16:15:15 [Gottfried]
Janina: Really hot braille display...
16:15:57 [Gottfried]
Rich: Pearson working on an editor for digital math, supports braille displays. Awesome.
16:16:33 [Gottfried]
... If the user can navigate a math equation via keyboard, math understanding increases by 10-15%.
16:17:24 [Gottfried]
Janina: American Printing House & NFB cooperation for braille display.
16:17:44 [Gottfried]
... Will be much cheaper than current devices, about $500.

agendum 4. "CSS Progress -- Rich, Cynthia, Michael, Leonie" taken up [from janina]
16:21:09 [Gottfried]
Rich: We asked them to deal with the interop issue, e.g. flex box, content injection. If it doesn't support accessibility, WCAG people will be forced to mark this technology as not accessible.
16:21:28 [Gottfried]
... Then it comes back to you - why didn't you make this accessible?
16:22:49 [Gottfried]
... Met with Rosson and Bogdan, CSS co-chair. Interop spec for CSS. Can we work on this together? How do we staff it? - Was a good meeting.
16:23:31 [Gottfried]
Michael: Called "CSS accessibility API mapping spec". Best practices doc is needed. They had agreed to work on this in the past.
16:24:45 [Gottfried]
... They told us it would be helpful to provide test cases demonstrating the concerns. We also talked of solving the navigation problem. Need to take a look at this from a broader perspective, across technologies (HTML, CSS, SVG).
16:25:28 [Gottfried]
... For flex-box issues and similar layout issues, we need the navigation problem solved. But cannot be done quickly. We might not be able to close this work before they close the specs.
16:25:59 [Gottfried]
... Joint tf between APA and CSS wgs? If CSS doesn't support this, we could create a CSS focus group ourselves.
16:26:29 [Gottfried]
Janina: Who could do this?
16:26:51 [Gottfried]
Michael: Cynthia? Bogdan?
16:27:27 [Gottfried]
... We need to help them understand the issues and to solve them. We need to provide resources for this.
16:27:44 [Gottfried]
Janina: How can we make them understand the problem?
16:28:01 [Gottfried]
Michael: Test cases.
16:28:26 [Gottfried]
... CSS flex-box is implemented, and we can easily demonstrate the problem.
16:29:05 [Gottfried]
Janina: Maybe Matt is interested in this?
16:29:34 [Gottfried]
Rich: The a11y tree needs to be reordered. With that they did not have an issue.
16:30:55 [Gottfried]
... They were reluctant to deal with keyboard tab index issues. They want tab index modifications be done by the author. Might be less problematic than restructuring the DOM. But the solution for tab index requires positive integers to change order. Very brittle solution. We need to go back and look at kb navigation again, also other types of input.
16:31:45 [Gottfried]
... Similar issues with SVG, directional navigation - not possible with tab index. Feature in XHTML was to build a link chain for focus navigation. We need to bring back this concept back.
16:32:09 [MichaelC]

16:33:07 [MichaelC]
ack me
16:33:09 [Gottfried]
Michael: I was referencing most of what you said. We keep referring to other groups to solve the problem.
16:33:53 [Gottfried]
... Rough plan was to start now with CSS a11y API mapping. Navigation issues need to be addressed likely in a separate document.
16:34:10 [Gottfried]
... Still need the people to work on this
16:34:40 [Gottfried]
Janina: Still concerned about whether CSS and other graphics people are fully convinced about what we talk about is a real problem.
16:35:05 [Gottfried]
... We need to illustrate the problem in a couple of test pages.
16:35:20 [Gottfried]
Michael: Issue of generated content not being exposed is already illustrated.
16:35:50 [Gottfried]
Fred: Talk to Matt and Brian?
16:36:02 [MichaelC]
s/Brian/Bryan/
16:36:33 [Gottfried]
... Show them how it impacts the user. Need the personal user experience and awareness of the issue.
16:36:50 [Gottfried]
Michael: Walk them through a demo file rather than just talking.
16:37:36 [Gottfried]
Janina: We can invite Bryan.
16:38:21 [Gottfried]
... Next steps are to draw Matt and/or Bryan into another conversation.
16:38:33 [Gottfried]
Michael: Cynthia should be involved as well. Also ARIA wg.
16:38:52 [Gottfried]
... Session in ARIA group on CSS.
16:39:05 [Gottfried]
Rich: Right now, don't have any room on our plates.
16:40:03 [Gottfried]
Michael: Suggest Cynthia starts the mapping, and ARIA should be informed that this would become a deliverable of them.
16:40:27 [Gottfried]
Rich: No time right now at all in ARIA, until ARIA advances.
16:40:56 [Gottfried]
Michael: Fair enough. What can we do on this from an APA perspective?
16:41:20 [Gottfried]
... Can we take this up in APA?
16:42:06 [Gottfried]
Janina: How can we avoid going silent on this? Let me see if we can talk with Matt and Cynthia next week. First step would be to demonstrate the issues.
16:42:27 [Gottfried]
... Put together some illustrations to keep activity happening.
16:42:39 [Gottfried]
Michael: Rosson was saying he would come back to this group.
16:42:49 [Gottfried]
... Willing to talk to us by end of this week.
16:43:29 [Gottfried]
... Should also inform WAI coordination committee (or similar name).

agendum 5. "W3C Spec Styling Issues -- Michael" taken up [from janina]
16:44:03 [Gottfried]
Janina: What is left over?
16:44:28 [Gottfried]
Michael: People weren't surprised by the styles. We need to sort out problems over time.
16:44:55 [Gottfried]
... In theory, they want to revise the styles annually. Both an opportunity to get improvements in next time, but also obligation to check things out next year.
16:45:18 [Gottfried]
Gottfried: Is there a process for us to check their styles before they go public?
16:45:34 [Gottfried]
Michael: Yes, there is a process. We missed it this time - wasn't well coordinated.

16:46:19 [MichaelC]
s/wasn't well coordinated/wasn't well coordinated on our end/
16:46:50 [Gottfried]
Janina: How can we work with our actions more cleanly?
16:47:06 [Gottfried]
... Suggest to make the action item reviews simply as pending/done etc.
16:47:32 [Gottfried]
... If people have finished their action items, they should send a message to the group, and i will then take it up for the agenda of the next meeting.
16:48:01 [Gottfried]
Gottfried: Good suggestion. Email with action item number gets recorded in the system.
16:48:19 [Gottfried]
Michael: People need to remember this.
16:48:50 [Gottfried]
Gottfried: Send automatic reminders?
16:49:47 [Gottfried]
Michael: Not a feature as far as i know. Could send a feature request. Also can get ennoying for authors.
16:50:05 [Gottfried]
Gottfried: Send an automatic email when the action item is created?
16:50:15 [Gottfried]
Michael: Yes, we can make this setting.
16:50:22 [Gottfried]
Janina: Good suggestion
