lwatson: on call on Tuesday, discussed changing priority of a particular bug, and looked a some bugs that were lacking keywords, as well as looking at "needs info" bugs to make sure they have an assigned person
janina: I suspect our priority over the next month will be following up on various bugs and that more of us need to be helping do that
richardschwerdtfe: about canvas,
Frank asked to write a modified version of the hit-testing
proposal
... I asked him to base it on the current draft
... and I asked if we really need to change focus ring
... my take on it is, could we live with what's already in
there
... and I think we could
... so I think Frank is writing it up and we want to run it by
Jonas Sicking and Ted O'Connor
... some other things that came up is that we've been talking
about the component model that will help on this down the
road
... but in the mean time, we need to deal specifically with
canvas for now
janina: the text-alternatives
subteam did not meet this week
... and there are a couple of items that are waiting on me to
complete
... I expect that we will meet next Tuesday
cynthia: about the a11y API mappings subteam, Stevef, are we going to meet next Tuesday?
Stevef: yeah, can, but have to leave at half-past
John: about the Media subteam, we
need to get the subteam re-convened; we should probably do that
next week
... we have the poster-alt issue that has a Formal Objection
from me logged against it
... I talked with Frank about the ARIA-based solution for the
poster-alt issue
... and I need to follow up with David Bolter about it
... and if we could get that added to ARIA 1.1, would like to
do that
cynthia: Why would we need new ARIA markup for this, instead of just aria-describedat?
John: describedat would be the
long textual description for the movie itself
... we need a dedicated long textual description just for the
poster
cynthia: let's talk about this later
[some discussion about details]
John: we have been thinking about
this as a foreground image, but perhaps we need to think of it
as a background image
... and the ability to describe a background image has other
utility than just the poster-alt case
... lots of uses
... so if we were to add this new role, it would be abstracted
out for general use
richardschwerdtfe: we are trying to get ARIA through CR, I am a little concerned about this parallel effort
janina: can we talk about timing
and process on Monday's PF call?
... I think we have some good options
... the concern about going sequentially was that we would have
to re-do all our testing, but according to Judy that's not
necessarily so
richardschwerdtfe: well, we still have to get implementations in browsers
cynthia: could we do it during the last 30 minutes of the call, please?
janina: so let's to the
process-timing discussion ahead of that?
... and I want to remind everybody that the user-agent
implementation guide is a joint deliverable of the PFWG and
HTML WG
<paulc> http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/formal-objection-status.html#ISSUE-142
MikeSmith: any other business?
richardschwerdtfe: wanted to ask Judy, do we need to go through a full CR on ARIA 1.1 again?
Judy: you have all the evidence
for all the tests you did for ARIA 1.0
... so all of your evidence for 1.0 would still be valid
... it would be unusual if you were trying to run the timeline
so that they were done at the same time
... but maybe we don't need to drive the details here
... you would not be free of the obligations for 1.1, but you
would need to cover the new features
<Stevef> Ian Hickson responds over HTML5 getting 'time' element back http://www.netmagazine.com/news/ian-hickson-responds-over-html5-getting-time-element-back-111552
Judy: the length of CR is not
prescribed anywhere
... it is instead based on whether you met your exit
criteria
... in some cases it's possible to have a sort of zero-time CR,
if the group has done its preperation
<richardschwerdtfe> got to drop
Paul: I assume the TF is not meeting on US Thanksgiving?
janina: yeah
lwatson: I can scribe next week
Stevef: as I can't make it to the HTML WG meeting, I wanted to bring up the status on the <time> element, what's being done to get that back into HTML5?
<paulc> The Chairs are aware of the fact that the revert was not done by the Editor on the schedule we requested.
<paulc> We are also aware that the Editor has gone public with his personal views: http://www.netmagazine.com/news/ian-hickson-responds-over-html5-getting-time-element-back-111552
<paulc> We are discussing this with the Team via email and have nothing to report right now.
Stevef: OK, thanks
