Re: [minutes] Thursday 13 December Teleconf

Hi all (and thanks François for posting the minutes) -

As this was our last teleconf of the year (next one scheduled for 3 Jan) I'd just like to try to sum up the work of the last year and set the stage for 2008. We accomplished an awful lot this year. The BPs made it to Proposed Rec. MobileOK Basic made it to Candidate Rec. The checker task force has been amazingly productive, bringing out the open source implementation and developing a whole new markup language. We began cracking this problem of transcoding proxies in the Content Transformation task force. We agreed our new charter and began operating in public, which has already brought benefits. Most recently we agreed a broad shape for our next major document - BP II - and began discussions on "mobile web applications" in partnership with the Open Ajax Alliance and its mobile task force. We began joint work with the WAI education and outreach group on the mobility-accessibility document and took this document into the main stream of the working group.

Next year, as I see it, our challenge is to pick up the pace a bit. We should have had a public working draft of the content transformation guidelines. Likewise for mobile accessibility. Likewise for BP2. 

We need to figure out how to raise energy level in the group in order to tackle these challenges and I invite you all to think about this over the break.

I really look forward to working with you all in the New Year.

Thanks for a great year, Mobile Web fans!

Dan

   Dom: BISHTTP being presumably the list of the rechartered IETF WG
   that works on revising HTTP

   PhilA: the only requirement to join the WG is to join the mailing
   list, actually
   ... pretty active mailing list
   ... it's the old HTTP gang again

   Dom: they're "only" fixing HTTP 1.1, not creating HTTP 1.2

   PhilA: indeed, they won't be adding new features
   ... they have a very restricted charter

   DKA: how does that affect our ability to put mobileOK hints in HTTP
   headers?

   PhilA: I don't think they will help - the charter forbids them to
   define new headers, IIRC
   ... it's unclear how this affects the status of promulgating the
   Link: header
   ... I don't know that the IETF process is to push an internet draft
   as RFC

   (13 messages exchanged on this topic in the TF)

   Jo: there is mild support for going beyond Cache-Control and Vary
   ... my own view (which is not supported) is that if we only say so,
   we may as well have said 3 months ago

   DKA: I think we need to say something else

   Jo: if it's clear than something less brute-force than
   "no-transform" is needed (e.g. to allow compression by an
   intermediate, or adapting the image format, but don't relay my stuff
   out)
   ... then there is a need for something else
   ... the problem with no-transform in particular is [...]?

   kai: are you going to give instructions on how to handle specific
   parts of the content?

   Jo: no, the idea on the table is to day that "Cache-control:
   no-transform, ..." has a fail-safe interpretation for non-conforming
   proxies

   Kai: I'm wondering if we really have to worry about non-conforming
   proxies
   ... and not deal with those that don't follow the rules

   Jo: I agree-ish
   ... but there is a community agreement on how to fail safely these
   instructions
   ... is it in scope for our charter to invent new values for the
   cache-control header?
   ... it's clear we wouldn't want to invent new HTTP headers
   ... but having modifiers on the existing values might be OK-ish

   q,

   <DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: new values for cache control headers is
   not new technology.

   <DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We will take over the IETF.

   <Kai> +1

   <Zakim> Kai, you wanted to say that I think caching already
   understood and used badly enough. We do not need to make it more
   complicated but should focus on correct usage of what exists

   <PhilA> Happy Christmas everyone

   <jo> [and hanukkah]
