CS: just sent to list few minutes ago

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0249.html

http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Summary_Change_Proposal_Nov_18%2C_2009

MS: we can say that this reflects consensus of Task Force?

CS: i believe so

JS: not having read latest yet, don't want to say, but expect need a bit of discussion perhaps today or next week; need to focus on finalizing and transmission to HTML WG

CS: but action done
... please add as agenda item next week

PC: why not do call for consensus via email on proposal

JS: not bad idea - problem with email is counting noses

<MikeSmith> action-13: message from Cynthia - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0249.html

<trackbot> ACTION-13 create a change proposal for table summary notes added

JS: suggest for chairs meeting, use web survey mechanism for polling - gives reliable account qickly

PC: thought TF already worked on this and need to ensure reflects decisions; asking for last check, don't need survey

CS: is not unanimity on proposal - may be easiest to determine majority/minority with a survey

PC: if put of discussion for a week, will be 2 weeks before gets to HTML WG

MS: call for consensus via email one expeditious means of dealing with this

<MikeSmith> close action-13

<trackbot> ACTION-13 create a change proposal for table summary closed

MS: for now, will close action 13

CS: discuss next week?

JS: expect so

PC: HTML WG action 170 at WG level due next week
... status of that work?

JS: in process
... not forgotten or languishing

reports from TF Subgroups (Canvas; Video; ...)

<MikeSmith> Paul asked about HTML WG action 170

reports from TF subgroups

JF: steve and i had conversation this week; need to kick something into gear;
... series of basic questions to consider; first step: get questions out for general discussion
... situation right now; proof-of-concepts for providing captions - which directions do we want to focus on - many possibilities emerging
... timing, timestamp formate, etc.
... need to articulate questions and get open to public
... aware of urgency

MS: others help?

GJR: make wiki page with questoins on TF wiki?

JF: can't think of anything offhand - need to review past work and past resources; whole bunch of work done in mozilla; javascript to provide captions been demonstrated
... will take responsibility to get before the public

SF: what is current status: still need additional code in HTML5 to provide, or about evangelizing and using external methods

<Laura> Dave started a Multimedia Q&A Wiki Page: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Multimedia_Q%26A

JF: fundamental question; seen 2 very distinct solutions proferred; there are existing solutions do we want to explore each or get down and dirty, require captioning and detail requirements and methods

<Joshue> There seems to be even no consensus about a lot of stuff with <canvas> such as what a shadow DOM is.

JF: do it for reason Y and here are methods; don't know answer off top of head

MS: need to check in again and make an assessment of how much has been done, current state of art; maybe need additional people in multimedia sub-group

JF: by next week's call will have list of questions - post to maililng list first

SF: can give quick update on CANVAS
... low attendance at meetings
... changes as far as providing focus - drawing focus rectangle on CANVAS and also interactivity with elements in CANVAS sub-DOM
... looks promising from my perspective
... outreach being made to developers
... media queries for providing alternative content for CANVAS - more problematic; not agreed to within sub-group
... RichS running discussions down; working on proposal

MS: seems like deliverable for CANVAS discussion is the spec, right?

SF: right

MS: any editors writing that spec?

SF: RichS writing portion of text for spec
... concept of CANVAS fallback is no longer suitable concept for what is in canvas sub-DOM; appears that providing interattion with elements in sub-DOM may be mainstream way for devs to have directives / controls that only appear on canvas, but user can still interact with elements in sub-DOM itself, so saying "this is fallback" is no longer correct

JS: why a subgroup - a lot to consider

<MikeSmith> q

<Joshue> Thanks to Chaals for explaining the murky world of the shadow DOM!

<MikeSmith> wendy: regarding "ACTION-11 - report on timeline for summary verbiage about what AT needs to communicate and report back to HTML5 A11y TF" do you have a timeline to report today?

<Stevef> canvas image map example: http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/misc/canvas-pie/pie.html

<MikeSmith> action-11 due 2010-02-04

<trackbot> ACTION-11 - report on timeline for summary verbiage about what AT needs to communicate and report back to HTML5 A11y TF due date now 2010-02-04

<MikeSmith> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/44061/201001_ftf/

<MikeSmith> MikeSmith: TF members who have not responded to that survey should please do so

<Marco_Ranon> i will after speaking to my line manager tomorow

<wendy> is it possible to co-locate it with www or csun?

Review of "a11y" bugs

<MikeSmith> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html

<paulc> Leaving to go to HTML WG meeting.

<kliehm> Just contacted Julian Viereck (http://twitter.com/jviereck), one of the lead developers of Bespin, and invited him to the TF Canvas Subgroup. When is the weekly telcon?

<Stevef> kliehm: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-canvas-api/2010JanMar/0044.html
