SP: DAISY paying for travel expenses; a lot of ground to cover; DAISY become very involved in push to new XHTML2 draft
15:09:44 [oedipus]
CW: if want to speak with john and me, can set it up
15:10:22 [oedipus]
SP: don't anticipate any problems -- want to foster question and answers
15:10:46 [unl]
zakim, mute me
15:10:46 [Zakim]
unl should now be muted
15:10:48 [oedipus]
CW: as chair, need to present view of XG - that's why what we've been discussing lately
15:11:14 [oedipus]
CW: AC meeting next week - monday future of the web (Xtechnologies versus HTML)
15:11:28 [oedipus]
CW: mixing and matching technologies into Rich Web App programming model
15:11:52 [oedipus]
CW: details of prototype - SMIL, XForms, SVG, ODF - ubiquity platform way to get to clients
15:12:12 [unl]
zakim, unmute me
15:12:12 [Zakim]
unl should no longer be muted
15:12:14 [oedipus]
JJ: trust CW and SP to represent views on the matter
15:13:17 [oedipus]
Uli: 2 key points - web is not defined by browser; distributed extensibility - clumsy in HTML, get for free in XHTML/XML core with namespaces -- basis for mixing dialects; HTML with special SVG and MathML handling not practical solution
15:14:03 [oedipus]
CW: RDFa clean example of extensibility
15:14:55 [oedipus]
GJR: ARIA, too - HTML WG wants to swallow and hard-wire ARIA or sub-set of ARIA - not good, needs to be namespace reference so PF/WAI can keep ARIA updated - ARIA 2 wish list already very large
15:15:06 [oedipus]
SP: attributes don't get removed from DOM; not sure about elements
15:15:15 [oedipus]
CW: using ubiquity using a lot of elements
15:15:47 [oedipus]
SP: messy extension mechanism - basis of browser wars: proprietary elements and interpretations
15:16:07 [oedipus]
SP: ended up with tag soup and tag synonomic syndrome
15:16:27 [oedipus]
CW: Sam Ruby's response good; distributed accessibility as Uli described
15:16:29 [jackjansen]
synonomic???
15:16:48 [oedipus]
TOPIC: Reports
15:16:55 [oedipus]
CW: new implementations?
15:17:11 [oedipus]
JJ: been very busy with tool application paper and thesis
15:18:00 [oedipus]
CW: been implementing rich text control in ubiquity - allows inline editor to use markup to be captured in data section of XForms - best for boilerplate forms use
15:18:52 [oedipus]
TOPIC: collaborative financial planning scenario demo
15:19:06 [oedipus]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-app-backplane/2009Mar/att-0004/scenario.html
15:19:21 [oedipus]
cover emessage: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-app-backplane/2009Mar/0004.html
15:19:44 [oedipus]
CW: proposed list of features we could explore in the
15:19:44 [oedipus]
financial planning Backplane applicatio
15:19:58 [oedipus]
CW: UI aspects need to be discussed
15:20:08 [jackjansen]
q+
15:20:24 [oedipus]
CW: continue to be excited about rich set of visualizations, wiring techs together, SMIL and/or SCXML
15:20:36 [oedipus]
CW: were do we want to jump in and start work
15:20:45 [oedipus]
TOPIC: SVG and Ubiquity
15:21:15 [oedipus]
CW: mark birbeck keen on SVG for browser controls; been checking support for SVG - support in Safari, WebKit, and FF
15:22:25 [oedipus]
CW: have earlier demos from emerging technologies group wired into U.S. tax form - have some javascript can steal from there to construct SVG element as result of data mining mode set - bind to data model and extract node sets from repeat, pass on to SVG generator (ubiquity custom control) to produce pie chart for data model
15:23:01 [oedipus]
GJR: it would be a very good test of SVG interacting with ARIA and the XHTML Access Module
15:24:31 [oedipus]
GJR: ARIA to augment DESC and TITLE in SVG and Access Module to provide tab navigation
15:24:45 [oedipus]
JJ: buzzwords for SMIL in ARIA -
15:25:06 [oedipus]
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria
15:25:16 [unl]
zakim, mute me
15:25:16 [Zakim]
unl should now be muted
15:25:28 [oedipus]
http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/XTech/SVG
15:26:01 [oedipus]
JJ: returning to question: scenario document - would like to take step back - if do this demo, what are the reasons we are doing it?
15:26:25 [oedipus]
JJ: a lot on integration side, but miss why doing in web app and not in C++ as stand-alone app
15:26:52 [oedipus]
JJ: in "requirements" there are some that apply to networks - should perhaps have section on why do with web app instead of stand-alone app
15:27:02 [jackjansen]
q-
15:27:06 [oedipus]
CW: what are the backplane technologies is included
15:27:23 [oedipus]
CW: illustrate patterns; nothing in scenario on network access per se
15:27:33 [oedipus]
CW: could say all web technology good for apps
15:27:45 [oedipus]
GJR: foundation of standardization, ease of use, consistency
15:28:06 [oedipus]
JJ: platform independence in the web space - gives one access to tremendous resources; should spell out
15:28:14 [oedipus]
CW: should do where discuss data feeds
15:28:31 [oedipus]
JJ: at top say "joining a financial circle" - some social networking involved
15:28:39 [oedipus]
CW: OpenSocial discussions
15:29:10 [oedipus]
q+ to say working on ARIA and XHTML Role enabled OpenSocial implementation (virtual visually impaired computer users group)
15:29:14 [oedipus]
ack me
15:29:14 [Zakim]
oedipus, you wanted to say working on ARIA and XHTML Role enabled OpenSocial implementation (virtual visually impaired computer users group)
15:30:08 [oedipus]
GJR: describes OpenSocail VICUG initiative
15:30:45 [oedipus]
CW: built xforms front end for shindig - simple back end to shindig - model relationships - use jump start for configuration of the app
15:30:53 [oedipus]
CW: this could be filled in later
15:31:15 [oedipus]
GJR: if you build something from the inside out, you'll have no difficulty penetrating from the outside in
15:31:32 [oedipus]
CW: SVG navigation through pie chart - not accessible example
15:33:09 [oedipus]
GJR: 2 points: 1 is the SVG itself should be WCAG compliant, without question because it helps general usability as well as accessibility; the second important point is: strategies for repurposing data before it gets to SVG - in other words, mulitple means of compiling and rendering the data setshould be repurposed for those who
15:34:05 [oedipus]
GJR: tools that SVG offers natively - DESC and TITLE;
15:34:49 [oedipus]
CW: roles attached to SVG element auto-generated
15:35:25 [oedipus]
GJR: i need to find out more about the auto-generation process so i can not only advise on SVG accessibility, but can work on a mechanism for repurposing the data set
15:35:40 [oedipus]
CW: will post to the email list - or, better, use the wiki
15:35:53 [oedipus]
CW: will post script code for you to investigate
15:35:59 [oedipus]
GJR: that would be great
15:36:32 [oedipus]
CW: similar approach to mapping -- wrapping in ubiquity framework
15:36:46 [oedipus]
SP: not able to take on more work right now
15:37:02 [oedipus]
SP: hoping to get his code, but can't
15:37:28 [oedipus]
s/the data setshould be repurposed for those who/the data sets
15:38:03 [oedipus]
SP: in ubiquity, uses class to turn control into google map at latitude and longitude given; solved use case, but doesn't demonstrate power of mechanism to create class from scratch
15:38:09 [oedipus]
JJ: pointer, please?
15:39:34 [oedipus]
SP: class is "geolocation" - have range bound to object with 2 numbers (lat. and long.) but class="geolocation" on that and turns into google map; if drag, will move latitude and longitude
15:39:38 [oedipus]
SP: was working last week
15:39:45 [oedipus]
Uli: doesn't work in Safari
15:39:57 [oedipus]
SP: demoed at mozilla conference using FireFox and Opera
15:41:34 [oedipus]
JJ: can't type into location field
15:41:48 [oedipus]
SP: slides load 2 javascript libraries - one for slides, the other for ubiquity
15:41:59 [oedipus]
SP: if type a "k" turns off key handling on slider
15:42:24 [oedipus]
CW: at top is source file for page
15:42:35 [oedipus]
CW: changes directory with exchanges working on
15:43:39 [oedipus]
GJR: works ok as far as i can tell with speech
15:44:14 [oedipus]
CW: will follow up on picking up coding within RWAB - already checked into ubiquity repository and need to test on newer versions
15:45:31 [oedipus]
SP: had sidewinder browser - whole directory of great examples; when updated, erased google maps example; did google maps only in XForms; if have control that is lattitude and longitude, updated control with views of map using tiles as google maps does, but doesn't matter where tiles come from - selection of world map titles to choose from - very simple expression in a bind
15:45:58 [oedipus]
SP: could select different mapping services with surprisingly little code - about 25k of xforms and extra stuff
15:46:10 [oedipus]
CW: different javascript for each mapping service?
15:46:28 [oedipus]
SP: mapping services deliver tiles as URLs indicating which tile you are using;
15:46:41 [oedipus]
SP: using XBL was able to map onto entire mapping experience
15:47:11 [oedipus]
CW: 2 use cases: 1 is hiding deep script the other is binding on back end bindings and communicating them over the wire
15:47:16 [oedipus]
CW: both valid
15:47:38 [oedipus]
CW: SMIL?
15:47:51 [oedipus]
JJ: using SMIL as control language is area of interest
15:47:57 [oedipus]
GJR: would that be with SCXML?
15:48:26 [oedipus]
CW: SMIL alongside other objects/elements; SMIL as external controller versus running as internal application
15:49:12 [oedipus]
JJ: XHTML+SMIL (MS spec) - also work on timesheets - small constructs - what stylesheets do for style timesheets does for applying timing
15:49:27 [oedipus]
CW: SMIL block control rest of page or doing own thing internally
15:49:50 [oedipus]
JJ: need to determine event model; even as control language, don't see how many things there are that need control in financial app
15:50:10 [oedipus]
CW: wrestled with that; auto-log-out after inactivity, etc.
15:50:22 [oedipus]
CW: wizard-style navigation - controlled sequence of tabs in a wizard
15:50:23 [oedipus]
JJ: yes
15:50:39 [oedipus]
CW: could you post about these things?
15:51:12 [oedipus]
JJ: XHTML+SMIL - http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusSMIL/
15:51:48 [oedipus]
JJ: timesheets [scribe will add link]
15:52:04 [oedipus]
JJ: relevance another way to allow SMIL timing to interact with XHTML or HTML documents
15:52:34 [oedipus]
CW: GJR mentioned opera's XHTML+Voice plugin - should investigate overlap
15:52:42 [oedipus]
TOPIC: Follow Up
15:52:57 [oedipus]
CW: will post script code to wiki; JJ will post on SMIL patterns
15:53:05 [oedipus]
JJ: won't be done by next week
15:53:14 [oedipus]
CW: should cancell next week because of AC meeting
