| 00:35 | MikeSmith | peruses |
| 00:36 | <MikeSmith> | Domenic: the TAG might want to start looking at http://www.w3.org/2014/automotive/data_spec.html |
| 00:37 | <Domenic> | hmmm |
| 00:41 | <MikeSmith> | yeah, offered without comment |
| 00:42 | <MikeSmith> | but in the context of the fact there's a related draft charter for a WG (not just CG) http://www.w3.org/2014/automotive/charter.html |
| 00:44 | <Domenic> | i mean, having a hard time seeing browsers implement this, which drastically decreases my cares |
| 00:45 | <MikeSmith> | at this point, just that alone would be constructive feedback |
| 00:47 | <Domenic> | hmm, noted |
| 00:47 | <MikeSmith> | though I can imagine one or more vendors that seemed to be interested in this stuff and that have engineers hacking on blink/webkit forks might end up hacking this into a fork that they actually shiop from. wouldn't be the first time |
| 00:47 | <MikeSmith> | *seem to be |
| 00:47 | <Domenic> | world wide "web" consortium, eh? ;) |
| 00:48 | <MikeSmith> | for some definition of "web" |
| 00:49 | <MikeSmith> | btw somewhat related I like JakeA's "URL-driven Web" better than "drive-by Web" that others on the chrome team were tossing around in the past |
| 00:49 | <MikeSmith> | where both are used just to mean the actual Web |
| 00:50 | <MikeSmith> | as opposed to other things that aren't really the Web at all |
| 00:51 | <MikeSmith> | context: https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/540420208960483330 |
| 07:36 | <JakeA> | MikeSmith: although I guess packaged web apps still have URLs, but they're more of by-product. I just really didn't want to say "drive-by web" |
| 09:23 | <MikeSmith> | JakeA: yeah understood |
| 09:24 | <MikeSmith> | JakeA: and btw we need books to be on the Web too, with URLs, and readable in browsers |
| 09:25 | <MikeSmith> | let's make 2015 the year that happens too |
| 09:25 | <MikeSmith> | no more music by the suckers |
| 09:25 | <JakeA> | MikeSmith: where does html + print stylesheets fall short in that regard? |
| 09:26 | <wilhelm_> | JakeA: Paging. Columns. Some common design patterns. |
| 09:26 | <MikeSmith> | yeah |
| 09:26 | <MikeSmith> | the paged-media stuff |
| 09:27 | <MikeSmith> | JakeA: but it's not so much that we're falling shor technically there, it's the the whole ebook publishing industry is currently structured around forcing users into user-hostile off-Web "reading system" applications (e.g., with no ability to copy text) |
| 09:46 | <JakeA> | True |
| 09:47 | <JakeA> | wilhelm_: CSS has paging and columns right? |
| 14:17 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: how is URL-driven web different from web? |
| 14:17 | <annevk> | Ah okay, used as pleonasm |
