20:08:26 [Andi]
New internal draft published today
20:08:38 [Andi]
Suggestion to delete SC in 3.1
20:09:37 [Andi]
"meaning of contracted words can be programmatically determined" should be deleted because it is covered by the next SC
20:09:42 [sh1m]
Original proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004AprJun/0536.html
20:10:36 [Andi]
no discussion, no opposition to removing this SC
20:10:38 [andyjudson]
andyjudson has joined #wai-wcag
20:11:48 [Andi]
next agenda item - walk through the guidelines
20:15:12 [Andi]
may be able to remove some exceptions because they can be covered by "scoping"; i.e. Web site owners can exclude certain portions of Web site from conformance claim
20:15:45 [Andi]
1.1
20:16:07 [Andi]
Mike: has a proposal for re-wording that removes need for exception

andi - i don't think we're identifying candidates for removal, i think we are identifying candidates for further discussion during this call.
20:29:15 [Andi]
ok
20:30:14 [Andi]
correction to minutes - these items are not candidates for removal but candidates for further discussion wrt scoping
20:32:01 [Andi]
2.4 SC 2.2
20:33:11 [Andi]
2.4 SC 2.1 needs to be revisited - John thinks we decided last week that this is part of 1.3 and we removed it.
20:33:44 [Zakim]

20:36:39 [Andi]
2.5 SC 2.3
20:36:54 [Andi]
2.5 SC 3.1
20:38:33 [Andi]
goal is to simplify or eliminate because we have scoping
20:39:30 [sh1m]
So that scoping can be determined by legislators etc, rather than being a trait of the guidelines
20:39:31 [wendy]
zakim, mute katie

20:39:59 [Zakim]
wendy, listening for 11 seconds I heard sound from the following: Michael_Cooper (14%), Loretta_Guarino_Reid (4%), Gregg_and_Ben (85%)
20:41:47 [Andi]
3.1 SC 3.1 - some items in strategies may need to be discussed
20:44:09 [Andi]
4.1 SC 1.1
20:44:31 [Andi]
4.1 SC 3.1
20:45:28 [Andi]
4.1 SC 1.1 needs plain language re-write

q+
20:48:49 [Andi]
1.1 SC 1.1
20:49:31 [Andi]
Yvette: likes the fact that sometimes we do have some scoping discussion in the success criteria - makes it really clear
20:49:53 [Andi]
Yvette: if delete everything that can be handled by scoping, have a much less powerful document
20:50:52 [Andi]
Yvette: scoping is part of criteria. Can't do everything at Level 1 but there should be some basic accessibility
20:51:12 [Andi]
Yvette: scoping is good tool to distinguish between different levels of accessibility - shouldn't be too quick to cut it out
20:51:45 [Yvette_Hoitink]
ack Yvette
20:53:29 [Andi]
Mike: split content into different categories with specific requirements for alt text for that type of non-text content
20:54:25 [MichaelC]
q+ to say I like Mike's approach, although the guidelines are probably agnostic to the existence of "null" alt text - that's an HTML technique and I'm not sure what the guideline requirement would be for that concept
20:54:47 [Andi]
Categories: 1. non-text content having no bearing on meaning of content (there only for presentation)
20:55:14 [Andi]
2. non-text content that has iconic or functional use - alt text must detail the function of the the element
20:55:52 [Andi]
3. non-text resources that encode specific information in non-text form (chart, wav files, etc.)
20:56:57 [Andi]
4. non-text resources which encode no specific information (for example sensory experience)
20:58:12 [Andi]
4. alt text must explain what the resource is and what relevance it has to the content
20:58:12 [Yvette_Hoitink]
q+
20:59:34 [Andi]

Yvette_Hoitink, you wanted to say "example spelling test in scoping"

Wendy: need to understand how this applies to "content aggregators"

21:15:07 [wendy]
q+ to ask, "how does scoping apply to web services? or personalized pages that you don't know what the framework is?"
21:15:12 [Andi]
Tom: still not quite scoping because not saying everything on a spelling test should be exempt. Only those elements that are essential to spelling test function are excluded
21:16:56 [wendy]
ack mike
21:17:04 [Andi]
Tom: Scoping would exempt whole page but with spelling test only exempting certain elements on the page
21:17:40 [Andi]
Mike: 2 aggregation issues in Bugzilla.
21:18:06 [Andi]
Mike: Would like to treat anything aggregated into a page as part of page - issue is testing
21:18:06 [sh1m]
q+
21:18:39 [wendy]
need to make sure when exempt spelling test we don't accidentally exempt captcha
21:20:15 [Andi]
Gregg: restates Ben's comment - not just "spelling". could be anywhere in the guidelines where something is presented in a bad form for the purpose of correcting it.
21:20:27 [wendy]
ack wendy
21:20:27 [Zakim]
wendy, you wanted to ask, "how does scoping apply to web services? or personalized pages that you don't know what the framework is?"
21:21:00 [Andi]
Wendy: scoping by content type and "profiles"
21:21:10 [Andi]
don't want to accidentally exempt captcha
21:21:23 [Andi]
Wendy: how does this apply to web services?
21:22:03 [Andi]
Gregg: where user gets to pick what goes on their home page for example
21:22:30 [Andi]
Wendy: been discussing adding metadata to components. would help aggregators (both services and people)
21:22:45 [Andi]
Wendy: don't know if we can "require" metadata but it would make things a lot easier
21:22:55 [Yvette_Hoitink]
q+ to say "effective"
21:23:00 [Andi]
Wendy: metadata requirement would fall under guideline 4
21:23:15 [sh1m]
ack tom
21:24:08 [Andi]
Tom: agrees with Mike about aggregation. aggregated content should be responsibility of aggregator but source must also be responsible
21:25:06 [Andi]
Tom: still doesn't think "spelling test" example is scoping but thinks that demonstrations of bad things that need to be corrected can be scoping
21:25:44 [Andi]
John: ways of using metadata to describe examples of inaccessible content and could also use actual human readable text
21:26:08 [Andi]
John: there are specifications for accessible learning technologies which we ought to look at
21:26:13 [Andi]
Action John: look at these specs
21:26:29 [Andi]
Yvette: if we require metadata, SC will be less effective
21:26:42 [wendy]
action: john look at IMS specs for tests, metadata, etc.
