Use Cases
kcoyle: WGs always start with use cases. We need use cases
… it's advised that these UCs be real, something you're doing
or attempting to do
… We have set up a wiki page
<kcoyle> [11]https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/wiki/
Use_Case_Working_Space
[11] https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/wiki/Use_Case_Working_Space
kcoyle: Need to know who you are, if it pertains to specific
deliverables. Links to documents and projects are good. And
what requirements arise from these.
… The UCs will be discussed by the WG and accepted or not
… And a Use Case document will be part of our deliverables
… This means that we need one or more editors for the Use Cases
and Requirements Document (UCR)
… Make sense of the UCs, do the formatting etc.
… There are people here who have expereince of how this works -
help is at hand
… It would be good if we could have a volunteer early
… The UCR doc is one of the easier editing jobs you can havea
in a WG. If you don't expect to be an editor in one of the
primary docs, this is a good one to do.
… Please let us know, post to the list etc.
… It would be good to have a good body of use cases before the
next meeting
… It sounds as if people already have quite a bit to say
Caroline_: Just to add - some people are new, so if you are an
editor, it doesn't mean you can't also edit anotehr doc
kcoyle: We won't stop you doing more work
<Caroline_> to get into the queue type q+
<Caroline_> phila: IRC is very important :)
Jaroslav_Pullmann: What is the gathering process. Edit the
wiki?
kcoyle: Yes, please just add to the wiki page
kcoyle: That wiki page is a draft area
<alejandra_> question: can we all edit the wiki page?
Caroline_: 2 things - the wiki page is editable by everyone in
the WG
Caroline_: Also, Karen and I will always post the agenda for
each meeting at least 24 hours ahead of the meeting. You can
always send us agenda items
<kcoyle> ?
annette_g: Should we try and focus use cases towards specific
tasks
kcoyle: I wish I could answer that definitively. I think most
UCs might tend towards one task, but it may pertain to all
three.
Regular meeting slot
kcoyle: We have had a discussion about this on e-mail.
… Simon you wanted to make a case for a meeting time?
SimonCox: I think Andrea also supported ... with such a
distribution, it's hard to get a time that suits everyone
<AndreaPerego> +1
(California to New Zealand)
SimonCox: If people in Europe are willing to work in the
evening (before midnight), Australisia can get up earlier
<Zakim> RubenVerborgh, you wanted to propose a simple Doodle
SimonCox: I suggest 20:00 UTC is probably the only choice

RubenVerborgh: Why don't we do a big Doodle
kcoyle: I assume we'll do another Doodle
<alejandra_> can someone send a link to documentation for IRC ,
please?
<Zakim> annette_g, you wanted to make a suggestion
<SimonCox> Don't like alternating :-(
I wwas going to propose alternate times
<SimonCox> Lose momentum, no predictability
<RubenVerborgh> also, if we split into subgroups, might not be
too much of a problem?
<RubenVerborgh> so maybe good to discuss that early on?
<Makx> I just created a use case. Is that the way to do it?
<kcoyle> ?
<Makx> [13]https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/wiki/
Use_Case_Working_Space
[13] https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/wiki/Use_Case_Working_Space
ericstephan: I was just going to agree with Annette on
alternating times
ericstephan: The concern is that it splits the group
<AndreaPerego> Same concern here.
Caroline_: I think Eric said something important and I was
going to say something similar. We can meet at 2 different
times, 20:00 UTC is one of the times, anotehr s the one we have
met today
… Then it's important that we decide the dates already
… Maybe next week we meet at 20:00 UTC and then back to this
time
… But we need to have a regular pattern so people can plan.
SimonCox: I will say that alternating times are bad. It always
splits the group.
SimonCox: I think it's likely that we'll split into multiple
parallel groups anda then the possibility is that the sub
groups will find it easier to schedule meetings
phila: +1 to Simon
<AndreaPerego> +1 to SimonCox
<Makx> I don't have a problems with 2000UTC
<Caroline_> +1 to I don't have a problems with 2000UTC
kcoyle: We haven't talked about how we'll organise ourselves
but as Simon says, it's likely we'll have sub groups.
kcoyle: Any more questions on the use cases?
Jaroslav_Pullmann: Who is the contact to get the UCs consistent
kcoyle: The WG really does need to agree to the UCs
<SimonCox> Re questions: best if all mail goes to group email
reflector - transparency, record-keeping
<SimonCox> +1 to Caroline_
Jaroslav_Pullmann: What I saw with other groups, was the need
to cluster the use cases - to make UCs comparable and to be
able to elaborate
kcoyle: That's what the editor(s) will do
<Zakim> Caroline_, you wanted to add the importance of always
writing to the mailing list
Caroline_: It is important to always communicate via the
mailing list
… This might be frightening for some people - it was for me at
first - but it's the only way to keep the conversation going
and people involved
SimonCox: I presume the assumption is that we'll be using the
Issue tracker and Actions?
<RubenVerborgh> Added 2 use cases as well.
SimonCox: But I'll note that we've got tangled up with GH
Issues. Some issues are in both places, some only in one.
… I think the WWG needs to establish a plan
kcoyle: Yes, we'll need to decide which to use.
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about ReSpec adn GH
<RubenVerborgh> You can link commit/pull request to issue by
including "Closes #37" in the commit message's extended info.
<Zakim> RubenVerborgh, you wanted to ask what the advantage of
the actions tracker is
<Caroline_> phila: Github doesn't have an action tracker the
same way IRC has
kcoyle: Thanks everyone for joining today. We will resolve the
issue of the call timing ASAP. And we'll post a mail about the
UCs very soon.
<RiccardoAlbertoni> bye see you next week
<AndreaPerego> Thanks, and bye!
<Makx> bye
<annette_g> bye all!
<ByronCinNZ> bye
<RubenVerborgh> bye bye!
<LarsG> bye
<nandana_> Bye!
