Longdesc Follow-up Conversation

js: fyi director's decision & response on longdesc came out last week
... interested in follow up
... any comments, questions, etc

jf: related discussions w/ wcag wg, to make sure guidance under wcag 2 is aligned
... also need to do so w/ doc on useful alts

js: nice segway to our next agenda item
... specifics?

jf: just want to make sure that all other documentation is in accordance

js: also wrt techniques, we also have the tutorials
... there is more now to point to

jb: there is a preliminary longdesc image example in the image tutorial but needs more complex image, imo, and ditto for the useful alts doc

js: similar comment to html wg, we're getting use cases and requ's from epub orgs, including other feature requests
... relates to aria describedat in current aria 1.1 spec
... intent to address some of the more advanced requirements for description including for educational testing
... where there may be heuristically definable differences in what type of extended description may get presented to users

Alt Note Status & Next Steps

js: so there is a dir's decision on ld and we can look at how to frame the advice on longdesc in the useful alts doc
... needs framing e.g. short vs. long, and @@
... alt is a replacement and you try to convey the intent
... but if the word count for alts go up a lot, it can get very annoying esp. when you revisit pages
... the alts are auto-read

dm: is 25 words long?

js: yes very
... there's a threshold of too much content when consumed on the fly

<LJWatson> s/The trick to not breaking the back button is not to break the sodding thing in the first place./ /

jb: are you going to file a bug?

<paulc> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26868

pc: there are ~7 bugs on the useful alts doc already
... and one of the bugs is about longdesc (link above)
... and so janina can go ahead and add her specific questions and comments there

<paulc> Editors announcement for text alternatives: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Nov/0017.html

pc: and here is the email to public admin appointing new editors
... and you have my apologies for the delay; tied up with TPAC and WG meeting

<JF> Congrats and thanks to Liam Quin and Shane McCarron

jb: and Paul also busy with release of HTML 5.0 final spec -- congratulations!
