Fjh: Wants policy req and ruleset as WD simultaneously
... still some actions on Alissa and John on priv reqs

<fjh> alissa asks if we need to clarify rulesets before FPWD of policy rulesets

<fjh> I suggest we try to have FPWD of both privacy requirements and policy rulesets at same time, ask that focus now on actions related to privacy requiremetns

APIs

Dom: Wants not to bundle policy reqs and rule set

<fjh> goal is to let people know of rulesets and approach

Dom: suggests to publich privacy reqs when done

fjh: Wants to get peoples attention and feedback

<darobin> [feedback from the TAG?]

<fjh> dom suggests getting feedback from html cg, webapps and internally in WG first before FPWD

<fjh> dom notes requirements doc can link to rulesets doc

fjh: Have a problem with publish a req doc with issues and no proposal for a solution.
... Focus more on privacy doc

<fjh> alissa notes need stated requirements on retention, secondary use

Messaging

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010Apr/0069.html

<dom> Last week discussions on messaging

Discussion on publishing

<Zakim> dom, you wanted to say he doesn't think we've addressed his concern about scoping

Darobin: Suggest moving Messaging to FPWD

<dom> ACTION-161?

<trackbot> ACTION-161 -- Max Froumentin to make a proposal for Message Management, including whether it would be split from the main spec or not -- due 2010-04-21 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/161

<fjh> suresh asks about supporting inspection, is it the same as message management

<fjh> robin notes yes

Suresh: Message (folder) managment to be included before FPWD?

Suresh suggests that we should wait until Max has made a proposal for message management.

<fjh> s/fjh: Topic APIs//

Max: Ok

Daniel: Feedback from Bondi: Decided to merge messaging API and folder management.

<darobin> ACTION daniel to email the list explaining the differences between the successive BONDI approaches to messaging, and why the functionality got merged into a single API

<trackbot> Created ACTION-164 - Email the list explaining the differences between the successive BONDI approaches to messaging, and why the functionality got merged into a single API [on Daniel Coloma - due 2010-04-28].

<fjh> Timezoned dates - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010Apr/0051.html

Calendar Time zones and dates

<dom> (I prefer solution #2 in Richard's summary, but then, that's my proposal :) )

<fjh> didn't we decide earlier that we wanted to be REST compatible in our APIs?

Rich: Two proposals. Need decsion. Blocking cal API.
... Needs feedback on preferred solution.

<dom> [this relates to ISSUE-81]

<dom> (there is more than end and start; recurrence rules, for instance)

<dom> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010Mar/0206.html

Rich: 3rd option, Rich can you state this in IRC?

<darobin> [I agree with Dom's feedback on this one]

<Zakim> dom, you wanted to say we should strive to make developers' life easier, rather than implementers or ourselves

<Suresh> Suresh: A 3rd proposal would be to specify a tz attribute in the Event interface

Dom: We should make a solution that is easier for developers

<darobin> "In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity."

<darobin>

Rich: Provide feedback on list

fjh: Implications on a RESTful approach?

Darobin: Not a big deal

<dom> (and bring it to public-script-coord as well)

Darobin: Suggest put a draft up wth option 2 and get feedbac

<dom> public-script-coord@w3.org Mail Archives

<darobin> ACTION Robin to take the TZDate discussion to public-script-coord

<trackbot> Created ACTION-165 - Take the TZDate discussion to public-script-coord [on Robin Berjon - due 2010-04-28].

<dom> ACTION-163?

<trackbot> ACTION-163 -- Robin Berjon to email i18n about the various options for calendaring -- due 2010-04-21 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/163

Blocking factors for Cal is timezone issues and internatioization (Gregorian etc)

File Writer

<dom> storage for Web APIs

Dom: Long disc in Web Apps on storage for web apps. Also aplicable for File Writer.

<richt> [calendar] My understanding is that blocking for calendar API is TimezonedDate object, expressing i18n dates/times and fixing the recurrence model

Darobin

<richt> [calendar] non-blocking issue is to address minimization in the draft

<fjh> Thanks for scribing Claes.
