<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/122

<pimpbot> Title: ISSUE-122: alt text and description for Lady of Shalott example - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

mjs: already have a call for proposal - only have null proposal but not a proposal for the original issue
... chairs reviewed and decided it made more sense to apply the reasoning of this issue to all the wg publications
... that means that we're asking again for proposals given the expanded scope
... and asking for the original proposal to be updated to include proposals for all drafts

Heart beat publications

mjs: our heartbeat publications did get published
... we had another round of all 8 of our drafts published once again
... good to keep that heartbeat going

paulc: we made a change at the last moment to take comment form off the html5 document and we discovered that microdata and canvas also had the form
... and so those have been removed for now too
... chairs did take that feedback from the working group

TPAC next week

mjs: next week is w3c technical plenary and advisory commitee meeting
... html wg will have a f2f on thursday/friday
... no telcon that week but will try to keep irc going
... so people will be able to participate by irc
... tp day will have interesting sessions including demo and panel discussion about html

Media requirements update

<JF> +q

mjs: link in the agenda to the mail i sent out
... there have been comments on the mailing list

<JF> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Checklist

<pimpbot> Title: Media Accessibility Checklist - HTML accessibility task force Wiki (at www.w3.org)

john: regarding the requirements, if people could look at the checklist as a primary list
... one of the things we've tried to do is to map these requirements against WCAG and UAAG
... and using must, should, may criteria
... if people could look at that and take that into account to try to understand how we got to where we are

janina: i'm glad the discussion is happening - it was making me nervous that there wasn't any

cyns: glad to hear the questions about priority have been addressed - they will be important to make sure we have progress in html5

janina: we will do our best to participate in the discussion as well - haven't weighed in yet on the recent mails

paulc: janina and other people interested, do we have someone on point to suggest on thursday morning that we have a discussion during the f2f

janina: i am in favour of doing that - thursday is the best day
... unfortunately not many media people will be there but have indicated they can participate by telcon
... the more notice the better

paulc: i answered the logistical set-up question for tpac and we didn't request telcon facilities
... so it would have to be ad hoc

janina: okay

paulc: we didn't have that at tpac 2009
... we said we would keep the irc channel open but not planning for telcon to be available

<JF> +1 to skype

paulc: hard for people to hear on the phone in a large room
... we can try to set-up something but someone needs to be on point to arrange that
... if someone is going to use Skype or a personal laptop - might be worth anchoring when that session should happen if we consensus to hold it
... if we could have some discussion about having this on the public list it would help
... that's what i meant by on point
... fyi, i did request a breakout room so we can do some topics simultaneously
... it's very possible a lot of people will want to discuss this topic

janina: i think looking for a time might be a good thing to decide early but we might not be able to resolve the technology before we get there
... since it is thur/fri we have time

cyns: might we worth mailing people who will be there to bring some hardware

janina: better to use a good device but we can try to do something

<MikeSmith> I'm not sure we necessarily need a speaker phone.. I have had good results with just using normal speaker and mike from my PC

<plh> Mike?

MikeSmith: in my exp.....

<plh> can't hear you

<Zakim> MikeSmith, you wanted to say that is normally works pretty well to just use Skype

Task Force reports - Accessibility Task Force

janina: there isn't anything particular to report beyond what was discussed already for media
... groups continue to work but nothing particular to report

Task Force reports - Testing Task Force

krisk: we met as planned last week - on 10/19

<krisk> Notes -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-testsuite/2010Oct/0024.html

krisk: there's no meeting on 11/2 because of tpac
... next meeting is 11/16 - schedule is on the wiki
... group approved more tests
... now have 212 approved tests
... we don't have any active bugs for approved tests at this time, good
... other good stuff, microsoft updated test results for ie9 platform preview 6
... google also sent in results to the list so their results are updated for chrome7
... which is good to see
... would be good to see other browser vendors update their tests too - they're getting kind of old
... that's it - i'll be at tpac if anyone wants to talk about testing
... any questions?

<mjs> sorry, I fell off the line, dialing again

http://test.w3.org/html/tests/reporting/report.htm

<pimpbot> Title: HTML5 Conformance Test Results (at test.w3.org)

paulc: krisk, are anticipating wanting to have a session during the f2f on testing?

krisk: yes, i'd like to

paulc: i'd encourage you to start a thread on the mailing list
... you might suggest some items for discussion
... i'd like to start collecting stuff over the next week so we aren't surprised by topics on thursday morning

<krisk> that makes sense - I'll send something out to the list before next thursday

Chairs request to revert change to Editor's Draft

mjs: chairs have made request to revert changes to recent editor's draft
... that included link to whatwg draft and grayed out all the text
... any questions or comments?

paulc: ian hasn't responded to my e-mail this morning but has responded to others

plh: disappointed by the attitude of the editor at the moment, concerned about the current situation

... i did specifically ask that

julian: ok

Other business

mjs: anything else?

Scribe for next meeting
