jasnell, are you around?
#
sandro
jasnell, any chance you're around?
#
jasnell
yes and no. I cannot join a call but I can answer questions here
#
rhiaro
hostel sounds
#
rhiaro
tantek: DO we have a CR draft ready for publication
#
rhiaro
sandro: I think Evan's email said he had made all the changes
#
rhiaro
... I have not reviewed them yet
#
rhiaro
tantek: could someone drop a link to the changes?
#
rhiaro
... so we can at least review it
#
jasnell
Evan updated the editor's draft this morning
#
sandro
jasnell, have you seen Evan's recent changes?

jasnell
I very briefly glanced at it this morning
#
rhiaro
tantek: I can't review, so I'm going to leave it to other folks
#
rhiaro
... The key thing is to make sure the stuff that we discussed at the f2f and subsequent telecons
#
rhiaro
... the whole name, summary, should
#
rhiaro
sandro: Am I right that there's no changes to vocab, just core?
#
rhiaro
... vocab does not have a changelog
#
jasnell
that's how it appears
#
Loqi
[James M Snell] Activity Vocabulary
#
rhiaro
tantek: if there are other changes, could you take a look at those
#
sandro
jasnell, are you okay with this being a new Candidate Recommendation? Do you want more time to review it -- like another day or two to yell if there's a problem?
#
rhiaro
"The summary property SHOULD be used as a fallback text representation, possibly automatically generated by the publisher. If there is no name property, the summary property SHOULD NOT include markup, and SHOULD be as short enough to be used as a text representation in the language context. "
#
jasnell
sandro: let's do that, I've had a ton of context switching the past couple of days so I wouldn't feel comfortable signing off without a better readthrough
#
rhiaro
I don't think I understand the last part of that sentence about language context?
#
jasnell
give me until tomorrow and if I don't raise any objections by then go for it
#
rhiaro
sandro: We can publish so long as jasnell doesn't raise objections by tomorrow?
#
rhiaro
tantek: I would be fine with that
#
rhiaro
PROPOSED: Publish new CR of AS2, giving people another 24 hours to review, pending no objections
#
rhiaro
<rhiaro> +1
#
rhiaro

cwebber2
sorry :)

#
rhiaro
RESOLVED: Publish new CR of AS2, giving people another 24 hours to review, pending no objections
#
rhiaro
tantek: Next AS2 discussion item is a dependency the Annotation group would like to see resolved
#
rhiaro
... They depend on a bunch of vocabulary terms and want us to go to PR to make sure the terms are stable
#
rhiaro
... and there's a proposal from sandro
#
rhiaro
sandro: They were hoping we would go to PR and we talked a bunch in the staff IRC and realised we don't actually need to go to PR for them to be able to reference us, just that we intend to proceed to PR
#
rhiaro
tantek: you noted that there's only one term we dont' have implementations for
#
rhiaro
... startIndex
#
rhiaro
sandro: They have at least one implementation, and may have two others
#
rhiaro
tantek: If we don't get implementation reports from them for that, we'll drop it, and they should too
#
rhiaro
... I feel we should have this on the record for a resolution
#
rhiaro
... so that it's clear
#
sandro
PROPOSED: We consider the 12 AS2 terms used by WebAnnotations to be stable and will not substantively change their definitions from those in our 06 September 2016 CR. We expect to go to PR in Jan 2017 and see no likely impediments, given our plan to drop any vocabulary terms lacking 2 impls. We currently lack 2 impls of as:startIndex, but assume Anno can provide them.

#
sandro
jasnell, are you cool with that?
#
sandro
The terms are: 3 classes (as:Application | as:OrderedCollection | as:OrderedCollectionPage) and 9 properties (as:first | as:generator | as:items | as:last | as:next | as:partOf | as:prev | as:startIndex | as:totalItems)
#
julien
I think? Can't hear hm anymore :/
#
rhiaro
sandro: While we're waiting for tantek, I think that's it for what's explicitly on the agenda
#
rhiaro
TOPIC: Document status
#
rhiaro
sandro: Raise your hand if you have a document status update to report
#
rhiaro
sits on hands
#
Zakim
sees sits on the speaker queue
#
julien
he waives
#
rhiaro
... shut up zakim
#
julien
raises his hand I believe ;)
#
rhiaro
q- sits
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
cwebber2
doesn't have the glyph ;)
#
rhiaro
various: discussion of aaronpk's problemantic use of emoji
#
rhiaro
sandro: giving tantek another minute..
#
rhiaro
... Did everyone see the list of AS2 implementations?
#
rhiaro
... It does make me wonder how many things we're going to have to drop from as2
#
rhiaro
annbass: it's a great way to present that information
#
rhiaro
sandro: Shall we go ahead and proceed without tantek?
#
rhiaro
... aaronpk, go ahead?
#
rhiaro
tantek: *returns*
#
julien
I do no have a status report :/ sorry for the confusion
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: this is for WebSub, from julien as well
#
rhiaro
... We've been working on getting it ready for CR
#
rhiaro
... I have the editor's draft up to date with the conformance classes and the last trailing issues that julien's been merging in
#
rhiaro
... I have one pendin gPR to add the exit criteria to it
#
rhiaro
... the same stuff that was written in the issue
#
rhiaro
... that should take us to everything we were planning on doing for taking it to CR
#
rhiaro
tantek: does that mean you have a CR draft ready?
#
julien
done and done!
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: once that PR is merged it should be
#
julien
PR merged and CR ready
#
rhiaro
tantek: changelog?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: Oh I didn't update that yet
#
rhiaro
... I believe the list is very small though
#
rhiaro
tantek: any outstanding non-editorial issues open?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: A couple waiting for commenter
#
rhiaro
... julien, do you know offhand?
#
rhiaro
julien: One waiting for commenter feedback, but I don't think there's anything blocking
#
rhiaro
tantek: if it's still open it's blocking
#
rhiaro
... If we previously resolved on then that should be clear in the issue. If youthink you have a resolution but the commenter hasn't responded yet then walk us through that issue
#
rhiaro
... basically by this discussion we should see if we have zero non-editorial issues that need input from the group
#
rhiaro
julien: number 68
#
rhiaro
... The proposal is to replace rel=self with rel=canonical
#
rhiaro
... I don't think there's any benefit to it, but it would break a lot of implementations
#
rhiaro
tantek: do we have a proposal to resovle that issue without changes?
#
rhiaro
... can you propose that both in the issue and IRC
#
rhiaro
sandro: hold on..
#
rhiaro
... it's currently tagged as waiting for commenter, but the commenter has since replied, an dnobody has answered
#
rhiaro
julien: he's asking for the same thing over
#
rhiaro
sandro: he phrased as a 'new suggestion', so to close without answering him.. how do you reply?
#
rhiaro
julien: I think we should not ?? the rel=canonical urls
#
rhiaro
sandro: his point is he wants people to be able to use rel=canonical in their html
#
rhiaro
julien: I don't think there is any good reason for it
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: everything is the same, except in html people should look for rel=canonical and THEN rel=self
#
rhiaro
... since canonical is already existing, people might already have it, and then wouldn't have to add a new one
#
rhiaro
sandro: what does websub use this for? what happens if you don't have either?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: then you don't know what topic url to send
#
rhiaro
sandro: can't be the URL of the page?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: theoretically the same but some cases where it's not
#
rhiaro
... the spec makes it explicit that it should always use the advertised the value
#
rhiaro
tantek: one of my requests from a while ago was that if there's no self then just use the URL of the page
#
rhiaro
julien: one of the problems that we've found over and over with feeds is query strings
#
rhiaro
... having urls with query strings, people subscribe to that, but that is not what gets sent to the hub, so the subscriber never gets data
#
rhiaro
sandro: the arguements for requiring rel=self, already implemented, but aside, we want to avoid the error cases where the URL is wrong, and rel=canonical might have the wrong URL as well?
#
rhiaro
julien: it's different things
#
rhiaro
... a need for a way to identify the topic, should not be implicit, it will fail silently
#
rhiaro
... if it's explicit, I don't see the point in having two possible values
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: is there something about rel=canonical that has a different meaning?
#
rhiaro
... the example I could think of is an atom feed sometimes points to a rel=canonical of the html page
#
sandro
ah... so the rel=canonical would be wrong
#
rhiaro
... so if you want to subscribe to the atom feed, you can't use the rel=canonical that would be wrong
#
rhiaro
tantek: the confusion here is from the fact that the term self as an English term si very overloaded
#
rhiaro
... and what it really means is like rel=update. Yes your'e looking at this page, and if you want to get updates of the kind of stuff you see on this page, here's the URL that you subscribe to. That's my understanding of the meaning of rel=self in WebSub
#
rhiaro
... the unfortunate thing is that people see rel=self and think of the english term
#
rhiaro
... it does not mean all the things people think when they see self
#
rhiaro
... and it's unfortunate, but there's so much interop on this I would not propose changing
#
sandro
maybe rel='websubChannel" would be the clearest English :-)
#
rhiaro
... maybe an informative note about what does rel=self mean
#
julien
yiiiikes!
#
rhiaro
... I do think .. wasn't there an atom rel=self alsothat meant something else?
#
rhiaro
julien: ours is the meaning of atom rel=self that we're using here
#
rhiaro
sandro: it sounds like if we modify the draft to include a note including what we mean by self
#
aaronpk
rel=topic would have been a better choice but that ship has sailed
#
rhiaro
... and tell the commeter we thought about it and are too concerned about the fact that canonical might be different, and we want to keep it a separate relation
#
rhiaro
tantek: mention the experience of ??
#
rhiaro
still not getting it
#
sandro
s/??/silent failure/
#
rhiaro
julien: silent failure, if you do not subscribe to a URL that's the one the publisher advertises you will not get data and will not understand why
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: most obvious example is query string parameters
#
sandro
+1 silent failure is a bigger issue than convemience of re-using rel=canonical
#
rhiaro
tantek: our irc logs, with /today
#
rhiaro
whoever is causing this echo can ya not?
#
aaronpk
everyone mute unless you're talking
#
rhiaro
tantek: can we move this along?
#
rhiaro
julien: I will add a note to the spec about why it is like this
#
rhiaro
... as well as why it's important to have a value and not nothing
#
rhiaro
couldn't hear anything sandro just said
#
sandro
PROPOSED: Add note to spec about the naming of rel='self', and do not change to use rel=canonical at all
#
annbass
this echo is nuts
#
rhiaro
tantek: if you're willing to consider it, julien, the example of IRC logs, really helped convince me when aaronpk told me about that of the value of self
#
rhiaro
who has the meeting coming out of speakers?
#
annbass
try again .. I did have to call back in a bit ago .. maybe it was me
#
annbass
hung up now
#
aaronpk
will try hanging up in case it's him

RESOLVED: Add note to spec about the naming of rel='self', and do not change to use rel=canonical at all rehttps://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/68
#
rhiaro
tantek: Next issue?
#
rhiaro
sandro: URL vs URI inconsistency?
#
rhiaro
tantek: I think we had something similar with webmention?
#
rhiaro
... we expect browser like behaviour with discovery
#
ben_thatmustbeme
just realized he missed the call
#
rhiaro
... I think I commented on the issue
#
julien
but then what's the resoltuion tantek?
#
rhiaro
sandro: in webmention we reference the URL spec
#
rhiaro
tantek: and that's based on what other specs at w3c are doing, and it better reflects how URLs are treated in html, and that's essentially what we're doing, makes more sense than the IETF rfcs
#
julien
Basically change RFC 3986 to https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ ?
#
rhiaro
sandro: one of the counter arguements would be that it is a political statement
#
rhiaro
tantek: if anything that's an arguement *for*
#
rhiaro
<rhiaro> Is this the one that was updated in webmention with a note to go with it?
#
rhiaro
tantek: we should do what web platform wg is doing
#
rhiaro
sandro: you mean what html has been doing?
#
rhiaro
tantek: if there's a question of politics, politial inertia, that's on the side of using the urls pec
#
rhiaro
sandro: could be either way
#
rhiaro
... there will be people who will be upset with either choice
#
rhiaro
... hopefully not terribly
#
rhiaro
tantek: not clear that it will make any difference. Worse for us to be inconsistent
#
rhiaro
sandro: consistency is better
#
rhiaro
tantek: we should record if people are upset, and if they implement, and move on
#
sandro
PROPOSED: resolve https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/13 saying we're going to consistently us the https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
#
julien
+!
#
julien
+1
#
sandro
+0 not sure about the politics, but I guess, and consistency is important, and we went this way with WebMention
#
rhiaro
tantek: unless there are necessary technical reasons for referencing one over another, we should have the TAG say something
#
sandro
RESOLVED: resolve https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/13 saying we're going to consistently use the https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
#
sandro
<julien> +!
#
rhiaro
<rhiaro> Do we need that note that was added to webmention too though?
#
rhiaro
sandro: I think it's better to ask the commenter to close it
#
rhiaro
tantek: as long as we have a group consensus recorded, for the purposes of going to CR, it's better to leave it open as sandro suggests
#
rhiaro
sandro: somebody needs to go back and tag the 39 closed issues
#
rhiaro
... so we can have an analysis in the CR transition meeting
#
rhiaro
... most of the ones that don't have tags are by the editors, but still
#
rhiaro
... We do have to check over the closed issues and make sure they are legitimately closed
#
rhiaro
tantek: for the open ones, if it doesnt' say editorial then we need a resolution. Any left/
#
rhiaro
sandro: I see three
#
rhiaro
tantek: Unless those are mis-tagged I don't think we're going to resolve 3 issues in 2 minutes
#
rhiaro
sandro: two are raised by aaron
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: 27 is just waiting on me to write up, already resolved
#
rhiaro
... I lost track of 47
#
rhiaro
... I dont' remember why it's important any more
#
rhiaro
... and there's a new one after last eweks' call, I haven't analysed yet, 73
#
rhiaro
... 73 is the only one to talk about now
#
rhiaro
tantek: sounds like we need more time on that one
#
rhiaro
... I think we have enough edits done that you can publish a new WD with a changelog
#
rhiaro
... preferably with the edits we all just agreed on as of this call
#
rhiaro
PROPOSED: Publish a new WD of WebSub including the resolutions from today's call
#
rhiaro
<rhiaro> +1
#
rhiaro
RESOLVED: Publish a new WD of WebSub including the resolutions from today's call
#
rhiaro
sandro: do the editors want to try to do a CR vote next week?
#
rhiaro
julien: yep
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: yep
#
annbass
gotta go .. thanks all
#
rhiaro
might not have time/energy to chase that, too
#
rhiaro
... imminently
#
sandro
sandro: should we try to super-rush to get it out before the moratorium
#
sandro
sandro: probably not...
#
rhiaro
tantek: we can publish WDs any time
#
sandro
tantek: yeah, probably not
#
rhiaro
tantek: next week I'm hoping Evan can chair
#
aaronpk
that was a noisy call

RRSAgent, bye
#
sandro
indeed. worst phone issues in a long time!

I see no action items
shepazu and tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
hey we forgot to discuss (or mention) the Webmention PR (voting period closed) at today's telcon!
#
tantek
!tell sandro can you give us a brief public update on where we are with Webmention? How did the vote go? When do we hear from W3C team about PR comments and any requests for edits before REC?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
shepazu and KevinMarks joined the channel
#
Zakim
excuses himself; his presence no longer seems to be needed
#
Loqi
good riddance
timbl, shepazu, tantek and tantek_ joined the channel
#
tantek
hey aaronpk forgot to add to agenda, ask on call today: webmention issues
#
tantek
I filed a few issues on Webmention that other folks at Mozilla brought up
#
aaronpk
i didn't have any updates on that anyway
#
aaronpk
ah yeah
#
tantek
they're all requests for non-normative edits except the one reference change I think which doesn't affect conformance AFAIK
#
tantek
or existing implementations
#
tantek
Sandro will follow-up on process details, but it would be good to have you look at the issues and propose edits to resolve the issues.
