Florian: Given the limited
attendance, this will be a short meeting.
... I presume there wasn't a long enough notice for people to
set aside time to join
... and Mike had a last minute conflict.
... There's just two points I'd like to briefly touch on
anyway.
Florian: There have been
discussions on the Mailing list about whether and when we
should look into Native Messaging.
... Given dependencies on the rest, which isn't specified yet,
it is a bit tricky to specify already.
... but at the same time, Mozilla is starting to
implement.
... What we could do is start a separate spec/repo under the
CG, that depends on the main one.
... At first it would only be a dumping ground for issues and
questions, but it could get fleshed out progressively;
... but that only makes sense if someone, presumably from
Mozilla, is willing to maintain in, and if other people are
interested in discussing it.
kmag: I think it should indeed be
a separate spec
... and I believe that Andrew Swan would be willing to maintain
it.
Florian: sounds good to me. I can
brief him on how to be an Editor.
... one thing being that he should only accept pull requests
from members of the CG for IP reasons.
kmag: He isn't a member of the CG himself. We'll look into Mozilla's process for having him join.
Florian: Well, at least Mozilla
is a member.
... Let's record a tentative resolution about getting the draft
started, with an editor from Mozilla, and we can see later if
he joins or if someone else picks it up
kmag: sure
andy: OK
RESOLUTION: Start a new separate draft for Native Messaging, with an editor from Mozilla
kmag: One thing that will need to be in the main draft rather than the native messaging draft is how to deal with Ids and registration
Florian: why?
kmag: because it affects more than just native messaging.
Florian: We can record an issue in the Native Messaging draft saying that it is needed, but should be defined elsewhere.
kmag: makes sense.
Florian: 2 weeks from now, same time same day of the week. Would that work? Hopefully that gives a long enough notice that interested people can join.
andy: works for me.
kmag: works for me.
Florian: Anything else you want to talk about today?
kmag: There would be if we had more people on the call, but we don't.
Florian: Meeting adjourned then.
