RE: Reference Checker

Yes, Sounds good, 

 

I think it would be good if we did some light-weight specification of
the scope e.g. that we are building a bunch of Java classes rather than
an HTTP accessible API, for example and draft up an outline
requirements. Including Nacho, are we sure that everyone we'd like to
include is on this list?

 

Having done that bit of scoping I do think it would be useful to get
together, travel budgets permitting. And as I mentioned before, dotMobi
would be pleased to host in Dublin, which I suppose would technically be
a F2F of the BPWG (with agenda limited to this topic) plus other invited
observers? And so needs a minimum period of notice of ... to conform to
all the relevant protocols? Or would it be an editorial meeting of the
putative editors of the relevant document, in which case I think there
is a less stringent requirement on notice periods?

 

James tells me that we could make this coincide with MoMo Dublin
inaugural event, if that holds any appeal!

 

Cheers

Sure - send it around. Sounds like great work so far.

Yes, I really want to have at least a partial, beta implementation by
the time the final recommendation is published. I think it's crucial to
take advantage of the attention that it will generate in order to
publicize the updated checker. 

Dom's set up a mailing list to discuss this:
public-mobileok-checker@w3..org <mailto:public-mobileok-checker@w3.org>
(CCed). Nacho also expressed interest in getting involved later.

I am happy to drive this process as much as is desirable. I have put
together the basic framework for the tests in a proof-of-concept and am
experimenting with implementing a test or two. Next steps would be to
review this part amongst all interested parties, then implement the
tests -- and that's the point where I think reusing some of what dotMobi
has done will be very useful. Then we refine it as much as we can and
put together some reasonable update to Dom's checker web application
based on this code for the mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0 release.

I won't be at 3GSM and it may be a little hard to make an excuse to get
to our London office soon, but it's possible. I agree that this should
be open to anyone who's interested and I the only other person who spoke
up so far was Nacho. 

Dom suggested we can run the project off of dev.w3.org which seems
appropriate.

Before anything's added to CVS, how about I send around the code I have
so far? I realize that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves to look at
code but it codifies what I'd like to do with this reference
implementation. We can arrange a conference call to discuss then?

Hi Sean

 

We (dotMobi) very keen to kick off the process on this. And although I
guess it is charter 2 work, we're keen to start now with scoping
discussions etc. If you think this is a good idea, do you want to make a
trip to Dublin some time not too long after 3GSM? Who should also come?
Potentially this needs to be an open invite to the BPWG if it is part of
the 'official' work track.

 

Cheers

Jo
