"Pre-TPAC - timeline/priorities." taken up [from Joshue108] 15:30:00 q? 15:31:31 JF: I don't mind social media being used for social stuff, but don't want a requirement for it. When we look for a wider public comment we should socialise it every way we can. 15:31:37 JOC: Some main things to do pre-TPAC are (my 2 cents) work on the new Charter, finalise new SC numbering system, mechanism for wider review. 15:31:54 me np 15:32:34 JF: At what point do we want to send things out to public review? If done SC by SC, might generate a lot of chatter. Would prefer a smaller group method first, then shared more widely. 15:32:51 Q+ 15:32:56 Joshue108: Question then about getting the right people are included. 15:33:08 q+ 15:33:16 +1 to JF and Jeanne 15:33:21 q+ to note FPWD not until next year sometime 15:33:30 q+ to note we already operate in public 15:33:41 Jeanne: If we dribble things out publicly in small doses, will be difficult, should follow the W3C processes. 15:33:47 q+ to say we may want a coherent draft rather than dribbles 15:33:50 ack JF 15:34:21 q+ to say but we should still be receptive to feedback that comes in bits and pieces 15:34:46 q+ to invite people with input to join the process 15:34:50 ack me 15:34:50 MichaelC, you wanted to note FPWD not until next year sometime and to note we already operate in public and to say we may want a coherent draft rather than dribbles and to say but 15:34:51 ack mich 15:34:54 ... we should still be receptive to feedback that comes in bits and pieces and to invite people with input to join the process 15:34:58 JF: We have experience from the last 9 months, where minor issues have dragged out on github/twitter. Takes a lot of energy. Like working in public, but should prioritise energy with people who work on it. 15:35:43 MichaelC: Don't have charter auth to publish this year, probably better for us to have proposed delta of 2.0 to 2.1 , rather than dribbles. 15:35:51 Q+ 15:36:37 MichaelC: Anyone watching us can do so and make suggestions. As JF said, people who aren't involved enough miss context and can throw the discussion off. 15:36:59 ack jf 15:37:10 Joshue108: That's why institutional memory discussions are important. 15:37:42 JF: Underscore: don't want to use social media when we get to that point, need a focused discussion in one place. 15:38:01 JF: Github pinging back to the email list is ok, but rather not have a different channel. 15:38:33 JF: Need to be able to go back and look things up from years ago. Social media channels are lousy for that. 15:38:37 q+ 15:38:47 ack me 15:38:59 Q? 15:39:04 q+ 15:39:58 Joshue108: When we start to work on a particular tool, e.g. the older ones, we try the shiny new thing, then get swamped by it. Unless there is a resolution early, the threads can get out of control. It's a wider issue in how we manage it. 15:40:20 ack laura 15:40:24 Joshue108: But, we do need to work with people from where ever they come from. 15:40:34 https://github.com/w3c/low-vision-SC/issues 15:40:40 q+ 15:40:43 Laura: LVTF is using github to manage issues. 15:40:52 q+ to say I don´t consider github ¨social media¨ it´s ¨issue tracker¨ 15:41:15 q+ to say strategic use of social media probably better than wonton use 15:41:17 Laura: publishing likely to be Nov/Dec for LVTF. 15:41:29 ack michael 15:41:29 MichaelC, you wanted to say I don´t consider github ¨social media¨ it´s ¨issue tracker¨ and to say strategic use of social media probably better than wonton use 15:41:44 Q+ 15:42:02 rrsagent, make minutes 15:42:02 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/06/28-wai-wcag-minutes.html jamesn 15:42:39 MichaelC: I'd say github is an issue tracker rather than social media per-se. It isn't setup to email the list, people can subscribe to specific issues. We should make strategic use rather than "wanton" use. 15:43:01 Jim said Nov-Dec for LVTF: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-low-vision-a11y-tf/2016Jun/0038.html 15:43:24 MichaelC: There are stages where it makes sense to blog/tweet, but too much will make it more difficult for us. 15:44:39 davidmacdonald: A soft approach, there are particular times when it is appropriate. 15:44:43 q? 15:44:46 ack jf 15:44:46 Joshue108: When discussions get heated, try not to bring in lots of people who haven't been part of the discussion. 15:44:57 zakim, agenda? 15:44:57 I see 4 items remaining on the agenda: 15:44:58 2.

WCAG codename Survey (from last week : [from Joshue108] 15:45:21 JF: At some point we need to think about the platform where the work is being merged? 15:46:04 MichaelC: Github will be where it lives, but wiki scratch space could let us hash things out. There will be an authoritative version, and an exploritory version. 15:46:25 JF: I'm a member of 4/5 working groups, so try to constrain the deluge of info. 15:46:38 q? 15:47:28 Zakim, next item 15:47:28 agendum 3.

I'm planning to setup a WCAG 2.1 in github in the next few weeks. Just a version change to start with, but that's where it will go. Also have to convert the sources from XML to HTML, for reasons. 15:50:47 ack jf 15:50:51 MichaelC: People will be able to add techniques in HTML, rather than XML. 15:51:51 JF: Is that timeline quick? That's two years from now, that's quite long. Is there a way to tighten it? It's a 2.1 extension, could be a 2.2, tech changes quickly, are we still going to be chasing the bus? 15:52:11 MichaelC: This is quick in W3C time, a lot of it is minimum times for various review stages. 15:52:46 q+ 15:53:06 MichaelC: I hear your concerns, but as you've said, we do need to take the time to do it fast. This is a minimum reasonable timeline. If we went faster, we won't refuse to publish ahead of time, but need to be realistic given other pressures. 15:53:09 ack me 15:54:01 Joshue108: I've been chair for 3 years, it's gone amazingly quickly. If we came out with SC right now, there's a lengthy review process with various parties, and re-review cycles. 15:54:28 Joshue108: If we can get it out earlier, great, but on past experience it takes time. 15:54:43 q? 15:55:22 MichaelC: We'll welcome help keeping the timeline short, but it does mean we need to avoid lengthy discussions on small things. 15:55:23 +1 to limiting debate 15:56:08 Joshue108: 2.1 makes it seem small, but this is going to be a big deal. 15:57:06 JF: My concern is frequency, in the agile world they do small sprints and keep things small. We're trying to be more waterfall. We could publish 4 of 6 SCs that are not controversial, but if we have to wait for the other 2. 15:57:45 MichaelC: We're mainly planning to focus on 2.1 followed by 3.0. Could do 2.2, but our work is used by different audience than browsers. 15:57:54 +1 to MC 15:57:55 zakim, agenda? 15:57:55 I see 3 items remaining on the agenda: 15:57:56 3.

Want to have a good idea (or decided) by TPAC. 15:59:45 JF: I think that some of the discussions have helped coalesce the ideas. Talk about ordering, slotting them in after the AAAs would be odd. 16:00:33 JF: Checked with toolmakers, internal and external. Neither thought it would be a problem, especially as we filter SCs. 16:00:38 q? 16:01:05 q+ 16:01:51 DavidMacDonald: We are in agreement! Eric (who did the quickref tool) agrees. Summary: Stick to the 3 number scheme, unless something is a sub-SC under another one. 16:02:07 q+ 16:02:28 q+ to say only JF and David have had a chance to contribute to the wiki yet; I have additional ideas; we need to get a bunch of proposals with pros / cons before trying to settle on one 16:02:44 Q+ 16:02:51 DavidMacDonald: Put them at the end of the current guidelines. Three of the existing only have single A SCs. There are a few guidelines where it is a little sticky, but looking at the whole thing, put them at the end. When presenting to the public, we can change how that works. 16:03:24 DavidMacDonald: That should guard the integrity, the other options give a different class (secondary?) class for the new SCs. 16:03:39 ack josh 16:03:53 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/WCAG_2.1_SC_Numbering 16:05:01 JF: The biggest concern I've heard is that under 2.0, they are pre-stacked as A/AA/AAA. If we randomly insert AA /AAAs it will be confusing. 16:05:52 JF: The tools allow filtering. Our clients don't care about the numbering, we put them into bug tracking tools. 16:06:12 JF: Main thing is we just add to the bottom [of each guideline], doesn't matter about the level. 16:06:33 JF: For changes in level, we just change it, don't need to change the number. 16:06:43 +1 to just changig the severity level of existing SC moving levels 16:06:53 +1 16:07:10 +1 to change the severity and add to the end. Don't change existing numbers. 16:07:32 JF: For sub-requirements, 1.3 & 1.1 we already break those out for our testing methodology. E.g. multiple types of images. 16:07:44 ack michae 16:07:44 MichaelC, you wanted to say only JF and David have had a chance to contribute to the wiki yet; I have additional ideas; we need to get a bunch of proposals with pros / cons before 16:07:48 ... trying to settle on one 16:08:43 MichaelC: Feels like we're rushing into it, I have a few ideas for proposals before we settle on one. Biggest problem is that we grouped by conformance without representing it the numbering scheme. There are others we should put on the table. 16:09:11 JF: I thought the numbering scheme would be an issue, but didn't seem to be. 16:09:33 MichaelC: I'd like to add some ideas to the wiki. 16:09:39 JF: Can we establish some dates? 16:10:09 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/WCAG_2.1_SC_Numbering 16:10:37 Joshue108: Suggest you guys put a proposal in the wiki, as can MichealC. Then get some agreement from the "succcess criteria numbering TF" to put to the group. 16:10:38 q? 16:10:41 q+ to say we may need to ask the world about the impact of numbering 16:11:08 ack jf 16:11:12 DavidMacDonald: Would like to see the other ideas, I'm possibly getting settled on an idea early. 16:11:15 ack michae 16:11:15 MichaelC, you wanted to say we may need to ask the world about the impact of numbering 16:11:16 I would like to see MC ideas too - I kniw he has been looking at this for yeears 16:11:18 q+ to say pros cons important 16:11:20 ack me 16:11:20 MichaelC, you wanted to say pros cons important 16:11:50 q+ 16:12:00 q+ 16:12:43 Q+ to ask about the statement "we haven't asked the world about Wcag 2.1" 16:12:54 MichaelC: Even before we start putting SCs out for review, this is a question we want to ask the world, does the numbering matter? Some of us are very close to it. We are assuming we should do a 2.1, but we haven't had feedback from the world about it. Does it create issues for people used to WCAG 2.0? Te important part of the wiki is the pros and cons. Need a complete view of the pros/cons. 16:12:55 ack me 16:13:21 ack ryla 16:13:36 q+ 16:14:43 Ryladog: I think the numbering scheme for 3.0 it's all on the table. For 2.1 it should fit with 2.0. We have some ideas on numbering, but the SC review should probably be number-less. 16:14:46 +1 16:14:52 ack me 16:15:18 q+ to say numbering is less important than substance, but we can´t escape it, it´s one of those W3Cish things that make things take a while 16:15:20 +1 to katie and SC review being number-less. 16:15:20 q+ 16:15:49 Joshue108: Primarily there will be a concern with the levels rather than the numbering. 16:15:51 ack jf 16:15:51 JF, you wanted to ask about the statement "we haven't asked the world about Wcag 2.1" 16:15:51 q+ to say agree we should review without worrying about number, though we´ll need the number later 16:16:50 JF: We haven't asked the world about WCAG 2.1? The working group was chartered for the extensions, so that was approved, then the group came to 2.1 as the implementation of the extensions. 16:17:21 q? 16:17:55 How and Where do we do that MC? 16:17:56 MichaelC: This isn't a W3C process thing per-se, but meant the wider world in terms of abandoning extentions in favour of 2.1. When published, the world might then inundate us with feedback. 16:18:10 JF: If it's that serious, should we do that now? 16:18:41 q+ to comment on problem statements of numbering 16:18:45 MichaelC: We're working on it. Not implying the WG hasn't done something, it's something we (W3C+chairs) need to do. 16:18:45 ack me 16:18:45 MichaelC, you wanted to say numbering is less important than substance, but we can´t escape it, it´s one of those W3Cish things that make things take a while and to say agree we 16:18:48 ... should review without worrying about number, though we´ll need the number later 16:19:48 MichaelC: numbering is less important than substance, but we can't escape it, it's one of those W3Cish things that make things take a while. In WCAG 2.0 the numbers changed in the drafts as they were generated by position. It's only because they got frozen on publishing that they can't change. 16:20:24 q? 16:20:37 MichaelC: Could change the numbering (possibly), but obviously that proposal would have definate cons. 16:20:55 zakim, close queue 16:20:56 ok, Joshue108, the speaker queue is closed 16:21:36 JF: Agree, but need to put out the call for opinions now, or we don't do it. Similar to the discussion about social media earlier. 16:21:48 kirkwood has joined #wai-wcag 16:22:06 MichaelC: Planning on public review phase, not yet though. 16:22:08 ack david 16:22:26 ack ste 16:22:26 steverep, you wanted to comment on problem statements of numbering 16:23:27 Ryladog_ has joined #wai-wcag 16:23:35 steverep: problem statement about numbering - the substance is more important, but the problem of adding to the end is the lack of logical A/AA/AAA ordering. The doc could become more inaccessible itself, e.g. for screen reader users jumping around, or for cog-impaired. 16:23:50 steverep: What is the problem statement for changing the numbering? 16:24:02 The issue becomes, do we rank by number or by severity? 16:24:18 Q+ 16:25:06 q+ 16:25:15 q? 16:25:18 +1 to thinking about a db perspective 16:25:24 zakim,agenda? 16:25:24 I see 2 items remaining on the agenda: 16:25:25 4.

WCAG codename Survey (from last week : [from Joshue108] 16:25:33 q+ 16:25:38 davadmacdonald: If we slot in a new SC, and move everything down one, all the SCs would change under that. If you add an 'a' at the end (e.g. 3.2.2a) it looks like a sub-section. Should think of them as DB. If you have a DB and remove one, it's bad as the 'id' changes. 16:25:56 davadmacdonald: easier to change the view in other places like the quick ref. 16:26:51 JF: Analogy of DB is interesting, the ID isn't used in many places. Might be issue when consuming a whole document, but that isn't as common. 16:27:29 steverep: Understand it could be considered a DB, but it is also a webpage people can read, so it should have a logical order. 16:27:36 Note that the SC all have IDs that are different from there numbers. They also have ¨handles¨ that aren´t numbers and wouldn´t be impacted. Maybe the numbers aren´t as critical? 16:28:13 steverep: Concern seems to be the number changes so can't reference it, but as a new person to the WG I get confused very quickly when people refer to numbers only. 16:29:06 MichaelC: The 'handles' wouldn't change in 2.1, could use those more.
