MINUTES W3C I18n GEO Phone Conference 6 August 2003 Info Share ========== Phil briefly summarised his impression of IWIPS conference in Berlin, mixture of advanced and not advanced people - lot of software presns - I18n focus - very interesting talk from Adobe: went to Japan, issues about text layout etc. FAQs =========== Review and comments made on Andrew's contribution. [published next day] http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-css-lang.html First discussion of Martin's contribution. http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-2or3.html. Testing ============ We agreed on a set of baseline browser versions/platforms for use when describing applicability of techniques found in the guidelines. We will only systematically test applicability to the baseline browsers or significant later versions. The baseline versions are as follows: Internet Explorer / Windows v6 Internet Explorer / Mac v5 Netscape Navigator v7 Opera v7 Mozilla v1.0 Safari version tbd These were all chosen because they provide standards compliance. We should test in standards mode where the browser distinguishes between standards and quirks modes. (ie. Using a DOCTYPE, and in the case of IE/Win without an xml declaration). We may still refer to important quirks with older browsers in the ua-issues section of the XML. Richard has put together a couple of test pages [see http://www.w3.org/International/tests/ ], and has talked briefly with Bert about integration with the CSS test suite. We need to study the CSS test suite guidelines [http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/testsuitedocumentation.html ] and explore this further. We should also talk with the HTML group.
