- # [00:00] * Joins: Liam (liam@128.30.52.169)
- # [00:10] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Webkit allows flex: <flex-grow> <flex-basis> <flex-shrink>
- # [00:11] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Is that considered a bug, or is that something you want to fix in the spec?
- # [00:12] * fantasai wonders what MSIE does
- # [00:13] <fantasai> arronei?
- # [00:13] <TabAtkins> Hm, that should be a bug on our side. I expect I can just fix it.
- # [00:14] <fantasai> It is perfectly unambiguous
- # [00:14] <fantasai> so either way works
- # [00:15] <TabAtkins> Not quite - if the "basis must have a unit" thing isn't a UA-level requirement, then "1 0" is ambiguous.
- # [00:15] <TabAtkins> Given that possible ordering, that is.
- # [00:15] <fantasai> ah
- # [00:15] <fantasai> yeah
- # [00:15] <fantasai> Let me see if I can clarify up that section of the spec
- # [00:16] <fantasai> I also need to clarify the difference between 'flex-basis' value and the used flex basis...
- # [00:22] <TabAtkins> hober: Should we be promoting image-set() for immediate review and discussion so it can get quick adoption (possibly integration into the Images 3 CR after a quick LC go-round)?
- # [00:22] <TabAtkins> I think it's already appeared in Safari, right? I'd prefer that features in production be given an appropriately mature status.
- # [00:22] <TabAtkins> Also: when is it showing up in iOS?
- # [00:24] * Quits: Liam (liam@128.30.52.169) (Ping timeout)
- # [00:24] <fantasai> TabAtkins: No, we are not pulling Images 3 back from CR.
- # [00:25] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Make restricted Level 4
- # [00:25] <TabAtkins> Then we're pushing a level 4 to CR while 3 is still there, too. That's fine with me, it just sounds weird. ^_^
- # [00:25] <TabAtkins> It's functionally equivalent.
- # [00:25] <fantasai> Yeah, sure, I don't see what's the problem with that
- # [00:25] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Note element() is also shipping
- # [00:26] <fantasai> TabAtkins: So by that criteria, they should both go to CR together
- # [00:26] <TabAtkins> Yeah, but just in Firefox. I'm afraid of things shipping in iOS, as that locks things in harder than FF shipping something.
- # [00:26] <TabAtkins> By my metrics, Firefox > Safari, but iOS > Firefox.
- # [00:26] * Quits: dstorey (Adium@144.189.101.1) (Quit: Leaving.)
- # [00:27] <TabAtkins> But I definitely want to lock down details of element() too, yeah.
- # [00:27] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I think we need FPWD before we can "lock" anything down :) :)
- # [00:27] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Will you have one ready for next week?
- # [00:27] * Joins: tantek (tantek@206.15.76.122)
- # [00:27] <TabAtkins> You mean this Wednesday, or next Wednesday?
- # [00:27] <fantasai> next Monday
- # [00:27] <fantasai> at the F2F
- # [00:27] <TabAtkins> Yes, i will.
- # [00:27] <fantasai> cool
- # [00:28] * fantasai is still stuck working on Flexbox
- # [00:28] <TabAtkins> I'm going to spend this week doing some webkit coding, but the few remaining things I want to do with Images 4 I can get done on the weekend.
- # [00:29] <fantasai> TabAtkins: It'd be a good idea to give people more than 5 minutes to review the draft before you talk about it at the F2F :)
- # [00:29] <tantek> fantasai - where's the document/spec restyling/reformatting stuff on your priority list? (wondering if we should spend a few cycles together on it before SD)
- # [00:29] <TabAtkins> Request denied.
- # [00:29] * Joins: ksweeney (ksweeney@63.119.10.10)
- # [00:29] <tantek> TabAtkins - LOL
- # [00:29] <TabAtkins> I'll edit *while* I'm talking about it.
- # [00:29] <tantek> that's the spirit!
- # [00:29] * Quits: ksweeney (ksweeney@63.119.10.10) (Quit: Leaving.)
- # [00:30] <fantasai> tantek: Below a bunch of stuff, but it needs to happen...
- # [00:30] <fantasai> tantek: I'd like to have something by TPAC
- # [00:30] * Joins: dstorey (Adium@144.189.101.1)
- # [00:30] <tantek> lots of things need to happen - was just curious how much it was a priority for your, relative to other things.
- # [00:30] <tantek> for you*
- # [00:30] <tantek> ok
- # [00:30] <fantasai> tantek: Which means *we* need to be done with our part septemberish so we can hand it off to someone with design skills
- # [00:31] <tantek> yeah
- # [00:31] <tantek> I'm wondering if there are any components we can cut.
- # [00:31] <fantasai> tantek: I also want to figure out what it'll take to overahaul W3C's publishing process.
- # [00:31] <fantasai> tantek: data-wise? I don't think so.
- # [00:32] <tantek> Or rather, wondering what would happen if we started with a really minimal structure that just happened to leave out a bunch of cruft we don't care about
- # [00:32] <fantasai> tantek: like what?
- # [00:32] <tantek> and see if anyone notices
- # [00:33] <fantasai> tantek, you're dealing with a bunch of spec writers, lawyers, and other OCD folks, I'm not sure hoping they won't "notice" is a promising strategy :)
- # [00:34] <fantasai> tantek: I think the best we can do is show how compact we can make it, how much we can defer to the end of the document while preserving usability
- # [00:35] <fantasai> tantek: basically, meta-navigation needs to be accessible above the fold
- # [00:35] <fantasai> tantek: so for that our best hope is to make it compact
- # [00:35] <tantek> fantasai - given the large number of things broken at W3C which spec writers, lawyers, and other OCD folks "don't notice" or don't appear to notice, or appear to not care about, I'd say I have a pretty good chance to dropping a whole lot of bureaucratic crap.
- # [00:36] <tantek> chance *of
- # [00:36] <fantasai> tantek: Well, I don't know what you want to drop
- # [00:36] <fantasai> tantek: we can't drop the copyright/licensing notices
- # [00:36] <tantek> I'm going to start the other way
- # [00:36] <tantek> I'm going to start with only what authors and implementers need
- # [00:37] <tantek> and when I'm done putting it back together, if there are leftover screws and nuts on the machine room floor, I'm not going to worry about them.
- # [00:38] <tantek> but since you mentioned copyright/licensing notices, I'll assume that's your particular favorite, and be sure to keep that in.
- # [00:39] <fantasai> it's not my favorite :)
- # [00:39] <fantasai> but it's required
- # [00:39] <tantek> anybody else have any particular favorites?
- # [00:39] <fantasai> My favorites are the links to the discussion lists, issues lists, test suite, and revision history
- # [00:39] <fantasai> because I actually use those
- # [00:39] <fantasai> I'd also like to keep the title if you don't mind :)
- # [00:40] * fantasai thinks documents look better with titles than without ;)
- # [00:40] * Quits: dstorey (Adium@144.189.101.1) (Quit: Leaving.)
- # [00:40] * fantasai thinks if we can strip out the CR exit criteria, the remaining boilerplate will be manageable
- # [00:42] <fantasai> tantek: Did you see the version Robin Berjon and I posted?
- # [00:42] * tantek prefers to start more minimal than people find acceptable, then see what people actually complain about and add a few things to make them happy.
- # [00:42] <tantek> fantasai - did you link to it from the wiki page?
- # [00:42] <fantasai> I don't think so...
- # [00:42] <tantek> then unlikely
- # [00:43] <fantasai> tantek: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/spec-prod/2012JulSep/0000.html
- # [00:43] <tantek> http://www.w3.org/wiki/Restyle
- # [00:43] * fantasai will add it to the wiki
- # [00:44] <tantek> thanks
- # [00:44] <tantek> ignoring the styling (which I think is more distracting than useful frankly, no offense to karl), I think the structures aren't too bad
- # [00:45] <tantek> but more to the point
- # [00:45] <tantek> good on you for taking the initiative and iterating with *something* concrete
- # [00:45] <tantek> I'll try to see if I can build on your work
- # [00:45] <fantasai> ok
- # [00:46] <fantasai> Yeah, we're totally ignoring styling for the moment :)
- # [00:46] <fantasai> just enough to get the point across of how to organize and compact the information
- # [00:47] <fantasai> Phase III will be turning it over to the design community :)
- # [00:47] <tantek> I'll see about marking it up with sufficient semantic styling hooks for the styling community to dig into, ala CSS Zen Garden
- # [00:48] <tantek> though restyling a spec has got to be fairly boring work, even by standardsistas standards
- # [00:48] <fantasai> hehe
- # [00:48] <fantasai> I think Karl's post really opened the box on possibilities
- # [00:48] <tantek> that's good - opening the box is more important than any one particular proposal/idea
- # [00:48] <fantasai> tantek: If you have a better term than "Paraphernalia", btw...
- # [00:48] <tantek> LOL
- # [00:49] <fantasai> tantek: There were some comments in that thread I haven't incorporated yet
- # [00:49] <tantek> yeah, I'd avoid using that term due to its typical association
- # [00:49] <tantek> unless that was intended
- # [00:49] <tantek> e.g. in this regard: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaeru/875369568/
- # [00:49] <fantasai> lol, no, just to pick something awkward enough that people will make replacement suggestions :)
- # [00:50] <fantasai> tantek: One major suggestion was to have a bright obvious notice when a spec becomes outdated, that you're looking at an outdated copy
- # [00:50] <hober> TabAtkins: I intentionally proposed it for CSS4 images so it wouldn't hold up CSS3 Images
- # [00:51] <fantasai> tantek: And another was to link up to the next level of a levelled/versioned technology
- # [00:51] <tantek> we should just make the background yellow parchment for outdated specs
- # [00:51] <hober> TabAtkins: yes, it's shipping in Safari 6
- # [00:51] <tantek> with cracks and tears
- # [00:51] <tantek> hober - don't you mean "shipped" (past tense) ?
- # [00:51] <fantasai> tantek: that might be nice, but we also need to explain why it looks weird and link to the latest version :)
- # [00:52] <hober> tantek: present tense is correct; safari 6 is the current release. :)
- # [00:55] <fantasai> tantek: Yeah, so, if you want to go through the feedback and create an iteration that incorporates those, plus extra styling hooks, that'd be awesome :)
- # [00:55] <fantasai> tantek: Please note the CSS there is really really horrible
- # [00:55] <tantek> is the feedback linked on the wiki page?
- # [00:55] <fantasai> tantek: it is now
- # [00:55] <fantasai> tantek: I just linked to the discussion
- # [00:55] <tantek> oh yeah no problem (re: the CSS)
- # [00:56] <fantasai> tantek: after that, I guess we can post it more broadly and see if we can get buy-in to do this from the rest of the W3C community that's not on spec-prod :)
- # [00:57] <tantek> I can also sideline it to Ian Jacobs to try to get him to buy-in before the hordes
- # [00:57] <fantasai> he's on spec-prod :)
- # [00:58] <tantek> I don't expect people to see things on mailing lists. I expect people to auto-file all mailing list email and then once in a while get to it.
- # [00:58] <tantek> You know, kind of like support forums. ;)
- # [00:58] <fantasai> Ian Jacobs was the first to respond :)
- # [00:59] <fantasai> Basically, I want to try to get all the content-related issues sorted first
- # [00:59] <tantek> clearly we need to give him more work
- # [00:59] <tantek> right
- # [00:59] <fantasai> Before we turn it over for design work
- # [00:59] <tantek> agree with content-first redesigning
- # [01:00] <fantasai> So, yeah, step 1, address feedback from spec-prod
- # [01:00] <tantek> I think we noted that somewhere in our project principles
- # [01:00] <tantek> the content-first part
- # [01:00] <fantasai> step 2, post to chairs@ and get feedback from the WGs
- # [01:00] <fantasai> step 3, incorporate that feedback
- # [01:00] <fantasai> then on to Phase III
- # [01:00] <tantek> nah, step 2 post in IRC and get feedback :)
- # [01:01] <fantasai> that can be 1.5 and 2.5 :)
