<oedipus> PC: also SXSW

<oedipus> SF: if come to CSUN, won't be able to travel to U.S. for subsequent meeting

stevef: think about holding around csun,

<oedipus> CS: have offices in california, too - might be host site in bay area

<oedipus> JF: could help in organizing bay area

cyns: microsoft has offices in bay area, also j foliot may be able to help in bay area

pallcotton: strongly agree need to make progress, general question, isn't scheduling a meeting in april sending a message that we won't be finsihed before april

janina: not sure we will be finsihed by April, still bugs being filed

paulcotton; accessibility issues will be longpole., so need to start setting the HTML wg expectations

janina: we can do that to an extent, but still need to process incoming bugs
... 2-3 weeks away for being able to scope work to be done

paulcotton: need to communicate with html wg on progress

MC: need f2f to get a lot done, some issues cannot be addressed before last call, so need to prioritise pre/post last call

janina: schedule f2f to aim to get wide participation

<oedipus> mixed physical and virtual f2f?

kliehm: if official titmframe is 60, should grab any opportunity to meet informally

janina: could get a decision on meeting

MC: csun good time for meet as lost of accessibility specialists will be around, but also think about other people that want to be involved

@summary for TABLE proposal update

cyns: overview of summary proposal, no change to changes proposal, all is in mail sent to list

<oedipus> Cyns' summary summary: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0157.html

<oedipus> maciej's reply to Cyns: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0159.html

cyns: recommending a UI toggle for browsers to show/hide metadata, also browsers may show summary in editing scenarios, converstaions with wendy chisolm about summary, added an orientation attribute, not very easy for AT to work out form table
... make things easier for AT, to provide info to users rather than asking authors to summarise table structure in prose
... orientation is one of those, wnedy looking at AT and what they could benefit from table markup
... makingh the need for summary less frequent, by giving AT info to derive structure via markup.
... describing trends and relationships that are visibly obvious, but not clear for all
... orientaion defines order and sorting, but wnedy wnats to work on this more
... some proposals on list to use aria-sort

<oedipus> SF: 1 thing that's concerned me is should we be advocating its use at this time - summary and longdesc have support in some major ATs, don't have support in a lot of other AT - telling people to put info into place that locks it away from AT users will be very problemmatic

<oedipus> CS: WCAG support issue

<richardschwerdtfe> I don't like longdesc

<oedipus> JS: recommending UI's be able to expose hidden meta-data to anybody

<richardschwerdtfe> authors almost never use it

rich: really? i never realized :-)

GJR: there is a limited amount of utility for users to be provided with logistical info about tables

cyns: will you work with wnedy on this

GJR: yes

<oedipus> ACTION: GJR work with Wendy on user-side of what AT needs in order to communicate meaningful info to AT user [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/01/14-html-a11y-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-10 - Work with Wendy on user-side of what AT needs in order to communicate meaningful info to AT user [on Gregory Rosmaita - due 2010-01-21].

<richardschwerdtfe> two things I despise in HTML - acckess key and longdesc

janina: how much can profitably be derived from markup

<oedipus> gez's comment on auto-summary: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0162.html

cyns: AT still having probs with row and colspans
... we usually let AT off the hook

<Zakim> oedipus, you wanted to say that logistical statistics are of limited use to the AT user

cyns: but AT need to step up, AT should be able to provide it

janina: are we at consensus, should we go point by point to get an idea of consensus?

cyns: concerned about just submitting change proposal without associated bits

janina: take it as given as other stuff will be raised

johnf: is with janina on this

cyns: expect pushback for htmlwg hope there is not pushback from accessibility community, if its just summary could have ready in a week
... more likely to approve orientation rather than summary, not sure how to proceed
... put simple summary change prosal with heading listing other chnages

<oedipus> SF: want to ask does proposal contain alternative spec-ready text?

<oedipus> CS: yes

cyns: does our wiki arcg=hive previous version?

GJR: yes

<oedipus> FIVE MINUTE WARNING

janina: due dates?
... lets have 2 action items, chnage proposal on summary netx week and also report back on timeline for fucrther changes

GJR: will report on timeline

cyns: may need one off meet to diicuss

<oedipus> ACTION: Gregory - report on timeline for summary verbiage about what AT needs to communicate and report back to HTML5 A11y TF [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/01/14-html-a11y-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-11 - - report on timeline for summary verbiage about what AT needs to communicate and report back to HTML5 A11y TF [on Gregory Rosmaita - due 2010-01-21].

mattmay: has open action in reference to image analysis, image anaysis is described as adequate alternative for human generated text alternatives, but it is not

<mattmay> http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ChangeProposals/ImageHeuristics

mattmay: please have a look, I plan on submitting before deadline

janina: should be getting to alt as it is very important to accessibility

cyns: some people mentioned it may be useful to have a survey about hidden metadata
... such as alt, summary etc

<oedipus> terminology nit: it is not "hidden meta-data" we are dealing with, but "discoverable meta-data" is what i believe @summary should be

janina: wrpa it up, thanks all, see you next week

GJR: will wrap (thanks gregory)

<oedipus> thanks steveF for scribing

<oedipus> michaelC and or janina - should the minutes be world or member viewable?
