- # [17:00] <Philip> Is it relevant that canvas specification is mostly about documenting existing practice, since it's already implemented in most major browsers, and is not about developing a new feature?
- # [17:14] <DanC> I thought I captured a sense of that
- # [17:15] <DanC> "Do use cases such as games, shared whiteboards, and yahoo pipes and others in the ESW wiki motivate a requirement that HTML 5 provide an immediate mode graphics API and canvas element?"
- # [17:15] <DanC> oh... I could cite the relevant design principle.
- # [17:15] <DanC> I'm inclined to leave it up to wiki-elves to do that. I think the WBS question is clear enough.

- # [18:17] <oedipus> Anne: how does modification of activity affect charter? results clear -- if say "yes" then might be changed
- # [18:17] <oedipus> DanC: question is "who is everyone" -- question to HTML WG and question to W3C; feedback at TPAC was that this issue is in scope; not critical path for denying discussions
- # [18:17] <oedipus> Anne: membership ok with it, can we carry on as usual?

- # [18:19] <oedipus> JulianR: can answer in week
- # [18:19] * Lachy says hi
- # [18:19] <oedipus> Henri: can answer in week; question posed isn't what i want answered -- 3 of top 4 already implementing
- # [18:19] <oedipus> ChrisW: questions 3 out of 4
- # [18:19] * Joins: ROBOd (robod@89.122.216.38)
- # [18:20] <oedipus> DanC: a lot of people have made up their mind, but the question still has to be fielded
- # [18:20] <DanC> q+ to suggest a survey with some options in parallel
- # [18:20] * Zakim sees DanC on the speaker queue
- # [18:20] <oedipus> ChrisW: in scope of WebAPI or not? 3 of 4 implemented shouldn't make issue one for HTML WG -- question whether covered by charter or patent policy; some implementors don't believe charter needs to be implemented, but that is my gut feeling
- # [18:21] <oedipus> DanC: considering doing an informal survey in parallel with formal survey; CANVAS tag in HTML WG and CANVAS tag in HTML WG or other WG? if formal question doesn't carry, still gaining info
- # [18:21] <ChrisWilson> My point is that 3 out of 4 implementers implementing means this IS in scope of "the platform"; the question, to my mind, is whether this is covered by our charter and therefore covered by the patent policy.
- # [18:22] <oedipus> DanC: been suggested that html5 spec should have CANVAS in it and cite document with graphics API -- question of whether HTML WG develops document or another WG develops document
- # [18:22] <ChrisWilson> The goal in creating a W3C WG with a patent policy is to explicitly lay out what that WG is going to do, so companies getting involved in the WG know what IP they may be offering up.
- # [18:22] <oedipus> Anne: rather keep it in HTML WG; willing to answer survey
- # [18:22] <ChrisWilson> Charters cannot be open-ended.
- # [18:22] <Lachy> isn't everything in the spec covered by the patent policy, regardless of whether it's explicitly in the charter?
- # [18:23] <oedipus> JulianR: spec already too complex -- need to seriously discuss way to take things out and harmonize with existing specs
- # [18:23] <DanC> agenda + outcome of HTML for authors session
- # [18:23] * Zakim notes agendum 8 added
- # [18:24] <oedipus> GJR: spec too complex, but can answer any survey
- # [18:24] <ChrisWilson> Lachy, everything in the spec IS covered by the patent policy. Joining a working group cannot be opening a company's entire patent portfolio in a free-for-all, or those with large patent portfolios would be foolish to participate at all - weakening the point of having a patent policy.
- # [18:25] <oedipus> Henri: formal survey first, then consider steps to separate API portions of spec; question of whether anything should be taken out of spec dependent upon who is going to edit that portion of spec -- do we have expertise?
- # [18:25] <oedipus> SamR: can't answer within week; support informal survey; do have charter concerns
- # [18:25] <Lachy> so the real question is, does Microsoft have patents that they do not want to give up, but which they would be forced to if canvas were included?
- # [18:25] <oedipus> ChrisW: yes, can answer question

- # [18:57] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, as far as i am aware, everything in the spec if well covered by our charter.
- # [18:57] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, after all, the charter was written mostly after teh spec, and with the spec in mind.
- # [18:57] <DanC> oedipus, there's bunch of irrelevant stuff at the top, but you don't have write access to /2007/11 ... perhaps you could (a) take a copy of 16-html-wg-minutes.html , edit it manually, and mail it to me and www-archive ?
- # [18:58] <oedipus> yes, i can do that
- # [18:58] <DanC> thanks
- # [18:58] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, also, if you think hyatt and i aren't editing fast enough, it would be helpful to know what you think should be being edited faster
- # [18:58] * Quits: Lachy (Lachlan@88.91.106.25) (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
- # [18:58] <oedipus> will get it to you and www-archive asap
- # [18:58] <DanC> Hixie, please consider the charter from the perspective of someone wholly unfamiliar with HTML 5. e.g. a patent laywer at VendorCo
- # [18:59] <Hixie> DanC, first, we do, and second, the only person complaining is microsoft, and they aren't "someone wholly unfamiliar with HTML 5"
- # [18:59] <Hixie> DanC, they are in fact intimiately aware that html5 exists and is why this group was created.
- # [18:59] * Joins: gavin (gavin@99.227.30.12)
- # [18:59] <DanC> no, microsoft is not the only person complaining; they're the only one nice enough to do it on the public record
- # [19:00] <ChrisWilson> Hixie, from a quick glance through the ToC, canvas and offline; session history and navigation; client-side storage (both types) unless the WebAPI WG fails to deliver; server-sent DOM events; and the connection interface are not in our charter.
- # [19:00] <ChrisWilson> s/nice/foolish
- # [19:00] <oedipus> danC, how far down do you want me to snip - to "convene meeting"?
- # [19:00] <DanC> yes, down to convene
- # [19:00] <oedipus> ok
- # [19:00] <DanC> and fix the duplicate items in the TOC, if you would
- # [19:00] <oedipus> have done
- # [19:01] <DanC> good
- # [19:01] * oedipus not used to proper use of agenda tracking by chairs!
- # [19:01] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, wow, i didn't realise how desparate you were to try and slow down the group.
- # [19:01] * oedipus that's why i used TOPIC:
- # [19:01] <DanC> Hixie, cut it out
- # [19:01] <mjs> ChrisWilson, you have a unique way of reading the charter
- # [19:01] <ChrisWilson> I'll try not to take the comment literally or personally.
- # [19:01] <Hixie> oh please
- # [19:01] <Hixie> it's blatently obvious what chris is doing
- # [19:01] <Hixie> no-one in their right mind would claim session history wasn't under HTML5's purview
- # [19:01] <DanC> no, it's not, and it's rude of you to presume
- # [19:02] <ChrisWilson> Hixie, why should it matter? You will continue to create your HTML 5 standard in the WHATWG; and it will continue to ignore patents and IPR.
- # [19:02] <ChrisWilson> s/should it matter/should it matter to you/
- # [19:02] * DanC goes afk
- # [19:03] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, we specifically came here to w3c to allow the spec to be covered by the patent policy for you
- # [19:03] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, and now you're claiming you don't think the spec is covered by the charter.
- # [19:04] <Hixie> ChrisWilson, what can we do going forward to make sure the spec isn't pared down, is published soon, and is published with your participation?
- # [19:04] <ChrisWilson> One moment.
- # [19:04] <oedipus> danC, should i trim the "diagnostics" section?
- # [19:05] <oedipus> the question of whether the spec should be pared down is a decision for the WG to make, not a unilateral decision by the editors
- # [19:05] <ChrisWilson> Hixie: in a company with a large patent portfolio, getting approval to allow RF licensing of IP requires knowing what you're signing up to.
- # [19:06] * Quits: jmb (jmb@152.78.68.189) (Ping timeout)
- # [19:06] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: sure, that's why when we originally proposed the scope we made it explicit. the w3c staff cut it down saying that it was being redundant.
- # [19:06] <ChrisWilson> That means the charter has to cover exactly what areas are going to be in the spec, because comparing a 500-page specification against [large company]'s entire patent portfolio is not an easy thing to do.
- # [19:06] <oedipus> hixie, isn't the point of editing to make things as clear as possible? that entails clarifications and such that may lead to "paring" in one place and "growth" in another...
- # [19:07] <ChrisWilson> Then let
- # [19:07] <ChrisWilson> erk
- # [19:07] <Hixie> oedipus: (i just meant removing entire sections, i agree that editing work includes making things clearer.)
- # [19:08] * Joins: jmb (jmb@152.78.68.189)
- # [19:09] <ChrisWilson> Then let's scope out what the charter SHOULD be, and get the charter changed to reflect that. More to the point, I think there should be separate groups handling some of these items; I agree, fwiw, that session history and navigation might belong here, but I don't honestly think connections do. I believe they belong in the webapi group.
- # [19:10] <ChrisWilson> At any rate, it's irresponsible of me to agree to a spec that I don't think our IP reviewers were covering.
- # [19:10] <ChrisWilson> I understand, for example, (because at least you and Maciej have repeatedly said) that the Canvas API is a fairly stable bit of the WHAT WG HTML5 spec.
- # [19:12] <ChrisWilson> I understand anyone's ability to get you to change that API is basically zero at this point (aside from the one or two minor points you mentioned as being in flux). That doesn't mean that I can blithely say "I'm sure we wouldn't mind giving up IP in that area" without what IP we have there being reviewed.
- # [19:12] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: what can we do to publish _soon_, though? rechartering takes easily 6 months which is simply not an option for us.
- # [19:12] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: i'd like to know what we can to publish the current spec soon, with your participation
- # [19:13] <ChrisWilson> Publish all of the current HTML5 spec, with Microsoft's participation? I don't know. I'm not sure it will be possible; it will depend on the patent review I'm kicking off right now with our legal team to look at the areas I mentioned above that I don't think are in the spec.
- # [19:13] <ChrisWilson> s/spec/charter
- # [19:14] <ChrisWilson> If that review is taking more than 90 days, or if it turns up areas of concern to the IP owners, then I would have to depart the WG, because that's the only option left. That's one of the reasons why RF WGs are best off not trying to bite off the entire world.
- # [19:15] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: wow, so there is the chance that microsoft would rather leave the group than license patents?
- # [19:15] <ChrisWilson> I understand you all think this is me being obstructionist, and that's unfortunate. I have to work within the system of a corporation with a large patent portfolio, and that means being responsible with their IP.
- # [19:15] <ChrisWilson> No, that's not it.
- # [19:16] <smedero> I'm a little confused as common-man involved in this process. The <canvas> element is about three years old... though I don't know the exact date it made it into the WHATWG HTML5 sepc.
- # [19:16] <Hixie> smedero: i'm pretty confused myself :-)
- # [19:16] <ChrisWilson> It's not "license patents". It's that what you are asking for is a open-ended "whatever patents might cover technology we think is handy to shove into the HTML5 spec."
- # [19:16] <oedipus> DanC and ChrisW: cleaned minutes attached to http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007Nov/0053.html
- # [19:16] <smedero> It seems clear that the patent issues were going to be a problem... that's completely reasonable.
- # [19:16] <oedipus> cleaned minutes: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007Nov/att-0053/2007-11-16-html-wg-minutes-cleaned.html
- # [19:16] <smedero> It just feels like this issue should have been reviewed much sooner in this process.
- # [19:17] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: the html5 spec at this point is past feature freeze, so there won't be any new things that can be covered by patents.
- # [19:17] <ChrisWilson> Indeed. My apologies. I have a couple of day jobs too.
- # [19:17] <ChrisWilson> Really? Do you believe that every area that is going in to HTML5 from the WHATWG side is already there, and if we capture everything that's in there today into our charter to my satisfaction, that's not going to change?
- # [19:17] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: so anyway you are saying there is no way to publish the current spec soon with your participation? that it's either publish later, publish without you, or publish something smaller?
- # [19:18] <ChrisWilson> (That's a serious question)
- # [19:18] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: yes, as far as i'm concerned we're in feature freeze, i don't expect any new features to be added before CR.
- # [19:18] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: (there's no "whatwg side" to this, btw)
- # [19:18] <oedipus> ChrisW and DanC: just found another regret notification: Marcin Hanclik's regrets: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007Nov/0052.html
- # [19:19] <ChrisWilson> The best possible case is that I take the current spec, categorize the areas, pass it back to legal for review, and the owners of the patents they turn up are all okay with RF-licensing that IP to the W3C for HTML5.
- # [19:19] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: obviously if microsoft has anything they'd like added they would be considered, since that would presumably sidestep the patent problem, and we want to make microsoft happy with the spec.
- # [19:19] <ChrisWilson> So, to echo one of my ultimate bosses' most unfortunate statements, that depends on your definition of soon.
- # [19:19] <ChrisWilson> I don't think we have anything that we've been holding on to, no.
- # [19:20] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: by "soon" i meant this week
- # [19:20] <Hixie> well, next week i guess
- # [19:20] <Hixie> what with it being friday
- # [19:21] <oedipus> ChrisW: for what it is worth, i don't think you're being obstructionist -- your being realistic and practical, something that most of us in spec writing don't necessarily need be...
- # [19:21] <ChrisWilson> Then that's possible - I told Dan last week I am explicitly removing myself from any decision-making around this - but that is running the risk I listed above, that the expanded patent review won't finish and Microsoft would have to depart prior to the 90-day countdown.
- # [19:22] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: aah, interesting.
- # [19:22] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: well that makes sense
- # [19:22] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: that's the same risk google would take too
- # [19:23] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: seems like that's the best course then
- # [19:23] <Hixie> it sidesteps the whole charter can of worms
- # [19:23] <ChrisWilson> What's the same risk Google would take?
- # [19:24] <Hixie> that our patent review wouldn't be complete in 90 days
- # [19:26] <ChrisWilson> The part that is frustrating is that ideally, if you create a clear enough charter, then you don't need to do a patent review every time a new document is issued by the WG; you do a review before joining the group, and then you know what is at stake.
- # [19:26] <Hixie> i agree
- # [19:26] <Hixie> like i said, the original scope list that i and others proposed for html5 was very detailed
- # [19:26] <ChrisWilson> If I have to go through a whole legal review every time there is a new document in a WG, I'm going to have to quit so I don't slit my wrists.
- # [19:26] <Hixie> and explicitly covered all these things
- # [19:26] <Hixie> w3c staff said that the list had too much redundancy and made it smaller, as i recall
- # [19:27] <Hixie> not sure why
- # [19:27] <ChrisWilson> Hmm. Nor am I; I was not involved in developing the charter at all, actually.
- # [19:27] <ChrisWilson> (other than the voting at the AC level, where I advised)
- # [19:27] <Hixie> yeah they didn't even contact me until someone pointed out to them that maybe they should at least consult the guy who'd edited the html5 spec for the past few years
- # [19:28] <Hixie> and even then they only unofficially asked for my advice
- # [19:28] <mjs> Apple's legal review may be hard to complete in 90 days as well, but I would still prefer to just publish and start the clock
- # [19:28] <Hixie> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Nov/author.html#msg56 is where i sent the feedback i had
- # [19:29] <Hixie> look in particular at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Nov/0045.html
- # [19:30] <Hixie> afk, bbiab
- # [19:31] <mjs> I'm not sure it's possible to predict all applicable patents short of an actual draft anyway
- # [19:31] <mjs> that's why FPWD and LC are what starts the review clock
- # [19:31] * Joins: anne (annevk@86.90.70.28)
- # [19:32] <ChrisWilson> That may be true - but we should at least know what areas are going to be covered. And I disagree with the scope of the charter Ian pointed to (0045) for this group.
- # [19:32] <ChrisWilson> I don't understand, btw, why the presumption that WebAPI has failed/is failing.
- # [19:33] <mjs> I don't think they have failed at everything, but they (we) certainly haven't delivered all their original charter deliverables
- # [19:34] <ChrisWilson> why not?
- # [19:34] <anne> no dedicated editors
- # [19:35] <anne> editing specs these days is much harder than it was before (if you look at the amount of detail of HTML 5 versus HTML 4 for instance)
- # [19:35] <mjs> nor have they even started on any kind of data storage API, nor does that seem likely to happen any time soon
- # [19:35] <anne> it's like writing an implementation in English
- # [19:36] <ChrisWilson> See, I don't get that. There's one in current HTML5; you guys are on that group too; why do you not just take that spec, move it into that group, get buyoff, stamp it and move on?
- # [19:36] <ChrisWilson> anne: ?
- # [19:37] <mjs> splitting specs is not easy
- # [19:37] <ChrisWilson> It seems like it's useful outside the context of HTML, and moving it into a group like that would make it quicker, not slower.
- # [19:37] <mjs> so far XMLHttpRequest has semi-succeeded
- # [19:37] <anne> i'm already editing cross-site requests, xhr 1 and 2, and several drafts for the HTML WG, besides QA work I do for Opera and trying to keep up with everything relevant
- # [19:37] <mjs> (though Microsoft's rep still objects to the remaining HTML dependencies)
- # [19:37] <mjs> and Window kind of failed
- # [19:37] <ChrisWilson> I understand breaking up HTML5 into, say, separate "tabular data" and "media elements" specs would be hard.
- # [19:37] <mjs> (due to lack of my time)
- # [19:37] <anne> i think i'm one of the few in the Web API WG who actually manages to produce stuff
- # [19:38] <mjs> I think lots of stuff would be better if split off in principle but I don't want to let the perfect be the enemy of the good
- # [19:38] * Joins: kingryan (rking3@208.66.64.47)
- # [19:39] <ChrisWilson> But it seems like taking the two client-side storage sections and making them a separate spec would make it easier to focus on. Not to mention use them outside of HTML.
- # [19:40] <mjs> in theory, yes
- # [19:40] <mjs> in practice, I'm not aware of a qualified and available editor
- # [19:40] <ChrisWilson> For what? Client-side storage?

- # [19:52] * Joins: dbaron (dbaron@63.245.220.241)
- # [20:07] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: there are a number of sections (setTimeout, Window, XHR, alt stylesheets OM) that have been taken out of HTML5. Only one of them (XHR) has so far managed to get any real traction.
- # [20:07] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: so much so that i had to pull window back into HTML5 because I had dependencies that were falling by the wayside because of the issue
- # [20:08] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: setTimeout and the alt stylesheets OM are tiny bits that wouldn't even take much editing time -- if we could find someone to edit those, then we could consider taking out the much bigger and more important bits out
- # [20:09] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: but if we can't even find competent editors with enough time to edit those tiny bits, i would consider it irresponsible of us to take out the other bits and just throw them over the wall and hope for an editor, especially considering that the sections in question are amongst those sections that browser vendors have indicated are the most critical to html5's success

- # [22:39] <DanC> ok... I moved the charter stuff from http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/req-gapi-canvas/ to the tactics survey
- # [22:39] <DanC> mjs? kingryan ? Hixie ? anybody around to take a look?
- # [22:39] * kingryan can see it
- # [22:40] * oedipus can hear it
- # [22:43] <DanC> any opinions?
- # [22:43] <DanC> i.e. is it coherent?
- # [22:43] * gsnedders looks
- # [22:43] <DanC> rather: are the 2 surveys coherent?
- # [22:43] <hober> It's not clear what question 2 in the tactics survey implies re: HTML 5 spec
- # [22:44] <gsnedders> hober: agreed
- # [22:44] <kingryan> concur
- # [22:44] * Philip guesses that it's best to keep 3D canvas discussion well away from public-html for now :-)
- # [22:44] <kingryan> DanC: is it implying that canvas be extracted into a separate document?
- # [22:44] <gsnedders> DanC: for question five can we just use Yes/No?
- # [22:45] <DanC> this one is unclear? "2. Canvas and immediate mode graphics API introductory/tutorial note"
- # [22:45] <gsnedders> DanC: yeah
- # [22:45] <oedipus> DanC: Should CANVAS and immediate mode graphics be spun off into a note, similar to Offline Web Applications? That is: a sort of extended abstract that might grow into a tutorial.
- # [22:45] * DanC is confused
- # [22:45] <hober> For instance, I'd like to answer: "keep <canvas> in the html5 spec, don't recharter. additional documents (tutorials, etc.) are fine if someone wants to work on them."
- # [22:45] <gsnedders> DanC: also, regarding "charter a new W3C working group for the 2d graphics API" — Opera has experimental 3D support now
- # [22:45] <DanC> spun off? no; the design would stay where it is
- # [22:46] <Philip> (Mozilla has more advanced experiemental 3D support too)
- # [22:46] <Philip> s/e//
- # [22:46] <oedipus> DanC: Should CANVAS and immediate mode graphics be released first in the form of a note, similar to Offline Web Applications? That is: a sort of extended abstract that might grow into a tutorial.
- # [22:47] <DanC> reload; I changed it to: "How about a note to supplement the detailed specification, similar to ..."
- # [22:47] <oedipus> sounds fine to me
- # [22:48] <DanC> what would yes and no mean for question 5? I want information on preferences as well as what people find acceptable
- # [22:48] <hober> I'd like a "no opinion" option on 2, although I suppose simply not answering conveys that...
- # [22:48] <DanC> right; you can just not click any of the options...
- # [22:48] <DanC> ... though once you click one of them, you're kinda stuck
- # [22:49] <oedipus> that sounds like reason enough to add "no opinion" as an option
- # [22:49] * jgraham is happy the first questionnaire is in line with his original misreading of the implications
- # [22:50] <jgraham> Q2. on the second one is a bit brief
- # [22:50] <jgraham> s/second/tactics/
- # [22:51] <jgraham> Maybe s/How about/Should the Working Group produce/
- # [22:51] <Lachy> 3d canvas could probably be done in webapi
- # [22:51] * DanC finds "q2" references hard to follow; pls use a keyword or two when referring to questions; call it the tutorial question rather than q2
- # [22:52] <DanC> yes, "How about" is overly colloquial; fixed
- # [22:55] * DanC tweaks "5. Where should work ..." question text
- # [22:55] <DanC> I'm pretty happy with it now
- # [22:57] <Philip> s/XMLHTTPRequest/XMLHttpRequest/
- # [22:58] * DanC isn't inclined to bother with that
- # [22:58] * DanC tries mjs by cell; loses. hmm.

- # [23:05] <DanC> hmm... the requirement formal question doesn't have separate "no" and "formally object" options.
- # [23:11] <hober> which is the 'requirement formal question'?
- # [23:13] <DanC> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/req-gapi-canvas/

- # [23:24] <DanC> yes
- # [23:25] <DanC> though the 32 is low due to a bug; it should could public invited experts, I think
