fo: suggesting ml a primary concern
22:20:32 [janina]
fo: also resource identification
22:20:52 [janina]
sp: one of the first ml expected coming from what. there are others we want to look at.
22:21:05 [janina]
sp: specifically, websrt.
22:21:22 [janina]
fo: but, before we get to that, what's the ml like within the track?
22:21:52 [janina]
sp: ml has gone in to the what spec, also javascript, and how to render
22:22:03 [janina]
sp: personally, few issues with what what has so far re ml
22:22:51 [janina]
fo: believe the resource identification is ok--will be helpful to have spec text soon, esp if for ie9
22:23:21 [frankolivier]
frankolivier has joined #html-a11y
22:23:27 [janina]
sp: currently what in discussion on spec; i've been active there; ian has responded, and i have yet to digest his response
22:24:15 [janina]
sp: we want to see it done right, which means we need to ramp up our work
22:24:28 [janina]
sp: we need to provide feedback on what we need addressed
22:25:24 [janina]
jb: i believe the discussion needs to be happening on w3c lists, not on what, esp as what has not covered a11y systematically
22:25:40 [janina]
[pinging sivia! irc to silvia!]
22:26:10 [janina]
jb: agrees with silvia that timing is essential issue, but our reqs work has also been essential
22:26:42 [janina]
jb: it will be helpful to position the main dialog of our work on w3c space, especially as we are coordinating on a11y
22:26:54 [janina]
q?
22:27:22 [janina]
ec: what silvia is talking about is the track selection proposal which only exists in the what wg at this time
22:27:43 [janina]
jb: i think it's a broader discussion than that
22:28:09 [janina]
jb: yes, we need to keep our pace moving forward
22:28:36 [janina]
sh: how did the group have a discussion about text. we need to discuss before it goes into the spec. we can't have a text mechanism without that discussion.
22:28:47 [janina]
sh: we need to get a proposal on the floor.
22:28:58 [silvia]
zakim, unmute me
22:28:58 [Zakim]
Silvia should no longer be muted
22:29:13 [janina]
jb: i think we can achieve that via our issues and proposals.
22:29:45 [janina]
jb: also, we're looking at ways to adjust the tf process to help streamline this, though can't say more on this at this time. the expectation is better process.
22:30:16 [janina]
jf: earlier in the year we had proposals in the wiki, we set those aside as we revisited user reqs.
22:30:29 [janina]
jf: i believe we also ran a wbs against these? not sure ...
22:30:38 [janina]
jf: it's not that we haven't been there ...
22:30:45 [janina]
ack s
22:31:19 [janina]
sp: agree with everything people are saying. problem there is currently no spec text in w3c docs
22:31:33 [janina]
sp: after next what revision people are likely to start implementing based on what specs
22:32:04 [janina]
sp: this is why we need to do both.
22:32:37 [janina]
jb: so maybe just a few more moments on process, and then we return to the spec text in place
22:33:18 [janina]
jb: suggest actioning self and janina to timeline getting spec text for us to consider.
22:34:17 [janina]
jf: q, what about our 2 earlier proposals? track api, etc, are they up to date?
22:35:03 [janina]
ec: text that's in what spec is all based on our docs earlier in the year.
22:35:16 [janina]
ec: ian working with silvia has refined our earlier work, refining it into spec text
22:35:32 [janina]
ec: in my opinion he has improved on our start, though it is definitely based on our earlier effort
22:36:07 [janina]
sp: exactly.sp: existing text that relates to javascript api and to ml is ok, and should go in.
22:36:28 [janina]
sp: suggest proposing to integrate into w3c docs so that we can move forward
22:36:51 [silvia]
the sections that should be adopted into the W3C spec are:
22:37:02 [silvia]
* the <track> markup
22:37:09 [silvia]
* the related JavaScript API
22:37:19 [janina]
jf: can we ask silvia to do that on email first? so we can first discuss on email?
22:37:23 [silvia]
* the related rendering section
22:38:12 [janina]
js: we need to make sure our reqs are not defeated by this spec lang
22:38:24 [janina]
jf: yes, so if we have it in our docs, we can take up that discussion.
22:38:46 [janina]
jf: we need to be very cautious, but also expeditious
22:40:06 [janina]
jb: ok with moving building blocks forward. and thanks, frank, for provoking us to move forward. we're in better shape on this today than a few months ago!
22:40:15 [janina]
jf: so, can we return to the matrix?
22:40:16 [janina]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/index.php?title=Media_Accessibility_Checklist
22:40:51 [janina]
jf: currently four columns -- the bulleted item, it's identifier, the must/shoud/may; and the tech required for it
22:41:09 [janina]
jf: if we can agree on the content, then we can cross check and make decisions
22:41:45 [janina]
jf: looking at captioning, which is filled out fairly well, is this the way to go? is this useful?
22:41:57 [janina]
[silence]
22:42:04 [janina]
jf: ok, taking silence is ascent
22:42:21 [janina]
jf: so, how to proceed? on call? assigning sections to indivieduals?
22:42:56 [janina]
jf: what do our engineers think?
22:43:49 [janina]
sp: think we should finish then we can start looking at proposed specs, ttml, websrt, etc
22:44:04 [janina]
jf: but the question is how to continue with the matrix?
22:44:13 [janina]
jf: should we just work on the call?
22:44:24 [Zakim]
-Judy
22:44:40 [Zakim]
+Judy
22:45:19 [janina]
sp: we should continue on email
22:45:32 [janina]
ec: agree on email, and editing wiki, should be most expeditious
22:46:12 [janina]
jf: so, we have a list of one word tech identifiers; should we agree a list that we would ascribe? or, am i overthinking this.
22:46:20 [janina]
ec: not sure.
22:47:30 [janina]
js: suggesting a working gloss list up top, so as to be consistent in our identifier usage.
22:47:33 [janina]
ec: yes
22:47:54 [janina]
jf: suggest starting with the terms already proposed
22:48:05 [janina]
[john is reading the current list ...]
22:49:03 [janina]
js: do we need to distinguish video vs audio rendering
22:49:26 [janina]
js: could be audio.rendering, tts.rendering, video.rendering
22:50:21 [silvia]
zakim, mute me
22:50:21 [Zakim]
Silvia should now be muted
22:51:06 [janina]
jf: agree distinction between types of rendering is important, and a dictionary list up top will be useful.
22:51:21 [janina]
jf: looking now for wholesale progress, not the refining points ---- at this time
22:52:14 [Zakim]
-Frank_Olivier
22:52:31 [frankolivier]
phone trouble; calling back
22:53:00 [janina]
js: suggesting even quick and dirty defs in the gloss/dictionary would be helpful
22:53:07 [janina]
ec: agree with basic gloss up top
22:53:32 [janina]
jf: are there other tech questions we need to discuss now?
22:53:55 [janina]
ec: no, without having seen the list, nothing is coming to mind.
22:54:09 [janina]
jf: so we have a path, perhaps a short meeting today?
22:55:14 [janina]
js: looking to our engineering professionals to take the lead on filling this out
22:55:27 [janina]
jb: really think we need commitment, including deadlines on this
22:55:39 [janina]
jb: perhaps go around the room on this?
22:56:03 [janina]
jb: if not specific actioning, it won't happen. we're all busy with competing priorities.
22:56:56 [janina]
[john raising that question around with our engineers ...]
22:57:31 [janina]
ec: don't have much time, and it's impossible for me to commit to particular sections not having seen the matrix, but i will spend time on it this week
22:57:37 [silvia]
zakim, unmute me
22:57:37 [Zakim]
Silvia should no longer be muted
22:58:08 [janina]
sp: eric, suggest picking an area not yet marked up and go for it. i suggest that's how each of us should proceed.
22:58:11 [janina]
sp: i will do the same.
22:58:34 [janina]
sp: i'm particularly interested in the qtext format, for instance, but everything needs assessment.
22:58:57 [janina]
sh: will take a look at it, but my ability is intermittant at the moment as i'm traveling this weekend.

23:00:02 [janina]
jf: so, we've agreed progress in our larger task is facilitated by progress on this matrix, so we need to get this done
23:00:34 [janina]
jb: want to ask some additional questions re process moving forward ...
23:00:51 [janina]
jb: talking re people on the call right now ...
23:01:42 [janina]
jb: willing to ask others to help
23:01:45 [silvia]
I just had an initial go at a Glossary under the matrix: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Checklist#Glossary
23:02:06 [janina]
sp: silvia, why am i not surprised! i love your get it done spirit!
23:02:44 [janina]
jb: any suggestions for moving other pieces moving forward in parallel, please speak up
23:03:28 [janina]
js: will ask kenny johar re struct nav and granularity
23:03:38 [janina]
js: also geof freed re dv and captioning
23:03:59 [davidb]
davidb has joined #html-a11y
23:04:41 [janina]

sp: jim allen
23:05:09 [janina]
jf: i'll ask jim
23:05:43 [janina]
sp: we want to wrap this next week, if we can.
23:05:47 [janina]
jf: yes
23:06:33 [janina]
jb: have we forgotten our mini presentations on formats? websrt, ttml, etc?
23:07:22 [janina]
sp: suggest starting with ttml next week, assuming matrix is ready, believe sean was on tap for ttml?
23:07:27 [janina]
jb: sean, is that still ok?
23:07:32 [janina]
sean, yes
23:08:02 [janina]
sean, will take some work between the table being completed and preparing the presentation.
23:08:34 [janina]
jf: user reqs have not changed
23:08:47 [janina]
sean: but there's this table, i need to work off this table matrix
23:11:08 [janina]
js: but what we need is a complete matrix, so the tech column can be sorted, dups removed, and we can build a matrix showing what available techs provide, such as ttml, websrt, etc.
23:11:16 [janina]
jf: anything else today?
23:11:22 [janina]
js: we're done for today
