[who does what discussion]

Longdesc Extension Update (CfC currently has very few responses)

CMN: CfC doesn't have many responses - it would be nice ot have more.

… one response form James Craig discussing the point about clarifying that longdesc applies to everything - says that isn't his point, he just doesn't want to use longdesc.

… there is a technical point there, but his objection is wanting another spec. Don't see any objection on the technical point.

SF: Imagine people who want to make longdesc obsolete but conforming make their point in HTML WG. That would presumably imply an alternative proposal.

Status of "alt" text in HTML (specification and usage in the

<Stevef> agree with chaals, let people make constructive counter proposals if they want to step up and do so

CMN: Where we are up to is the HTML chairs and editors are waiting for us to file the bugs in HTML WG so they can work through them.

… They have a decision which requests gidance in the spec, but the guidance that is there can be discussed, so as far as I can tell, that is what we should be doing.

<Stevef> +1 to chaals

… in theory we could try to re-open ISSUE-31, but that seems both painful and unnecessary.

JB: Regards processing individual bugs, would do that in HTML WG.

… there may be a pending coordination question on how much can be done where, think it would be good for TF chairs and HTML editors to have a quick chat. Avoiding reopening ISSUE-31 would be of value to humanity.

SF: I have filed 4 bugs on alt issues. All except 1 are not in section 4.8 but in surrounding sections. Purely on examples they have, using title attribute.

CMN: So we need to get on with filing the bugs, and getting them dealt with.

EO'C: (makes chaals laugh. Luckily, chaals was muted).

… Yep. File, and follow up… I don;t think there is a big problem here, just a question of work.

JB: Undertsand Robin Berjon has this task among the editors...

EO'C: He has assigned them to himself. But bugs can be passed around the editors if needed.

Subteam Reports: Bug Triage; Text;

JB: Text subteam got swamped by holidays. Next meeting Jan 8

… will start processing bugs tagged "text" at that point.

… have processing question about bugs that are being deferred to A11yTF or HTML 5.1

… Ted, is that something editors have a preference about? E.g. bugs previously closed as WONTFIX that A11yTF think shouldbe fixed, but presumably not in HTML5.0

… We couldn't find good classification.

EO'C: Things resolved as "later" are usually being opened on HTML.next - if things fall off our radar, move them there and open them.

… If you think there is work to be done in the TF I think it would be valuable to have a component in Bugzilla - perhaps something will become an extension spec but we don't know a priori. We should ask Team contacts to create a component for A11yTF.

… There are bugs where TF disagrees with original resolution. I think re-opening is the right thing to do, and you should double-check the assignee to make sure it is one of the current editors. Editors have been trawling through this stuff, and picking up bugs assigned to dave.null

… so assigning to dave.null gets it into the editor's "pick list"

JB: Not sure how many of these last we found. Don't think we picked up "Later" bugs… how to clarify?

EO'C: There is HTML.next component, and "later" as a resolution.

… there will now be things that get done for 5.1 and things that should happen after that, so there will need to be a classification.

… Things resolved "later" that need to be noticed should be re-opened with the right component.
