sharper: What were the impressions of the organisers? What are the nexts steps?
Justin_Brown: The symposium went well. Phone
conntections were an issues.
... Consider to hold a "dress rehearsal" next time.
... Shadi provided the transcript. It will be put into accessible html.
... The next step is to start on the research report.
sharper: Do you have any inout on the guide for symposia on the wiki?
Justin_Brown: A step by step guide could be helpful. Currently the information is in many different pages.
<sharper> ACTION: Justin_Brown to update 'http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Step-by-Step_Guide_for_Symposium_Chairs/Editors' [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/01/15-rd-minutes.html#action01]
sharper: Are there further comments on the symposium?
shadi: It was a great symposium. Thanks to Silva
and Justin.
... People stayed for the whole 2.5 hours -- and returned after the break.
... One issue: the timeline was very short. We did not manage to get leaders
in the field of e-learning to participate.
... In the further, we need to think about strategies to get such people
involved in the symposiums (as contributors and/or audience).
... The coverage (geographical and by topic) was very good.
sharper: Yes, that should be added to the step-by-step guide. How to invite more experts in the field to contribute.
davidsloan: Agree with shadi.
... We could still approach people who did not participate in the symposium to
contribute to the research note.
... We need a list of people who should be involved.
sharper: Who do you have in mind?
Justin_Brown: There are a couple of people who
said they were too busy.
... The questions is how useful the input to the research note is going to
be?
klaus: There is not much to report. We are still
working on the finalisation. Plan is to finish next week.
... We want to make sure that all comments are addressed.
<sharper> ACTION: klaus to Easy to Read W3C Note Finalised [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/01/15-rd-minutes.html#action05]

sharper: I sent out a reminder about the survey
last week. There are four responses so far.
... There will be another reminder.
Vivienne: Is it possible to continued / update the survey answers?
shadi: yes, you can edit your responses and resubmit.
Vivienne: Ok, I started to work on the grammatical issues in the text. Will continue.
shadi: Thanks Vivienne. Your help is much appreciated.
sharper: yehya and cristos are not here. So we'll have to wait for further updates next week.
sharper: not done yet.
... Started talking to Judy Brewer.
... Any more input?
shadi: The WAI coordination group was suprised
about the idea of creating a flyer.
... It is very important for the RDWG.
... But there are also other ways of reaching out to researchers etc.
... May need to explain more before we go ahead.
sharper: What are the plans for the next symposia?
mhakkinen: I started updating the plans on the wiki.
sharper: any other issues?
davidsloan: The Paciello Group became a member of
W3C.
... There was a question about the involvement of the RDWG in the Cognitive
accessibility task force. Is anyone from the group involved?
<davidsloan> cognitive and learning disability task force: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/cognitive-a11y-tf/
shadi: This question should go to the WAI
coordination group.
... RDWG should make sure that the research notes on Easy-to-read and text
customization are use as input to the task force.
... There might also be topics for new symposia.
... The task force is working on a road map. We should try to start a
dialogue.
davidsloan: Agree that the research notes are important input.
shadi: RDWG should keep an eye on the task force.
sharper: good idea.
Vivienne: We wanted to do a survey about
(...)?
... When will this be send out?
sharper: After the end of the user modelling
survey.
... please, remember to complete the survey until the 18th.
