We've always had a W3C track - about things that are new or 16:13:17 relevant - so there will be a digital publishing session. I'm trying to talk to some people to get that there.

We want everyone's feedback. We're doing wordsmithing and a few more action items to do but the bulk of the note is now in place. Really this is a note towards the W3C on what is important from the Digital Publishing's Perspective about what is missing in WCAG. 16:27:12 That's the premise about the editors draft note. We're not exactly sure when this is going to be completely publishes but we're looking to everyone here to make sure it makes sense." 16:27:51 q? 16:29:07 ...: "That it's organized correctly. Some of the topic headings - Navigation, skipabbility, escapability, page numbers, pagination, proper nouns, best practices... Future work which we may pick up as the accessibility team has done. In the future work: layout, influencing on comprehension - such as comic strips, annotations - noting there is a working group, Notes - like footnotes, asides, 16:29:07 positional locations, identifying speakers, assessments - linking out to which groups are linking out to this field." 16:29:37 ...: "Then we get into the GAP analysis of WCAG - this is currently a work-in-process. We've created a googledoc of techniques that we'll move over to a wiki page." 16:30:49 q+ 16:31:22 Deborah: "That's the details - the elevator pitch of this document - is that the meat of the document is that when we went through the exisitng W3C documents and looked at things that digital publishing said is important - we found a set of 8 items that can be addressed by existing W3C and WAI groups. We can say that 'we would like a particular thing to be included'. We have precise things we 16:31:22 need to ask - but we know specifically what to ask for. The future work section is more 'someone is working on it and we want to follow it' or 'this is going to require more work' and we really need to think about it." 16:31:39 q+ 16:32:11 ...: "If you notice the action item is 'ljsadfla anfelfkjaewf we don't know' then... If you DO know the solution concretely then we do want to know about it. There's more work to be done and more gaps. Some usecases that aren't clarified here. This is something that is a first pass at communication." 16:32:39 Tzviya: "The particular item that DPUB wanted was a list of priorities - especially when it comes to the future items." 16:32:51 Deborah: "Secion 2 is the main part and we've ordered them in priority." 16:33:00 ack iv 16:33:05 Tzviya: "That's one part of feedback that is welcomed from all - if you agree with these priorities." 16:33:19 s/future items/not currently addressed 16:33:21 Ivan: "My question is on practicalities. Have you shown this draft already to some of the people in the relevant WAI groups?" 16:33:34 Deborah: "Conversations have been had, but this document has not been shown to them at this time." 16:33:41 Ivan: "Ok, please show them." 16:33:46 ack mg 16:33:47 Tzviya: "Yes, I'm connecting them" 16:34:53 markus: "Logical reading order - do you have that - as far as I can tell in 8.1. Although it kind of discusses another problem - conveying layout information. There is the core problem with reading order. Since CSS may make things look differnet than the way they are meant to be read. Are you addressing that issue? Where are you with that? Is WCAG providing enough guidance?" 16:35:19 Deborah: "Our reading of WCAG is very straight forward about what you're supposed to be doing - although how it's actually used isn't always the recommended way." 16:35:45 q? 16:35:49 Markus: "Where is WCAG 2 proper do we get guidance for logical reading order where we may have disharmony between display order and DOM order." 16:36:25 Tzviya: "It's there, but it needs to be understandable - it's very broad." 16:36:35 Deborah: "2.4.3 - ...." 16:37:04 https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms.html 16:37:49 Deborah: "It's listed in the techniques" 16:38:15 https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/C27 16:38:41 Markus: "Other question I had: When I saw 2.8 dropcap - the question arose whether that is one needles in a larger haystack with CSS issues. For example - one question I would have, does WCAG tell authors what to do with generated CSS content." 16:38:48 ...: "That's potentially huge" 16:38:56 I think it is a gap, yes 16:38:57 Deborah: "That's a huge gap" 16:39:17 Tzviya: "The ARIA list has just noted that this IS a gap - and sadly one solution is to say don't use generated content." 16:39:18 q+ 16:39:42 Markus: "Or keep 2.8 and add dropcap as an example - and generated content as an example" 16:40:15 ack Ni 16:40:19 Tzviya: "In paginated content, it is a big problem as there's generated content there as well.

The opportunity at the IDPF meeting is to get input from a new set of people." 16:47:48 ...: "In terms of what happens when we publish this - what do we know about WCAG and UAG and all those specs in terms of - are they in a state where this could be incorporated somehow?" 16:48:00 Deborah: "short answer, no...." 16:48:24 Tzviya: "WCAG just released guidlines as to how to write an extension...

To a certain extent we want to reach out to WAI. It's not exactly our call to figure out WHO - but we know what things DPUB needs, so we want to reach out to WAI and have them help us turn those into specific discussions with specific groups. WCAG is great because we can make an extension but the other groups are more in flux." 16:49:59 Charles: "With this new WCAG extensions - can an interest group write an extension, or only a working group?" 16:50:04 https://www.w3.org/blog/2015/10/work-begins-on-extensions-to-wcag-2-0/ 16:50:24 Ivan: "It may be - as with ARIA work - the interest group does all the work, but the working group gets all the credit... We may be in the same situation..." 16:50:59 Ivan: "The WCAG contact has left the W3C, so there may be a callout for hiring someone." 16:51:23 q- 16:51:43 Ivan: "I think at the moment, contacting actively the two staff persons who are active, makes alot of sense. Contacting co-chairs means thats making a choice among various groups and we don't really want to do that.

Dave, do you hve what we need, do you need anything further?" 16:55:03 Dave: "there are two aspects to this - in the short term we have the priority to work on the decimal alignment. I have some samples of that for the CSS working group. I think we're OK there in the short term. The longer term issue is 'ok now we have all these tables, can we make them with open-web technologies' which is a huge question and I don't know where to begin with that one." 16:55:21 oh my... 16:55:22 Tzviya: "Not sure these were passed around to the whole list.
