<scribe> scribe: MarkS

Identify Scribe http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/index.php?title=Scribe_List

<janina> Mark is it

Additional agenda?

JS: We need to talk about Web VTT review
... hopefully JF will be on the call when we bring it up

PC: I sent an email to the TF to contact the Media TF for discussion items at the F2F

JS: We already have an item for that

April F2F Update; TPAC

JS: Registration closes today. If you are planning to go and have not done it yet, register
... Paul has sent a request for agenda topics related to media

CN: we have transcript to talk about. Working on wiki and work items to structure discussion
... we have a bug, leonie looked and says its alright
... no other direct issues as far as I know

JS: That is my understanding as well

Participation in TF F2F in Europe

<chaals> Poll for possible meeting dates in europe

JS: Chaals put out a poll for participation in a TF F2F in Europe
... also a discussion about meeting during TPAC
... i expect to meet April 30th deadline for responding RE TPAC participation
... hope to have a TF meeting as part of TPAC
... should start thinking about participating in Japan

<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to say we have transcript and a bug on EME and to

CN: If we have a PF meeting and the same time as a HTML meeting, most people in here are in both groups. Would need more coordination.
... may not be a need for a TF meeting if that is the case

JS: PF would probably meet at the same time as WebApps, not HTML

LW: RE: April meeting, Brian Kardell was interested in participating remotely to discuss panels. Wondering if that is a possibility?

PC: i would ask cynthia
... i can't see why not, all the rooms have the ability
... just need to setup zakim
... RE: conflicts with PF and HTML meeting times. If you think about it, a lot of the work is happening in task forces. I think we would have simultaneous TF meetings going on during the WG meetings
... can schedule TF meetings on Thursday afternoon. Should solve problems of overlap
... could be a conflict for people who are in multiple TF's

CN: That sounds like a great idea to me

PC: would be helpful to get a commitment from the TF for participation.

HTML AAM Publication Update -- Janina

JS: Slight delay in getting it published. Must get transition request in and approved, get announcement ready for FPWD. April 7 is the target date.
... i personally think that date is reasonable

PC: I agree

CfC on CfCs; Work Statement Update -- Janina, Chaals, Paul

JS: Waiting for some language from Chaals and some staff work from Liam. Then the WG can run it through their processes. Bringing this in sync with parent group operating procedures and cleaning up out of date references

Canvas 2D Level 1 Progress -- Rich, Janina

JS: I plan on informing the canvas-api list of the recent development with Chrome on implementation support.

Alt Doc Update -- Shane, Liam

JS: Next steps are to approve publishing this as the final publication. Start a call for consensus.

<liam> http://www.w3.org/2015/03/alt-draft.html

DM: is this document in sync with what is in HTML 5.0?

JS: What we discovered is that this doc fully mirrored what was in HTML 5 and didn't see a point in that, so we created a stub document that would allow us to park it permanently. Then any edits we want in the spec would be filed as bugs on HTML

<paulc> Do we have a list of filed bugs?

JS: I will try to get the CfC out today

PC: Do we have a list of the filed bugs on alt?

JS: do we have them filed

SM: not against HTML5

PC: are we going to move them off the alt doc component, move them to HTML5 component...

LQ: Create bugs against 5.1.

PC: ED will be used to describe the changes you want, like a written proposal

JS: I think we are looking for a coherent read from top to bottom, hard to do because the spec is so big

TF's EME Bug -- Leonie http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2015Mar/0076.html

<chaals> [+1

JS: there is a response from Media TF in response to the bug we filed. Leonie provided a nice summary. I think we are satisfied with response
... JF since the response was addressed to you, can you reply and thank them?

Tracking A11y Related Bugs -- Cynthia http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2015Mar/0075.html

JF: yes

JS: Cyns talked last week about how to track a11y bugs against IE. Reminded me that we don't have a formal process for doing such work for other UAs
... We used to have Bug Triage. I don't expect we need to reconstitute that at this point. Not a lot of bugs left. If we see this change, we may consider it.

<LJWatson> +1

JS: should use the TF call to handle it now. We should have a Wiki page to track issues against user agents, tracking support and implementation.

+1

<David> +1

scribe: Liam, can you set that up if everyone agrees?

LQ: anyone on the TF can create a wiki page

JD: I like the idea, conceptually. However, I feel like editing a wiki is a lot more work than is needed. Bugzilla has a feature to track bugs in other Bugzilla instances. Not sure how to set it up. Mozilla and Webkit both use Bugzilla. Not chrome though

BK: I think it would be valuable for developers (outside this group) to have access to this information, too.
... what has worked out really well for HTML5 is caniuse.com

<chaals> [chaals leaves]

<chaals> [+1 to bkardell]

BK: very popular reference for developers.

CS: does bugzilla allow tracking against other databases?

JD: other bugzilla instances, not others AFAIK

+1 for a caniuse for accessibility

<bkardell_> MarkS I can definitely reach out to them

JF: I reached out to caniuse.com a few years ago. they said they would be interested, but they would need someone to provide the entire dataset.
... at CSUN a couple years ago, we attempted to do this and while it got off to a great start, it lost steam

CS: I'm hoping our web driver work will help with that.

JS: can we start with a wiki page? Liam?

LQ: yes

WebVTT

JS: Need to look at WebVTT, more specificity on that. I know JF has some interest in that. I think we need more expertise. Perhaps we don't have to worry about depth as much as just what is covered, what is not

JF: I think I could do that in the next couple weeks. There is also a WebVTT2 that is being worked on. Provided by MediaLabs? I can take a look at it. I believe some representatives will be at the F2F in Seattle. Should be able to comment on it then

JB: What they are looking for from us is a review of their current draft, to make sure it satisfies MAUR

JS: not WebVTT2, just the current version

JB: yes

<paulc> Where is the TF wiki with the new features we want to work on?

<Judy> judy: Thierry Michel should be available for questions if needed while you're going through the MAUR & WebVTT review

JS: we can talk on Monday at Media a11y TF

JF: yes

SM: yes

<Judy> Thierry is staff contact for that WG

<liam> [ https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Browser_Bug_Trackers created ]

JB: suggest reaching out to Thierry if you have questions, and then potentially inviting him into a discussion if you identify gaps.

<janina> zkim, next item

TF Open Actions http://w3.org/wai/pf/html/track

JF: 7 open actions
... 3 past due
... Steve Faulkner about contacting James Nurthen re imagemaps
... next is on me

JS: reassign to me.

ACTION-308 reassigned to Janina

<JF> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/track/actions/308

... ACTION-189 on lang attribute and ACTION-204 are on Cyns, due next week
... last one is a proposal on menus, due later this year
