link jQuery 3.0 beta

link Style of cherry-picked commits

link $.when changes for single-argument case

  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2018
  • Definitely should eliminate the reuse of the incoming Deferred for the return value
  • What about when the single arg is an Array? Keep current behavior, too big an API break
  • Basically, one arg is Promise.cast(), multiple is Promise.all()
  • Need better docs for $.when if an array is passed

link Formatting ticket and issue references

link Pull Requests and Issues

link Build on Windows

  • The node-smoke-test won't work on Windows and node 0.10 without a bunch of stuff installed incluing Visual Studio

link Learn Site

  • Determine the Future of the learn site
    • Foundation issue 347
    • Discussion document
    • We want to ease the process of landing PRs
      • Scott to work on automating the CLA check, which will manage the labels
      • Agreed to relax commit message style guides for content site repos (.com/.net/.org repos) if necessary to ease maintain/land content, but not api sites
    • See how we can get more help from the community
      • Aurelio to draft blog post
    • Agreed: carry out an analysis of the articles, and develop a matrix of articles/library version
      • Tracking Document.
      • Thinking about adding rating to learn content e.g. did you find this article useful 1-5? but would also need to know the reader's expertise, so 1–5 my expertise on this subject and 1–5 article's usefuleness
      • Dan to see if Bazaarvoice could donate rating service
    • Agreed: The learn site should contain THREE types of learning documents to match the users learning styles: articles, tutorials and videos
      • distinction between article and tutorial: a tutorial walks you through some process step by step and an article just explains a concept or set of APIs
      • A long-term plan/wish is to have interactive tutorials as part of the learn site. (Propose as a GSOC project?)
    • Proposed: in addition to code snippets, we should have the full example in a jsbin to enable users to manipulate the code and enable us to easily update it.
      • Discussion deferred to next meeting
    • Proposed: We should add the type(s) to the document and enable users to search by topic/keywords and/or type
      • Discussion deferred to next meeting

link Repos at healthy cadence

  • We aim to have less than 5 issues or be closing more issues than we open on all content-related repos

PEP Team

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

Attending: DaveMethvin, jaubourg, timmywil, arthurvr, gibson042, markelog, m_gol

link jQuery 3.0 beta

link Pull Requests and Issues

  • Style of Support comments
  • .unwrap() conditioned by a selector
  • jQuery.Deferred enhancements
  • jQuery.parseHTML("")
  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1998
  • I like the idea of doing more here but given how much we need to do for 3.0 I'm okay with just this change if nobody has time to take something more ambitious.
  • Let's ask Krinkle to update the PR for the more ambitious changes that track what the native method does, see comments in the PR from timmywil and gibson042
  • Funny characters in tag names
  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1988
  • Same here as with parseHTML, if someone can take it now we could do more but otherwise let's land this smaller fix. (But note gibson042 comments regarding colons for namespaces.)
  • Let's land this now (hyphens), do a second commit for the more general changes (unusual characters, namespaces)

  • Inserted scripts run async
  • jquery-release tasks (timmywil)
