<chaals> trackbot, start meeting
<trackbot> Date: 03 October 2013
<chaals> scribe: Suzanne
<chaals> scribeNick: st
Chaals: call for consensus on tests had very low turnout
<MarkS> Longdesc testing WBS
Chaals: appear that we have
tests, though
... we need people who are able to run api tests
<chaals> ACTION: marks to test longdesc in APIs [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-html-a11y-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-200 - Test longdesc in apis [on Mark Sadecki - due 2013-10-10].
chaals: implementing long desc shouldn't be too diffult on brower side; validation seems okay - there are validators like that
MarkS: should we extend the survey
chaals: not sure if it would help
JF: the tests look complete
chaals: Even big groups like
webapps might only get 2-3 people to really focus on viewing
the tests
... it is very useful to have people look over and reply on
even just some of the tests
JF: will take a look; 60-70% through already
<inserted> [Steve F documented how different browsers handle longdesc in accessibilty APIs]
chaals: we have a wiki page with the comments that came in
<MarkS> Longdesc comments wiki page
chaals: we will go through a call
for consensus process on each comment and if we agree with
each, we will provide that as a comment and see how it goes;
feel free to edit the wiki or write to the list
... in connection with any comment
... has anyone taken a look
MarkS: took a look and made some edits; may need to edits to soften the language
chaals: a couple editorial
changes
... replies will need to be on email or on survey, not in a
teleconference
... changed term "natural days" to "consecutive days"
Paul: why does the Task Force need a meeting to kick off a question?
Chaals: We don't. PF wanted to be
sure that a topic when open could be discussed in a
teleconference
... 3 working days minimum and 7 consecutive days were
mentioned
<chaals> text of new proposal
Paul: the three working days would have to include a Thursday in order to allow the teleconference
Chaals: this policy doesn't use the teleconference to make the decision, just should be possible to get questions answered in a teleconference during the period
Cynthia: PF relies on teleconference and HTML doesn't work that way, this is some compromise
JB: the intent was not emulate
either, but to tailor to the needs of this taskforce
... taskforce needs to be able to set up it's own working
processes, but is subject to the processes of the working
groups, when the specs come up for publication there
MarkS: I don't interpret this as requiring a CFC to eclipse a Thursday. The only must requirement is that it is 3 days long. It's true that we often discuss a topic on a call, or even announce the CFC there, but its not a requirement.
Paul: there are enough changes here, we'll have to re-run the CFC
chaals: further business? subteam reports?
PaulC: will the TF review the last call of MSE, which closes Oct 17
chaals: will take action to ensure it is placed on a future agenda
(seems to be concern there is little time)
<MarkS> https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/media-source/media-source.html
Paul: Media Streaming Extensions - output from the media task force - will probably go to CR quickly - we should look at it for sure
chaals: let's close call and spend next 30 minutes to do longdesc tests, review MSE, or other useful tasks
JB: we should get volunteers to do this
<MarkS> ACTION: Mark to look at MSE Spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-html-a11y-minutes.html#action02]
chaals: unclear that we'll have anyone look. janina had expressed concerns
<chaals> ACTION: chaals to look for review of MSE in the TF [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-html-a11y-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-201 - Look for review of mse in the tf [on Charles McCathie Nevile - due 2013-10-10].
<MarkS> ACTION: msadecki to look at MSE Spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-html-a11y-minutes.html#action04]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-202 - Look at mse spec [on Mark Sadecki - due 2013-10-10].
david: does anyone have info on what janina's concern was?
PC: can ping janina or search previous minutes
JF: looked at MSE on a high
level, and didn't see concerns
... might be good for a11y
chaals: generally still a need for more review for this if anyone is available
<paulc> Thanks and bye
<chaals> [thankst Suzanne for scribing]
