[edit] Minutes for 2007/04/10

1. Regrets
   • Mike Squillace
2. Attendees
   • Pete Brunet, Michael Stewart, Larry Weiss, Itoh-san (Takashi Itoh), Barry Feigenbaum, Andres Gonzalez, Sueann Nichols, Cathy Laws, Aaron Leventhal
3. Summary
   • Sample Client Implementation - Michael Stewart
     • wrapping IA2 interfaces in Python; MSAA 100% done, IA2 about 20%; should complete by end of next week
   • Eclipse
     • working on test app to make sure prototype code is working OK
     • will talk to Carolyn MacLeod to get her feedback and after that we may have an idea of how the effort will roll out into the larger Eclipse effort
   • Firefox - Aaron
     • Alexander Surkov is working through issues; he has implemented part of IA2 and IAText and all of IAAction
     • WindowEyes turned off their browse mode when QI of IA2 started working; they will fix this
   • Sample Server Implementation - All
     • Currently only Eclipse and Firefox are open source (not Notes 8)
     • Eclipse is JNI code; not suitable
     • Firefox code is complex but might be useful as a starting point; would have to eliminate the cross platform code
     • Todo: What is viral nature of MPL?
     • Larry: IA2 is used in cases where a developer wants to expose more than MSAA. IA2 is applicable to more complex implementations. Firefox, Notes 8, Eclipse are all complex apps and are quite different from each other.
     • Andres Gonzalez: Snippets of code would be helpful. Not necessary to have a full working example.
   • Other issues?
     • none
