"Text Cust. CfP (30m) - http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Text_Customization_Symposium_draft_page" taken up [from shawn] 13:38:36 :) 13:39:51 http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Text_Customization_Symposium_draft_page#Call_for_Papers_2 13:40:59 shawn: edits have been received from Shadi for main symposium page. The other co-chairs will have edits as well. The text has been put into the wiki from the main symposium page. There are 2 sections TCFR main page and 2nd second is call for papers 13:41:18 shadi: having problem with definition of the call for papers 13:41:45 shadi: very dependent on objectives and scope - which are part of the call 13:42:17 shawn: maybe not look at the first part as it was previously approved. Edits not yet integrated and chairs may have others. People should have already looked at it. Need to look at edits first 13:42:51 shadi: look at objectives. Pre-call is a placeholder, but we need to finalize the call and it would be useful to look at the objectives and scope as they are prt of the call for papers 13:43:11 shawn: has edits now that have not been integrated as of yesterday] 13:43:30 shadi: do you have questions about those comments - may be other opinions 13:43:54 shadi: look at the page shawn has put in irc and look at it from a scientific perspective 13:44:09 shadi: scope and objectives need to be looked at now 13:45:22 [group reading material provided by Shawn until Simon and Markel join] 13:46:42 +??P20 13:47:10 +??P21 13:47:36 I've no mic 13:47:43 zakim, ??P21 is markel 13:47:43 +markel; got it 13:48:25 zakim, ??P20 is sharper 13:48:25 +sharper; got it 13:49:16 http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Text_Customization_Symposium_draft_page#Call_for_Papers_2 13:50:00 +q 13:50:08 ack J 13:50:09 simon: thoughts? 13:50:13 zakim, mute me 13:50:13 Shadi should now be muted 13:51:05 justin: what about character sets - don't see anything about this. 13:51:20 shawn: it would be interesting to see how different character sets are recognized 13:51:43 justin: we've had some problems with the different character sets - trying to make it accessible and scalable - something to keep in mind 13:51:57 shawn: shall we craft a question later? 13:52:09 simon: more comments? 13:52:29 q+ 13:52:48 q+ 13:53:09 shawn: have received some comments from Shadi that I haven't had a chance to integrate 13:54:13 shawn: new comment at the top of the objectives - there had not been a lot of research on this topic and that by having it as separate we could encourage more research through this symposium. It may be too passive. Does it fit there, or should it be refined? 13:54:20 q- 13:54:26 ack s 13:54:29 ack me 13:55:36 shadi: from own perspective, feel the objectives section needs more refining - some of the questions are very specific and pre-determined in their outcomes, whle others like the first one are really generic - more of a goal for the symposium 13:56:35 shadi: call for papers - "we invite papers on..." very specific. Maybe a sub-heading "for this symposium we invite papers on the following". Maybe refine the questions more -make them less pointed 13:56:41 simon: comment? 13:57:12 simon: first line is more about the symposium - its more of a goal and could be included in the goals rather than in the objectives 13:57:23 +1 13:57:24 q+ 13:57:30 ack v 13:57:31 +1 13:57:57 q+ 13:58:28 simon: the call will be emailed etc. 13:59:05 shawn: call for papers page and then there's the email that goes out. It was intended to be the web page and all of those details aren't needed in the email. Review policy etc don't need to be in the email. 13:59:38 zakim, mute me 13:59:38 Shadi should now be muted 13:59:39 simon: copyright can point to the page, but the review process should be known - encourages writers as they know about the peer-review etc 13:59:48 zakim, who is making noise? 13:59:59 shadi, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: klaus (77%), sharper (94%) 14:00:24 simon: people know fromthe start that there is rigour in the paper review process 14:00:26 zakim, mute me 14:00:26 klaus should now be muted 14:00:43 ack v 14:01:46 q+ 14:02:39 ack s 14:02:41 ack me 14:02:41 vivienne: can you make the structure a little clearer in the objectives? 14:03:39 shadi: groups need a heading "we invite papers on", "additional materials required",. then questions are more illustrative. They would be some kind of section heading or theme 14:03:48 simon: anyone else? 14:04:48 shawn: will need to make some more changes and review draft - need 1 more review draft 14:04:58 simon: can you send it out to us? 14:05:05 shawn: today or at least this week 14:05:29 shadi: how many people are available to review by email? 14:05:57 [ ftr, Peter reviewed it ans added some feedback into the wiki that I incorporated] 14:06:08 simon: some people may not feel it needs more refining. People who think of submitting would just get on with it and not worry so much about the wording 14:06:19 s/Peter reviewed it ans/Peter reviewed it and/ 14:06:31 simon: can we get it so that we can just send the review out this week, and then next week agree and send it out 14:06:47 shawn: yes, we can get it done for next week 14:07:50 shadi: other prerequisites other than agreeing call for papers is the allocation of the other co-chairs we were working on last week 14:08:20 shawn: updates on co-chairs - 2 are confirmed David Sloan, Kath Straub 14:08:57 shawn: they both have strong research backgrounds and Kath has great usability experience 14:09:34 shadi: Simon can agree to visitors to teleconferences where the there are specific agenda items where needed 14:10:14 shadi: if they want to join the group, they have to go through the correct procedure 14:10:29 zakim, take up next 14:10:29 agendum 3. "Next Topic Discussions (25m)" taken up [from all] 14:10:44 zakim, unmute me 14:10:44 klaus should no longer be muted 14:10:51 http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Topic_4_pre-call 14:11:05 klaus: draft to link to description to call for papers 14:11:48 zakim, mute me 14:11:48 Shadi should now be muted 14:12:23 klaus: focus would be more on the language use itself - separates text customization from language use and uses challenging questions. Have a look at the practice in translation of information into easy to read - but little about methodology, guidelines and what is being done in practice 14:13:55 klaus: additional question: models of easy to read in practice. Who performs the task etc. There is other text coming from other colleagues and this will be added. This is just a draft and Klaus would like input from the group. Asking for feedback 14:14:37 simon: we focus on shawn's call for paper and we spend 5 minutes next week to approve. We'll add 30 minutes next time for the E2R and by that time Klaus and his colleages will have their input. 14:14:56 q+ 14:14:59 ack me 14:14:59 zakim, mute me 14:15:00 ack s 14:15:01 klaus should now be muted 14:16:31 shadi: appreciate Klaus' work. Initial reaction - seems very broad in scope. May need more structuring, particularly the objectives section. You may need to group things a bit more e.g. user needs, definition of rules, techniques. Maybe pose specific questions with other grouped under it. 14:16:41 q+ 14:16:46 zakim, unmute me 14:16:46 klaus should no longer be muted 14:16:56 Shadi: where has the scientific committee come from? 14:17:07 klaus: it has been copied & pasted 14:17:15 shadi: needs to be worked out separately 14:17:51 q+ 14:18:41 q+ to say for E2R, Shawn will be on the Scientific Committee, but not Co-Chair :-) 14:18:55 shadi: regarding the symposium chairs - maybe need to look at a native speaker? On the user groups, people with cognitive problems - need to watch wording - disabilities not problems 14:18:58 zakim, mute me 14:18:58 Shadi should now be muted 14:19:07 q+ to mention SC for one not the other 14:19:09 ack me 14:19:09 shawn, you wanted to say for E2R, Shawn will be on the Scientific Committee, but not Co-Chair :-) and to mention SC for one not the other 14:19:44 shawn: for the E2R I can be on the scientific committee, won't be on the chair. 14:20:12 q+ 14:20:14 shawn: reminder -drafted a page for an invitation to the scientific committee 14:20:19 ack v 14:20:51 ack k 14:20:57 [I'm happy to be on the scientific committee, not a co-chair] 14:21:06 Vivienne: not on SC for e2r 14:21:07 vivienne: please remove me from the scientific committee as I'm not qualified in this 14:21:47 q+ 14:21:48 klaus: thought the scientific committee was to be the same as we were thinking we may have to switch people to the other symposium. Do I need to write to them? 14:21:51 q- 14:21:57 zakim, mute me 14:21:57 klaus should now be muted 14:22:26 q+ 14:22:51 shawn: we had talked about that some time ago (1) invited people who are specifically interested in Text customization not easy to read (2) its up to the chairs regarding moving papers. People may not be interested in both topics. 14:23:09 ack me 14:24:14 shadi: last week we talked about that - suggested the chairs would need to be well-coordinated and the individual scientific committees will review and the chairs may recommend moving a paper from one topic to the other. The chairs should be in each other's scientific committee. There could be separate scientific committees. 14:24:22 zakim, mute me 14:24:22 Shadi should now be muted 14:24:57 timelines http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Topic_3_Timeline 14:25:15 q+ 14:25:22 simon: will send a new agendy with more detail on E2R and please read the updated call for papers for Text Customization. If you're going to object, then make sure you've sent notice to Shawn. 14:25:56 simon: we'll look at Klaus' update more then also.

Maybe be a bit more demanding. 14:27:47 zakim, mute me 14:27:47 Shadi should now be muted 14:28:20 simon: I'll send out a note for people to look at both of these and will include the URL's. 14:29:08 shawn: timelines: we discussed moving the paper deadline later and Klaus seems to be in support of that. Text customization chairs agree with that. Will review timelines again and have a later deadline. 14:29:15 +1 to later deadline! thanks for the work to make this happen shawn and klaus 14:29:19 ack me 14:29:43 shadi: research report - for editors, need to approve changes to bring to the group. 14:30:03 +1 14:30:06 simon: editors - markel and giorgio - good with that 14:30:11 s/Will review timelines again/Will revise timelines again/ 14:30:41 zakim, mute me 14:30:41 Shawn should now be muted 14:30:52 shadi: discuss it again next week - will send message to group summarize changes that have been done.
