We are planning to announce on Monday and want this cover page to be ready so let's look at it. We can still change it if needed, but want oit to be clear on Monday 12:40:10 ...feedback in wiki 12:41:27 I notice typo in opening para - "usefull" instead of "useful" 12:44:33 +1 to Sharron's edit of final paragraph 12:46:41 ...first comment was addressed by Eric before getting on the plane. 12:46:45 could we just have [Status - This is an in-progress, unapproved draft.] at the top? 12:47:05 Wayne: Can we remove the "draft jargon from the top and put it at the bottom...it seems unfriendly. 12:47:08 and the second sentence repeats the bit in the box at the bottom already 12:47:44 Shawn: I think it is important since this version is still a very rough draft and is not approved by EO 12:47:48 q+ 12:47:55 q+ 12:47:59 ack sh 12:48:59 Wayne: I understand but think it is just unfriendly 12:49:00 Sharron: last week I was agaginst even announcing it because it was such a tentative state. need to be clear that it's a work in progress. can work on wording so not unfriendly. but so much of it we haven't even reviewed. it's gonna get a lot of attention 12:49:04 ack a 12:49:08 +1 to sharron 12:49:37 Sharron: In general I agree, but in this case it is in such a rough draft that I don't think we should risk any misunderstanding 12:50:01 ack a 12:50:11 Andrew: What if we leave only the first sentence, this is an in-progress unapproved draft. 12:51:05 AnnaBelle: Or something even more brief, leave the word DRAFT at the top with an asterisk leading to the detail at the bottom. The green color is disturbing to me. 12:51:46 Andrew: Do we need to inlcude the word "unapproved" within the Draft 12:51:50 q+ 12:52:42 Shawn: Yes, it may be splitting hairs but there are different kinds of Drafts, "WG Draft" "Editor's Draft" etc and many do not know what it means. Nevertheless I think we need to make clear that this is not an approved draft. 12:52:45 s/Do we need to inlcude the word "unapproved" within the Draft/Do we need to include the term"unapproved draft" as well as "DRAFT"/ 12:52:45 s/disturbing/eye-catching 12:53:17 ...how do people feel about Andrew's suggestion to leave only the first sentence and move the rest to teh bottom and tweak? 12:53:20 +1 andrew 12:53:22 Sharron: +1 12:53:43 +1 shawn 12:53:54 +1 to andrew's suggest 12:54:03 s/+1 shawn/ / 12:54:15 q- 12:54:35 Wayne: I like annabelle's suggestion and if we could move the whole status down. But I understand now why we were so tentative about it. 12:55:38 +Howard_ 12:55:44 RESOLUTION: Remove second sentence from status declaration and make the word Status in the same font as the rest. 12:55:56 Howard has joined #eo 12:56:15 zakim, mute me 12:56:15 Howard_ should now be muted 12:56:23 zakim, mute me 12:56:24 Howard_ was already muted, Howard 12:56:30 Shawn: Another question was do we think project managers are the primary audience and should be named first? 12:56:32 zakim, mute me 12:56:33 Howard_ was already muted, Howard 12:56:39 Sharron: Who would you name first? 12:57:03 Shawn: Developers...and what is the difference between authors and developers? 12:57:20 Andrew: Authors may use authoring tools. 12:57:51 +1 to Shawn's suggested reordering 12:58:04 Shawn: Should we make that distinction? Seems to me we should talk about developers, designers (who are not mentioned here) and put authors later on and PMs last. 12:58:37 q+ 12:58:54 q+ 12:59:12 Andrew: Maybe authors will need to use the CMS tools properly for tables 12:59:19 Sharron: and image content 12:59:31 Shawn: and what does it mean to frame content 12:59:32 +1 12:59:36 +1 12:59:43 s/Authors may use authoring tools/Authors may use authoring tools to write content; developers do technical development 12:59:46 ...so do we want to move PNs lower in the sentence? 12:59:52 Sharron: +1 12:59:52 +1 13:00:07 s/PNs/PMs 13:00:20 Shawn: and do we want to add designers? 13:01:23 s/ move PNs lower/ move Project Managers lower/ 13:02:02 Shadi: Developers are the main target audience. Adding designers makes it clear that these are our main target sudiences. Add a qualifying statement to the "authors" to disambiguate that they may not look at code but will benefit from the principles. Include the others as secondary audinces 13:02:06 q- 13:02:20 Shawn: Do we want to remove PMs altogether? 13:02:31 ack w 13:02:36 Wayne: Absolutely not, they are the ones who make the changes 13:02:59 Shadi: I agree with Wayne, they need to understand the princliples and ideas 13:03:18 Sharron: +1 Wayne, Shadi keep PMs as an audience 13:03:51 Shadi: Maybe a rewording to make it clear that some folks need the technical detail and others like PMs and authors need to understand comcepts and principles 13:04:10 suggested wroding ->> PMs: get basic understanding of the concepts and principles 13:04:40 I think Web Designers need to be added right under Web Developers 13:05:04 Sharron: Maybe make it two sentences or clauses, one for technical skills and others for principles 13:05:15 suugested wording for authors ->> maybe non-technical content authors 13:05:55 Shadi: non technical content authors can learn concepts and principles/ requirements, that they need to create accessible content 13:06:01 authors - change "frame" 13:06:05 ...maybe add the suggestion of CMS 13:06:18 Authors will learn how to frame their content in an accessible way >> Content Authors will learn the concepts for preparing their content in an accessible way 13:06:28 Content Writers 13:06:36 Shawn: What about content writers 13:06:41 s/Content Writers/ / 13:06:51 +1 to andrew 13:07:07 +1 to andrew's suggestion 13:07:17 Andrew: Add content authors to prepare there content in an accessible way 13:07:21 +1 13:07:37 s/Add content authors to prepare there content in an accessible way/Add content authors to prepare there content in an accessible way 13:08:36 +1 designers separate bullet 13:08:39 AnnaBelle: I feel strongly that Web Designers should be mentioned separately and included. If I were a designer and heard web developers and designers, I would assume it was another instance where they did not know the difference. 13:08:42 designers +1 13:09:15 +1 for separate bullet for designers 13:09:21 s/Add content authors to prepare there content in an accessible way/change "Authors will learn how to frame their content in an accessible way" to "Content authors will learn the concepts for preparing their content in an accessible way" 13:09:28 Shadi: I think AB's explanation was good and I am convinced, but it will be difficult to find different language to describe what designers will get. 13:09:40 Anna Belle will provide wording for the designer bullet 13:09:47 AnnaBelle: I disagree, but can't come up with it right now. Will work on it. 13:10:25 Shawn: Second paragraph...is it too negative? 13:10:31 ...how important is that? 13:10:49 ...in Easy Checks the disclaimer was vital, is that true here? 13:10:55 +1 13:11:01 q+ 13:11:05 can simplify "This collection of tutorials" to "These tutorials" 13:11:07 ack sh 13:11:14 Andrew: I don't think there is much danger of people believing this is complete coverage 13:11:33 change "readers" in "It is usefull to a variety of readers including" 13:12:31 Shadi: There were 2 points: Tutorials do not cover all WCAG requirements. Second in each turtorial, like the images, there are lots of good examples, but does not cover every situation or instance. There will always be missing information. 13:12:40 Shawn: Why is that important to say? 13:12:41 s/where they did not know the difference/where they did not know the difference and I would leave the tutorials site. 13:12:59 Shadi: So that people do not think they have learned everything about it by taking the tutorial 13:13:45 '...at the end of the day they will still need to know how to meet WCAG and this will not give them complete information for that. 13:14:10 s/ '...at the/ ... at the/ 13:14:38 Wayne: If that is the main point, take the exhaustive comment away and make it more positive. 13:14:42 "These tutorials help you learn WCAG 2.0 ... but you still have to learn it :p" 13:15:03 q+ to say bascis of oh pwwds use web 13:15:07 Shawn: What if we mention the basics in advance and then get to what we think is the main point of WCAG understanding 13:15:48 [[please avoid "basics"]] 13:15:58 ...like "these tutorials cover the basics and some advanced aspects. They are a good starting point for learning and addressing WCAG. You will still want to use WCAG directly to ensure that you meet the requirements 13:16:42 starting point for... 13:17:05 Shadi: We are working hard to include advanced techniques and would like attention from those who may understand the basics already and will benefit from learning from these. 13:17:36 Shawn: if we avoid basics, how is the approach in general? 13:17:45 Shadi: OK 13:18:21 Shawn: What about the call for contributions that is on the bottom of each page? 13:18:35 AnnaBelle: Is it OK that we use the GitHub icon? 13:18:45 I didn't recognize it either 13:19:00 Andrew: Oh, is that what that is, I thought someone was just being cute 13:19:14 deleted from top: "Please send any suggestions, edits, or comments to the publicly-archived list: wai-eo-editors@w3.org." 13:19:20 Shawn: The sentence we deleted from teh top was [above] 13:19:58 ...it feels a bit too specific and could be confusing. Maybe just use the sentence removed from the top 13:20:47 Shadi: It was taken from the boilerplate that we used in the Images tutorial where we were seeking an ARIA example. It should be more general overall, more geenric. 13:20:59 s/geenric/generic 13:21:12 Call for Contributions box - on main page, make more generic. probably use text moved from the top 13:21:15 zakim, mute me 13:21:15 Shadi should now be muted 13:21:25 Andrew: send suggestions, edits or comments is pretty generic 13:21:34 Shawn: OK, anything else? 13:21:47 SUB-TOPIC 13:21:50 http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/more/ 13:21:51 ...what about the More On the Way page? 13:21:55 More on the way page 13:22:16 not link to our wiki pages 13:22:17 ack me 13:22:19 ...I don' 13:22:24 +1 13:22:32 +1 13:22:32 t think we want to link to the wiki pages 13:22:56 Andrew: Don't think we want to draw public attention to it 13:23:06 Shawn: I agree 13:23:30 Shadi: But there is a lot of what we are thinking about and it might help people who are interested in what's under the hood. 13:24:30 Shawn: We have a table with current issues, what if we move that to a public page and point to that so they don't get the jumble of past comments etc 13:25:05 Shadi: That will be OK but I would encourage people to contribute so that we have ideas even after WAI ACT comes to an end? 13:25:10 +1 13:25:21 zakim, mute me 13:25:21 Shadi should now be muted 13:25:25 +1 13:25:30 +1 13:25:32 Sharron: +1 13:25:44 +1 13:26:20 RESOLUTION: Create wiki page intended for external interaction which includes Eric's table and some context? 13:26:36 whjat about putting it in WAI-engage? 13:26:37 Sharron: Will that be on the EO wiki or the WAI-Engage wiki? 13:26:45 Andrew: I wondered that as well. 13:26:55 s/whjat /what 13:27:04 Shawn: Shadi any thoughts or reactions to that? 13:27:10 ack me 13:27:17 Call for Contributions box opn this page would be a little different, too 13:27:22 ...call for contributions will be different here as well 13:27:23 zakim, mute me 13:27:23 Wayne should now be muted 13:27:44 Shadi: I am kind of thinking of what is the benefit of using WAI-Engage? 13:27:59 Shawn: It allows people to add comments directly 13:28:29 zakim, mute me 13:28:29 Shadi should now be muted 13:28:35 Shadi: But it needs a bit more curation in my veiw to encourage volunteers. I am not entirely sure about pros and cons and will think about it 13:28:43 +1 13:28:45 ack me 13:28:57 Shawn: On Sunday we will choose the next three to work on and can list that on this page 13:29:08 zakim, mute me 13:29:08 Shadi should now be muted 13:29:21 Shadi> Yes agreed that would be a good thing to publish in the wiki 13:29:26 List on this page the ones that we're working on -- which we'll chose on Sunday 13:30:16 zakim, unmute me 13:30:16 Wayne should no longer be muted 13:30:31 Shawn: On tables we have Editor's draft, not ready to reveiw. Not sure we need to confuse the issue with the difference between draft categories 13:31:40 ...I propose not to use the term Editor's Draft, that we make "Not ready for review" more clear, and ... 13:31:42 zakim, ack me 13:31:42 unmuting Howard_ 13:31:44 I see shawn on the speaker queue 13:31:57 AA suggest: This is an in-progress, unapproved draft not yet ready for review. 13:32:50 Andrew: If it is not ready for review we don't want comments, suggestions, etc. You can't have it both ways, they are contradictory 13:32:53 Call for Contributions box should be different for the pages that are not yet ready for review. 13:33:13 saying it "is not yet ready for review" means we should not call for comments at this stage 13:33:30 [ don't like draft as an image in the h1 ] 13:33:36 Howard: The outline of the paragraph etc does suggest that this is a much more rough draft, it came across clearly 13:33:41 zakim, mute me 13:33:41 Howard_ should now be muted 13:34:07 Shawn: The call for contributions must therefore be different on those pages not ready for review 13:34:24 Andrew: Yes, it MUST be changed 13:35:00 Shawn: So what we are thinking for the announcement to address some discomforts 13:35:09 Web Accessibility Tutorials in Progress 13:35:09 Dear WAI Interest Group Participants, 13:35:09 WAI invites you to provide input into our new Web Accessibility Tutorials at: 13:35:09 http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/ 13:35:09 We have a *draft framework* in place and welcome feedback on the navigation, visual design, etc. 13:35:10 The *Images tutorial* starting at is fairly complete and we welcome detailed feedback on the content. Specifically, we would like input on the use of the WAI-ARIA attributes aria-label and aria-labelledBy for images. 13:35:10 The *other draft tutorials* there (Tables, Forms, Sliders/ Carousel) are still rough, so you probably want to hold off on doing a detailed review. 13:35:10 Over the next few months, we'll be developing additional tutorials covering basic and advanced topics. 13:35:10 Please send any input to the publicly-archived mailing list: 13:35:11 13:35:11 or you can contibute directly via Github: 13:35:11 13:35:11 *For those at CSUN*, let's talk tutorials at: 13:35:11 The WAI to Web Accessibility: Education & Outreach Update 2014 13:35:11 Thursday 4:20pm 13:35:12 Gaslamp B, 2nd Floor, Seaport Tower 13:35:12 If you might be interested in actively contributing to the development of these tutorials as a participant in WAI's Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG), please read Participating in WAI at and Participating in the EOWG at , then contact Shawn Henry . 13:35:32 s/Yes, it MUST be changed/Yes, "draft" in the heading MUST be changed from image to text/ 13:36:23 images - disappointing to note that the complex image (graph) relies on colour alone :( 13:36:54 uh, that should not be 13:37:37 zakim, ack me 13:37:37 unmuting Howard_ 13:37:38 I see shawn on the speaker queue 13:37:54 Shawn: If this is adequately communicating that this is a work in progress, please provide that feedback, esp Andrew and Sharron who had those concerns. Make sure if you have changes to suggest, you send to wiki and WAI editors list 13:38:06 zakim, mute me 13:38:06 Howard_ should now be muted 13:38:10 Howard: I think this is a very good way to communicate status, well done! 13:38:22 andrew - why does it rely on color alone? the bars have labels beneath 13:38:37 Topic: ATAG promotion 13:38:42 zakim, mute me 13:38:42 Shadi was already muted, shadi 13:38:44 https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Outreach_for_ATAG_2.0#Elevator_Pitch 13:39:31 Sharron: Do you need to approve the card before printing? 13:40:03 Shawn: It would be nice to look at it. 13:42:50 text for cards: https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Outreach_for_ATAG_2.0#Cards_Version_4_.28previous_versions_below.29 13:43:46 Shawn: so we will ahve buttons and cards, but are working on the elevator pitch 13:45:06 https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Outreach_for_ATAG_2.0#Elevator_Pitch 13:45:43 +Jeanne 13:45:51 jeanne has joined #eo 13:46:34 sharron++ 13:46:42 250 buttons - excellent! 13:47:18 what size/diameter? 13:47:40 Jeanne: When people are looking for conversation starters, Ask Me About ATAG it will be a natural. 13:47:59 Shawn: And so if you have the button and someone asks you, what do you say? 13:49:04 Jeanne: Suggest to start with "Have you heard of WCAG - the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines?" to make sure thay have even that much context. 13:49:23 zakim, who is making noise? 13:49:33 shawn, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Shawn (39%), Wayne (9%), Jeanne (74%) 13:50:11 Jeanne: the key point to get across is that ATAG enables web authors with disabilities to use tools and makes the tools more able to create accessible content 13:50:23 Shawn: AND do you want to submit impleemtnation or test? 13:51:11 Sharron: I agree with Jeanne that people need to make the points their own 13:52:03 Shawn: Even when I mentioned it at the WAI staff meeting, people asked for a link to the elevator pitch. So we do need to have a clear message that people can adapt as their own 13:52:27 Wayne: So maybe we need just a bullet list so advocates know what to cover. 13:52:41 [[would like main points about the status and what kind of feedback/contribution AUWG wants]] 13:52:46 when tools help with accessibility, it saves millions of developers work -- it's more efficient and effective for for the few 100(1,000?) tools to help with accessibility in order to lift some of the burden off the millions on content providers 13:52:53 ...like it makes it easier to make accessible content if the tools are ATAG conforming 13:53:25 q+ 13:53:31 Jeanne: It helps you write more accessible pages without having to be an accessibility expert 13:53:50 ...which will save $$ 13:54:02 ...avoid retraining, retrofit, etc 13:54:09 How about using the term automate in some way? 13:54:17 Wayne: From the POV of developers, it will save time 13:54:28 ack me 13:54:36 Shawn: Makes accessibility easier and faster 13:54:40 ATAG helps automate the development of accessible content ... 13:55:11 ATAG helps authoring tools automate the development of accessible content.... 13:55:15 Shadi: ATAG doesn't really do any of this, the tools do. There is an indirection going on there.
