can
AB: what's the priority?
MC: I can take on TWI tasks after P+C is done
<arve> ArtB: apparently, you are making noise :D
<marcin> I put myslef on mute usually
<marcin> ohh
MC: I need to complete P+C tests
... I can work with Scott
... not sure I can meet the pub deadline of Oct 27 for the TWI spec
... if Robin can help, that would be good
RB: most of time is now dedicated to DAP
AB: other than the Instance definition, what else needs to be done?
MC: I'm not sure
AB: if there is anything that I can or others can do to help, please
let us know
MC: best thing to do is to review what's there
... if we are going to make another LC, then I guess we don't need
to work on the DoC document
AB: the precedence is to skip the DoC doc if we know we are going to
publish a new LC
... but I agree it would be ideal to create the DoC
... anything else on TWI for today?
[ No ]
VMMF spec: Comments from Marcin:
AB: Marcin submitted some comments re the VMMF spec (
[24]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009OctDec/00
47.html ). We won't discuss those comments here but please follow-up
on the Public mail list
... this is an important document
... I wonder if BONDI has any input on the VMMF spec?
[24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/
2009OctDec/0047.html
DR: I'll check
AB: thanks
Continue technical discussions on WARP, URI, Updates, VM-I, etc. on
public-webapps
AB: we've skipped several specs today.
... sorry to put Robin on the spot, but what's the status and plans
for WARP?
RB: I have made some changes
... I haven't checked them in yet
... think a new LCWD will be needed
... two classes of comments: 1) scope; 2) what are the limits
... need to clarify what a URI needs to do; may want to match what
CORS does
... need to reflect Marcin's and Dom's comments as well as some
stuff from Marcos
... Hopefully, will have something to review by next week
... not sure about the BBC comment re local network
<darobin> [25]http://www.w3.org/mid/[email protected]
[25] http://www.w3.org/mid/[email protected]
RB: what is described seems useful but not sure what we should do
about it
... really want others to submit feedback for that use case
AB: so everyone, please review this other use case and provide
feedback
... sorry to put Marcin on the spot, but what's the status and plans
for VM-I?
MH: I have been focusing on Media Feature
... will start on the Interfaces spec
... there are bugs that need to be fixed
... think MF is higher priority
AB: any comments for Marcin?
... I tend to agree MF is higher priority
AOB
AB: does any AOB for today?
[ None ]
AB: Meeting adjourned; next call will be Oct 22
