Zoom Enhancement for Transcripts Available

jgw: Began discussing last week; expectation we should participate

<joconnor> JS: Are we too late for proposals?

<joconnor> JW: Feb 8th was deadline..

<joconnor> JW: What should we do?

<Judy> JB: Might as well try to get a proposal in...

<joconnor> JS: We have two interesting applications here..

<joconnor> Daltonization - and the user agent control of flashing.

<joconnor> We have discussed this is a little on APA planning call

<joconnor> There are others, that we could move into user agent responsibility.

<joconnor> Putting the load on the user agent and not the author.

<joconnor> Michael outlined something sensible with the FAST

<joconnor> We can do a gap analysis a la FAST on this

<joconnor> User agents can support some user needs here.

<joconnor> JB: Is flash mitigation a colour issue?

<joconnor> Daltonization is..

<joconnor> JB: There are computizational aspects here that can be mediated..

<joconnor> The flash issue may be more complex

<joconnor> JS: Especially in Real Time Comms.

<joconnor> JB: It can be done live- I've seen it. Nice work by Boris Katz and Andrei Barbu at MIT CSAIL on use of a sandbox approach for flash mitigation

<joconnor> JW: This should be go via APA process

<joconnor> JS: We dont have members with these specific low vision or colour related chops. Scott?

<joconnor> JS: We may bring this up to WAI-CC etc

<joconnor> <discusses liason with other groups and spec review etc>

<joconnor> JB: Bring that up today?

<joconnor> JS: Will do.

<joconnor> JS: Yup, this is an APA thing due to spec review needs.

jo: Suggests pinging Alastair for color issues; also contrast

<joconnor> JOC: Alistair Campelll could be worth talking to about this.

<joconnor> JB: I'd also be interested in talking about this..

jb: Also interested

<joconnor> JOC: I'll ping Alistair to see if he is interested
