PEP Team Meeting – Jan 12 2015


  • Testing
    • Currently using Mocha and Chai
    • Adopt Intern
      • Provides non-simulated events through Webdriver API
      • Compatible with Chai
    • Colin available to answer any questions about Intern and assist with implementation.
    • Jacques to work on initial implementation.
    • Would be nice to run W3C tests, but they require user interaction.
      • Can manually run them on occasion to verify proper functionality.Nom
      • Can skip anything that involves capabilities that a device doesn’t have, like multi touch on IE8
  • Browser support (overlaps with testing)
    • Adopt baseline from jQuery UI/Mobile? Currently means IE8+
    • Or stick with IE9+, provide hooks to implement IE8 support elsewhere, probably using jQuery events
    • Need to at least test that the polyfill doesn’t crash IE8
    • Need to automate tests with the jQuery wrapper in IE8, to verify the hooks actually work
  • Project Lead
    • Volunteers or nominations?
    • Nominations for Scott
      • Scott willing to accept, but is happy to have someone take over at any point
  • Scott replaced Polymer loader
    • Less crazy now, but should probably use a real build system
    • Go for AMD with r.js, instead of just concatenating files
    • Single entry point that includes everything in the correct order
  • Schedule for future meetings
    • Weekly, reduce later if there’s not enough to discuss
    • Scott to send another Doodle
    • Fall back to today’s time if we can’t find something else
    • Create Freenode channel: #pep
      • Move notifications from #jqueryui-dev to #pep
      • Add to CONTRIBUTING.md
    • 10 minutes for planning, 50 minutes for venting
  • Adoption
    • Planned
      • Dojo 2
      • jQuery UI
      • Intel App Framework (eventually)
    • Replace IBM’s dpointer?
      • Was supposed to go into Dojo 2
      • IBM will discuss internally
      • Requires support for AMD and IE9 (from last meeting)
    • Talk to about adoption:
      • Wikipedia
      • WordPress
    • MS Open Tech will promote it and contribute code, no immediate plans for using it
  • Misc.
    • Rename repo to PEP
  • Touch action
