SteveZ: this session is because there were a lot of concerns about what wide-review means in the Process 2014 document
17:47:51 [timeless]
... so I wanted to describe the rationale between Process 2005 and Process 2014
17:48:02 [timeless]
... and b) suggest things that could be done to achieve Wide Review
17:48:09 [timeless]
... and c) answer questions / issues
17:48:19 [timeless]
... no slides for this
17:48:33 [timeless]
... in decisions that went into Process 2014 (revision of Chapter 7)
17:48:47 [timeless]
... a key thing was to enable groups to begin work earlier in their process than implied in Process 2005
17:49:04 [timeless]
... over the years, we've discovered that groups begin getting reviews/testcases/implementations earlier in their process
17:49:14 [timeless]
... are more effective at getting out of the process
17:49:22 [timeless]
... one of the stages was Last Call
17:49:30 [timeless]
... which unfortunately had two things attached
17:49:50 [timeless]
... when it was created it was "The WG thinks it has completed its work, Object now or forever hold your peace"
17:50:00 [timeless]
... when the Patent Policy was created, it needed an anchor point
17:50:20 [timeless]
... they says "since, LC is when the group finished its work", "we'll attach the Patent process to that"
17:50:26 [timeless]
... but, it turns out the group wasn't finished there
17:50:45 [timeless]
... and secondly, WGs weren't serious about LC = Done
17:50:49 [timeless]
... we'd get a series of LCs
17:50:56 [timeless]
... there's an objection that the series of LCs
17:51:32 [timeless]
... you could do LC->CR->LC->CR
17:51:32 [timeless]
... because patent consideration was tied to LC
17:51:34 [timeless]
... we've transferred the Patent Commitment to CR
17:51:40 [timeless]
... it's less likely to cycle
17:51:47 [timeless]
... and if you cycle, you cycle in CR
17:51:52 [timeless]
... this had a bad side-effect
17:51:56 [timeless]
... it removed an opportunity to say
17:52:04 [timeless]
... "speak now or forever hold your peace"
17:52:08 [timeless]
... before i go down that route
17:52:14 [timeless]
... the other thing we did in terms of wide-review
17:52:37 [timeless]
present+ Pete_Resnick
17:52:52 [timeless]
... reviews at LC was way too late in many circumstances
17:53:03 [timeless]
... another thing, was to drop LC as the review step
17:53:09 [timeless]
... saying "review when things are stable"
17:53:14 [timeless]
... review incrementally as things go along
17:53:23 [timeless]
... review continuously
17:53:34 [timeless]
... changing from "met requirement of making an announcement"
17:53:42 [timeless]
... to "met requirement if people have reviewed it"
17:53:59 [timeless]
[ 7.2.3.1 Wide Review ]
17:54:12 [timeless]
SteveZ: so instead of a check for publishing a request for review
17:54:19 [timeless]
... you have to show reviews
17:54:27 [timeless]
... one thing was Disposition of Comments (DoC)
17:54:42 [timeless]
... if all comments came from Implementers, it probably wasn't Wide Review
17:54:48 [timeless]
... there's an emphasis to reach out early
17:54:55 [timeless]
... some groups have an IG (Interest Group) list
17:54:59 [timeless]
... and send things out there
17:55:08 [timeless]
... show by getting comments from outside, that they've met the requirement
17:55:25 [timeless]
... so, change from checkbox, to actual substantive response

nigel: going through this, the W3C has a Liaison list
17:56:38 [timeless]
... in addition to the Charter dependencies, I also went to the Liaison list
17:56:57 [timeless]
... perhaps it would be beneficial to update that list to include Liaisons in the process
17:57:02 [timeless]
SteveZ: you're doing Timed Text
17:57:10 [timeless]
... clearly an area where groups outside W3C have a documented interest
17:57:16 [timeless]
... other things where it would be less useful
17:57:22 [timeless]
... because the technology is more internal
17:57:34 [timeless]
nigel: but then there wouldn't be anything in the liaisons page, so it wouldn't occur
17:58:17 [timeless]
[ nigel will create an action in #w3process to open an issue to add liaisons to 7.2.3.1 ]

trackbot: Created ACTION-37 - Open an issue to add liaisons to what's considered in the wide review paragraph 7.2.3.1 [on Steve Zilles - due 2014-11-05].
17:58:59 [trackbot]
Sorry, nigel, I don't understand 'trackbot: Created ACTION-37 - Open an issue to add liaisons to what's considered in the wide review paragraph 7.2.3.1 [on Steve Zilles - due 2014-11-05].'. Please refer to <http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/irc> for help.
17:59:03 [timeless]
... i was attracted by this
17:59:07 [timeless]
... we too tried to solicit it
17:59:20 [timeless]
... people are often trying to do a semi-final review
17:59:27 [timeless]
... but resist multiple reviews
17:59:50 [timeless]
SteveZ: the process we did before was largely based on IETF process at the time this was written
17:59:55 [timeless]
barry: we thought as well
18:00:02 [timeless]
SteveZ: what are we trying to do?
18:00:06 [timeless]
... one is dependencies
18:00:13 [timeless]
... adding liaisons is relevant there
18:00:33 [timeless]
... we're trying to advise people to, if you have a dependency, go talk to those people and work out a schedule for review
18:00:42 [timeless]
... some are dependent to horizontal WGs
18:00:47 [timeless]
... who are way overloaded w/ work
18:01:00 [timeless]
... so you want to give them time when it's stable enough to review
18:01:13 [timeless]
... but not before it's concrete -- that it can't be changed
18:01:29 [timeless]
... LC isn't that, because that's you think it's complete, what did we miss
18:01:40 [timeless]
... this is a goal, i don't how it will work out
18:01:45 [timeless]
... it's an extra burden on the Chairs
18:01:52 [timeless]
barry: on the Chairs, and the reviewers
18:02:03 [timeless]
SteveZ: presumably the reviewers want to review, because they don't want their ox gored
18:02:22 [timeless]
barry: we're trying on a case-by-case basis, you as a chair can ask for a review from a particular group for review
18:02:25 [timeless]
... it doesn't scale
18:02:35 [timeless]
... it's only seldom requested, there's a hope
18:02:39 [timeless]
... we're only getting 15% success
18:02:47 [timeless]
... it's hard to get people to review early/intermediate versions
18:02:50 [timeless]
... we're stumped
18:02:56 [timeless]
SteveZ: i'm not offering a panacea
18:03:09 [timeless]
... mentioning a discussion, the other group may come back and say "here's what's critical to us"
18:03:24 [timeless]
... so you know what might trigger them, to be more successful in getting reviews
18:03:33 [timeless]
... In our WG, we'll get a Review request, and the answer is no
18:03:54 [timeless]
... unless you can get something likely to be in the document that's likely to be a problem, no one wants to look at it
18:04:07 [timeless]
... hopefully conversations may lead to better results, than just throwing it over the wall
18:04:11 [timeless]
barry: agreed
18:04:19 [timeless]
SteveZ: WG members may be active and doing this 24 hours a day
18:04:23 [timeless]
... other reviewers aren't
18:04:31 [timeless]
... you're lucky to get one review, you need to make it count
18:04:34 [Zakim]
Zakim has joined #widereview
18:04:46 [timeless]
... when you clearly have an identified dependency, you can reach out
18:04:50 [timeless]
... the other thing suggested
18:05:05 [timeless]
... fantasi had an action item to propose
18:05:16 [timeless]
... something to help w/ the review process
18:05:33 [timeless]
... we've observed that the development of a standard doesn't progress at a uniform rate
18:05:42 [timeless]
... some pieces (often core) progress faster than others
18:05:50 [timeless]
... it would be useful to mark sections of the document w/ stability
18:05:59 [timeless]
... CSS developed a system called Shepherd
18:06:08 [timeless]
... that scans through our documents, we have markup, and ToC
18:06:15 [timeless]
... and our test-database is driven off those IDs
18:06:22 [timeless]
... we use IDs, section numbers may change
18:06:27 [timeless]
... IDs don't change as much
18:06:46 [timeless]
... we can automatically generate a version of the document indicating which tests have passed in which browsers
18:06:57 [timeless]
... it wouldn't take too much effort to do this, if we could indicate stability
18:07:04 [timeless]
... to automatically generate section warnings
18:07:17 [timeless]
... and if changes are tied to ids, we could include links to change fields
18:07:32 [timeless]
... for people reviewing it more than once, they can see which sections have changed recently
18:07:37 [timeless]
... since they last saw it
18:07:45 [timeless]
... and therefore see what they need to re-review
18:07:53 [timeless]
... trying to make the documents reviewer friendly is another piece
18:07:58 [timeless]
... we don't have that technology in place
18:08:01 [timeless]
... there's no funding
18:08:10 [timeless]
... it's a couple of CSS WG members working on it
18:08:12 [nigel]
+1 to making it easier for people to answer the question "how stable is this [section of this] document?"
18:08:16 [timeless]
... we have it for testing level
18:08:21 [timeless]
... we can in principle extend it
18:08:34 [timeless]
barry: are all W3C drafts developed with the same markup
18:08:39 [timeless]
timeless: there are 2 that are used
18:08:41 [timeless]
barry: that helps
18:08:54 [timeless]
... we have many different
18:08:59 [timeless]
SteveZ: i understand you have an effort to try to standardize
18:09:04 [timeless]
barry: yes
18:09:19 [timeless]
SteveZ: there's a wiki, has most of the information that I said
18:09:28 [timeless]
... except why the process changed
18:09:52 [timeless]
... in the previous session, nigel pointed out it'd be useful to say why the process changed
18:10:04 [timeless]
barry: in IETF, groups will write a document, and not know who their dependencies are
18:10:19 [timeless]
... they'll stick something in, and not realize that they've created a dependency
18:10:22 [nigel]
s/why the process changed/what the goals of wide review are
18:10:27 [timeless]
... getting it wrong, they'll break things
18:10:38 [timeless]
... getting them to know that when they say URI/UTF,
18:10:41 [timeless]
... that they need to consult
18:10:48 [timeless]
SteveZ: we have more process in forming a Group
18:10:54 [timeless]
... we say a Charter needs to list dependencies
18:11:01 [timeless]
... Horizontal WGs need to review charters
18:11:06 [timeless]
... doesn't really address your problem
18:11:16 [timeless]
... because Charters are approved by AC members as a whole
18:11:18 [timeless]
... there's a Vote
18:11:39 [timeless]
... there's a better chance that the AC member looks at a Charter to see if a reviewer thinks there's a relation
18:11:43 [timeless]
barry: we have a similar process
18:11:52 [timeless]
... but someone says "this string is a character encoded in UTF-8"
18:12:07 [timeless]
... all of a sudden it has comparison
18:12:07 [timeless]
... but it wasn't in the Charter
18:12:25 [timeless]
pete: often in a routing protocol
18:12:57 [timeless]
barry: we have this problem, you have this problem, we're both trying to solve it
18:13:06 [timeless]
SteveZ: no, we're both doing experiments to try to improve this
18:13:15 [timeless]
q+ to talk about flagging content
18:13:25 [timeless]
nigel: you talked about typical duration for review
18:13:48 [timeless]
[ Working Groups should announce to other W3C Working Groups as well as the general public, ]
18:13:49 [timeless]
[ especially those affected by this specification, a proposal to enter Candidate Recommendation (for example in approximately four weeks). ]
18:13:57 [timeless]
nigel: when you talk to industry bodies
18:14:01 [timeless]
... they might not meet very often
18:14:10 [timeless]
... and their secretarial skills aren't great
18:14:15 [timeless]
... they might sit down in six months
18:14:21 [timeless]
... it probably conflicts with a good practice
18:14:34 [timeless]
... to state in the document when the end of review period is
18:14:40 [timeless]
SteveZ: i think that review end is required
18:14:47 [resnick]
resnick has joined #widereview
18:14:51 [timeless]
nigel: reviewers will see the document after the review ends
18:14:55 [timeless]
... and not know what to do
18:15:08 [timeless]
SteveZ: for a Liaison, you should have set this up
18:16:23 [timeless]
timeless: is there a stopword list that you could write a bot for?
18:16:28 [timeless]
s/is/barry, is/
18:16:31 [timeless]
barry: for some, yes
18:18:40 [SteveZ]
consider: https://www.w3.org/wiki/DocumentReview
18:18:41 [timeless]
timeless: types of reviews
18:19:02 [timeless]
barry: if we flag "this mentions UTF8", that's easier to get someone to review
18:19:04 [timeless]
... since they only have to look for UTF8 in the document
18:19:18 [timeless]
pete: security has been good to have a directorate
18:19:24 [timeless]
... they farm out documents to people
18:19:28 [timeless]
barry: that works at LC
18:19:36 [timeless]
... the area has asked about early reviews
18:19:48 [timeless]
... and Directorate has said NO
18:19:57 [timeless]
pete: because they'd get double their work
18:20:04 [timeless]
SteveZ: i discussed that w/ Accessibility
18:20:11 [timeless]
... and they said it creates as many problems as it solves
18:20:28 [timeless]
SteveZ: this document (DocumentReview)
18:20:33 [timeless]
barry: we could have written that
18:20:50 [timeless]
barry: we can get more than one shot for a particular document
18:20:58 [timeless]
... but if we try for lots of documents, it would collapse
18:21:16 [timeless]
SteveZ: if the reviewing group indicates the kinds of concerns the chair should be aware of
18:21:25 [timeless]
... he may go ask for advice earlier if he sees those red flags being raised
18:21:36 [timeless]
... i think opening dialogue will make this work better
18:21:41 [timeless]
nigel: back to time-frames
18:21:47 [timeless]
... how do you prevent that from happening
18:21:54 [timeless]
... the other question for the WG
18:22:03 [timeless]
... what is the status for comments after Review closes
18:22:16 [timeless]
... you got a bunch of comments that came after
18:22:36 [timeless]
s/after/during and you got out of LC/
18:22:42 [timeless]
... then you get more comments
18:22:51 [timeless]
SteveZ: there's an official answer and an unofficial answer
18:22:55 [timeless]
... there's a risk of a DoS
18:23:09 [timeless]
... practically, if the problems are real, the WG should want to try to fix it
18:23:12 [timeless]
s/it/them/
18:23:23 [timeless]
... if someone feels they're being unfairly treated, there's an appeals process
18:23:28 [timeless]
nigel: worst-case scenario
18:23:34 [timeless]
... comments come @ CR
18:23:39 [timeless]
... you decide to go to PR
18:23:45 [timeless]
... you have comments w/o DoC
18:23:53 [timeless]
... it'd be clear if you should have a DoC on all, or all
18:24:06 [timeless]
SteveZ: typically the DoC would be postponed to a future version
18:24:29 [timeless]
nigel: so there's a requirement on the WG to make a decision (postponed) on the comment
18:24:38 [timeless]
SteveZ: there's a default-decision "came after comment deadline"
18:24:45 [timeless]
... you could record that w/o the WG making a decision
18:24:51 [timeless]
... good practice would be that you should note the comment
18:25:07 [timeless]
... and the person noting should respond saying "i think the WG should postpone, do you agree?"
18:25:17 [timeless]
... we've had cases where a group was totally overloaded
18:29:48 [Ralph_]
Ralph_ has joined #widereview
18:31:42 [timeless]
barry: we have who are people who aren't totally abusive, but they keep drawing the discussion out beyond where it makes sense
18:31:42 [timeless]
SteveZ: these are all judgement calls, you don't want to make rules that don't make them judgement
18:31:42 [timeless]
mdjp: github comments
18:31:42 [timeless]
... we have lots of issues, they're commented on outside W3C
18:31:42 [timeless]
... that's continuous
18:31:42 [timeless]
SteveZ: if you have a way of quickly summarizing that, i think that would be perfectly adequate
18:31:42 [timeless]
... there's no requirement for an official wide review
18:31:42 [timeless]
... if you can provide evidence
18:31:43 [timeless]
... i believe you've established there's been wide review
18:31:43 [timeless]
... it's important to show people beyond implementers
18:31:43 [timeless]
... and the key groups are in that set
18:31:44 [timeless]
mdjp: you can identify logs where you have gaps
18:31:44 [timeless]
... and you can target those groups
18:31:44 [timeless]
barry: now one who's expert in that has reviewed it
18:31:45 [timeless]
SteveZ: automating is great
18:31:45 [timeless]
... we're not trying to make work
18:31:45 [timeless]
... we're trying to make sure the right eyes have seen it
18:31:46 [timeless]
barry: a lot of this is having Chairs do the right thing
18:31:46 [timeless]
... and training the chairs
18:31:46 [timeless]
... what do you do in the line of Chair Training?
18:31:47 [timeless]
SteveZ: not much/enough
18:31:47 [timeless]
... this is the only SDO i know of where an appointment doesn't involve Chair training
18:31:47 [timeless]
barry: there's Chair training they sometimes do before the meeting
18:31:48 [timeless]
... and there's a Wednesday lunch for Chair training
18:31:48 [timeless]
s/before/the Sunday before/
18:32:23 [timeless]
SteveZ: w3c has recently established a number of Chair Training Phone Calls

18:33:05 [timeless]

nigel: you mentioned if all reviews are from implementers, that's not enough, it's not wide
18:34:53 [timeless]
... but evidence of implementation can be evidence of review
18:35:00 [timeless]
... since you can't implement without reading
18:35:06 [timeless]
SteveZ2: the way our process is
18:35:17 [timeless]
... you weren't going to get anywhere unless there were implementations anyway
18:35:31 [timeless]
... but it isn't the reviewers we're concerned about
18:35:49 [timeless]
... it's dealing with the communities that could be disrupted or disenfranchized if this becomes a standard
18:36:14 [nigel]
timeless: I've dealt with implementers who see problems and ignore them

timeless: They pick an answer silently, without notifying anyone. They do /something/ but nobody realises it's not what was intended in the spec until much later.
18:36:51 [nigel]
... Most implementers aren't noisy like that.
18:37:11 [nigel]
fantasai: An implementer who says something would be counted for wide review evidence
18:37:32 [SteveZ2]
Timeless: there are implementers that will just jump over problems without reporting them so implementations are not total proof of review
18:37:33 [nigel]
timeless: When browser devs implement something what actually matters is usage in websites.
18:37:44 [nigel]
... Website devs are even worse than browser devs!

18:38:28 [nigel]
timeless: You have to go and look at website code to see if they've put nasty comments in about your spec!
18:38:28 [nigel]
... It's a nasty thing to go and hunt those comments down.
18:38:47 [nigel]
... We've begged for years for this kind of feedback, and we're lucky to get feedback from 5 sites, out of billions!
18:38:57 [nigel]
... A way to harvest those comments would be beneficial.
18:39:26 [nigel]
... A way to demonstrate searches on stackoverflow, etc would be good.
18:39:49 [nigel]
... Conversely if people don't comment on the likely sites e.g. stackoverflow, then that may be evidence that there isn't a problem
18:40:05 [SteveZ2]
timeless: reviewing the comments in code on key websites and/or on stack overflow will show evidence of wide review

nigel: W3C generally wants to make
18:41:42 [timeless]
... everyone wants to include "the general public" in "wide review"
18:41:48 [timeless]
... the best way to make things visible
18:41:54 [timeless]
... is "the w3c home page"
18:42:08 [timeless]
... if you put things in /TR/, you can ask staff to put things on the w3 home page
18:42:18 [timeless]
... it's been proposed to have a Blog or something for announcing reviews
18:42:28 [timeless]
SteveZ2: the DocumentReview wiki documents making reviews happen
18:42:37 [timeless]
... it's asking the W3C to make a mailing list
18:42:42 [timeless]
... there's an issue of what the name should be
18:42:52 [timeless]
... i think that will happen
18:42:56 [timeless]
... it's not last-call
18:43:08 [timeless]
... the intent is that you identify what you want reviewed in the Status section
18:43:23 [timeless]
... because it may not be the whole document, perhaps just a recent change
18:43:30 [timeless]
nigel: some organizations have an "Official Journal"
18:43:34 [timeless]
... it's widely known to the world
18:43:40 [timeless]
... a clear statement from W3 that this is the place
18:43:53 [timeless]

18:44:42 [timeless]
joanie: i did this by ranting, and i got a lot of replies
18:45:02 [timeless]
... if your stakeholders are web developers, and spit out a single tweet with a link to the document and a few appropriate hashtags
18:45:12 [timeless]
... a couple of stakeholders will retweet
18:45:30 [timeless]
SteveZ2: we should consider using all channels that are available
18:45:53 [timeless]
joanie: i've used Twitter to complain about web developers doing things
18:46:05 [timeless]
... and then developers reply explaining why they did it
18:46:15 [timeless]
SteveZ2: two other things in consideration
18:46:18 [timeless]
... besides the ML
18:46:28 [timeless]
... one is a dashboard page listing which active reviews
18:46:32 [timeless]
... and secondly a Calendar
18:46:35 [timeless]
... listing reviews closing
18:46:44 [timeless]
... I think, if we could automate it
18:46:51 [timeless]
... different views of the same information
18:47:08 [timeless]

... we'll send it to places
18:47:31 [timeless]

18:47:46 [timeless]

18:48:06 [timeless]

18:48:24 [timeless]
SteveZ2: developing an Interest community is a valuable way to get comments from others than implementers
18:48:34 [timeless]
... not the public exactly, but people who are following
18:48:48 [timeless]
... for CSS, it's www-style
18:48:55 [timeless]
... but we can get answers in the 50s
18:48:57 [timeless]

18:49:06 [timeless]
fantasai: i think we'd benefit from a less technical channel
18:49:11 [timeless]

18:49:31 [timeless]
