Re: W3C Conversational Interfaces CG Meeting 2

Hi Sujay,

Glad to have you on board again!

The last major activity was in November with the publication of the DM
Script [1] report and then on-going demos [2] that showcase DM Script on
the browser.

I agree that we need to revive meetings to occur once a quarter instead of
twice a year. How about next week or early March - is there a day that
works best for you?

Open items include:
* Add "Export to DMPL" and "Import from DMPL" [3] options to open-source
authoring tools such as Twine [4]
* Add more DM Script demos to the scratchpad [2]
* Establish visualization best-practices for dialogue flow. What's the
standard "UML" diagram for visualizing a chatbot's decision making?
* Establish inter-bot communication protocols (managing a federation of
bots/skills). What meta-data should every chatbot skill come packaged with,
so that it can live in harmony in a large bank of skills.
* Establish a declarative language for defining high-utility vs.
low-utility situations. We've started some initial unfinished work [5].
