<fhirsch> Dom did earlier comparison
<fhirsch> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2009Jul/0015.html
FH: questions to the policy
... do we want features and capabilities?
... BONDI has both
... hierarchies of the features
<dtran> Still unclear the differences
FH: discussion needed about features and capabilities
<Bryan> Bryan will help out there
<brianleroux> capability; something the device can do (has a camera). features: camera api
<darobin> ack
FH: any volunteers to compare capabilities and features?
<dtran> So for a certain client, that camera api might not be implemented because the client does not have the capability

RB: it is about messaging, coverage. Is it clearer, Richard?
RT: what is the concept of the ubiquitos Web?
... should telephony/SMS be included?
RB: ubiquitos means "it runs everywhere"
... screens in watches, urinals are also Web
<dtran> yes, telephony/SMS should be
RB: capabilities of the device are important
... ubiquitos and not capable do not necessarily clash
... the existing messaging proposals (Nokia, BONDI etc) may suggest want we need
... messaging must be able to address different transports, capabilities and related details
... emails need attachments, differences may suggest the design
BS: the goal of ubiquitos Web is to address potential environment, awareness, context

issue-5?
<trackbot> ISSUE-5 -- Gathering requirements -- OPEN
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/issues/5
issue-5 is Application Configuration
Arve: we probably drop the AppConfig from the deliverables
MH: BONDI considers dropping AppConfig once A&E and Storage specs are ready
BS: we need some local storage. If it is HTML5 or widget context, it shall be enough. We should not leave it to the other groups.
RB: DAP does not specify what HTML-X browser shall support
... we just re-use other specification.
BS: it is important to address the related requirements
<darobin> http://www.w3.org/TR/webstorage/
RB: W3C already takes care
BS: we should not confuse people, requirements document should specify that AppConfig is not in the scope of DAP, if it is the fact
Arve: then we should specify the same for other specs, like e.g. Geolocation. We do not do this on purpose.
BS: it should be documented what was NOT done
RB: the APIs are independent
... where should we document that?
BS: in the Scope section of the documents
... rationale should be documented
RB: should we publish a note about why something was dropped?
BS: my point is: we are silent upon some important aspects
Arve: we are not silent, other specification resolve the problems
<dom> the resolution should document clearly why we drop the item, and be put on the issue's tracker
<darobin> +1
BS: we should not stay silent
Kangchan: I agree, I propose to make a primer document that would clarify the scope of DAP.
RB: people are welcome non-normative docs/primers
... we are heading for many specs, we need editors.
... the docs should be put into CVS for further discussion
FH: what is wrong with the note in the document?
RB: we never published a req document
... if we reach consensus on concise req docs, we would result in better specs
Arve: what about an umbrella requirements document?
<darobin> ISSUE: Should we have an umbrella requirements document?
<trackbot> Created ISSUE-22 - Should we have an umbrella requirements document? ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/issues/22/edit .
<darobin> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Drop the work item on AppConfig; discuss on list whether and where to document that as part of ISSUE-22
<darobin> RESOLUTION: Drop the work item on AppConfig; discuss on list whether and where to document that as part of ISSUE-22
no objection to the resolution
RB: no further reqs
... do we do action/issue review?
FH: no need now
RB: AOB
No AOBs.
Kangchan: in Korea there will be a device API related workshop tomorrow
... we will have phonegap and similar inputs
RB: feedback from the meeting will be welcome
No AOBs.
<darobin> ADJOURNED
