[W3C AB project synch and consistency] Take away from our call

Dear all,

Here is a summary of what has been discussed during our call. This does not replace the minutes, but just extract the concept, the actions we have been mentioning. I will update the wiki with this material.

* What is the benefit of having the AB project about synchronization and consistency ?
Share information across W3C communities (members, chairs, editors, contributors, web developers, ...)
Ease evangelization about W3C value
Get wider reviews

* Imperative requirements
Make sure all stay archived persistently and publicly available
Automate as much as possible (in other words, do not overload people with never ending improductive cross review calls)
Make sure collected data is reliable (in other words, don't let the WG invent/feed metadata freely, it will/has fail)

* Solutions relying on human interactions
Create effective liaisons with WG/groups interested in specific work (eg W3C/WhatWG, or cross WG)
Animate web developers chapters where information is shared
Generate domain call (on purpose, when something important happening)

* Solutions requiring tools
Create dashboard showing W3C activities (a la github, or higher level)
Have a news feed
Push information on Mailing Lists
Create a software extracting valuable information from github/tracker/bugzilla/...

* About the type of information/metadata expected
Feature, market, abstract, interaction,


* Possible actions
Visit the past (what worked, what did not) -> please share your experience, if not done already
Collect existing tools (gihub usage, dashboard use cases, mailing list for communication work progress) -> all on the wiki
Interview people involved in information spreading (Ian J) -> virginie volunteers
Interview system for tool improvement (Ted G) -> virginie volunteers
Interview IG chair/staff who experience the actual collection of information across W3C -> give recommendation !
Interview W3C members having effective management of cross-WG information -> give name !

* Working method for the coming months
By mail and wiki
Call on demand

* next step
Collect all material and ideas, by all :)


Any volunteer for any specific task ?
Anything to add or direct reaction to that take away ?

Regards,
Virginie
