Larry asked me to clean this up; all these notes are from me ... I'm happy to approve if the red lines were replaced by something in black that says [scribe needs direction] <Noah> [16]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/07-agenda [16] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/07-agenda <jar> Change "X, scribe needs help here" to "[scribe missed]" RESOLUTION: Approve minutes at [17]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/07-agenda as a true record, subject to ht changing red text as appropriate [17] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/07-agenda <Noah> [18]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/25-minutes [18] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/25-minutes RESOLUTION: Approve minutes at [19]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/25-minutes [19] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/10/25-minutes <Noah> ACTION: Noah to take draft warnings off F2F minutes [recorded in [20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/11/08-minutes#action01] <trackbot> Created ACTION-765 - Take draft warnings off F2F minutes [on Noah Mendelsohn - due 2012-11-15]. <ht> HST has checked 2012/10/08-minutes.html back in with scribe-not-sure notes, so I'm happy Administrative Items <Noah> [21]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webarch-comments /2010OctDec/0001.html [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webarch-comments/2010OctDec/0001.html noah: a typo in the Architecture of the World Wide Web jar: I can't see what's wrong with the text that's there <Noah> Original: When two specifications are orthogonal, one may change one without <Noah> requiring... jar: I didn't think the proposed text was an improvement <Noah> I read that as "When two specifications are orthogonal, one may change one of the specifications without <Noah> requiring..." noah: I can't remember if we have a bug list for webarch ht: there are a number of entries in the errata ... I think it's worth entering in the errata list ... I think it probably is a typo noah: I read it just fine ht: using 'one' as a generic subject instead of 'you may change one' <jar> interference between two referents of "one" ht: I think Ian meant 'one may change without changing the other' ... this is a definition of orthogonality noah: we could say 'not worth changing' or task someone to create an entry for the errata jar: there's no question about meaning here yves: it's clear to non-negative speakers, so I don't see the point of changing it <Noah> "When two specifications are orthogonal, one may change one without <Noah> requiring..." <jar> a specification cannot require anything of anything "When two specifications are orthogonal, one may change one without requiring changes to the other, even if one has dependencies on the other." <Noah> "When two specifications are orthogonal, one may change one without requiring changes to the other, even if one has dependencies on the other" timbl: it would be easier in French <timbl> on .. un .. autre <jar> one *may be changed* no <jar> it would be possible to improve the prose, but doing so is not important right now ... jenit: we should not change it timbl: this isn't an editable spec noah: we have errata <Noah> .

I'm happy to let it get absorbed into what happens with the matrix ... I thought it was a cool thing and I hoped someone else would do something with it noah: there's a question about how to apply it jar: I wanted to push the work on applications and offline storage and that kind of thing ... I wanted it to be driven by objectives considerations, not just people asking what we should do here ... the question being what should we do in general noah: we could spend some time looking at the issues list now jar: the matrix has links to most of the open issues <Noah> ACTION-692? <trackbot> ACTION-692 -- Noah Mendelsohn to consider JAR's april request to discuss, for 10 mins, issues list at oct f2f -- due 2012-09-10 -- PENDINGREVIEW <trackbot> [29]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/692 [29] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/692 <Noah> close ACTION-692 <trackbot> ACTION-692 consider JAR's april request to discuss, for 10 mins, issues list at oct f2f closed <Noah> [30]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/open [30] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/open noah: we've had yearly since the start of the TAG an issues list, which in the early life of the TAG was how we worked out what to work on ... I never intended the actions or product pages to replace the issues list ... they were there to emphasise delivery ... but it means it's been over a year since we looked at the set of issues jar: there's too many to go over right now noah: I'd like to bite off 2-4 each week jar: I think it's more productive to look at the objectives noah: the issues list is called out in our charter <jar> the objectives matrix organizes the issues list noah: can you give us a link to the matrix? <jar> [31]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix [31] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix <Noah> [32]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix-20120930 [32] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix-20120930 <timbl> $ curl -I [33]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix [33] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/objectives-matrix <timbl> HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found jar: last column of matrix gives a link to the issues list ... this gives you a way to group the issues [34]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/49 [34] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/49 noah: we have schemes in URIs like http: and protocols like HTTP ... and it would be good to know what the relationship was between them ... people disagreed about what the association was ... whether http: means use HTTP ... the issue was left open because the community and the TAG didn't agree ... we couldn't straighten it out ... my sense is leave it open, and periodically ask if we want to revisit it jar: I think it's related to ISSUE-57 jenit: do the new web+ protocols have any impact? noah: we couldn't even tell a clean story about http: and HTTP timbl: we should never try to tell the exact story about everything ... the important message to show direction is that http: URLs are used as names in the architecture ... and you do other things with them apart from using them in HTTP ... but using the HTTP protocol has a special status ... and the protocol may evolve a whole lot ... what the default thing to do with an http: URL may change a whole lot in the future, and still be called HTTP <Noah> The several drafts that were written were under various dated versions of [35]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/SchemeProtocols.html [35] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/SchemeProtocols.html <Noah> I think the question was: if I see http:xxxx, can I try to get at it with a protocol other than HTTP noah: there were some drafts created and discussed ... I thought the fundamental question was, if I have a http: URL, that the HTTP GET is authoritative ... behind the HTTP could be a FTP, can I do an FTP? ... where in the specs does it say you can or can't use an http: URL with a FTP protocol ... I expected that protocol-like schemes would be associated with protocols ... then there's a question about what HTTP is anyway, and whether they're forwards and backwards compatible jar: I'm worried there's no customer for this issue noah: that's ok, we can just leave it open ... I backed off because I didn't see who would benefit if we pursued it jenit: maybe web+ and SPDY mean it might be worth revisiting [36]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/66 [36] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/66 jar: my assignment of issues in the matrix is sometimes quite arbitrary timbl: I think it's a great matrix noah: this is relatively recent, opened two years ago as an umbrella for Larry's work on mime and the web ... the question I'd put is, is there more here ... or should we close this issue jar: do we know what the role of mime is in the web architecture? noah: I don't think we're ever going to look at this issue and say we're done with it jar: I notice he put it under the webarch maintenance product ... this is an issue that feels like a product <Noah> issue-37? <trackbot> ISSUE-37 -- Definition of abstract components with namespace namesand frag ids -- open <trackbot> [37]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/37 [37] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/37 <Noah> issue-40? <trackbot> ISSUE-40 -- What are good practices for URI construction? -- open <trackbot> [38]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/40 [38] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/40 jenit: fragid & mime types work is related to ISSUE-66 <Noah> issue-45? <trackbot> ISSUE-45 -- What is the appropriate level of granularity of themedia type mechanism? -- open <trackbot> [39]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/45 [39] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/45 <Noah> issue-50? <trackbot> ISSUE-50 -- URIs, URNs, "location independent" naming systems and associated registries for naming on the Web -- open <trackbot> [40]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/50 [40] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/50 noah: I don't know how to use the issues in a way that's effective and time-efficient ... part of me wants to close them all and see which ones re-open timbl: maybe not worry about issues being open, just have two states: ones we're working on and ones we aren't noah: we have products that are related to issues jar: we could use 'pending review' for the issues not being worked on noah: what we're working on is clear, but it's not clear how the issues relate to what we're working on <jar> 'pending review' could be code for: we've not made headway in the past 2 years. trying to close noah: I'm worried that they're stale jar: the problem is that you feel an obligation to use the issue list ... I suggest setting them all as 'pending review' and turning the ones that we're working on to 'open' jenit: there is 'postponed' noah: that would work jar: we have no postponed issues right now ... I suggest setting all the open issues except those provably active to 'postponed' noah: I can ask for a list of issues that people think are open jar: err on the side of postponing them <Noah> ACTION: Noah to propose division of issues into OPEN/POSTPONED, etc. Due 2013-10-8 [recorded in [41]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/11/08-minutes#action03] <trackbot> Created ACTION-767 - Propose division of issues into OPEN/POSTPONED, etc. Due 2013-10-8 [on Noah Mendelsohn - due 2012-11-15]. <Noah> ACTION-767 Due 2013-01-08 <trackbot> ACTION-767 Propose division of issues into OPEN/POSTPONED, etc. Due 2013-10-8 due date now 2013-01-08 Face-to-face noah: there's still some vagueness about where we're going to have F2F ...
