"Script techniques http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005AprJun/0249.html and baseline impact" taken up [from Michael] 14:07:25 bg: propose we have 3 levels of scripting techniques 1) no scripting in baseline; 2) scripts that can enhance access; 3) accessible scripting 14:07:41 this sounds good 14:07:53 ack john 14:07:53 bg: difference between 2 and 3 are things that help accessibility vs. ways to write scripts acessibly 14:08:07 js: think that's 3 different approaches, but only 2 baselines 14:08:12 we can add a cover note 14:08:24 maybe that it is beeter not to have scripts in the baseline 14:08:30 today 14:08:41 bg: agree, does seem like only 2 baselines 14:08:54 bg: leave accessible scripts out for the next WD? 14:09:15 js: leave placeholder and include some preliminary description of these techniques? 14:09:41 bg: do people agree we need all 3 categories? 14:10:12 ls: think it might make more sense to merge them - scripts that enhance accessibility should be part of both baselines 14:10:46 +Alex_Li 14:11:20 bg: so you're saying use scripts that enhance accessibility, but if they don't run, no harm is done 14:11:32 ls: yes, include them even if it's outside of baseline 14:11:36 q+ 14:11:48 ack john 14:11:52 q+ 14:12:09 js: in base baseline, where there is no support for client-side scripting, we might want to suggest use of server-side validation techniques 14:12:43 ack ben 14:13:19 bc: javascript can be used even if not part of baseline (just not relied upon) 14:13:34 ack leasa 14:13:37 bg: think what we're saying is that anywhere we can, we include advice about script that degrades gracefully 14:14:12 +Wendy 14:14:37 wendy has joined #wai-wcag 14:14:40 ls: example of server-side validation as fallback - it's still good to also have client-side validation - don't want to reduce accessibility features just because a technology isn't in the baseline 14:15:03 mc: yes, these techniques would be optional in the base baseline 14:15:14 mc: do we feel pretty confident on the baseline? 14:15:38 js: are we agreed that we're dealing with 2 baselines and 2 tracks within them or is it back to three? 14:16:02 [group agrees - 2 baselines - 2 tracks] 14:16:04 fyi: can use "resolution: ...." to capture resolutions in scribe.perl 14:16:33 resolution: assume 2 baselines and 2 tracks for script techniques 14:16:49 mc: matt and becky, what do we need to do to script techinques? 14:16:51 RRSAgent, draft minutes 14:16:51 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2005/05/25-wai-wcag-minutes.html wendy 14:17:10 mm: most of those things implicitly falls into one of those categories - not a bright line between the two in some cases 14:17:20 RRSAgent, make log world 14:17:25 mm: still have a list of bugs and issues against current draft to work through 14:18:42 zakim, who is on the phone? 14:18:42 On the phone I see John_Slatin, Lisa_Seeman, Michael_Cooper, Becky_Gibson, Tim_Boland, Christophe_Strobbe, Ben, Matt, Alex_Li, Wendy 14:18:50 Present: John_Slatin, Lisa_Seeman, Michael_Cooper, Becky_Gibson, Tim_Boland, Christophe_Strobbe, Ben, Matt, Alex_Li, Wendy 14:19:27 mc: are there additional techniques to be proposed? want to have a good set of draft techniques for the face to face. 14:20:55 mc: what other general decisions do we need to make about script techs? 14:21:24 bg: one thing is if we allow scripts in a baseline, do we still need to say don't use javascript URIs in hrefs? 14:21:52 mc: optional in baseline that includes scripts, but can't do it in the base baseline 14:23:13 bg: in some applications, you can't degrade gracefully 14:24:42 mc: might be good excercise to take script techniques and sort them into the two baselines 14:26:08 bg: we do need to go through to make sure that now that script can be part of a baseline, guidelines cover all the issues around what people might do with script 14:26:41 ack john 14:26:43 mm: suggest dividing on general techniques around scripting and "if javascript is required" 14:27:23 js: think we may have fundamenatally different assumptions about accessibility practice 14:28:29 js: may be a need to have a conversation about those two assumptions 14:29:59 David has joined #wai-wcag 14:30:18 +Dave_MacDonald 14:30:27 sorry I'm late, had to finish a job for a client 14:30:33 mm: may not be as different as you think - talking about "unobtrusive javascript" in some cases, then other approach is where javascript is the only way to achieve certain functionality 14:32:00 -Tim_Boland 14:32:10 bg: agree that it's important that we handle script techniques that way - here's how you use javascript and degrade gracefully - here's how you use it if you rely on javascript 14:32:48 -Becky_Gibson 14:33:11 action: becky and matt to review SC and identify script issues related to each baseline assumption 14:33:24 zakim, close this item 14:33:24 agendum 1 closed 14:33:25 I see 6 items remaining on the agenda; the next one is 14:33:26 2.

"Prioritise content for next round of techniques drafts" taken up [from Michael] 14:33:58 js: what I had in mind was something like the discussion we just had for scripting techs, but for the techniques documents in general 14:34:31 js: near-term goal is new draft of techniques at end of June, question is what is most important to include in these new drafts 14:35:06 js: one goal is to come as close as we can to a last call draft - more specifically, we're aiming at giving web community a clear understadning about what it is we're actually planning to do 14:35:23 js: question is, what has to be in techniques documents to accomplish that? 14:36:32 mc: this is in terms of content and not structure, right? 14:36:39 js: yes, primarily content 14:37:03 mc: example might be to include the techniques proposed as a result of the issue summaries 14:37:20 mc: another one is let's really feel good about script techniques 14:38:07 dm: focus is on General, HTML, CSS and Script? 14:38:31 js: I have a question about general, but certainly the other 3 (we haven't resolved relationship between general and the guide) 14:39:43 js: at f2f, one possibility was that the guide doc would replace general techniques, another was that general does live as a separate document on par with HTML and CSS. We've not had a real discussion on that and I think it makes a difference about how we go about doing the work 14:39:57 q+ 14:40:32 ack wendy 14:40:54 action: john and david to make recommendation about how guide doc and general techniques relate 14:41:38 wc: we talked about format of guide doc as an agenda item for the face to face - wondering if we should wait until F2F? 14:42:43 js: propose that we're in agreement about HTML, CSS and Scripting techniques and that the general techniques and guide doc need to be further addressed at the F2F 14:44:49 action: john to initiate additional work from subgroup on format of guide docs 14:46:08 q+ 14:46:16 ack wendy 14:46:17 mc: there have been techniques issue reviews for guidelines which have resulted in various reccomendations, should we include them? 14:46:46 wc: think as much cleanup as we can do, the better - a lot of the reviews have been moving toward that 14:46:55 resolution: Focus on HTML, CSS, Script techniques for next round of drafts 14:47:33 resolution: Have at least placeholders for the techniques proposals arising out of guideline reviews 14:53:16 action: wendy look into time to create questionnaires 14:54:04 dm: any resolution about how much baseline information is included yet? 14:54:48 mc: have been operating under the 3 baselines assumption for some time now 14:55:08 dm: does there need to be a recommendation on format? 14:55:15 q+ 14:55:20 [music]Don't stop thinking about to-MOR-row... 14:55:31 q+ 14:55:38 ack wendy 14:56:19 wc: important to have a mock-up by the f2f - for guideline 1.1 work, I've been rewriting some techniques to include baseline info - would be helpful to have some mockups to discuss at f2f 14:57:01 dm: might want to do mockups while we do issue reviews 14:57:07 ack ben 14:58:17 resolution: next techniques drafts will include baseline information 14:58:36 mc: need action items for people to create mockups 14:59:03 wc: part of what I was doing was looking at initial information that MC, BG and BC generated 15:00:14 wc: part of what needs to happen in reviews is to look at that info and addresss issues, suggest ways to address places where things don't match up 15:01:18 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005AprJun/0010.html 15:01:48 i can 15:02:20 action: ben create mockup of baseline in techniques 15:02:48 action: matt propose how to include baseline in scripting techniques 15:03:21 -John_Slatin 15:03:21 zakim, ping in 5 minutes 15:03:22 ok, Michael 15:03:23 -Dave_MacDonald 15:03:25 -Christophe_Strobbe 15:03:32 -Lisa_Seeman 15:07:18 +Dave_MacDonald 15:08:22 Michael, you asked to be pinged at this time 15:08:35 +John_Slatin 15:08:53 scibe: david 15:08:59 +Christophe_Strobbe 15:09:00 scribe: David 15:09:00 agenda? 15:09:06 zakim, close this item 15:09:07 scribe: David_macDOnald 15:09:14 scribe: David 15:09:20 zakim, take up agendum 3 15:09:23 agendum 2 closed 15:09:24 I see 5 items remaining on the agenda; the next one is 15:09:26 3.

"resolution:" doesn't actually have an effect, although it is defined in the user's guide. must be a different template that picks that up. 16:09:06 i'm hoping to write a template for our minutes that puts actions and resoultions at the top. 16:12:45 does "resolved:" have an effect? 16:13:06 no. 16:13:19 http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm 16:13:27 says to use "resolution" 16:13:43 also says can use a variety of templates. therefore, assuming it is imlemented in one of the other tempaltes...or hadn't been yet. 16:15:09 could either modifly scribe.perl to create or create a template and use -template templateFile.html 16:15:10 Use templateFile.html as the template for generating the minutes. 16:15:19 s/modifly/modify heh 16:16:36 will definitely need to modify scribe.perl to create the list of resolutions. 16:16:43 here's part of a template: 16:17:25
