Topic: Retrofitting
13:10:40 [mcmullin]
Hi shawn - finally back in the real world...
13:12:42 [Wayne]
Judy: Introduced the Retrofitting Document and identifed basic isues
13:14:21 [Wayne]
Shadi: We need to do scoping and identify the audience. Where does this fit in the EO documents. Higher leve approach: what to consider; Should we target developers?
13:15:39 [Wayne]
Judy: Look at the requirements section, do we have the audience?
13:16:35 [Wayne]
Jack: The audiences are correct, but the title doesn't match
13:16:58 [Wayne]
Henk and Andrew: Agree
13:17:25 [shawn]
suggestion: Developing a Plan to Retrofit...
13:18:00 [shawn]
aa: title implies that we're going to be told how to do it, rather than things to think about when we need to do it
13:19:38 [Wayne]
Shadi: If we go down the direction for "Developing a Plan for Retrofitting". Where would we fit it.
13:19:51 [Justin]
I agree...by repeating everyone will get the message.
13:20:20 [Wayne]
Andrew: Repeating information may anoy a few users, but will ensure that it can be found.
13:20:56 [Wayne]
Andrew: There is little overlapping.
13:21:59 [Wayne]
Judy: the draft will change so we should be asking about what do we need that fills gaps in existing documents?
13:22:37 [Zakim]
shawn, listening for 11 seconds I heard sound from the following: Judy (90%), ??P4 (17%)
13:23:19 [Wayne]
Judy: Is planning enough; do we need to say how to? That is a controvercial question.
13:24:17 [Wayne]
Andrew: Address the complaint "where do we start", "are some check points more important", people need a guide through the path.
13:25:23 [Wayne]
Jack: That is in line with concerns at Boeing. We have a lot of pages, but willingness is overwhelmed by the size of the task. People need to know what to do, details...
13:26:18 [Wayne]
Genreal agreement with Andrew and Jack's comments.
13:27:29 [Wayne]
Judy: Formalize "Now what do we do" to "Next Steps"
13:29:09 [Justin]
zakim, please unmute me
13:29:09 [Zakim]
Justin should no longer be muted
13:29:47 [achuter]
Suggestion: the road ahead; towards an accessible web site; the way forward...
13:29:56 [Wayne]
Carol: Has done this and the steps were similar but not so formal.

13:35:27 [Wayne]
JB: "audience" discussion - primary/secondary
13:36:34 [Wayne]
Barry: Q - not clear from change log, waht is the definitive diferfence between this doc and others?
13:37:39 [Wayne]
JB: v.different from Implementation Planning - it was much broader, this could be much more focussed on a particular step
13:39:14 [Wayne]
JB: 'policies' section could be dropeed as covevred in detail, but overall should be sharper for retrofitting
13:39:39 [Wayne]
Barry: if it is going to get "down and dirty" then audience should be flipped
13:40:38 [Zakim]
+Henk.a
13:40:46 [Wayne]
Shadi: doc is somewhere inbetween Implementation Planning and "how to fix code"
13:41:12 [Wayne]
Shadi: a collection of strategies and steps on how to tackle the task
13:42:38 [Wayne]
Shadi: JT: managers make the decisions - what/how much effort/what do we want to acomplish
13:43:18 [Helle]
zakim, please unmute me
13:43:18 [Zakim]
Helle_Bjarno should no longer be muted
13:43:23 [Wayne]
AA: agrees with JT
13:43:56 [Wayne]
Helle: agree that we need to approach the higher level initially
13:44:16 [Wayne]
Shadi: how high a level?
13:44:50 [Wayne]
Helle: important to target the funders and decision makers rather than the coders
13:45:54 [Wayne]
Helle: Q - when would you read this? After an eveluation tells you there is a problem with your site?
13:46:28 [shawn]
q+ to suggest adding to requirements when we expect people to read this document (like Helle just said)
13:46:29 [Wayne]
JB: certainly this is one scenario - how to orient yourself after an evaluation has been conducted, or complaints made
13:47:32 [Wayne]
Pasquale: this should be for decision makers. We have an implementaio planning suite for when we start to develop a web site - this is for an existing site that needs fixing
13:48:13 [Wayne]
Pasquale: can re just call it "accessibility updates"
13:48:33 [Wayne]
Henk: what about "upgrading your web site for accessibility"
13:49:04 [shawn]
q+ to say yes with redesign!
13:49:27 [Helle]
zakim, please mute me
13:49:27 [Zakim]
Helle_Bjarno should now be muted
13:49:50 [Wayne]
JB: gets phone calls caknowledging they have accessibility problems, but wanting guidance on where to start
13:50:55 [shawn]
ack me
13:50:55 [Zakim]
shawn, you wanted to suggest adding to requirements when we expect people to read this document (like Helle just said) and to say yes with redesign!
13:51:26 [Wayne]
SLH: documents more discioverable with site redesign - definitely
13:51:45 [Helle]
zakim, please unmute me
13:51:45 [Zakim]
Helle_Bjarno should no longer be muted
13:52:07 [Wayne]
SLH: discussion is helpful - expand requirements to say when we expect people to use the document
13:53:23 [Wayne]
Helle: what about adding in some FAQs - we all get these type of questions
13:54:11 [Wayne]
JB: FAQ idea - can we explore? What are some of the questions?
13:55:18 [Wayne]
Henk: they do not ask is what is the code solution - trust their developers to do this - want guidance on where to start & right procedure
13:55:50 [Wayne]
Henk: not which part to start with, but more about procedure
13:56:26 [Wayne]
Helle: more concrete - what is the most important thing to do - eg title VS alt attributes
13:58:23 [Wayne]
XX: are there a few things that would have a big impact
13:58:37 [shadi]
s/XX/SAZ
13:59:59 [shawn]
Q?
14:00:00 [Wayne]
AA: how to preioritise depends often on contwext as well as WCAG priority levels
14:00:25 [Wayne]
Shadi: and also on what can be done site-wide with the CMS
14:01:00 [Wayne]
Justin: get asked: how much will it affect the visual look of the page?
14:01:46 [Wayne]
general agreement
14:02:46 [Wayne]
Barry: Q - "how do we get MS Word to genrate accessibility HTML" - have to break the [bad] news gently
14:03:37 [Wayne]
Barry: also get - "we don't have an PWD using the site" - so suggest a dedicated feedback chanel to get feedback on specific barriers
14:03:51 [shawn]
good point
14:03:52 [Wayne]
AA: we also suggest this
14:04:37 [Wayne]
JB: yes - capture this for suggested process
14:05:27 [Wayne]
JB: tools - "selecting" has discussion on work-arounds, but without specific recomendations - should cross-ref this
14:06:06 [Wayne]
JB: should also link to Bus Case as motivator for feedback channel
14:06:44 [Wayne]
JB: look again at draft requirements (http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/retrofit/retrofitting-changelog.html)
14:06:52 [Justin]

14:07:16 [Wayne]
JB: any specific reactions to 'approach' section?
14:08:10 [Wayne]
JB: could we use the questions we have just brainstaormed as practical approach, ratehr than the role, etc approach
14:08:46 [Wayne]
AA: likes the practical appraoch sugegstion from Helle & JB
14:08:57 [Justin]
zakim, please mute me
14:08:57 [Zakim]
Justin should now be muted
14:09:10 [Wayne]
Pasqale: "practical" is the right approach
14:11:02 [Wayne]
Shadi: helpful discussion to guide re-write
14:11:29 [Wayne]
JB: audience clarity - needs more discussion?
14:12:03 [Wayne]
JB: sure - managers are important, but often develoeprs get handed the task
14:12:34 [Wayne]
SLH: large org VS small org (managers VS developers)
14:13:37 [Wayne]
SLH: if doc is how to decide what to do, then bottom line is that job title doesn't matter, it is what role you have
14:17:23 [Wayne]
AA: if you got caught out (by not building in from he start), then this is an approach to make some amends
14:18:37 [Wayne]
JB: any wrap up thoughts on audience?
14:19:27 [Justin]
sounds good
14:20:08 [Wayne]
Shadi: will bring revised descriptions back to EO
14:20:44 [Wayne]
JB: anything that jumps out from Shadi's draft (http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/retrofit/)?
14:21:33 [Wayne]
people seem hapy to wait until next time
14:22:12 [Wayne]
JB: comments on overlap with other docs?
14:22:51 [Wayne]
JB: should it be a side-step from "implementation plan"
14:23:18 [Wayne]
Henk: it is a specific subset of the "implementation plan"
14:23:40 [Wayne]
Pasquale: agrees with Henk - as do others
14:24:05 [Wayne]
Helle: also fits with "Evaluation Suite"?
14:24:16 [Wayne]
Henk: it is the next step/phase
14:26:43 [Wayne]
JB: will IA for new site accommodate these relationships?
14:27:17 [Wayne]
SLH: most probably - can draft for next meeting in site map
14:27:27 [Helle]
I have to quit regrets for next meeting June 3
