Review and Tweak Agenda

    AB: agenda published January 14... it is
    [12]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JanMar/00
    86.html
    ... DigSig not on the agenda because FH and TLR are at the XML
    Security WG's f2f meeting this week
    ... one change I propose is to move Testing to the beginning of the
    meeting so Kai doesn't have to stay on the entire call
    ... any problems with that proposal?

      [12] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ 
2009JanMar/0086.html

    [None]

    AB: any other change requests?

Annoucements

    AB: January 31 is the deadline for Comments for the P&C LCWD
    ... very important to hit the deadline to optimze our f2f time in
    Paris
    ... any other announcements?

    [None]

Widget Testing

    AB: Kai, would you please give us a short status?

    <hendry> [13]http://git.webvm.net/?p=wgtqa

      [13] http://git.webvm.net/?p=wgtqa

    KH: I've done a lot of work but because of the end of year holidays
    progress has been a bit slow
    ... recently talking to MC and TLR about DigSig
    ... We recently agreed to move MWTS tests to the "Opera format"
    ... This has been a bit more complicated than I'd like
    ... have also been communicating with DavidH (Opera) re the widget
    RELAX NG schema

    <hendry> [14]http://git.webvm.net/?p=wgtvalidator

      [14] http://git.webvm.net/?p=wgtvalidator

    <arve> (I missed a few minutes here, due to a phone call)

    KH: The test framework unloads the zip and runs the widget in the
    browser
    ... I need feedback from you guys to help

    AB: any volunteers to review what Kai and MWTS have done?

    JS: I can take a look

    <arve> zakeem, Drop Mike

    <Bryan> Bryan can help review it - on chat only today

    AB: thanks Bryan
    ... are you/MWTS blocked by WebApps?

    KH: no, not really
    ... if you want to make things go faster, then please make some
    contributions

    AB: OK; understood
    ... any other comments for KAI or about the test suite?

    [None]

    AB: we are having a Widgets f2f meeting Feb 24-26 in Paris
    ... I assume widgets will be on the agenda

    KH: I will not be available that week
    ... Dom may be able to attend or help

    <scribe> ACTION: Barstow follow-up with Dom re Widget Testing and
    our Feb 24-26 f2f meeting [recorded in
    [15]http://www.w3.org/2009/01/15-wam-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-288 - Follow-up with Dom re Widget Testing
    and our Feb 24-26 f2f meeting [on Arthur Barstow - due 2009-01-22].

    KH: are there some other implementations I can use for inspiration?

    AB: Scott Wilson's email today describes two EU projects that are
    implementing parts of the Widgets specs

P&C Last Call WD

    AB: formal comments from Boris and Jere
    ... Don't necessarily want to go through the comments line-by-line
    ... However, we do have an obligation to respond to every comment
    submitted and we must continue to use public-webapps for that

    <scribe> ACTION: Marcos create a tracking document for the P&C LCWD
    [recorded in
    [16]http://www.w3.org/2009/01/15-wam-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-289 - Create a tracking document for the
    P&C LCWD [on Marcos Caceres - due 2009-01-22].

    UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: We can discuss any particular Hot Topic and/or
    process-related

    AB: Boris
    [17]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JanMar/00
    46.html
    ... one area of continued concern is the HTML5 dependency
    ... Borris' comment #4 raises this issue
    ... HTML5 isn't going to reach REC for some time, unfortuantely
    ... our options are somewhat limited

      [17] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ 
2009JanMar/0046.html

    Arve: I'm OK with us referencing those parts of HTML5 that are
    stable
    ... perhaps we need to clearly identify those specs in WebApps that
    have a dependency on HTML and give them to Hixie

    AB: any other comments on HTML5 dependency issue?

    [None]

    AB: any comments on Borris' input?
    ... clearly it indicates we neet to tighten up the spec
    ... I didn't see anything I would characterize as a "Show Stopper"
    ... surely Marcos will reply but anyone else should feel free to
    reply too
    ... Jere sent comments:
    [18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JanMar/00
    88.html

      [18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ 
2009JanMar/0088.html

    JK: I expect Marcos to reply

    AB: are there any particularly urgent comments, Marcos?

    JK: comment #1 is a bit urgent because it could affect the testing
    re localization

    AB: thanks for sending these comments

    JK: re comment #5, were there discussions about just using one
    config doc for the whole widget rather than a config per locale?

    AB: some orgs use different groups to do their localization so
    keeping them separate works well with those business arrangements
    ... and munging everything into a single config file can be
    problematic

    Arve: also can expect things such as layout to vary depending on
    locale

    JK: if anyone has a ptr to past discussions, I would appreciate
    ... think there is a need for more information about how to handle
    merging when more than one config file is used

    Arve: think we need to hear from Marcos

    AB: any other comments about Jere's email?

    [None]

API & Events spec

    AB: this spec hasn't been update recently
    ... ED is [19]http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/

      [19] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/

    Arve: we still have a few Red Blocks in the spec
    ... some changes to HTML5 need to discussed before we move fwd with
    our spec
    ... I need to review the changes Hixie has made
    ... his changes potentially will affect what we want to specifiy

    AB: can you agree to a deadline for that analysis?

    Arve: yes

    AB: is one week sufficient?

    Arve: yes

    <scribe> ACTION: arve review changes to HTML5 that may affect API
    and Events spec and propose a way forward [recorded in
    [20]http://www.w3.org/2009/01/15-wam-minutes.html#action03]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-290 - Review changes to HTML5 that may
    affect API and Events spec and propose a way forward [on Arve
    Bersvendsen - due 2009-01-22].

    [ Some discussion on whether or not the ED at
    [21]http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ is the latest version or
    not ... ]

      [21] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/

    Arve: it appears I have not checked in agreed changes from Mandelieu
    ... I will check in all changes before our next Voice Conf

    [None]
