Re: Minutes of the MAWG telecon july 18th 2011 and ACTION for editors.

Dear Thierry,

I am not an editor on this spec, just a willing contributor. I have
spent many hours preparing files for this WG such that there are files
for formats that this WG cares about or should care about. The last
time that I sent files through I was told that the files are fine. Now
I am told there is more work that I need to do with a link to a
randomly long list of things that I should take the files through. I
would prefer to be told exactly what is wrong with my files. Also, I
believe I have provided sufficient detail the last time around that
you as a W3C employee can just fix up whatever wrong RDF markup I
provided if it doesn't validate.

As for any missing fields: I have in the past explained how in theory
Ogg and WebM files can contain all these fields, but that existing
software does not encode all of these fields at this point in time. I
have added what was possible to the binary files at this point. I can
make up RDF files that do not relate to the binary files, but that
will be very unhelpful. As the files are just an example for what is
possible at this point in time, I do not see a need to write new
software that will create files with all the fields that you are
asking for. I believe you will actually end up with the same situation
for all of the binary formats including FLV and MP4. I have explained
this in that past - indeed in many discussions and emails that we had
on this topic - but I just don't seem to be able to make this point
understood.

Once your "help" is more concrete than sending me a hyperlink to an
email with 4 further hyperlinks, two semi-understandable meeting
minutes, a guideline for editing with a request to install 4 pieces of
software (which in my case for binary files isn't even sufficient),
and a random call to "just fix your files", feel free to get back to
me with concrete questions for what you still need for these files.

Best Regards,
Silvia Pfeiffer.
