<janina> Meeting: IndieUI Task Force telecon

Zakim: I am Joseph_Scheuhammer

Telecon Time Scheduling

<andy> is this me?

<scribe> scribenick: clown

time of meeting

JS: at f2f in lyons discussed changing meeting time to be later.
... europeans liked this.

JS 23:00 CET, 22:00UTC 5:00pm EST

JS: can no longer commit to that time as I have another commitment to travel to.
... wonder is 4pm EST would work.

JC: San-wang should be in on this discussioin (in Tokyo).
... let's put a proposed time in the list.

JS: no objections to 4pm? That gets back when we get to daylight saving time
... 5am in Tokyo in daylight time.
... or, stay with 5pm EDT but on another day.
... we're taking about 9 or 10pm in London.

CJ: that's ok.

JC: every other time?

JS: not clear.
... I think it would be acceptable.

JC: if it is every other time, then let's get a time that works for US+Tokyo and another time that works for US+Europe

JS: I will explore tokyo plus US
... will take this to email
... other days of the week that are possible?

AH: there are for me.

JS: let's take to email discussion.

Editor's Draft

JC: I'm not thru all the edits disucssed at the f2f
... I've posted some to the list, and we can discuss those.
... removed DOM changed request events
... that requires the AT to know a lot about how the web app works, and that can't be expected.
... next big edit was adding the UIPanRequest event
... now a delta-x and y, and that makes more sense.
... added a Zoom event.
... sometimes they are discreet, and sometimes they are continuous (e.g. scrioll wheel to zoom into a map).
... might want a zoom start and zoom end event.
... that's still in discussion.
... and, I made edits to respect the ReSpec rules.
... user context draft needs a lot of work still in this regard.

JS: discussion?

JS; James, you suggested we go thru closed actions/issues?

JC: that was the update I just gave.
... but there are also a bugzilla products for indieui event and one for indieui context
... joseph's notes from the group's proposal is now in there.

JC: we'll talk about that with andy

JS: questions?

User Needs Capture

JC: can I pull it back one?
... action for column sorting events for grids
... unless any objections, I was going to propose something in an edit, and then send it to the list.

JS: hearing no objections.
... this is coming together nicely, thanks to James' work.
... the meeting in Lyons was really good.
... andy?

AH: My action is to go through the user needs out there and produce a set that we would incorporate.

<jcraig> Sorry, ACTION-11 earlier was supposed to be ACTION-25

<jcraig> ACTION-25?

<trackbot> ACTION-25 -- James Craig to add markRequest with variant properties indicating "fromLast" (like Shift+click or select range from last mark) and "retainMarks" (like Mac Cmd+click or Win Ctrl+click meaning select in addition to) -- due 2012-11-09 -- OPEN

<jcraig> There it is. ;-)

AH: what is the scope of this?
... I posted a discussion about this.
... there is a core of things that a device can do something about.
... that relates to preferences that exist for that device.
... several reasons to involve prefs to just pass to the webapp
... want to get people's views on this scope problem.
... it would be useful to write something into the draft fairly quickly.
... in order to make that clear.

<Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to ask for an example of what you have in mind

AH: the scope currently is a lot narrower than I thought is would be.

JC: what do you have in mind?
... what do you mean by prefs that are passed up to the web app.

AH: screen-enhanced content might be a case.

JC: what do you mean by enhance?

AH: colour transform for example.

JC: what does that mean? not being contentious, just want and explanation.

AH: audio transcripts — all sorts of things that <?>

JC: something like "prefers video descriptions" could be <?>

RS: the user prefs doesn't care who does the transformation.
... we are confusing people.

AH: there might be situations where…

JS: stick with the colour example. that might be simpler.
... might need a dark background with lighter fonts.
... and there might be problems with certain colour combinations

<jcraig> a dark-on-light key versus light-on-dark key is actionable. "color transform" is vague

AH: sometimes you can do that on the devcie, and other times where one can't.
... there are a whole host of these.
... some of these can be handled by the device.
... but others where the device can't handle it, so pass it up to the web app to deal with.
... and other where the device can handle it, but the webapp does a better job.

RS: when developing these prefs, we should take into account the capability of the device.

AH: can we do something to put these ideas into the draft?

JC: the plan is to constantly update the draft.
... but I'm still confused by the core of your idea.
... are you talking about GPII?

AH: no, simply talking about passing it on to the webapp.

JC: passing it from where?

RS: let's take high contrast.
... if preferred, and the platform has it, don't pass it on because it's handled by the device.
... if we expose these things, we need to be more explicit.
... if the device currently has the setting on...
... it's already satisfied by the device.
... you would not want to pass the preference on.
... when we define these prefs, we should provide guidance to the browser developers about passing it on.
... let's go thru the preferences, and vet them with the group.

AH: can we get something into the editor's draft now, and share it with others?

JC: can you propose some text?
... the keys we need to state whether a natvie feature is on, and a key to say that the native setting is not necessarly preferred.

AH: okay, it will a different preference.

JC: just a suggestion.

<janina> I'm wondering whether third party service should be out of scope for us.

<Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to say I still don't know what you mean by device can't respond a pref but the device "pass it up" and I think what you're talking about is out of scope.

JS: we can decide if andy's proposals are in scope or not.
... Greg V has a "tried harder" notion.
... where you can access a third party way off in the cloud to help you out.

<jcraig> I think we're in agreement now. Andy agreed to send some suggested text to the list.

JS: I think this is out of scope for us.
... or, do we want a third party server to do this?

JC: don't think andy was asking for that.

AH: there might be.

JS: I think we should not consider those ones.

AH: there are prefs that the device cannot respond to, but you still want those preferences stated.

JS: are we thinking that other servers that could provide the transform, that this process is in scope.

JC: are you talking about http services as opposed to client javascript.

<andy> good phrasing of it james

JC: Janina was asking for something like QuickTime ref movie requests, which might respond with a low rez version or one with captions.
... I think that is out of scope.
... I think andy's ideas are in scope.

<andy> I will do

<andy> seems I'm not heard so I'll type it

JC: I think we need to expand. the list of keys.

<andy> fair enough - except in the longer run the differences

AH: in the longer run, the differences are a difference in degree of complexity.

JS: we are looking for a baseline that will be adopted by the industry.

AH: I will write some text.

JS: and, to keep ourselves from being ambitious for 1.0
... we need 1.0 to be a roaring success.
... that's the end of the agenda. Anything else?
... a scribe for next meeting, please. Nov 28th.

<jcraig> The list of defined prefs is short at the moment (fontsize, captions, screenreader, etc) but we can and certainly should add more for 1.0, as long as they are generally useful.

JS: no volunteer. We will find a scribe at the next meeting.
