[x3d-public] X3D Working Group agenda 9 OCT 2020: preparations for voting on release of X3D4 specification

[John Carlson]

Status update X3DJSONLD:

1.   X3DUOM update testing not done.  Need to generate new X3D JSON
schema(s) from X3DUOM 4.0 (or any updates to 3.X)
     * this is primarily running through a schema check on X3D Resources
JSON Examples.
     * I would appreciate being pointed at various X3D4 examples to proceed
with testing. (No HTML please).
2.  ES6 (separate project)
     * project stalled.  One member fractured wrist, status of his code
unknown.  Need continued work on X3dToES6.xslt.    Work stalled on
ECMAScriptSerializer.js, but it is furthest along, I believe.
     * New contributors (developers/debuggers). There are plenty of
examples to debug at this point.
     * We are attempting to create a typesafe SAI for ES6, alongside
X3DJSAIL and X3DPSAIL.
3.  Health status
     * John's wrists seem to be getting better (yay).
     * John has been hallucinating word/number changes. He thought his two
credit cards had the same credit card number for a while.  All the more
reason to develop typesafe validation for JavaScript.
