<darobin> current charter

RESOLUTION: Minutes from 15-16 March 2011 F2F are approved

Charter

<darobin> ongoing draft charter

<fjh> Current charter, http://www.w3.org/2009/05/DeviceAPICharter.html

<fjh> Proposed charter, http://www.w3.org/2010/11/DeviceAPICharter.html

<fjh> proposed additions, see #2 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2011Mar/0112.html

Web introducer : there is an IPR problem to be in a charter

need to discuss the web introducer, the charter should be proposed to W3C for end of april

<fjh> we are running out of time, really need to have draft charter from WG in mid april. decision needed

<fjh> probably cannot include in charter if no participation due to IPR concerns

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2011Mar/0112.html

agreed to remove communication log during f2f

<fjh> also agreed user interaction - vibration, beeps, menus, broken up into separate items

charter has to be changed in that sense

<fjh> Issue remains to narrow discovery topic or we won't be able to put in charter

<fjh> Robin is looking at this and joined home networking task force

the task force started yesterday

have to be precise about what we want, web introducer different from other discovery use cases

<fjh> Claes is talking with Google and will remind them of urgency of joining WG

<fjh> Anssi mentions concern of maintaining focus of DAP wg

a simple discovery mechanism should be the solution, on TV: electroni Program guide, etc. discovery is generic

coupling between APi, should be protocol agnostic

we should make sure it does map to "real world" protocols, even decoupled

<fjh> privacy and the charter ->

<fjh> add explicit deliverable for privacy REC deliverable with note that this might be taken over by another group

<fjh> add explicit deliverable for privacy use cases and requirements NOTE

<AnssiK> if the discovery API will get into the revised Charter I'd like to see it loosely coupled from any underlying discovery protocols

have to figure out with gallery

<fjh> sense we can keep it in charter and later not progress if not needed

App Launcher replaced by web intent..

<fjh> WG has decided not to have app launcher listed in charter

<fjh> We need to clarify status of Web Introducer and I believe web Intents in order to have a charter item in this area.

Editorial status

we need to make progress on publication

web notification Working group concerned or not,..

<darobin> ACTION: Robin to bring a Capabilities Container proposal to the WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/03/30-dap-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-377 - Bring a Capabilities Container proposal to the WG [on Robin Berjon - due 2011-04-06].

Container discussion : there are also discussions about installed web apps

hard to say about what it does: so need for code examples...

are there challenges on this, face to existing apis.

need some feedbacks, on proposals, from implmentors

<fjh> we need a proposal on the list so WG members can understand

need to see what the browsers already do : can send a link on this

<fjh> Note, clarification of Permissions charter item to include containers might be appropriate for charter draft

the notion of permissions with user dialog , need to be trusted by the user

with proper permissions

Battery Status Event Spec

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2011Mar/0122.html

<nwidell> sorry need to drop off

<fjh> request for implementer feedback to see if this works and should be progressed as drafted

inspired by device orientation

do we have a guaranty to handle immediately when desired ?

this is undefined, will be fired when

up to the implementation for device orientation

for battery level this is less critical

darobin: device orientation, only to the window object

battery status of other device : no text to say that it only applys to wndow

if you have a camera separated to the laptop, for example/

ok

<darobin> robin: problem 1) need guarantee that it triggers the callback immediately upon handler registration, 2) should not be limited to applying to window

remove the limitation that is on device orientation for the battery

next steps start with that one

<fjh> Anssi will produce draft battery status even spec using ReSpec

<fjh> ACTION-358?

<trackbot> ACTION-358 -- Anssi Kostiainen to provide first editors draft of a Battery status API -- due 2011-03-23 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/358

<darobin> this relates to ACTION-358

<fjh> ACTION-358: problem 1) need guarantee that it triggers the callback immediately upon handler registration, 2) should not be limited to applying to window

<trackbot> ACTION-358 Provide first editors draft of a Battery status API notes added
