<jeanne> jim, did you do the meeting set up already?

<jeanne> ...for scribing

<AllanJ> just invited zakim and rrsagent, no titles, agenda etc

<jeanne> Ok, will do. I just joined so I didn't see what was done.

<jeanne> rssagent, set logs public

<scribe> Scribe: Jan

Printing in a user agent

JA: No commenting yet on succes criteia...
... Then some work on "passive reflow"

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008AprJun/0117.html

And the SC: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008AprJun/0072.html

DH: Defintion of flow looks fine

<scribe> ACTION: JS Add "Flow" to glossary [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/05/29-ua-minutes.html#action01]

JA: OK on to the printing success criteria

<scribe> ACTION: JR to Edit http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008AprJun/0072.html to remove "horizontal" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/05/29-ua-minutes.html#action02]

JS: Key thing is to say "appropriate with the language"

JA: I think if you review it...most of the text is in the flow defintion so this can be simplified

JR: OK

<jeanne> "Print Scale: If a print from viewport feature is provided,

<jeanne> the user has the option of printing using the viewport's scale settings

<jeanne> such that the user agent should attempt to *passively reflow* the

<jeanne> content into the horizontal dimensions of paper. If passive reflow is

<jeanne> not possible, more than one sheet of paper will be required horizontally.

JA: Then were we say the reflow is not possible, the same

DH: ok...but looks like I need to get on irc
... OK with basic requirement

<jeanne> JS: Ok

3. Establish a process for how UAWG determines success criteria level forUAAG2

JA: Brought up by Kelly...
... Looked at WCAG2...
... In UAAG1 my rememberance is just that it was thrashed out in group...if something would "really" cause problems it was an A
... Barrier to some is AA
... Nice to do become AAA

JR: Explains the WAI 1.0 vs 2.0 levels

So Level A...no work around for user

DH: What do you mean by "barrier" at level AA

JA: Level AA is nuanced thing...if don't do it...things are difficult but not stonewalled

JR: Points out that "reasonably be achieved" usually comes into it

JA: We should try to harmonize with WCAG

JR: ATAG not fully worked out yet
... I suggest UAAG harmonizes with WCAG
... Reads from http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20080430/conformance.html

"Understanding Levels of Conformance"

DH: Any one concerned about testable by machine or human
... Concerned about machine testing

<AllanJ> JR: explains machine testing,

JR: Thinks that UA context would mainly be human testing

JA: WCAG thinking about accessible content testing
... Don't think we could do this in UA

<AllanJ> JR: talking about accessibility of web application

<AllanJ> ... tools can inspect the web application

<AllanJ> ... UAAG has requirement to provide a "list of link"

<AllanJ> ... not sure a machine can do this, but a human can determine if list is available

JR: Would think a couple people for ac ouple weeks could test a browser

oops that was JR

JA: So WCAG fully baked?...
... Don't know if we will creat an "Understanding UAAG"...
... Maybe for our own internal use we can use the 13 page version...
... We should inform our discussion of levels from WCAG's 13 page version...but when we actually write UAAG2's conf section we'll try to be shorter

4. Future directions

JA: We have the"Keyboard access" thing...
... But think that needs more work;...
... Then we have the UA and video peice

DH: WHat meant by video?

JA: Right now video treated as plugin...we talk about passing control...etc.
... In HTML5 video will become more native...so more issues come up: captions, text track
... Our placeholder text needs to be cleaned up
... I was thinking the browser should provide a standard widget set around video

DH: Yeah...if its native it shouldn't be on screen readers to handle the scripting
... Prob a pretty hot topic

JA: Yes

<AllanJ> JR: ALT issue, give background.

<AllanJ> ... a request for feedback to XTECH and HTML5 from UAWG

JA: So from user agent...we're going to reveal to user agent what's important...
... Up to HTML5 to decide how to store what's important...

<AllanJ> JR: doesn't want ambiguity in the HTML5 spec.

JA: And in HTML5 there is a cascading layer thing....legends...containing imgs etc.

<AllanJ> JR: don't think a big deal. @alt to be alternate representation of the image, e.g. image of iceberg, @alt - iceberg floating in ocean, <legend> if it uses the same language

<AllanJ> ... then only reveal one, if they are different then reveal both

JA: This is a screen reder repair issue...alt="" is decorative, no alt triggers repair

<scribe> ACTION: JA will go through UAAG2 and look at places concerned with revealing alternates [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/05/29-ua-minutes.html#action03]

DH: Maybe I will try and get James Craig involved.

JA: Great...there's process things to do.
