Flexible_Training

============================================================================================================================ I have worked it out using the sourcecode. To retrieve variables in forms from your process, you can use two Freemarker variables: - Task is for human task information fields. Take a look at the Task class and the TaskData class to see what you can access from your template.# This way you can also get to your task metadata like: ${task.taskData.createdOn?datetime} would get the date the task was created. - Content is for your own mapped fields. You will have to make a dataInputAssociaton that has the name of "Content" and use a dataInputAssociation to provide it with a HashMap of the values you want to be available in your template. The HashMap you put into content is accessible by content. from the template. Is this the official way to do it or is there a better way? Thanks.

========================================================================================================================================================== Hi Caleb, Thanks for the answers. Ponder Muse wrote: Hi, I have a few questions about the xwiki's 'import' function and was wondering if I could get answer to any if not all of the following: 1. I have done an 'export' on an xwiki server instance and I then stripped the generated .xar to remove some unwanted spaces within it (this included editing the archive.xml within). When I then try to import the stripped .xar on another xwiki server instance, I get: "There was an error reading the file abc.xar. Error number 0 in 5: Package: Error when reading XML." What does this error mean? Probably that you made a mistake editing the package.xml file. Yes, I've figured as much. But having looked at the file I still couldn't see any obvious problems with it. What I ended up doing though was to leave the .xar intact and then when importing it on another xwiki instance, I selected which spaces to import by ticking the appropriate boxes within the wiki's import page itself. 2. If I am importing a .xar into a server instance via a web browser, then is it ok to do it from a remote client or do I have to be on the same host machine the xwiki server is on? You can do it from a remote machine. 3. If I export spaces which contain attachments to a .xar file. Will the attachments still be available when importing the .xar file on another xwiki instance? If so, where are attachments stored in the .xar file? Yes they will. They are base 64 encoded and stored in the xml file for the page which they are attached to. Great stuff. Once again, thanks!

I think this is wrong. The patent indemnification is totally different: AIUI the CDDL makes the implicit patent license explicit and that's it, but GPLv3 does that and goes further by driving in a wedge against patent pacts, somehow. Both licenses do the same using different words. They both require contributors to give a royalty-free patent usage permission for all patents owned or controlled by the contributor in case they are used by the contributed code. More is not possible. If you believe there is a noticable difference, please explain..... GPLv3 might help with NetApp <-> Oracle pact while CDDL does not. This is a big difference illustrated through a familiar and very relevant example---not sure how to do better than that, Joerg! GPLv3 does not help at all with NetApp as the CDDL already includes a patent grant with the maximum possible coverage. The interesting thing however is that the FSF (before the GPLv3 exists) claimed that the CDDL is a bad license _because_ of it's patent defense claims. Now the FSF does the same as the CDDL ;-) js> The GPLv3 is intentionally incompatible with the GPLv2 This is definitely wrong, if you dig into the detail more. Most GPLv2 programs include a clause ``or any later version'', so adding one GPLv3 file to them just makes the whole project GPLv3, and there's no real problem. You are obviously wrong here: The GPLv3 is definitevely incompatible with the GPLv2 and most software does _not_ include the "or any later clause" by intention. Obviously this clause only makes sense if you trust the FSF, which I do so I include it, but Linus apparently didn't trust them so he struck the clause long ago. Given the fact that the FSF is the biggest license/Copyright violater on code taken from the cdrtools project, it should be obvious that you cannot trust the FSF. so GPLv3 and Apache are compatible while GPLv2 and GPLv3 are not, that is true and is designed. However GPLv2 was also designed to be upgradeable, which was absolutely the FSF's intent, to achieve compatibility, and they have done so with all their old projects like gcc and gnu libc. The Apache-2.0 license grants sub-licensing, so it is one of the few licenses where the end-user or redistributor may not always get all permissions from the original author. If you however like to combine Apache-2.0 code with GPL code and do this acording to the rules written in the GPL, this is still not possible as the Apache-2.0 license does not give you the permission to change the license for code from other contributors. As a result, the only way to combine Apache-2.0 code with GPL code still is to declare the resultant work a "collective work". So there is no difference from combining CDDL code with GPL code. The usual way to accomplish license upgradeability is to delegate your copyright to the organization you trust to know the difference between ``upgrade'' and ``screw you over.'' That's the method Sun forced upon people who had to sign contributor agreements, and is also the method SFLC advises most new free software projects to adopt: don't let individual developers keep licenses, because they'll become obstinate ossified illogical partisan farts like Joerg, or will not answer email, so you can never ever change the license. OK, you just verified that you are just a troll. We need to stop the discussion here.

It can be argued that this is a reporting bias. Whenever I inform people doing epidemiology with Excel about Ian Buchan's paper on Excel errors: http://www.nwpho.org.uk/sadb/Poisson%20CI%20in%20spreadsheets.pdf there is a sort of reflexive disbelief, as though something as widely used as Excel could not possibly be wrong. That is to say, most people using commercial software, especially the sort that allows them to follow a cookbook method and get an acceptable (to supervisors, journal editors and paymasters) result simply accept it without question. The counterweight to the carefree programming style employed by many researchers (I include myself) is the multitude of enquiring eyes that find our mistakes, and foster a continual refinement of our programs.

Hi, We're evaluating the option of migrating a Spring MVC app to grails and it struck me as strange that Grails controllers are not singletons (unlike the Spring MVC default). Other than allowing controller instance properties to be passed to the view by default, are there any other advantages, in productivity, expressiveness, performance or otherwise to creating controllers for every request instead of using a single thread-safe instance like it's done for Services? Is using controller instance variables very common in Grails? Am I missing something very obvious? One advantage of using singleton controllers is that it is very trivial to cache controller-specific data (e.g. reference data for views, select/option choices, constants, etc.). With Grails controllers this has to be externalized to Services or other ad-hoc POGOs. What are we gaining from having controllers scoped as prototype that counterweights the convenience of quick, shared local storage? Are there any best practices for managing reference data for controllers and views in Grails that do not depend on creating a Service or utility class? Populating them in BootStrap and placing them in the ApplicationContext as beans?

One version as above, second version could specialize to support keeping track of such matters by persisting relevant subset of map attributes and elements in the agg doc. Probably Michael will want this, just to cover the propensity of adopters to do whatever is possible, even if we advise against it. Tagless editors may not be able to handle all that is required. Users of tagged editors will want to keep the tag set as simple as possible. So will it be practical? We shouldn't presume the answer. Josef: Experienced 'frequent writers' ('professional' writers) are fine working with a map. Restrict what the less capable writers can do so as to avoid problems. The basic form of a document is as a map and topics, the agg doc form is temporary for authoring. Restrict the changes in the aggregated state. Simplistic users won't make such changes anyway. Only more capable authors can make such changes, and they do it in the map. Rob: May be working with a file system, not a CMS. In that case, everything stays in the aggregated document, there is no occasion for a map. Bruce: This sounds more and more like an Adoption TC issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.

Stupid question: BEFORE you mount, what are the permissions on the mount point? Those permissions can affect what you can do with the mounted filesystem. Once you mount the filesystem it's awfully hard to figure out what the problem is because the original mount point permissions are hidden... That one has gotten me before, but a wiser SA than myself warned me before I ever came across it, so I didn't spin my wheels _too_ long looking for the problem!

We've got a web GUI that hides the complexity from end users, pretty much they see a list of files/directories, and pick users/groups with read only or read/write. We offer access to central user/group space via CIFS (currently samba in s10, with an eye towards opensolaris/in-kernel server), web, scp/sftp, kerberized NFSv4, and interactive unix login. The web server enforces ACL's, so users can restrict their web content by them. We've had a similar environment based on DCE/DFS for over 10 years (we're just about ready to shut that down, having completed migrating everything over) and our users have become quite acclimatized to the flexibility that this gives them to set access control once and have it respected regardless of access protocol. and using inheritance to propagate them to any new items which are added to shared areas. What protocols/access methods are used to get to the underlying zfs filesystem? The main ACL problem we've having now (having resolved most of them, yay) is interaction with chmod() and legacy mode bits, and the disappointing ease with which an undesired chmod can completely destroy an ACL. I finally ended up having to preload a shared library that disables chmod() into samba, which resolved our issues for CIFS. I still haven't found a way to keep users' ACL's from being wiped by rogue non-ACL aware command/utilities (including, as it turns out, Solaris' own chgrp command). Unfortunately, there's currently no global way to prevent manipulation of legacy mode bits from destroying ACL's. I've been working around particular instances of the problem (such as the preloaded shared library for samba, or using "chown :" rather than chgrp), but it's a losing battle. There are 40 odd years of non-ACL aware stuff out there, it's intractable to try and fix it all on a case by case basis. Given ZFS's description as having a "pure acl" model, it really seems there should be some way to prevent those ACL's from getting wiped out at the drop of a chmod. The scripting also (sorta) covers the problem that most backup and file transfer utilities are not capable of backing up and restoring the NFSv4-style ACL's on ZFS. We have a central Netbackup deployment. Supposedly it supports ZFS ACL's, although I've never actually tested that. I suppose I should at some point 8-/. If we can't find some clean way to maintain ACL sanity, we might have to start storing ACL's in metadata files (maintained in lockstep by our web control app), and having a job run around and restore broken ACL's on files/directories on an ongoing basis. That would be pretty kludgy :(, but better than sensitive data suddenly becoming world readable because somebody's favorite editor feels the need to chmod a file after creation to match the permissions it thinks it should have had based on the umask.

============================================================================================================================ Neal Watkins scribeva in 24/01/2006 21:30: I actually have a word doc with the Japanese translations - but applying to a webpage is a total different thing. Ok. I cannot get it to render correctly Do i need a specofic font? Yes. You'll need a font which includes Japanese characters. See below. do all the japanese fonts need to be converted into character code? Kind of unanswerable :-) first time dealing with asian languages obviously Okey :-) So back to basics then. And sorry, I'll start with really elementary basics, please don't get bored. I'll also (over)simplify things, so excuse that too. - computers don't deal with letters or other characters, only with numbers - so any letter or character in any language must be converted to a number so that a computer can deal with it - this is called character coding - obviously decoder must agree with encoder on what letter is what number (i.e. what is the letters 'codepoint') - this is what is referred to with 'character sets' Characters used in English can easily be represented with just 7-bit sequences (127 available codepoints), many European languages require full 8-bit bytes, but for Hiragana/Katakana that would hardly suffice, let alone if your text has Kanji characters - about 50,000 codepoints required... This is where Unicode steps in - it is possible to use many bytes for one character. Fonts map codepoints to their graphical representations - letters and characters. So "japanese fonts need to be converted into character code?" is an upside down question... character codes are converted to visible letters with fonts - if a font doesn't have a letter for a given codepoint, a question mark is often displayed instead. So I'd say that it's time for you to take the plunge in murky waters of character coding - after a while it all starts making sense, and then it'll be easy for you to make sites using any writing system, be it Latin alphabet, kanji or cuneiforms ... Start with these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/index.html .k On Monday 13 September 2010, Artur Duque de Souza wrote: Hi Marco, On Monday 13 September 2010 16:10:54 Marco Martin wrote: now, maybe when qtcomponents will be ready it could be decided to just use those widgets, again if they will be good enough for the desktop.

They will need to write their widgets. Qt-components just show how to do in with less pain. ah, that's interesting. i understood that they were supoposed to have a part with the logic and a separate qml file for the styling that would have been platform specific? i should check what code there is in at the moment ;) Another path is to just do the bindings, but they will not work 100%...if we don't create "false hopes" that everything is going to work it's fine :) (example, without 4.7.1 the qgw exported to QML just don't work on Flickable items - nobody is maintaining this so regressions can also be expected). yeah, it will be a bit painful at start but the only short term way. in that particular case events get stolen, so they need a mousearea on top of it or to be in a plasma flickable widget, all of that needs to be documented. Or alternatively we can also decide that we really need to wait for them ad delay the complete bindings at this point, but wouldn't seem a particularly wise move for me, also because would basically mean plasma mobile not happening. I'm not saying that we choose one or another. My point is: we can do something (bindings) for the short term, but for long term we should start thinking about doing it as it's expected. Also to avoid headaches for us :) From my point of view it's not orthogonal: either bindings or proper yeah, that is what i was trying to say :) if we want to have something quickly what we have now needs to be used. i agree in the long term things should be done in a proper way. (for an hypotethic kde5 we could have just those, even) components. From my point of view we can use the bindings for short term (4.6) and should start thinking about components for the long term. until then, a solution already is in there, judging from a couple of pretty complex uis i did with it, works quite good, so i don't much see the point of all of this discussion, because the real problem is one and completely unrelated: the use of the private class for dataengine bindings. The point of the discussion is just that you got a sentence out of context and is thinking that I'm arguing that is either one or another. My options are not exclusive - just the opposite: I think we should go for both. yes, exactly, i misunderstood that part :) to me a distinct short and long term plans should be in place For the use of private classes on dataengine bindings: also don't expect for 4.7 the export of classes...it may happen on 4.8 but no idea when it's going out :P So we need to think together about a way of getting rid of it. Which private classes are being used? it's qdeclarativeopenmetaobject (that drags in also qdeclarativerefcount and the private of qobject) i think options are basically 2: - try to write something simple that doesn't use qdeclarativeopenmetaobject that could be even a bit overkill for it, will try today - keep an internal copy of all the thing if it's likely to be exported in future versions as far i see from the sources a caching seems involved (qdeclarativepixmapcache), but looks like only memory and no svg renderer sharing, i could be wrong. I would need to check too. Don't remember about this.... it is also not possible to have a borderimage that gets elements of an svg with a certain prefix, it only gets the whole image, all of this it would make impossible to use current themes, in brief break compatibility of wat there is already in. Ok. This justifies the creation of a declarative item that has proper support for our svgs. i'll try that shortly as well. i think those should be exported a Svg and FrameSvg since exporting directly thise classes doesn't make sense (they just offer a qpainter, so couldn't be used at all) Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plas ... @kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

Gather clues

Many possibilities to uncover

============================================================================================================================= Hello NetCAT team, please find some time for reading this week's NetCAT status report. 1. Overall summary In spite of NetBeans 6.9 stabilization going forward the bug income from NetCAT team still keeps above 100 new bugs per week. Communication over e-mails even increased slightly to ~16.7 messages per day. Luckily the range of discussed topics was not as uniform as during the week before last. :-) Besides editing features also debugging problems, performance, PHP or Ruby support were talked over. To document that NetCAT 6.9 in general started nicely I am attaching two charts comparing weekly activity since NetCAT 6.5. 2. Important stuff * One of major NetBeans 6.9 features is OSGi bundles interoperability [1][1]. I have seen that 6 NetCAT participants decided to focus on the NetBeans RCP so I believe these guys are interested in this functionality. Has anybody used already existing OSGi bundle in your NetBeans RCP based application? Or did you want to develop your own OSGi bundle that would be used in the platform? Please let us know! [1] [2] http://wiki.netbeans.org/OSGiUserStories * Eric Smith complained that closing a project triggered classpath scanning operation. Eric considers this insane and Scott Palmer ran into that as well. We are aware of similar problems but need more information on that. If you see this often please launch NetBeans with a special switch [2] and then send us your messages.log file for deeper analysis. [2] -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.parsing.impl.indexing.RepositoryUpdater.level=FINE * Several participants pointed out that there was still a handful of regressions after implementation of the line wrapping feature. Glenn Holmer reopened his incorrect diff issue ([3]#183017), Abderrahim Bajja got a NPE and Keith Davis had his tabs in Editor messed up and right margin line not working ([4]#182673). He is even concerned whether line wrap was worth the destabilization. Honestly, we can always turn it off if quality of editing does not meet its original level. :-( * Keith also does not understand why NetBeans asks him for a Master Password on two Windows 7 machines while his primary development IDE stays silent. Jesse Glick suggested to diagnose what's wrong with keyring implementation on the affected machine. Two more participants agree that current UI is not well designed and filed 5 bugs on that. Keith, please file an issue against platform/Options&Settings [5][3] and attach message.log created with the mentioned switch. [3] [6] https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=platform&component=Options%26Settings&short_desc= [69cat]%20 * Nigel Leck initiated a long thread about "Public Inner Class" encapsulation hint which should either have a better description such as "Public Nested Class" or ignore inner enumerations. Niklas Matthies joined Nigel and convinced Jan Lahoda to add a switch allowing to suppress warning about inner enums. * Leonardo Alves da Costa noticed that Quick File Chooser didn't show any content after switching to its classic view. It's reproducible but has a workaround to go one level up and then back. Did you report this already Leonardo? * Ingo Reinhart would like to hear opinion from other PHP developers on his requirement ([7]#183217) to provide a hint for missing method implementations if a class extends other abstract class. Goran Miskovic is convinced that current implementation is correct if missing method is non-abstract and filed [8]#183240 instead. Others? * BTW, are you aware of the new possibility to "View > Show Non-printable Characters"? Check it out if you like it or not. :-) 3. Bug hunting * Michael Nascimento discovered a memory leak in Editor ([9]#183296). He shared with us two message.log files and heap dumps and his help was essential in finding that some listener was not weak which lead to the OOME. Great job Michael! * Power users like Eric Smith can no longer run into a deadlocked IDE which could happen if you switch users with different access rights. Eric reported that if UI Gestures Collector could not open its files, IDE became unresponsive ([10]#183331). We fixed it today. * Michel Graciano focused on tooltips and found out that there is no preview for folded code anymore ([11]#183120), sidebar popup shows no diff ([12]#183362) and tooltip evaluation of statements during debugging does not work as well ([13]#183305). We are looking into all of these regressions. * Glenn Holmer keeps cooperating with us on finding the root cause for the unresponsive debugger ([14]#174668). Lately he was able to generate another profiler snapshot and attached it to similar issue [15]#182064 with short description of what he was doing. Thanks a lot Glenn! * Best bug reporter of the previous week was again Eric Smith, this time with 21 submitted issues mainly against Ruby. * Some of you might have already noticed that we started waiving nasty P2 bugs (e.g. [16]#137829). Unfortunately these are typically quite complex and/or dangerous issues plus we don't have enough resources to focus on fixing them. If this happens to your bugs, please don't take it personally ;-) because we will return to them after 6.9 is out. Thanks for your understanding. 4. Statistics Bugs submitted: 478 (+108) Open bugs: 241 (4/14/217/6) E-mails: 506 (+117) Thank you all for your help!

Lower travel fares

Start planning a trip.

============================================================================================================================ My sense of this thread is that some people are arguing that "species pages " would be time consuming to create, aren't much good for taxonomists (to quote Mike Dallwitz "In brief, to make simplified and attractive information about taxa easily available to casual users?"), and nobody gets credit for making them. In short, "they're not for me, I don't get credit for making them, so why bother?" Others (e.g., Doug Yanega) see species pages -- properly constructed -- to be a research tool. If we extend this to its logical conclusion, we could envisage these pages being the primary source of information on taxa. Indeed, new taxa could be described in this way. In short, "this is the future of taxonomic publication". One obvious way to realise species pages sensu Doug is using a wiki, but then there are those that horrified by the prospect of just "anyone" being able to edit that content. In short, "wikis are not for serious people, the ignorant might mess up my stuff". Others have had a more positive experience. I realise this doesn't do justice to these positions, but this make things a little concrete, I've put together a demo based on a wiki I'm constructing. The aim of this wiki is to link together taxonomic names, specimens, images, classifications, publications, phylogeny, people in one place. It's a bit like a wiki version of my Elsevier Challenge entry http://iphylo.org/~rpage/challenge/www/ . This is some way off being ready for prime time, but I thought it might be useful to show the sort of thing that can be done. As a starting point, /itaxon.org/wikidev/Chromis_circumaurea is a page about Chromis circumaurea, one of the fish Rich Pyle et al recently described in Zootaxa. This page contains a map and some specimen images, and an abbreviated description copied from the Zootaxa article. The images and the map are generated automaticaly by the wiki, based on the links it has to the specimens, e.g. http://itaxon.org/wikidev/BMNH_2007.10.31.3 http://itaxon.org/wikidev/USNM_391138_%28Fishes%29 The USNM specimen is linked to a GenBank sequence http://itaxon.org/wikidev/EU358583 . Specimens themselves are linked to Museum collections (using data from http://biocol.org ). The name itself is linked to a publication http://itaxon.org/wikidev/Jacc:1175-5326:1671%403 which is also linked to the authors. The wiki supports GUIDs, so that you can link to the page about Chromis circumaurea using it's ZooBank LSID, for example: http://itaxon.org/wikidev/Urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:8ADC4817-8F1C-4C88-8B8A-5372A84CAEC9 What I hope this crude example demonstrates is a framework where we can support all the kinds of objects we care about, and easily create links between them that can generate useful information. For example, the page for Chromis circumaurea doesn't explicitly list the images shown, they are there because of the links between Chromis circumaurea, the specimens, and the images of those specimens. The same applies to the map. What this means is that very little information needs be entered, it's mostly a matter of joining the dots. Note that these wiki pages already have more information than either iSpecies ( http://ispecies.org/?q=Chromis+circumaurea ) or EOL (http://www.eol.org/pages/209986 ) This example has been assembled by hand, but much of the data required can be entered automatically (e.g., for sequences, specimens, publications, etc.), and tools such as text mining or XML markup (e.g., TaxonX) could be easily exploited. I also realise that the demos as it stands as very limited information about the organism itself, but I don't this this as intractable. If we could build things like this (and I believe we can, with a lot less effort than might be thought), is this the kind of "species page " that would be useful?

=================================================================================================================== The Decision namely states that there are two ways to appeal it, and I believed that it was very clear from my letter which option I chose. I believe Leif is appealing the Chairs' decision as per: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#WGAppeals 3.5 Appeal of a Chair's Decision Groups resolve issues through dialog. Individuals who disagree strongly with a decision SHOULD register with the Chair any Formal Objections< http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#FormalObjection > (e.g., to a decision made as the result of a vote< http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#Votes >). When group participants believe that their concerns are not being duly considered by the group, they MAY ask the Director< http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/organization.html#def-Director > (for representatives of a Member organization, via their Advisory Committee representative) to confirm or deny the decision. The participants SHOULD also make their requests known to the Team Contact< http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/groups.html#TeamContact >. The Team Contact MUST inform the Director when a group participant has raised concerns about due process. Any requests to the Director to confirm a decision MUST include a summary of the issue (whether technical or procedural), decision, and rationale for the objection. All counter-arguments, rationales, and decisions MUST be recorded. Since Leif is an Invited Expert in the HTML WG he is entitled to send this appeal to the Director via the Team Contact. /paulc Paul Cotton , Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329 -----Original Message----- From: Leif Halvard Silli [mailto:xn--mlform-iua@mÃ¥lform.no] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 11:02 AM To: Philippe Le Hegaret Cc: Michael Smith; HTML WG; Sam Ruby; Maciej Stachowiak; Paul Cotton ;www- ... @w3.org Subject: Re: Letter to the Team Contact - ISSUE-30. Hi Philippe, I don't know if your question perhaps indicate yet another unclarity in the decision document. The Decision namely states that there are two ways to appeal it, and I believed that it was very clear from my letter which option I chose. From the Decision: ]] Appealing this Decision If anyone feels they have not received due process, or that their concerns have not being duly considered in the course of reaching this decision, they may make their concerns known to the Team Contact (Mike Smith) who will notify the Director. If anyone strongly disagrees with the content of the decision and would like to raise a Formal Objection, they may do so at this time. Formal Objections are reviewed by the Director in consultation with the Team. Ordinarily, Formal Objections are only reviewed as part of a transition request. In the case of this issue, the Chairs have agreed to forward Formal Objections right away for expedited processing. Anyone who would like to take either of these steps should first read the Review of Arguments Presented, below. [[ By the use of the phrase "either of these steps", the decision expresses that there are more than one way to appeal the Decision. According to my reading, the Decision describes two ways: EITHER one may make the concerns known to the Team Contact Mike Smith OR one may file a Formal Objection. I have chosen the first option, and I now expect the Team Contact to take up my concerns with the Director. I am not certain what the Director then is supposed to do. But my hope is that he agrees with my concerns, and that he have the power to rescind the Decision and (or) instruct the co-chairs to rescind their Decision and draft a new Decsision where they look at the issue anew and where the concerns that I take up are given the treatment that should be expected. I don't mind if the Decision is dropped altogether - a new or supplemental change proposal process can be initiated before a new Decision is formulated. Are my expectations about what the Director has the power to do too high or wrong? I have not formulated a Formal Objection, because I don't want to use that instrument when the problem simply is that the Decision on several levels is incomplete. (And I am not alone in questioning the quality of this Decision. [1]) A Formal Objection if this initiative does not lead anywhere, is of course a possibility, which I haven't considered yet.

Concerns -------- 1) Errors in the decision document The are many errors in the decision document - some of which the chairs have already admitted to. The document fails to make an accurate summary of many many things. Examples: Firefox is listed as a "successful" implementation of @longdesc, despite that Jon's objection state the opposite. And a few successful implementations that _are_ listed in the objections, are omitted as such examples in the decision document: Jaws, iCab. And Charles's presentation of @longdesc (in his objection to the zero-change proposal), is presented as if he says that @longdesc is the only way to technically link to a long description. These and a few other errors (which probably are just errors and not conscious errors) are easy to check simply by reading the relevant objections and proposals, undermines the trust in the decision as a whole. 2) Criteria for use of certain words The decision demands things of the change proposers and objectors, which the decision fails to live up to itself. One of those demands are very specific criteria for the use of certain words. Example: the decision (unduly, in my view) complains about lack of definition of Â«the adjective "successfully"Â» (which is a an adverb, btw ...). However, the decision itself operates with several words for which it provides no criteria. Examples: 'use case' and 'require'. It is entirely unclear what kind of 'use case' the document wants, though, for the most part, the document seems to look for technical reasons to have @longdesc. To my mind HTML4 describes a use case: [1] "a link to a long description of the image. This description should supplement the short description provided using the alt attribute.". There are no links in HTML4 or HTML5 other than @longdesc that have this semantic. As such it @longdesc is required. (The proposal to keep @longdesc duly links to HTML4, and so the decision have every reason to discuss what HTML4 says - but fails to do so.) 3) Concerns not being duly considered Example: Longdesc link rot was cited as a problem both in the objections, in the zero-change proposal _and_ in the decision document. In my objection, I pointed out that this - in a way - automatically becomes solved as soon as @longdesec is made valid: by making @longdesc un-obsolete, HTML5 conformance checkers must - obviously - start to conformance check the @longdesc URL. (Explanation: in the HTML4 validator, no URL validity checking is performed whatsoever, whereas validator.nu does check URLs, as long as the attribute isn't obsolete.) I filed a bug about this, to make sure that conformance checkers would do this, and the link to the bug is in my objection. However, not a single time does the decision document that it has considered this simple and obvious argument. Instead, the decision document states it to be "uncontested" that "more work is needed to make longdesc useful". However such a general statement is hardly relevant when the required work, at the most basic level, simply involves moving @longdesc from the list of obsolete attributes to the list of valid attributes. 4) No evaluation of @longdesc from a semantic angle This goes back to my 'use case' critique under 2) above. In the subsequent debate, I took up an idea that I picked up from Lachlan. Namely that rel="londesc" (short description) many times could be used as a replacement for the @longdesc attribute. (The exception being when there is already a link on the IMG. Another exception is on iframe elements, which HTML4 also allows: the element is not allowed to be a wrapper around an iframe element.) The response has been that rel="longdesc" is worth looking into. If we see @longdesc as shorthand for the - yet undefined - rel="longdesc" micro format, then should be obvious that the issue is about semantics. (In my objection, I compare @longdesc with a special kind of link, although I fail to mention the rel="longdesc" parallel.) However, the only time the decision uses the string "semantic" is when it states the following: "A number of use cases for semantically rich, structured descriptions of images were provided, however those use cases are abstract and don't directly and specifically require the support of a longdesc attribute". By this definition, then even what HTML4 says about @longdesc is abstract! Apart from the situations when already has a link as well as the use case (see above), then it is probably impossible to find concrete examples of use cases when it is _technically_ impossible to solve the problem unless the language includes @longdesc. However, _semantically_ the language currently has no other method than @longdesc for solving the issue. But I look in vain for a discussion of this problem in the decision document.
