wsrp-markup meeting notes, charter, preliminary f2f agenda items

Please excuse the multiple postings, but I wanted to make sure that anyone interested in the wsrp-markup subcommittee sees this post.

We did have a telecon meeting today, even though there were only three participants on the call. Since there was not adequate advance notice, I won't treat it as a regularly scheduled meeting. So I won't post minutes, nor record attendance this time. However we did decide that due to schedule a regular meeting week after next, Wednesday, April 30, 2003 at

8 am PST / 11 am EST / 5 pm CET, 1 hour

US dial in #: 1.888.481.3032
International Dial in #: 1.617.801.9600

I have also added it to the sc calendar, so the call-in information can be found there as well.

The agenda for that meeting is:

Finalize and Vote on Charter.

Here is the charter as it exists so far:

Mailing-List

Deliverables
The deliverables of this subcommittee will be:

Publish Reports fulfilling the numbered items of our listed purposes.

Preliminary agenda items for f2f:

* Section 6.2 getMarkup() Operation: caching of markup fragments, Cachability, and Cache Invalidation;

* Section 10 Markup: Markup Fragment Rules for various implementations

* templates and scripting considerations, including the addition of specification information such as javascript in headers, including issues of "look and feel" for standard common features such as buttons, and including user interface description language options.

It should be noted that we have only identified specific areas from the existing charter that pertain to issues we think should be discussed in regard to whether we need to address them immediately in a 1.1 version and/or need to be addressed in the next version whether it be 1.x or 2.0.

This is an admittedly superficial gloss of issues that need to be fleshed out in our next meeting.
