2. Milestone 9 (M9) - John/Lawrence

John: The M9 plan will be available by this weekend.


3. Development Discussion - All

John: I've committed Sagara's latest patches for WODEN-65. There are a few 
outstanding items and then I'll merge with HEAD.
Lawrence: I suggest we merge once it's in a useable state. It doesn't have 
to be perfect before it's made available in HEAD.

John: I have some work to do on fixing the inconsistency in the 
validator's handling of extensibility elements then we can ask for some 
help with the assertions.
Lawrence: How about creating an extension mechanism that allows a 
contribution of a tree walker for an extension namespace? This should 
allow the validation logic to stay separated from the validation 
framework.
Arthur: Extensions don't need to be physically present in the document. An 
extension may say that you need an even number of interfaces without 
adding any markup to the document.
Lawrence: Woden already supports this use case. Validators for the rules 
can be added when creating the Woden parser.

Arthur: Where are we with the equals method?
John: I think isEquivalentTo will work and should be clearer than 
overriding equals.
Arthur: I think equals is stronger than isEquivalentTo. equals is really 
about object equivalence. As well, the concept of equivalence only applies 
to components.
John: WODEN-209 is open for this issue. I'll do some work in a branch and 
open for review.

Arthur: What's the issue with the two apis?
John: There is a difference between the description element and component 
but most of the other components and elements are pretty similar. There's 
an API review page on the wiki.


4. Other Business - All

No other business raised.


Thanks,

Lawrence Mandel
