RE: Update from Social WG call yesterday

Yes, I can meet at 10am Monday Oct 20 (Pacific time).

If I better understood the topic of "Actions", perhaps I could write the use case.

Arnaud,

Thanks for the clarification on Tantek's point. I agree the point was about examples, not really about if Actions are needed at all.

Our IG meeting today was cancelled and the next one was suggested for next Wed, so after the next WG meeting.  We have 18 Use Cases to sift through here http://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialig/Use_Case_TF/Social_Data_Syntax/Profile_Scenarios<http://IG%20Task%20For%20Use%20Cases>

Would people be able to meet at 10am PST / 1 PM EST (etc.) on Monday to start making a run at the list?  TPAC is just the next week after that anyway.  If others can meet earlier the group should, though I can't be there.

Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks for making sure the IG is aware.
The problem isn't so much that there isn't a clear use case for Actions as much as that none has been documented. Tantek argued that the WG shouldn't promote a spec without documented the use cases it addresses which I think is a fair criticism. So, it would be very helpful if the IG could document some. It may be that there already some out there somewhere we can just point to.

Regards.
