Hi Chris, group. On 22 May 2012, at 18:27, Chris Wilson wrote: > One item I'd like added to the agenda - or it can be done in email prior. I just wanted an update of the effort to add MIDI to the charter. I want to be sure to work the time to actually edit the spec in to my plan when it's appropriate. :) I have actually been the bottleneck on this, my apologies. As far as I can tell, the new charter is almost ready, and we mostly need to agree on milestones. It is of course nearly impossible to "plan" a standard (when all factors - scope, effort, speed - can vary wildly) but we are asked to give a rough estimate when we expect our deliverables to reach certain maturity steps: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#maturity-levels As a strawman proposal, we could go with something along those lines: * Web Audio API * FPWD: Dec 2011 LC: Q3 2012 CR: Q1 2013 PR: Q2 2013 REC: Q2 2013 * MIDI API * FPWD: Q2 2012 LC: Q3 2012 CR: Q1 2013 PR: Q2 2013 REC: Q2 2013 This would mean that in a year from now, we'd have the two specifications reach significant consensus in the group, we'd have organised their review, created their test suites and tested implementations. It does not sound completely unreasonable, although I'll admit to worrying about the complexity of testing our specs. Feedback welcome on these rough estimates, both from editors and group members. I'll make some space for a discussion on it at our call today. Olivier
