[voiceinteraction] minutes January 13, 2021

There was a problem with generating yesterday's IRC minutes. These were
created from the original IRC log, so we don't have the normal nice HTML
version.
Thanks to Kazuyuki Ashimura for helping with this!

meeting: voiceinteraction

chair: Debbie
scribe: ddahl
present: debbie dirk
topic: architecture

review Dirk's recent updates to the architecture document,
https://w3c.github.io/voiceinteraction/voice%20interaction%20drafts/paArchit
ecture-1-1.htm

dirk: made some changes to client section
dirk: remove second sentence from microphone section because it's already
covered

debbie: this specification doesn't cover codecs
 debbie: we could say implementers are advised to support commonly used
codecs
...for interoperability

dirk: should remove last sentence of speaker section
... add example of turning on a light as a visible output
...added client activation strategy

debbie: also push and hold or streaming to activate

debbie: push and hold is not obsolete, for example Comcast TV voice remote
...has push and hold
...we could say "activate with a button"
...or activate with voice

dirk: todo -- add a service registry for local services and data providers
...because someone has to know them for local services to work

debbie: should be the same format and API as the remote one
...this would be another section in 3.1

dirk: will add color coding to "todo" items
dirk: important ones are dialog layer, history, NLG, dialogs,

debbie: skip the ones at the end of 3.3.1

dirk: data providers
...external services
...IPA provider, add microphone and speaker to figure 2
...adapt Figure 3 to current architecture
...how much time do we need to finish these edits?

debbie: regrets for January 27 call, so we can skip that and plan to finish
at the call in a month, February 10
