Agenda in e-mail list archives: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005JanMar/0010.html
See List for posting by Sylvie Duchateau at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005JanMar/0013.html
JB: Possible Topics: Evaluation Resource Suite, Transition to WCAG 2.0
materials, Work on Static Gallery and Tutorials/Templates for that,
Promotional ideas from SH - highlights from WSTF.
HB: go through lists to make special invites to companies not represented.
JB: So involving more people in members of W3C - will be renewed letters
going out soon. As part of formal review process of W3C members - all have
one rep. on advisory committee. They send in review comments and say which
groups they are interested in. Do have several orgs. not currently
represented on EO - including developers.
SH: Participation in group - balance and appropriate participation. Goal not
to have one person from every member - but is something we look at.
JB: Go back to discussing Topics for F2F
JB: Updates Quicktips, Eval Resource Suite, Training Resource Suite - may
need to sort. Static Gallery related to WCAG 2.0 Transition and support -
difficult to split out... Some subjects are better as a conference discussion
and some online.
<shawn> notes in addition to revising existing materials, we think there will be additional documents needed for transition support.
JB: Quick Tips in Conference. Can't wrap up until document finalizes more.
Won't be stable by then - what kind of transition work can we do.
SH: We've got this new 2.0 - what kinds of things will we need to help people
with that? Checklist, Table comparing old and new at Checkpoint Level
HB: their job
JB: yes - but collect discussions among us and with WCAG - tricky thing is
that they keep evolving their concept of support and we change ours too.
SH: Meeting Tuesday http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag20.html
JB: Collect ideas for this - transition support
<shawn> migrating from wcag 10 to wcag 20
AA: Will there be overlap?
JB: SH and I will take offline (meeting on Tuesday). Things people want to
understand for meeting with Techniques group on Tuesday
HBJ: Previous meeting was not effective - ended up in discussion on whether
there should be work done on WCAG 1.0 or wait for WCAG 2.0. Strong opinions
about working on 1.0. Might be useful if people in Tech group understood what
we do - have extremely technical viewpoint. If we could discuss how to
implement their work and code maybe more implementable
JB: take time to explain how we see the world and present their stuff
SH: They feel behind on schedule - we need to come with a succinct focus and
plan for discussion - take advantage of time.
JB: User focus work SH did in early stage of WAI site design - Wendy C. has
seen it, have others on task force seen it?
SH: Wendy has seen it - been on calls when we've discussed making more
usable. Maybe we don't need to plan on the orientation of it - plan how to
address issues raised.
JB: Shawn and I work on this more - come back to EO before meeting.
HBJ: What about looking at technique documents and combine into
curriculum.
JB: Could put wide open - maybe want to take different approach with 2.0. CL
- any thoughts on this?
CL: I would like to see something different for 2.0 - curriculum difficult.
Maintenance and usability. Decisions made about 2.0 made sooner rather than
later.
JB: Publishing downloadable excerpts, synch with techniques document - have
so one blends into other. Synch with templates and tutorials. WCAG working
Group has thought about synch too
SH: Discussion about Curriculum would be good with Techniques group - will
have big impact
CL: If do really good job - curriculum may not be necessary, put in own
website if needed.
JB: Maybe that's the focus of the meeting then.
<zakim> shawn, you wanted to say curr discussion with WCAG tech
AA: Looking at what prepared already - documented these techniques - where
do you want to take them or where can we take them? Techniques are bold
technical code - don't show you where you start and what you end up with.
Tutorials that take you through process and show you how to do it.
Justin: Taking techniques and putting into template - incredibly useful. Use
all the time with new sites I'm developing
JB: sequence of discussion that would get us somewhere. Might be good to have
more pre-discussion with liaison, then have joint meeting for 90 minutes
where this is the main topic we discuss. Same people interested in discussing
are around could continue reading. Clearer idea of what we're doing and what
their doing - prototype of what we're making
Wayne: other element of curriculum is the development of an overview - an
organization of what is there. I think that is a big part of the curriculum.
I haven't developed online course yet, but have developed policies for doing
it. Read a lot about the field and familiar with it. See a need for - graphic
artists - what do they need to know about accessibility. Put into any course
teaching about web technology.
JB: Who else interested, Wayne, AA - tutorials and templates, Doyle,
HBJ
JB: Promotional Campaigns and Homepage Highlights - any comments?
JB: Any other major topics for F2F not on list?
HBJ: what about Lexicon?
SH: Would have a list and where they are going with definitions. Would be
good to do some discussion have to check with Henk
HBJ: We are pretty far with list.
AA: Would be nice to have document - things to consider when choosing an
accessibility consultant or a consultant to create accessible site.
CL: don't think an eliminator
JB: Idea of selecting consultant?
HBJ: interesting
JB: Priorities - F2F, first quarter,?
SH: good to have initial discussion. Not sure what we'd want to say and make
sure fits into priorities. Worth focused discussion - re-evaluate whether we
want to do
AC: Selecting evaluator - works with our project - planning to setup
framework for recruiting evaluators.
HBJ: Could be interesting to hear what others are thinking in this area.
JB: Updat<e to hear - brief topics at meeting.
JB: Priorities, understandability, balance - some relate more to our
issues and some relate less.
CC: Overarching response is as a reader - still confused what the difference
is between WCAG and ATAG. Read explanation of WCAG, mentioned a few times,
but not clarified. For everyday person doesn't clarify. 1.4 bulleted items
has definition that isn't clear.
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/components
Justin: AT can be web based - governed by WCAG - gets confusing.
JB: Complex
CJS: Link to Components doc
SH: role of doc itself vs. outside document.
<zakim> shawn, you wanted to ask role of guidelines technical spec vs something like the components doc...
JB: Discussion section of WCAG 2.0 draft.
JB: Relationship, etc. would be where this discussion would take place.
Working the introduction - apply EO perspective to what's in into. Give
suggestions of what content to put in intro of actual document in addition to
other docs
AA: Would be nice to say in document "through this, this, this" clearly.
Distinct lack of knowledge. Company with own AT - want to make more WCAG
compliant. Want to move up a notch - "don't understand what ATAG requires"
CC: Find as we introduce to org. talking to execs over developers at the same
time. Developers aren't aware of accessibility, but not technology. New to
both groups along with ancillary audiences - clarity important
JB: How to explain goal? SH mentioned Intro Doc - can we borrow sentences to
give clear marker
SH: think there can and should be overlap
JB: Build more into beginning introduction so in first few sentences audience
has more of an idea what ATAG is then abstract. Throughout intro improve
understanding of text
CC: As long as somewhere where it says to clarify WCAG from ATAG
AA: What document goals are
JB: Check for understandability - particularly focusing on sequence of what
is stated and where explained. All should read through intro thoroughly
CC: Look at WCAG 2.0 under authoring tools helps better than ATAG. A large
part of web content created with AT - effects content. Establishing
relationship in shortened form that lay person might be able to understand
HB: WCAG 2.0 Guideline 1 - color combo makes unreadable.
JB: Have very brief summary paragraph at beginning?
JT: Would move people gently into what they are about to read
JB: Look at ATAG and WCAG between now and next meeting - how to do better?
Status - move it? Suggestions for changing. Last thing they adjust before
going forward. Doesn't get edited necessarily.
JB: Follow-up next Friday along with other topics. ATAG key to attaining
widespread accessibility.
JB: Not as many people advocating for it to be followed if not readable. Will
batch together so people can review together.
<shawn> http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag
JT: Never thought as ATAG as anything but software. Blog phenomenon -
content management systems - anything where you put data in through something
and output to HTML.
JB: Can <say you wish document started by saying...?
JT: As far as outreach - need to "shout from rooftops" myth we need to work
on.
SH: With that knowledge read components doc and ATAG doc - things just like
that - good possibility for Highlight section on WAI site.
JT: Not just say it's for software.
JB: Lexicon Task force looking at glossary. Different worlds within document.
Much better if observations from EO came now and not at the end of last
call.
See email on EOWG list: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005JanMar/0011.html
SH: Still working on redesign - CSS, etc. IA - how pages are grouped and
layout is ready for comment. Not visual design, but hierarchical design and
content not ready for comment - visual design, color, design.
HB: Attempt to avoid WAI only Search.
SH: Would love to have a WAI only search - will not be available yet
HB: Likes - I could use it
CC: concerns about Site map usage with Screen Reader
AA: Will use Site Map - do search
SH: First level would be Headings. Only 3 levels of nested lists. Feedback
from SP - will use different markers for levels of hierarchy - roman numbers,
and other characters. Not last call - but much easier to make changes now
than later.
JT: Would like to be able to close navigation after opening
SH: Tradeoff made for design - close by clicking off of navigation.
AA: Taking of minus sign helps because now not suggestion you can click
there
SH: if white bar covered up box may help as well
JT: Natural - expect it to be there
Don't forget to signup for technical plenary
JB: Reminder - if registering need to sign up and contact Shawn if coming.
