Meeting minutes

This meeting

Nigel: Only 2 things on the agenda: IMSC/Rec link and TTML2 Tests
… AOB?

group: [no Other Business]

IMSC 1.2 /rec link

Nigel: There's been input from Atsushi, Philippe and Pierre on this. Status?

Atsushi: It seems I cannot create the final product only using Respec, so maybe it will be
… easiest to copy the finished public HTML and make the edits manually for the GitHub
… branch and in-place publication.
… If that is okay and we do not need to edit the Respec-based file on GitHub that would be easier.

Pierre: It'd be better if GitHub matches exactly what was published. What is the challenge?

Atsushi: There is no feature to add some text right after dates in Respec-based HTML.
… That is the critical thing we need to do.

Pierre: My suggestion is to file an issue with Respec.
… In the past for issues that block publication they have fixed it very quickly.
… That's my suggestion - file an issue with Respec.

Atsushi: One question is how the current file was published. Do you know?
… It seems there is some local editing of the HTML since I encountered the ID conflict
… in IMSC 1.0.1.

Pierre: The editor does not do the publication so I cannot tell you.
… But by the way I see that there is a post-process Javascript, so we can use that to modify the title.

Atsushi: I thought that at some point there is a difficulty in getting the exact element to
… append to. It seems there is no ID for the element by default.

Pierre: You might be right, but my point is still that we should at least file an issue with Respec
… and give us 2-3 weeks. If there's no resolution then we'll have to do it manually.
… Other things being equal it would be better to fix the tool.
… Otherwise we will keep running into the same issue.

Atsushi: Maybe a stupid question: do we want to keep the Respec version of HTML for
… future edits? Do we have any plan to update the revisions?
… Like 1.1 revision 2 or something?

Pierre: That's not been the case in the past - in the case of 1.0 we ultimately published
… 1.0.1 instead of 1.0 v2.

Atsushi: I wonder if we don't expect large edits on existing Recs then it might be okay to
… just have the published HTML.
… in the GitHub repository.

Pierre: I would really rather not.
… It seems like a huge step backward to keep track of the complete HTML.
… Respec is an officially supported publishing tool.

Nigel: I'd support Pierre in that - we don't need to keep the published HTML in GitHub
… for archival purposes - that's already on /TR and backed up separately.
… The GitHub repo is for us to work on, so it makes sense to keep the Respec version.

Atsushi: Okay let me file a feature request to Respec and in parallel find a way to do something.

Nigel: Sounds good, thank you.

Atsushi: How do we do IMSC 1.2 CR? For CR there is no in-place replacement process so
… we need to publish a new CR.

Pierre: Just wait until PR.

Atsushi: It's fine to keep this open until PR?

Pierre: My understanding is that publishing a new CR is difficult.
… If it is trivial then let's do it otherwise keep this open until PR.

Nigel: I would ask for a pragmatic response from the team on this, because there's no
… change to the document content.

Atsushi: There's no requirement to pass reviews for an editorial document update, so
… it should be fine to reissue the transition request if there's a CfC.

Nigel: I will not issue a new CfC because we already have a minuted resolution for this.

Atsushi: OK, let me submit that way and issue a pull request to update the document.

Nigel: OK, sounds good to me. Thank you.

TTML2 2nd Edition Implementation Report

Nigel: Tests are still being reviewed and merged one by one.
… We have 6 issues on ttml2-tests for 2nd Edition, and
… 4 open Pull Requests. I have a pull request to make the audio in body test work with my audio implementation, which I will merge when the test is merged.

Glenn: I have a couple of tweaks to make on the lineheight normal test, a shear test change
… to make, a couple of possible bugs. I should be able to wrap those up then make a run
… on the implementation report itself.
… So nothing more to discuss right now I think.

AOB

Nigel: There's a new CSS issue on ruby offset, you may be interested in.

Glenn: I had planned to put that in a future Ruby module, but don't plan to do any work
… on it at the moment.

[w3c/csswg-drafts] [css-ruby] Ruby offset (#4932)

Nigel: Just for information - I pointed out that we used to have ruby offset in TTML2 but
… removed it, in part because of the lack of CSS implementation.

Meeting close

Nigel: Thanks everyone, we've completed our agenda, so we'll close for today.
… Do add agenda items to the agenda issue on GitHub please, by Tuesday, so the Chairs
… can prepare the agenda.
