QA Working Group Teleconference Monday, 23-Aug-2004 -- Scribe: Patrick Curran Attendees: (PC) Patrick Curran (Sun Microsystems) (KD) Karl Dubost (W3C, WG co-chair) (DH) Hazaël-Massieux (W3C) (LH) Lofton Henderson (CGMO - WG co-chair) (LR) Lynne Rosenthal (NIST - IG co-chair) (MS) Mark Skall (NIST) (AT) Andrew Thackrah (Open Group) Regrets: Absent: (DD) Dimitris Dimitriadis (Ontologicon) Summary of New Action Items: AI-20040823-1 -- KD to draft text on normative references and email to alias: due Aug 27 AI-20040823-2 -- DH to draft a response to the TAG's Web Architecture document (addressing extensibility): due Sept 6 AI-20040823-3 -- KD to create a formal issues list: due Sept 13 Agenda: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0124.html Previous Telcon Minutes: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0125.html Minutes: 1.) roll call 11am EDT, membership 2.) routine business - Next Publication, August 31 (it's a *WD*) [KD] Points out that we are approaching Working Drafts and not final publication. Don't worry about "dropping stuff" - we can fix later [LH] We should include as much as possible. [KD] We will keep track of mail thread pointers... 3.) SpecGL Draft. [1] Discussion Lead: Karl - Update - Thanks to Lynne and Mark for the push [KD] Work is going well. Wants to finalize as soon as possible. Thanks to Lynne and Mark for their hard work. [DH] Is concerned that we don't have a formal issues-list; are we tracking issues? Particularly concerned about comments we receive from outside. [KD] Cannot create a formal issues list before publication. Takes an AI to create an issues list two weeks after publication. [LH] Have we chosen a mechanism for tracking issues? [KD] Not yet. [LH] Will turn over all previous issues list technologies to KD. 4.) B.3 Normative references in a specification [2] Discussion Lead: Karl [KD] We've had discussion on the alias about the value of maintaining a list of normative references. Haven't reached consensus yet. Our current draft doesn't have a lot of content. KD will address this (see AI). 5.) Modules-Profiles-Levels/DOV[3] Discussion Lead: Karl * A draft has been written by Dom. Reminder: That you can review it. [DH] Created a separate technical report (extracted from previous drafts of our docs). Asks us to review it - verify that it makes sense outside of the context of SpecGL. Comments requested by Wednesday. [LH] Does it need Patent Policy boilerplate text? [DH] No - since we aren't planning to make this a Recommendation 6.) Brief Overview of XML Extensibility article [4] Discussion Lead: Lynne The concepts of extensibility has many levels and is not necessary clear for everyone as it can be read in this thread about Atom/RDF/RSS [5] (side note: will it be necessary to push further and explore in an Advanced Topics what are the different forms of extensibility) [LR] Reviewed this article. It's consistent with what we have written in SpecGL. They had some good examples. Since there does seem to be interest in this subject, our coverage of this topic in SpecGL will probably be welcomed. [DH] There's definitely a lot of interest here. TAG is also working on this in their Web Architecture document. (It's at second Last Call.) TAG has asked us to review it. DH takes an AI to respond. 7.) Additional topics - PC's report on XKMS Call Last Week. [PC] Summarized the call. The XKMS team expressed some concerns about the testability of their spec, and asked for advice on how to test protocol-oriented specifications. Specifically, they are concerned that the spec may be too 'flexible' in some areas, hindering interoperability. PC concurred, and suggested some areas in which they might want to tighten up the spec. The team suggested (PC will pass this on) that they contact the XML Protocol team, who are entering CR and need to demonstrate interoperability. - Next meeting (September 6 is US holiday) The team agreed to meet on September 13 [KD] Asks the team to let people know once Spec GL has been published;, and encourage them to review. [KD] New version of TestGL, stating that this is on hold, has been published. ====================== references ======================= [1] http://www.w3.org/QA/Group/2004/07/WD-qaframe-spec/ [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0104 [3] http://www.w3.org/QA/WG/2004/08/qaframe-spec-advanced-20040830 [4] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0031 [5] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0115
