Judy: Please look at these carefully; look at wording;
13:01:55 [Wayne]
Bill: expand the acronym.
13:03:43 [Wayne]
Doyle: Headline doesn't seem to work. How does this work with other languages
13:04:54 [Wayne]
Andrew: Headlines should target the audience they want.
13:06:07 [Wayne]
Bill: Tied to "Got Milk" with "Got ATAG". Will this transfer internationally?

13:07:22 [Wayne]
Helle: Agrees that it is clear now.
13:10:15 [Wayne]
Shawn: Authorship listing has problems. It would personalize the page, but there are problems identifying all the authors.
13:11:36 [Wayne]
Bill: Finding your way is a key element rather than a news item. (It is a standing need.)
13:13:17 [shawn]
lol to finding your mojo :-)
13:15:06 [Wayne]
Someone pointed out that the play on words that equates "wai" with "way" doesn't work internationally. WAI is often pronouncet with a long I.
13:15:49 [Wayne]

topic: Retrofitting Web Sites for Accessibility
13:18:06 [Wayne]
Judy: What we want to focus on is the reorganization
13:19:41 [Wayne]
Shadi: Developers should be given strategies and tools to strategize and organize removing know barriers from their web site. conceptual comments, no formatting and wording.
13:20:25 [Wayne]
Judy: The nested bullets are not the final look;
13:21:03 [Wayne]
Judy: Organizational concepts, idea flow...

13:22:46 [Wayne]
Liam: Organizations are interested a plan, setting steps etc....
13:23:20 [Wayne]
Judy: The WAI implementation document addresses many of these issues.
13:24:04 [Wayne]
Shadi: Could Liam reflect on that thought a liitle more... would be interested...
13:24:59 [Harvey]
What url are we discussing?
13:25:09 [emmajane]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/retrofit/
13:25:12 [Wayne]
Liam: Information about other resources, process management, want answers to problems, have a site to retrofit.
13:26:08 [shadi]
q-
13:26:26 [Wayne]
Shadi: This issue was raised in previous
13:27:34 [Wayne]
William: Pays no heed to the barriers being social, not just technical, misses the disability rights focus.
13:29:12 [Wayne]
William: Explicit problem, the real barriers are not preceptible to many developers

zakim, mute me

Wayne should now be muted
13:34:30 [Wayne]
Shadi: This is not technical to the point markup; Perhaps we need the referencing.
13:35:36 [Wayne]
Henk: You must repair a site according to a report. You may not need awareness.
13:37:03 [Wayne]
Justin: You do need the some awareness information so that content managers don't add bad content.
13:38:05 [Wayne]
Judy: You need a mini-project planning for retro

13:40:50 [barry]
q+
13:43:46 [Wayne]
Judy: Would flipping the order work: Introduction, actualy retrofitting details, then how you got there and how to prefent it.
13:44:53 [Andrew]
Andrew concurs with the flipping idea - lets fix the emergency first, then look at preventing future problem
13:44:55 [Wayne]
Barry: Higer priority how do sort out the worst things, then how to prevent it? Triage concept.
13:47:41 [Wayne]
Shadi: Maybe the heading of section 2 "Fixing the Causes" is misleading. Many parts of the section are practical. Don't get caught in titles.
13:48:55 [Wayne]
William: Need triage on top.
13:50:01 [Wayne]
Shadi: Fire fighting seems more technical and less process oriented. It doesn't match the begining of the call.
13:50:34 [Wayne]
Shadi: When you say more practical, what do you mean?
13:51:03 [Wayne]
Judy: Can we brain storm on process steps?
13:51:30 [Wayne]
???: Estimating time and other costs of retrofitting
13:51:46 [Wayne]
Liam:
13:53:07 [Wayne]
Andrew: Who is involved; Go back to authors for example. Assigning responsibility
13:54:13 [Wayne]
William: User complaints; User has standing; Lawyers, Client,..
13:54:48 [Wayne]
Wayne: does William mean "role" rather than standing?
13:56:26 [Wayne]
Shadi: What is different about retrofitting from than other design issues?

topic: Before/After
14:06:07 [Wayne]
Judy: Lots of talk about Before/After retrofitting demonstrations; One example was placed before congress, but it was not stand alone.
14:07:08 [Wayne]
There were many requests for demo, and we have people to volunteer; We are looking at feedback from EO before that work goes ahead.

14:09:22 [Wayne]
Jack: I have seen before an after demos. These really helps people say "I get this now"
14:10:00 [Wayne]
Jack: Used one, but did not think it was a WAI demo
14:10:34 [Wayne]
Judy: Context- want to fit in with Retrofitting and Evaluation Suite
14:11:26 [Wayne]
Helle: The concept is sound.
14:12:00 [Wayne]
William: Historically there are lots of examples, but they are hard to find.
14:12:28 [Wayne]
Judy: Develop site that is clear and usable.
14:12:54 [Wayne]
Helle: What is the starting point? Are we starting from scratch?
14:13:32 [Wayne]
Judy: There are three from before, but they are not ready to go. It is pretty rough.
14:16:25 [Wayne]
Judy: Like an EO document, introduction (context), references,..bad site, model analysis, mini retrofitting plan, a fixed site.
14:18:04 [Wayne]
William: Same set of pages and same appearance. Should it be improved apearance:
14:18:48 [Wayne]
Helle: We must not mix up accessible and usable.
14:19:39 [Wayne]
???: The idea is to fix accessibility without changing the sight.
14:20:15 [Wayne]
Liam: Site has one good view and several bad looks.
14:20:36 [judy]
s/liam/barry
14:20:45 [Wayne]

14:26:43 [Wayne]

heh
14:29:32 [shadi]
q-
14:29:36 [Wayne]
Shadi: Bad html means invalid and misused. Main focus should not be how people experience a site.
14:29:37 [shadi]
ack emmajane
14:31:25 [Wayne]
Emma: Should not miss some alternative views like color blindness,...
14:31:48 [Wayne]
Judy: focus on one good site, followed by links to other sites.
14:31:50 [Andrew]
Andrew: or contrast issues (often age related)
14:33:51 [Wayne]
Eric: We have a group to work on bad and good pages.
14:36:14 [emmajane]
wayne: and also the fact that we shouldn't imply that graphic design changes should _not_ be required to make a site accessible as graphic changes can often mean more people will be required to make the fixes.
14:36:51 [emmajane]
erm. triple negatives....
14:37:03 [emmajane]
graphic design changes != required
14:37:33 [Wayne]

pros of 2: adds authoring tools. think "got atag" nicer up front.

Shawn: I agree with Andrew that the terms will catch the attention of the right people/interested people. And then the content of the section will hopefully expand on the title for those that don't know the terms.
