JT: What about assignments?
HS, MK: Expected them to be put on minutes.
JT: CMN has personal commitments.
WL: Commenting on style issues. Example: using em
element with
CLASS
to make different kinds of EM
. Ensure
CLASS
es are exposed. Lots of WCAG discussion.
MK: Just use XML. Esnure CLASS
names are meaningful.
JT: CLASS
can be used to denote categorization.
WL: Vast majority of people do not understnad separation of content from presentation. Wrote a little piece to explain.
JT: Do you have an evaluation test?
WL: Yes its in the records. Additional comment: possible to make MyPic in XML without ALT.
JT: Does JR have comment?
JR: Blah, blah
JT: How do people like the approach?
ALL: Yes
JT: Likes the division into Priorities. Might make sense to have different kinds of tools besides markup editor/image editor
MK: Maybe add image map
Action JR: Add image map
WL: Do we have a comprehensive list of authoring tool functionailites.
JT: No, we have some stuff in intro, etc. Fred?
FB: Tool just needs to be able to use CSS for formating. Nest lists properly and not use tables.
WL: What about plain and simple language. If tool has built in FOG index etc. it should have a higher rating.
JT: Then a question to the evaluator should be asked.
Action WL: Do the questions for text.
JT: CMN's form controls. We like P1,P2,P3, Like pass fail, Like approach of rorganizng be elements, like filtering by different types of tools.
JT: More volunteers:
MM: Working on multimedia.
Action MK: Will take lists
Action HS: Save as HTML functionality questions.
