Minutes

• Actions from last time that are still open:
  1. AI: All Send comments on updated schema to the list STILL OPEN
  2. AI: Tommy: As a result of the schema update (namespace URI changed), all examples have to be regenerated. Thanks to Tommy for volunteering to do this. STILL OPEN
  3. AI Jose: How we get the new schema to be placed in this new location - http://www.w3.org/2004/07/xkms.xsd ? Shivaram: Just update the exisiting one till the spec gets Recommendation status STILL OPEN (though maybe we won't need it - AI chairs: re-check with list as to whether anyone's product code requires this given current issue resolutions.)
  4. AI Stephen: Check on OCSP issue with IETF, ETC, DSS and other groups and report back.
• Each of the interop participants reports on, what was overall, extremely good progress.
  1. Guillermo has tested with Tommy, Roland and Yunhao, generally things are fine with some wrinkles discovered, some of which are fixed, some which are expected to be fixed soon. There are differences wrt which bindings have been tested with whom.
  2. Tommy has acted as a client against Roland and Yunhao with results similar to Guillermo's. Tommy's client works just fine against his own server.
  3. Roland reported similarly, though noting that his client is quite a simple X-KISS-only application.
  4. Yunhao reported similarly to the others, though most of his testing (as a client) was directed towards Tommy's server.
  5. Rich reported that he'd tested his X-KISS client against all three servers with similar results.
• Issues arising:
  1. We cannot currently test "long asynchronous" cases since all of the servers answer almost immediately. AI: Tommy - make a suggestion to the list for handling this.
  2. Few people have implemented compound messages so far, so these have yet to be tested. We agreed to revisit this once the basic message handling is nearly complete.
  3. Yunhao has some additional tests that he can do, but which are not yet part of the test suite (e.g. re-issue). We agreed to try to start incorporating such tests into our procedures even it ifs earlier than planned. AI: Yunhao - send mail to the list describing these new test scenarios/messages. AI: Guillermo - incorporate those, once approved by the list. AI: Jose incorporate those into the questionaire. (Yunhao also noted that he'll be making some batch test scripts available from his web page which semi-automate running tests.)
  4. People need to fill in the questionaire - AI: Implementers: fill in the questionaire in the next week reflecting what you've done. AI: Jose - send "results" style information to the list in about a week (roughly by 20041005) so those not registered to answer the questions can easily see the results.
• AOB: Tommy wondered we have to start using the new schema for testing. AI: Shivaram said he'd post the (final) new schema early nexxt week and we agreed that it ought be possible to start using it for testing about a week later. We'll agree this on the list once the modified schema's been published.
