Re: [Minutes] 2015-06-15 Digital Publishing Interest Group Teleconference

Julie,

With Webex it is now quite difficult to track who is present.

Therefore, each participant should type present+ <name> in the irc 
channel immediately upon joining the call

Please refer to
- my earlier email and put in IRC present+ Julie Morris when joining.
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-digipub-ig/2015Jun/0018.html

- the WebEx instructions in the wiki:
http://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/WebEx

- See also Web Ex Best Practices Wiki page
https://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/WebExBestPractices

Therfore, please type in IRC "present+ Julie Morris" when joining the call.

If you can't connect simultaniouslly to IRC, just ask the scribe or the 
chair to add your name upon joining the call.

Meanwhile, I have added your name to today's minutes.

Best,
Thierry

>         scribe: we have one comment so far, from clapierre
>         ... we like that comment
>         ... Last Friday, I began to contact people in browser community
>         ... to get comments from that corner, no results yet.
>         ... important for all of us in member companies to give
>         comments
>         ... tell us where we're wrong, if things should be different
>         ... and positive comments are good, too
>         ... I don't know when we go for formal AC vote

>         ... Does Ralph have anything to add?
>
>         Ralph: Nope.
>
>         mgylling: is the absence of comments a problem?
>
>         ivan: at this stage, no
>         ... when we get to the formal vote
>         ... then we need 5% of the membership, which is 19 members,
>         need to approve
>         ... if we don't get the five percent, then we have unpleasant
>         discussions with management
>
>         mgylling: for those of us who are not AC reps, we have been
>         given work: nudge our AC rep into making comments on the draft
>         ... what really matters is being able to rally votes when it
>         counts.
>
>         ivan: mid-July, probably
>
>         Ralph: that could be realistic
>
>         mgylling: the time of year when people are hardest to rally
>
>         ivan: we could have a longer voting period
>
>         Thierry: we need comments now; so we can change things
>         ... in later stages, we don't want to change
>
>         mgylling: moving on
>
>     TPAC
>
>         mgylling: time to register for TPAC
>         ... registering early makes w3c staff happy
>         ... we do yet know how many IG members will be there

>         brady_duga: I'm coming, but only for this meeting
>         ... if it's not going to happen I'd need to know
>
>         ivan: anyone who's sure now should register
>
>         mgylling: anyone sure they won't be going
>
>         tzviya: we did do a survey before we filled out room request
>         ... lots of people said they were coming
>
>         ivan: we should set up the F2F wiki page now
>
>         mgylling: who sets up the wiki?
>
>         ivan: any of us

>         Markus: "on to today's main topic: There is a misconception

>         Ivan: "The observation goes that somehow there were people with
>         the impression that there are no open issues for CSS features
>         needed by this community. To be self-critical, we have not
>         publishes very often any documents on this. That is why we
>         thought to have this topic - to have a better view of what
>         else, beyond pagination, are the things that CSS should
>         provide, but does not. We all know
>
>         Pagination is a major issue, but what else is there?"
>
>         Dave: "I would mention that I only started the WIKI page this
>         morning, and I included pagination, even though it didn't seem
>         necessary. I tried to categorize things logically. Foundations,
>         typography,..."
>         ... "I'm not quite sure how we'd want to discuss this: One sad
>         observation is that many of the things mentioned here have been
>         in CSS drafts (and some were removed - due to at risk from no
>         implementations)"
>
>         Ivan: "Looking at the list - there is a reference here on GRID.
>         The way I understand it is that there are loads of modules in
>         CSS3. I don't see from this list a kind of categorization -
>         something saying 'this is what we need, but it's not a
>         standard' or 'it's not what we need and here's where' or 'this
>         is almost what we need but here's what's different'. In terms
>         of functionality as well as
>
>         evolution in the working group life. "
>
>         Dave: "Agreed. There are some things that the spec is nice, but
>         it hasn't been implemented. Some things that aren't fully there
>         yet, some things that haven't been spec'd at all..."
>
>         Ivan: "For each bullet item we need to add the grid of where
>         things are."
>
>         Markus: "Your typography section sits well with me because it
>         describes things from a publisher's perspective which is very
>         important. When you say in pagination 'GCPM' what does that
>         mean? Everything in GCPM? If we could have the first column
>         similar to what you have in typography, that would be a great
>         short-description of what a publisher might need."
>
>         <astearns> sorry - can't seem to get it to work
>
>         Dave: "GCPM handles cross-reference, but it hasn't been
>         implemented by the browser."
>
>         Tzviya: "It's great that certain things exists in the spec, but
>         if it hasn't been implemented, then it's important to elevate
>         it to Houdini or something else to ensure that it is handled."
>
>         Markus: "As a side-note, we need to keep in mind the potential
>         accessibility repurcussions. There is a potential accessibility
>         hazard there. I believe that WCAG 2 says that we shouldn't be
>         using this for things beyond decoration."
>
>         <liam> [wcag restriction on generated content may also come
>         from issue of fallback for when there's no CSS]
>
>         Dave: "The main accessability issue is that there are bugs
>         where content may not be selectable. That might be something to
>         add to this list - is better generated content for
>         accessibility/implementation."
>
>         Alan: "Initial intent was decoration, but it's now used for
>         content as well, as content is used as a decoration and not
>         actual content."
>         ... "I agree that we need to have an evalution of all these
>         things. Where are they - are they usable? I am a bit too close
>         to give things a realistic view. And there are some issues in
>         translation - typographical features that work great for fixed
>         layout (printing) but when we add them to the web, which is
>         reflowable, where quite a lot more needs to be automated by the
>         browser. So much is
>
>         <scribe> done by hand. There is something in the CSS-line that
>         defines how the boxes get put into the grid - it's something
>         publishing does by hand. While the first section of the
>         LINEGRID module is good, the 2nd section isn't there yet."
>         ...: "We should also be able to access alternate glyphs. I'm
>         not sure there is a good way of doing that on the web. "
>
>         Dave: "Prince do have extensions that do that - although they
>         may not be useful..."
>
>         Markus: "In terms of appending to this table - there are quite
>         a few of us, that would want to add their favorite missing
>         features into the table. I would like to announce and open
>         period of time where we should invade Dave's work. And add
>         anything - it's OK if it is incomplete, we can work to fill it
>         in. We haven't talked about prioritization - but that tends to
>         be quite messy. Let us wait
>
>         until the table starts to mature then we can determine the best

>
>         Ivan: "I was wondering - how to start doing that - to help out
>         dave. "
>
>         Dave: "it would help to get more things for the list.
>         Collecting ideas is the hard part."
>
>         Ivan: "I have specific questions - what I don't see here is
>         about control over fonts - in some sense, what alan was
>         referring to. Are the features to control fonts and how fonts
>         are used - are they already satisfactory for this community?
>         ... "Maybe vlad is in position."
>
>         <astearns> need wider implementation of: font-feature-settings,
>         subsetting, font loading events...
>
>         <liam> +1 to lack of access to actual stylistic variant fonts
>
>         Dave: "I know that I've run into CSS's classification of font
>         properties - does not come close to covering the range of
>         features that existing fonts have. One example is Adobe has
>         many optical weights (captions, subheads) which CSS has no
>         notion of that"
>         ... "some font familys have 160 different fonts to the family.
>         CSS is not up to that challenge."
>         ... "8 or nine wieghts, optical properties,
>         so-on-and-so-forth."
>
>         Tzviya: "By linking to the existing modules that are relevant,
>         you've pretty much covered all of our priorities?"
>
>         Dave: "yes, it needs to be done at a more gradual level."
>
>         Markus: "We should be noting atomic uses, not just high-level."
>
>         Tzviya: "Homework is to go through the modules and say: 'we
>         need this' etc"
>
>         <Zakim> mgylling, you wanted to not forget to mention CJK
>
>         Markus: "One thing we owe it to China/Japan/Korea to do is to
>         get something well versed in their typographical needs, to add
>         whatever is needed there. Now that we have atenna house in the
>         IG, that shouldn't be a problem, but it strikes me that what we
>         have in the epub3 CSS profile is a number of vendor-prefix
>         properties built on top of CSS context. All of these things are
>         used for all epubs in
>
>         those regions, and they represent items that are missing from
>         CSS. We can go through that list and pick out features that

>         Markus: "Such as vertical centering, Who from antenna house is

>         Markus: "We really need a good list of features from a japanese

>
>         Ivan: "A similar question for fonts - Are publishers happy with
>         the control of Color? It's improved with HSL and the A
>         parameter - which is great compared to old CSS. Maybe alan
>         knows - is it possible to express very precise colors?"
>         ... "If not, is it something publishers need?"

>
>         Dave: "I'm also wondering if - one possibility - is to keep the
>         wiki page in a "listy-texty" format so that we do tables

>         ... "use the wiki as the funnel. People who are comfortable

>
>         Ivan: "Probably, we should look at what the other groups are
