longdesc Testing

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]

longdesc comment processing

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

Consensus Procedures

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]
