MH: attending CSUN next week
... will report back interesting aspects
... CSUN not typically research-oriented
... but there may be interesting stuff anyway
<mhakkinen> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/47076/RDWG-170215/results
<sloandr> Agreed on CSUN—there seems to be a conscious effort to attract more academic research contributions
SAZ: could also have others share observations they make at other conferences

<sloandr> Sorry, I thought I'd completed this one! I'll fill it in before next call
MH: no new results
SAZ: were people notified?
MH: in the agenda
VC: also reminder went out
AN: said March 10th
MH: looking at survey results
... not sure what the research question is around HTML5 support
SAZ: can imagine questions around technology evolution
VC: could check with Silvia
MH: also around browser compatibility
... have been looking at web components
... and the role of polyfills
VC: like the idea of biometrics
MH: keep separate or part of security?
SAZ: hard to slice things that are not slicable
VC: could be part of security
YM: could be part
... to reduce number of topics
... but maybe have sub-topics
... with headers of broad topics
AN: agree with Yehya that we have lots topics
... but think that the two topics seem separate
... confused about the research catalog
<annika> https://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Catalogue_Topics ?
http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/process.html#topics
DS: think should organize according to research
topix
... to relate to user task and what they are trying to do
MH: thinking could organize in-line with W3C domain or principles
YM: some headings have keywords in parenthesis
... suggest adding this consistently
... helps to understand the meaning
... some clear but some are ambiguous
<mhakkinen> http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Tips_for_Accessibility-Aware_Research
DS: charter deliverable, started in september
2013
... share collected knowledge to help make researchers aware of their
potential contributions
... so far just a skeleton of the document
... address both research with little knowledge of accessibility
... to introduce the models, APIs, and other aspects
... helps orient themselves and find where they can most contribute
... also information on how to include diversity
... and a section on how to involve people with disabilities in research
... also on reporting findings in an inclusive way
... secondary audience is people who support research
... for example for funders to reference for project grants
... need to agree on ths outline or refine it
SAZ: think this is really great
... but lots in there
... thinking of managing scope
... maybe also working with other groups
... leveraging existing resources
... could be an entire book!
DS: completely agree
... use resources where they exist
... but put them in a way that helps people new to accessibility
MH: look back at this in one month?
VC: what kind of input would you want from the group?
DS: what kinds of things new researchers are
looking for
... like the discussion we had at W4A in Seoul
VC: good idea
... maybe also ask for additional references
DS: yes - and everybody can comment on this document
SAZ: agree with the suggestion
... maybe also get the group to re-review the outline
... to remind themselves
NEXT MEETING: 11 March 2015
