Nothing to report.

Publication plans

Web Conference reviewers have inquired about our publication plans:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ixml/2023Mar/0000.html

SP: the reviewer of his dev-track proposal clearly knew the right questions to ask. The answer should presumably be 'yes'.

NW: if we can figure out what the rules are, I'll see how hard it will be to do it.

ACTION: SP to find the rules for publishing as community-group report so we can consider what needs to be done.

ACTION: NDTW to take a first pass at generating the community-group report in a form that satisfies W3C rules.

Modifying test catalog for Unicode and other dependencies

MSM talked us through the proposal.

MSM suggested that we need to distinguish three distinct things: run-time options (which are there now in some test catalogs), environment properties (not under direct implementation control), and dependencies like the dependency on a given version of Unicode.

JL observed we might take a leaf from the QT3 test suite

We discussed the proposal and came the conclusion (in NDTW's words) that it could be done differently, but only experience will tell, so we should run with it for now.

ACTION: MSM to work out some examples of options, environment, and dependencies elements, and update the test catalog tag set documentation.

Next meeting

April 11.

Adjourned at 54 minutes past the hour.
