[00:31:23] ori: dr0ptp4kt, John Katz and others in reading would be interested in that discussion. We had a thread on an internal mailing list about AMP last month. (yeah I know internal) [00:32:14] bd808: i was in the middle of emailing the engineers to please comment on the amp task [00:40:01] robla: it's a bit more complicated than that. first, amp is (nominally, at least) an open spec; we don't need to have any relationship with google to decide to adopt it, and we would still enjoy the benefit of having a highly optimized content loading strategy [00:41:47] second, google instant is already intermediating wikipedia content, which is freely reproducible, after all. declining to play ball could simply mean google displays our content through their cdn anyway, but we forfeit any say on how it is presented [00:42:42] i'll just say so on the task [00:42:54] ori: it's more complicated (Google has more leverage in this case) but the reasons for saying "no" are the same. [00:43:14] it's not an open spec [00:43:30] not by the definition of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_specifications anyway [00:44:53] ori: what's also the same is the massive complexity we accept for ourselves rather than just caving to the "Google just make it easy" lure [00:44:55] as I understand it, they are planning to take it to the W3C eventually [00:45:15] hopefully W3C will tell them to get lost [00:45:16] I agree with both of you, for the record; I'm just saying it's not a no-brainer. [00:46:56] * robla starts looking for just what they would take to W3C. [00:50:22] ori: are you saying that they're looking to submit this "HTML subset" to W3C? https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/spec/amp-html-format.md [00:52:16] yes, plus (I'm guessing) formally specify how to load assets, so what is now a javascript library could be native browser behavior [00:52:58] what *could* be a useful thing to collaborate with Google on is having a shared opinion about the HTML features that we all agree to steer clear of both for AMP infrastructures and for ResourceLoader [00:54:22] the web defaults to synchronous, single-threaded, sequential loading in many cases [00:55:03] this is not HTTP/2 [00:55:25] this is a specification which requires a particular JS runtime library, loaded from a particular server [00:55:49] and eager, i should add [00:56:31] to leverage multiple cores, you need to add special annotations (
