[minutes] BPWG Teleconference 2010-01-12

Hi,

The minutes of today's call are available at:
   http://www.w3.org/2010/01/12-bpwg-minutes.html

... and copied as raw text below.

Discussions around Mobile Web Application Best Practices were postponed 
to next week.

We have resolved the remaining 3 last call comments on the Guidelines 
for Web Content Transformation Proxies:
- In respect of LC-2358 resolve no, we understand the point but have 
debated this at length previously and this is the best title we could 
think of.
- In respect of LC-2359, resolve partial. We agree that it is heavy 
handed but it is the only mechanism provided by RFC 2616. We will 
amplify the note regarding possible damaging effects of using it - at 
present this notes that WAP gateways may mis-operate in its presence
- In respect of LC-2360, resolve no. The document specifies a SHOULD for 
validation, so this should not be an issue, we think.

Thanks,
Francois.

Administrative Arrangements

    <francois> [10]BPWG's charter

      [10] http://www.w3.org/2008/06/MWBP-WG-charter.html

    francois: the group was extended until the end of June 2010. There
    was an official announcement, the charter of the WG (linked from
    home page of WG) shows the end date.
    ... Jo, you have been reappointed as co-chair of MWBPG
    ... We're back to normal.

    jo: I left .mobi and therefore the W3C on 14.12.2009, prior to doing
    that I made arrangements (effected by Francois) to be appointed an
    invited expert
    ... so have been reappointed as chair. I'm a different chair this
    year.

    <brucel> slightly better padded?

    jo: We're effectively back to where we are, but I no longer
    represent dot mobi
    ... We took a resolution last year that calls should be an hour
    long, and we're thinking of dropping the frequency of them (with a
    certain set of deliverables)
    ... At the F2F we sketched out a timetable for delivering
    deliverables.

    <francois> [11]schedule for 2010

      [11] 
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AaebQqOaNtbYZGQzams4dl8xNjVwejVrMjhndw&hl=en

    jo: We want to get everything done by mid-Feb, then wait for stuff
    to come through.
    ... With no call last week, we're already behind.

    francois: the focus of the group is on MWABP, but we don't expect to
    spend much time on it. The second focus is on CT where we still have
    a lot of work - the test suite, issuing another last call (and
    replying to comments). Expect more work on CT than MWABP, which
    should just move forwards.

Mobile Web Application Best Practices

    Jo: Don't see Adam here, so not sure we can do anything. Francois?

    francois: I agree.

    jo: postpone til next week then.

CT Guidelines

    jo: Timetable says a new draft would be available today, but it
    isn't. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that in the next
    week, looking at my schedule.
    ... Eduardo, you expressed a non-lack-of-resistance to the idea of
    doing some editing
    ... Will it be time-effective for me to hand that over to you, or
    quicker for me to Just Do It?
    ... It's probably 3-4h work for me to do, 2h for me to hand over.

    EdC: I have the same misgivings as you, but if you could start and
    then run the risk of not completing, you could consider sending me
    the document with an indication of what's missing and let me try to
    do something with it.

    jo: what's needed is to go through resolutions from the last f2f on
    changes we agreed as last-call comments....
    ... you'll need to learn to edit in XMLSpec which is a wonderful
    invention by the W3C. It's not hard, not not trivial either.
    ... I'll try and do this in the next 2 weeks, and if I can't, I'll
    call on you.

    EdC: That's fine. We should clear up the late comments...

    jo: moving onto comments...

    jo: francois has already answered these for us ;)

    <francois> [14]LC-2358

      [14] 
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/2358

    <jo> "Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies"

    jo: As Francois has pointed out, we've already discussed title
    changes and decided that we can't be clear we are talking about
    mobile here.

    francois: Yes. We tried many titles, none of which were fantastic.
    It's not the first time that people have read the spec and expected
    something broader...
    ... most of the guidelines are about transformation for mobile
    delivery, so it might make sense to update the title.
    ... I have no strong opinion on this.
    ... There's just One Web, right?

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: In respect of LC-2358 resolve no, we
    understand the point but have debated this at length previously and
    this is the best title we could think of

    +1

    <francois> +1

    seanp: I have trouble rememberign the current title, if it gets
    longer no-one will be able to remember or say it.

    francois: then we can get an acronym!

    <SeanP> +1

    <jo> +1

    <EdC> I believe the introduction makes things clear.

    <EdC> +1

    jo: objections?

    RESOLUTION: In respect of LC-2358 resolve no, we understand the

    jo: next up is LC-2359

    <francois> [15]LC-2359

      [15] 
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/2359

    tom: this is something we've spoken about before - HTTP signalling
    different sorts of transformations on and off is a limitation we
    have noted but can't do anything about here.

    jo: I agree partially, we can amplify the note that already exists
    here (around WAP gateways not working).
    ... objections?

    <DKA> Apologies to all for arriving late for our first call of the
    new year.

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: In respect of LC-2359, resolve partial. We
    agree that it is heavy handed but it is the only mechanism provided
    by RFC 2616. We will amplify the note regarding possible damaging
    effects of using it - at present this notes that WAP gateways may
    mis-operate in its presence

    +1

    <jo> +1

    <francois> +1

    <DKA> +1

    <SeanP> +1

    <miguel> +1

    <brucel> concur

    objections?

    <francois> [16]LC-2360

      [16] 
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20091006/2360

    <EdC> That is again the issue of validation (SHOULD) and
    well-formedness (MUST).

    jo: this is about introducing ARIA attributes with accessibility. I
    agree with Francois that this is a SHOULD, so no changes are
    required.

    <EdC> Yes.

    <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: In respect of LC-2360, resolve no. The
    document specifies a SHOULD for validation, so this should not be an
    issue, we think

    skype hang

    back in the room...

    <jo> +1

    <SeanP> +1

    <EdC> +1

    <brucel> no objections

    RESOLUTION: In respect of LC-2360, resolve no. The document

    we think

AOB

    jo: anything else?

    <brucel> hang loose and be groovy. Bye.

    byeee

    <DKA> ahoy

    <SeanP> bye

    <jo> thanks tomhume for scribing
