Dear New Standards Task Force, Our next call is Monday, 23 August at 11:30am ET for 90 minutes. Bridge info: +1.617.761.6200, +33.4.89.06.34.99, or +44.117.370.6152 Code: 63978 IRC: irc.w3.org:6665 #newstd Agenda: (1) mind meld debrief (2) how to start the Web Innovation Forum quickly _ Ian ======= (1) Mind meld debrief Monday and Tuesday of this week I met with the heads of the other four task forces. I got feedback on our current proposal [1]. I presented it in four parts: - process - community building efforts - developer portal - infrastructure support There was support for the overall proposal, especially the process piece, the developer portal piece, and collaboration tools. For all pieces, however, we will need to further flesh them out, prioritize elements, and assess costs. The next meeting of the task force heads is 30 August, and the one after that i 20 September. The expectation is that the proposals will be very solid on 20 September. One process issue stood out (as expected): managing IPR commitments on the transition from community group to standards track. There were also some questions raised about the proposed guarantee that anyone in a community group participating as an individual could become an invited expert in a future WG on the same spec. So these are areas that we should discuss (recognizing that we will turn also to the PSIG to provide guidance on licenses to satisfy our functional requirements). There was another suggestion: if there have been previous efforts to do similar things (e.g., www-talk or XGs), why did those not succeed, or why do we think this iteration has a better chance of succeeding. Summary: we need to refine, prioritize, and flesh out costs, especially around the community building and infrastrcture parts. ===== (2) starting up the Web Innovation Forum (WIF) This task force has suggested we start this up right away, and there are good reasons to do so. However, if we want a shiny new tool with lots of modern social networking features with the W3C brand, it will not happen right away. We could start off with something more modest, and invite discussion in the WIF about what infrastructure would be most useful (and even find volunteers to help). So my question to the task force is: what should the WIF look like when we start it, assuming we can do so in the next month or so? -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447
