RESOLUTION: Minutes 20 April 2011 approved
darobin: I made quite many updates to the doc
... but did not commit them to the CVS
... and killed the laptop, will fetch them from a backup and commit but it'll take some time due to unfortunate events
Suresh: I have not yet done edits
... so that we don't need to resolve CVS conflicts manually
nwidell: about the SSID
... there's a one use case for SSID: find if you're on your home network
<dom> (you could detect that by making an HTTP request to your home server?)
darobin: as dom notes, an HTTP request should do
nwidell: we had the same use case for a JSR a few years ago
... but dom's proposal solved this
darobin: there are privacy issues in exposing SSID, would need user's explicit concent, makes UX cumbersome
... another thing is that SSID may leak too much info, such as that you are at a specific airport
nwidell: ok, I'm fine as it stands
darobin: the issue is documented in the draft
dom: we started a thread with the HTML WG
... how to move forward with the capture attribute to see if any type of hint is useful
... no consensus yet
<darobin> feedback
darobin: a number of feedback items from Mohamed
... anyone planning to bake these in the spec?
Suresh: if richt is not planning to edit, I will
... I can take a look at the comments and work on them
darobin: many of the comments are editorial in nature
... should not be a huge issue to address them
... helpful editorial comments, overall
... it would be good if you could take the ball on this so that richt can focus on Contacts
darobin: any other API topics?
<darobin> ACTION-352?
<trackbot> ACTION-352 -- Robin Berjon to find out where <device> went -- due 2011-03-22 -- PENDINGREVIEW
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/352
<darobin> http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/video-conferencing-and-peer-to-peer-communication.html -> getUserMedia
darobin: in the latest WHATWG draft there's getUserMedia()
... which essentially replaces <device> element
... it is a rather interesting thing to look at to contract against the Capture API
