<shawn> WAI-ARIA 1.0 Candidate Recommendation and Role Attribute Last Call Working Draft, comments due 25 Feb
Shawn: We are not planning a EOWG review of WAI-ARIA, so please review individually and bring up issues for EOWG discussion if you would like
<shawn> UAAG nearing Working Draft publication, in-progress Editors' Draft is available
shawn: I'm looking at browser ability to set test atributes for improved readability for people with print disabilities (esp low vision and dyslexia), and don't think it is sufficient, so will be writing about that soon. If you have perspectives feel free to let me know.
Sandi: Who is good to talk to about this? Someone from Opera?
Shawn: Patrick Lauke is in UAAG WG
<shawn> WCAG WG working on PDF Techniques - discuss reactions to Flash techniques announced in October
Sandi: I really need to look in
to making accessible PDF and other documents.
... are there guidelines available?
shawn: yes, there are guidelines
for PDF, produced by Adobe and others.
... WCAG WG currently looking specifically at PDF and WCAG.
... one of the concerns is that when we publish these techniques do people get
the impression we are saying that all flash or PDF [or other technology] can be made
fully accessible (which is not true)?
... we want to be careful to make sure that is not the
impression we give.
... do we need to do anything from an education
and outreach point of view to head off any misunderstandings and issues that might
arise with publication of PDF Techniques?
Sylvie: we have a conference for accessibility on 28th March in Paris.

shawn: we will send out an email reminding people of WAI participation in upcoming conferences in March.
<shawn> CSUN list of web sessions <http://www.csunconference.org/index.cfm?EID=80000300&p=380&page=Schedule&ECTID=0>
shawn: For SXSW we will point out sessions that specifically relate to web accessibility
sandi: Any guidance for non-W3C staff on working groups at conferences
shawn: Be clear about what your
relationship is. Choose the right terminology: Participant in
working groups, invited experts, W3C members
... In general individuals don't do things on behalf of EOWG
... Feel free to talk about involvement opportunities
... recruiting is one of the things that you can do best
shadi: according to the W3C
process, only the chairs of a WG are entitled to speak on
behalf of a group.
... The best way to approach it is to say you are active in a
group, but not speak as a representative
shawn: Remember to update
teleconference availability
... There are several things on http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/ that
are open reviews, so please take a look at that.
... in particular we want to update slides in February
shawn: As Liam is not here we will not discuss 'W3C website pages on user agents and authoring tools' this week. If you have any comments please send them.
