16:11:08 zakim, take up next agendum
16:11:08 agendum 2. "Longdesc Extension Update (CfC currently has very few responses)" taken up [from chaals]
16:11:29 CMN: CfC doesn't have many responses - it would be nice ot have more.
16:12:23 … one response form James Craig discussing the point about clarifying that longdesc applies to everything - says that isn't his point, he just doesn't want to use longdesc.
16:13:25 … there is a technical point there, but his objection is wanting another spec. Don't see any objection on the technical point.
16:14:04 SF: Imagine people who want to make longdesc obsolete but conforming make their point in HTML WG. That would presumably imply an alternative proposal.

16:20:51 CMN: Where we are up to is the HTML chairs and editors are waiting for us to file the bugs in HTML WG so they can work through them.
16:21:41 … They have a decision which requests gidance in the spec, but the guidance that is there can be discussed, so as far as I can tell, that is what we should be doing.
16:21:49 +Cynthia_Shelly
16:22:03 +1 to chaals
16:22:11 … in theory we could try to re-open ISSUE-31, but that seems both painful and unnecessary.
16:22:18 q+
16:22:25 ack Judy
16:22:48 JB: Regards processing individual bugs, would do that in HTML WG.
16:23:23 q+
16:23:30 … there may be a pending coordination question on how much can be done where, think it would be good for TF chairs and HTML editors to have a quick chat. Avoiding reopening ISSUE-31 would be of value to humanity.
16:23:34 ack ste
16:24:30 SF: I have filed 4 bugs on alt issues. All except 1 are not in section 4.8 but in surrounding sections. Purely on examples they have, using title attribute.
16:25:35 CMN: So we need to get on with filing the bugs, and getting them dealt with.
16:26:00 EO'C: (makes chaals laugh. Luckily, chaals was muted).
16:26:47 q+
16:26:49 … Yep. File, and follow up… I don;t think there is a big problem here, just a question of work.

16:27:09 JB: Undertsand Robin Berjon has this task among the editors...
16:27:20 janina has joined #html-a11y
16:27:34 EO'C: He has assigned them to himself. But bugs can be passed around the editors if needed.
16:27:54 zakim, take up next agendum
16:27:54 agendum 4. "Subteam Reports: Bug Triage; Text;" taken up [from chaals]

16:28:49 JB: Text subteam got swamped by holidays. Next meeting Jan 8
16:29:17 … will start processing bugs tagged "text" at that point.
16:29:41 … have processing question about bugs that are being deferred to A11yTF or HTML 5.1
16:30:39 … Ted, is that something editors have a preference about? E.g. bugs previously closed as WONTFIX that A11yTF think shouldbe fixed, but presumably not in HTML5.0
16:30:55 … We couldn't find good classification.
16:31:40 EO'C: Things resolved as "later" are usually being opened on HTML.next - if things fall off our radar, move them there and open them.
16:32:33 … If you think there is work to be done in the TF I think it would be valuable to have a component in Bugzilla - perhaps something will become an extension spec but we don't know a priori. We should ask Team contacts to create a component for A11yTF.
16:33:33 … There are bugs where TF disagrees with original resolution. I think re-opening is the right thing to do, and you should double-check the assignee to make sure it is one of the current editors. Editors have been trawling through this stuff, and picking up bugs assigned to dave.null
16:34:09 … so assigning to dave.null gets it into the editor's "pick list"
16:35:07 JB: Not sure how many of these last we found. Don't think we picked up "Later" bugs… how to clarify?
16:35:23 EO'C: There is HTML.next component, and "later" as a resolution.
16:35:59 … there will now be things that get done for 5.1 and things that should happen after that, so there will need to be a classification.
16:36:20 … Things resolved "later" that need to be noticed should be re-opened with the right component.
