<pasquale> hi all, good morning ;-)
<pasquale> zakim IPcaller is pasquale
<shawn> :-)
<LiamM> having problems with getting onto Zakim... will keep trying. In the meantime am here on irc
<shawn> scribe: Jack
<shawn> scribenick: Jack
<shawn> minor question on Involving Users in Web Accessibility Evaluation: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005OctDec/0052.html
<LiamM> Tanguy is also present
Judy: Agenda will include Outreach updates, Evaluation Tools for Web Accessibility - search/sort, business case promotion
William: Very encouraging that Europen approach is in harmony with W3C material
Judy: Encourages people to read the material from Barry
TongO: Talks about memo to memo webmasters that deals with accessibility
Judy: Will 92 criteria be maintained as European standards issued?
Tanguy: Not sure
<shawn> minor question on Involving Users in Web Accessibility Evaluation: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005OctDec/0052.html
Shawn: Appreciates feedback. Has
question about Optimizing Usability Testing for Accessibility
Issues
... Should the note be up in the page contents since it is not
a major focus of the document
... Should this be an H2? What should the text of the heading
be?
Liam: Minor question. Leave as is.
George: Agrees with Liam to leave as is.
<pasquale> i like as it is
<LiamM> Liam suggests that the word 'formal' be included in the text linking to the note.
<LiamM> Shawn agrees
<scribe> scribe: jack
<shawn> ACTION: shawn, Involving Users doc: within the main text, include the word "Formal" in the link "usability tests can be optimized". leave Optimising for UT as <h3> with current wording [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/10/21-eo-minutes.html#action01]
Judy: Postpone this until next Friday
Judy: Gives background. Worked on several years. The approach was one of building your own. Is still the level of interest? Have people heard that it is being used? Are people using it in their organization or outreach efforts?
George: Sent it on listserve and presented to educators. Response has been very positive.
Shawn: Based on feedback on web. Responses are positive but some say it is long.
Judy: Other responses or
experiences?
... How could it made more useable? Would a slide set help?
Perhaps a demo?
Shawn: Perhaps an article or something to put in a newletter?
Jack: That would be useful.
... Could be useful especially for an organization that is
large, decentralized and encounters web accessibility at
different times
Wayne: Can also be useful for a university system
Judy: How can it be used?
Wayne: Will look at issues dealing with policy and process issue. May need to add a section on 'How to get started?'
William: This document is for those where the wall have already been kicked down. There is a need for a document that helps to knock the walls in the first place.
Judy: Can you clarify?
William: Many places are still not ready to recognize that they have accesssibility needs
Judy: Other reactions to Wayne's comments
<pasquale> soory seems my mic dont work
George: In middle of a K-12 competition. The business model may be useful, especially with community colleges
Justin: University system in Michigan is similar to what Wayne describes. May also have uses with particular classes and help students understand case for accessibility
Judy: Are there additional things
we could do to make this useable? Such as an
introduction.
... Perhaps articles. Perhaps case studies - though this might
be too labor intensive
Shawn: Perhaps a slide set. This could provide a lot of use for minimal effort
Judy: Lets focus of the idea of a slide set for right now
George: A slide set would be a
good idea. Perhaps links to case studie
... Perhaps links to examples
<shawn> (doh, just found a comma missing in the business case :/
Judy: It would be great to meet that goal but need to maintain vendor neutrality
<shawn> George: ...graphical...
Shawn: Clarifies George's comment that examples of particular issues
Wayne: Thinks slide set is a good idea, but it needs to be accessible
<shawn> (discussion on how it fits in the process, what you do first)
<pasquale> sorry, my mic doesn't work, i'll send email to the list with my experiences about it ;-(
Liam: Can be useful but we probably make up our own sets of slides depending on client and especially their acceptance of the need for accessibility and hostility
<pasquale> ok
Judy: The more resistence of the
audience the more that data is needed?
... Slides may be the best low effort and return item. Is there
a better approach than a mini-slide set.
<pasquale> on Sept 6, I gave a 4 hours talk about
<pasquale> "Web accessibility: opportunities and rules". Audience: functionaries of Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Naples.
<pasquale> Content: Web accessibility opportunities and rules for Government and
<pasquale> Administration
<pasquale> Readings:
<pasquale> Introduction to Web Accessibility
<pasquale> http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/accessibility.php
<pasquale> How People with Disabilities Use the Web
<pasquale> http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/PWD-Use-Web/
<pasquale> Developing a Web Accessibility Business Case for Your Organization
<shawn> Shawn: about RSS feed: started listing all the pointers to the business case, but stopped 'cause there are too many -- in all sorts of places & languages - looks like a couple 100
<pasquale> http://www.w3.org/WAI/bcase/Overview
<pasquale> and the results and feedback was really good!
<pasquale> I'm going to translate it into italian ;-)
Wayne: Brief annoucements used in conjunction with slide sets could be effective
Judy: Staying with slide set approach. What do you want to see included?
<pasquale> all the document
<pasquale> no,
Shawn: Reading Pasquale's comments since his microphone is not working
<judy_dc> can't hear me?
Shawn: Has anyone does slides already?
Wayne: Slide set should address different levels of acceptance
Jack: Different levels of knowledge and acceptance of accessibility on the web
William: Different history should be reflected in slides
Judy: Expains more of the
background that William is refering to with MicroSoft and
accessibility
... To have the case studies work well they would have to be
directly retlated to web accessibility
... Should we have Shawn add an introduction?
Shawn: Probably not.
Judy: Any other ideas?
Liam: Taking a step back and talking to people that this is a hard struggle
Judy: A resource document for advocates?
Wayne: Important thought - but
have not done anything with it
... A web-based survey form to deal with the need for web
accessibility
Justin: Would it be possible to give things to bloggers
William: Need a clipping service
Judy: Paying attention to timing. Simple strategies such slides sets, blogger names, mentions in conference may have a multiplier effect
<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to say we need that 3 carrots & a stick image.
Judy: Any follow-up thoughts that people have are welcomed
Justin: There are many public clipping services that may be useful
<pasquale> by all
