mobileOK Pro

    DKA: Phil, updates on pro?

    PhilA: had a meeting yesterday. Working through tests, looking at
    past work, and preparing to write more

    are the changes that we've already made addressing the issues of
    wanting to make the tests more repeatable?

    we've made them as repeatable as possible

    the posted version on the site is up to date

    latest version was attached to a recent mail from Kai on the list

    we wonder whether we're heading down the right track -- are the
    tests repeatable enough?

    <dom> [11]mobileOK Pro latest draft

    we think the first dozen tests are repeatable, solid

    that's the kind of approach we're taking

    we will use these as a template for more tests

    DKA: people took actions to write more tests yesterday

    PhilA: Dan has the first twenty...

    we're trying to listen to comments while making rapid progress

    DKA: comments, anyone?

    (none heard)

    we can look forward to a future draft where more tests are fleshed
    out

    if we can get lazy people like myself to complete their ACTIONs

    next topic is content transformation. Francois?

Content Tranformation guidelines

    francois: was going to say we need to delay another week, but after
    another look, there is little left to address

    there will be points to address in the future

    the 2-3 remaining issues concern altering header values,

    we're having trouble finding a clean solution

    so maybe we can agree on a 'dirty' one

    for example, when the proxy changes the User-Agent header

    DKA: what are the 'dirty' options?

    francois: clean solution would have been to embed original headers
    using some multipart format

    but that isn't transparent for content providers

    the dirty solutions are to create an "X-" HTTP header and use it for
    this purpose,

    or use the ?? HTTP header (what was this?)

    final option is to not embed anything

    send modified HTTP request if needed

    need to agree on one of the the three options

    DKA: what's the plan to pick an option?

    francois: we'll agree on the next task force call on Tuesday

    there are minor issues -- changing wording ins ome parts of the doc

    it won't change the doc meaning, just make it more readable

    DKA: editorial changes, yes

    will we be in a position to implement changes by Wednesday, for
    review on Wednesday, and resolve to move to working draft next
    Thursday?

    francois: will check with Jo to see if he is available on Wednesday

    I hope so

    DKA: shall we forget this and bless the 'manifesto'?

    francois: saw some discussion on the lists, and I wrote a post on
    the MWI blog

    maybe we can move to BPWG blog

    <francois> [14]fd's post

      [14] 
http://www.w3.org/blog/MWITeam/2008/03/25/content_transformation_guidelines

    <Bryan> fyi I will be switching to mobile so I can drive kids to
    school

    it just notes that the CT taskforce exists and explains its work

    maybe would be more visible on the BPWG blog

    DKA: don't think we need a public reply or anything; good to have
    this post on the BPWG blog

    let's post along with the first working draft

    francois: yeah, but if the draft is delayed we lose time; it would
    be nice to wait, if less than 2 more weeks

    DKA: group resolution? don't think it's needed unless there is an
    objection

    francois: will proceed if there are no objections

    (none heard)

    DKA: you have thoughts on what if anything could be used from the
    manifesto document?

    francois: yes, the ideas are already present in the draft for the
    most part

    "never change the User-Agent header" -- I wish we could say such
    things but it's not possible, so we can't use ideas like that

    many ideas make sense

    many ideas are heuristics for proxy to figure out whether it needs
    to transform page or not

    but hard to write rules like "must not transform" because few easy
    cases truly exist

    for example, not converting XHTML pages ever is not a practical idea

    won't review this next Tuesday, as we have other issues, but can
    take these issues up after that

    DKA: next topic is BP2

    Bryan: I sent an update and emailed about it, including input from
    Jeff

    also text about classification of devices

    those are the only changes

    <dom> [15]new draft of BP2 from bryan

      [15] 
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20080327

    <dom> [16]Diff since previous version

      [16] 
http://www.w3.org/2007/10/htmldiff?doc1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2FMWI%2FBPWG%2FGroup%2FDrafts%2FBestPractices-2.0%2FED-mobile-bp2-20080320&doc2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2FMWI%2FBPWG%2FGroup%2FDrafts%2FBestPractices-2.0%2FED-mobile-bp2-20080327

    DKA: lots of items in the ACTION queue that may relate to further
    input

    Bryan are there particular things we should pay attention to in the
    new draft?

    Bryan: two sections from Jeff -- group should review and provide
    comments

    I've seen an exchange on the list but not sure how it changes the
    text

    this addresses script "tuning", matching to capabilities, and the
    same for CSS

    the other input is on classification of devices. I pulled text from
    our developer site with examples of device classification

    if this looks good, great, otherwise input is requested

    DKA: any comments from the group?

    anyone want an action to review this?

    We'll have to approach this in a more structured way

    Bryan: we have good material in there -- how long to wait until we
    go to a public draft?

    DKA: Dom, francois, thoughts?

    dom: yes I think we should move to a public draft, as it will
    trigger review

    maybe 1 more week of review, and with no objection, resolve next
    week to publish as a public draft

    DKA: sounds good

    srowen: +1

    Bryan: two weeks would be fine too

    <dom> Bryan, I think the mention of "mobileOK" in
    [17]http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/E
    D-mobile-bp2-20080327#conformance should be removed

      [17] 
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20080327#conformance

    even if the doc is incomplete, with working notes, it's better to
    get it into the public view

    <dom> (agreed)

    DKA: next topic is the proposal regarding the Korean task force

    this came from the Seoul F2F meeting

    clear that it may be a good idea to set up a separate task force

Korean TF

    This TF will facilitate more communication input from Korea on BPs,
    from Mobile Web 2.0 forum

    translating language and requirements for Korean market

    <dom> [18]Korean TF charter proposal

      [18] http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddkw3489_7gvbm98fv

    I will take the liberty of walking people through the doc, Jonathan

    <JonathanJ> Proposal document :
    [19]http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddkw3489_7gvbm98fv

      [19] http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddkw3489_7gvbm98fv

    TF leaders are Seungyun, Jonathan is a member

    also Soonho Lee

    Jonathan maybe you can answer on IRC -- is the proposal that one or
    both task force leaders would represent the task force in the main
    working group calls?

    <JonathanJ> Yes

    I think this is a good proposal and I support it

    I characterize this as an experiment

    maybe useful to set up additional task forces in local markets

    particularly supportive of this because of W3C Korea's and MW 2.0
    forum's support

    want to continue this relationship

    make it more productive

    other comments?

    I propose we resolve to accept this charter

    <JonathanJ> +1

    <jeffs> +1

    <francois> +1

    <DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We accept the proposed task force charter
    document for a Korean task force and work with all speed to set up
    the task force as part of the BP group.

    <DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: We approve the proposed task force
    charter document for a Korean task force and work with all speed to
    set up the task force as part of the BP group.

    <DKA> RESOLUTION: We approve the proposed task force charter
    document for a Korean task force and work with all speed to set up
    the task force as part of the BP group.

    We'll be in touch about setting up mailing lists and other
    infrastructure

    DKA: next topic, mobility and accessibility

Accessibility document

    comments from Sean Henry from WAI outreach -- can you summarize?

    achuter: I took an action to reorganize the document after our
    conversation

    I just sent a message to both groups, a mockup to illustrate how the
    information has moved around

    there is some feedback so far

    some have suggested it is too complicated and a simple version is
    needed

    things are moving ahead, slowly

    DKA: can we take decisions today that would help move that along?

    <achuter>

    rafts/restructure/Overview.html

      [20] 
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/Accessibility/drafts/restructure/Overview.html

    achuter: no, just have a look at the reorganized document and see if
    it makes sense

    this document is for someone familiar with BP, and is now moving to
    WCAG

    for each WCAG criteria, this specifies how it relates to mobile, and
    enumerates success criteria

    further on, a section on BPs, which describes how BPs help meet WCAG
    success criteria

    DKA: who can take an action to review?

    DKA: checker issues?

    srowen: no, don't need group discussion

    DKA: CT issues?

    francois: "Jo's CT Shopping List" is the important issue but Jo's
    not here, not on the agenda

    <dom> [I think ISSUE-210 should be moved to the checker bugzilla]

    (srowen: OK with that --- this is an enhancement request and not
    really an issue, yes)

    (also happy to close ISSUE-214 with 'no')

    <DKA> RESOLUTION: CLOSE issue-210

    dom: I'll move it into bugzilla now

    DKA: any other business?

    (none heard)

    <JonathanJ> bye
