Minor change to locators document. Ivan would you mind going over? 17:04:03 https://w3c.github.io/wpub-ann/ 17:04:22 Bill_Kasdorf has joined #pwg 17:04:24 Hadrien has joined #pwg 17:04:28 present+ Heather_Flanagan 17:04:41 present+ 17:04:49 q? 17:05:51 marisa has joined #pwg 17:05:58 q+ 17:06:02 Ivan: It's minor, I've sent an email around earlier today. Based on the vote we had - the name has changed. So did the short-name and repository name. If you have your local copy - be careful, but github should redirect. What Tim did before making the change is taking the issues around fragment ID we had this discussion that fragment ID would only make sense with a package, but we don't have 17:06:02 a package yet. What Tim did was add an editorial note to make it clear that if we don't have our own package and don't have a media type, this section is moot and will be removed. With that, I have finalized all three documents - they are ready to go for a first public working draft. Unless there is an objection on this call, I'll put in the request for publication. 17:06:05 ack timCole 17:06:19 present+ timCole 17:06:19 present+ Hadrien 17:07:03 Tim: Ivan got it right. One more thing: there were a couple of issues raised last week. One had to do with the defintion of selectors not being a normative definition of the term which CSS established. Not sure if it has any implications,, but we had a link to that issue in the draft with and editors note saying that things may change if that issues is addressed. The main thing is about changing 17:07:03 the name and cleaning up the loose ends. 17:07:06 Tzviya: Comments? 17:07:23 ...: OK - we assume people are ready to publish as is and we'll be looking for feedback. 17:07:32 Topic: Approval for self-publishing process 17:07:42 https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/publ-wg/Misc/publishing 17:07:57 ...: Admin note: we hope to move forward with a self-publishing process after we get through this first round of publishing. We just need approval from the group. If you haven't read this, please do. 17:09:37 Ivan: The consequences for the group - as you've seen, we've had to go through lots of effort to do the first publication. But, once we are beyond that hurdle, and we set up the necessary background for publishing, what happens is that we can publish as often and easily as we want. We can publish a new version every week. I think it's good to be able to publish when it gets to a new equilibrium 17:09:37 point. This means that the public will always see the latest release. The technology also to say that we prepare the document and merge it to a specific branch on Github, and from there on, it automatically takes that and publishes. For that to happen, we have to go through this 'publish often' approach, so there is need for an approval. the high-level goal is good. 17:09:43 +1 17:09:47 +1 17:09:49 +1 17:09:50 +1 17:09:51 +1 17:09:52 +1 17:09:52 +1 17:09:52 -+1 17:09:54 +1 17:09:54 Tzivya: with that, we just need approval from the group. +1, -1 or 0 17:09:54 +1 17:09:55 +1 17:09:56 +1 17:09:57 +1 17:10:01 +1 17:10:01 +1 17:10:12 +1 17:10:14 rkwright_ has joined #pwg 17:10:14 q+ 17:10:19 +1 17:10:23 +1 17:10:27 +1 17:10:28 q? 17:10:28 +1 17:10:32 RESOLVED: the group agrees to go for the self-publishing process 17:10:35 +1 17:10:43 ack NickRuffilo 17:11:01 +1 17:11:06 nick: Why not? 17:11:13 Ivan: some groups want tighter control over things. 17:11:14 +1 17:11:15 laurentlemeur has joined #pwg 17:11:16 +1 17:11:31 Topic: ARIA Overview 17:11:47 https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/ 17:11:59 tzviya: next item: you might have seen the announcement of several ARIA specs. Link above. 17:12:24 What is AAM? 17:13:07 BenSchroeter has joined #pwg 17:13:10 present+ 17:14:21 https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2015/01/the-browser-accessibility-tree/ 17:14:32 ...: Here's a quick overview: ARIA (accessibly rich internet applications) was written not very long ago to bring information to any language for accessibility - assistive technology. it can provide information to the accessibility tree (which some of us don't know exists). You have the HTML object model, then in parallel is an accessibility tree that is provided to accessibility applications 17:14:32 . There are even accessibility APIs that feed into applications that need. The most important thing to be aware of is that if you don't use ARIA, HTML has native semantics. For example, all HTML elements have native semantics... 17:14:48 https://www.w3.org/TR/using-aria/ 17:15:23 https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/ 17:16:06 https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/ 17:17:28 ...: There are a few documents put together by ARIA working group - step by step instructions on how to use ARIA. The second one will show you the native semantics for an aside - so if you go to the table, you'll see an aside has native ARIA attributes. That is the first and most important thing to know about ARIA, is that there is much that is implicit. What we did for EPUB aria, we added some 17:17:28 richer semantics to add some semantics but it was never really picked up by accessibility technologies. We then widdled that terminology down to what was more useful. Then we added prefixed-terms to ARIA - so that it would be distinct from the core ARIA tech. There were 20 terms that were added. Many asked how to use - and we provide code examples through the document. 17:18:43 q+ 17:18:59 http://kb.daisy.org/publishing/ 17:19:01 http://kb.daisy.org/publishing/ 17:19:11 ack Bill_Kasdorf 17:19:12 ...: Then there is a box below every code sample that shows all the ARIA role states and properties associated. I could go into more, and I did a sample webinar to talk about selecting the right items for each element. You should check out the super-class role. That will tell you more information. I could go on for alot longer, and this would be very beneficial for people in the broader 17:19:12 publishing role - and provide more of a broader definition. I believe Matt has put these in the DAISY knowledge base. And that's a basic 101 - we've extended the ARIA vocabular with terms useful for publishers and assistive technology 17:19:18 Bill: Do you want to comment on ARIA labels? 17:19:27 Tzviya: ARIA label is part of the core... 17:19:36 Bill: it provides a label that is not a heading that appears in the text? 17:19:43 Tzviya: it can do many things... that's just one it can do... 17:19:52 Bill: the abstract says it does that... 17:20:19 present+ mattg 17:20:22 present+ Bill_Kasdorf 17:20:23 Matt: It's probably because it doesn't have an explicit heading. The ARIA label is meant to have a name for that section. 17:20:31 Bill: that is what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure I picked it up 17:20:43 Tzviya: That could be seen as a bit misleading - as it seems required... 17:20:43 q? 17:20:51 ...: Questions? 17:21:08 ...: Would you appreciate a deeper dive? 17:21:11 +1 17:21:14 +1 17:21:18 +1 17:21:22 +1 17:21:32 +1 17:21:53 Nick: Would love something recordable 17:22:40 George: our reading-system testers (as we try to crowd source) it would be great for them - so they can understand the relationship between the content, the ARIA markup, and the reading experience that you end up getting so we can provide feedback to AT developers and reading system people. 17:23:40 Talk to everybody next year! 17:23:59 Topic: next steps 17:24:26 Tzviya: Congrats to everyone - there was alot of work that went into things. But lets ask - what did we do well, what can we do better - and where are we going? 17:25:59 q+ 17:25:59 ...: I would love to hear what we could do better. There are a few active & vocal people - and there are quite but have important things to say. IRC is a little scary - even our guide to newbies is a little scary. Possibly the best thing we could do for new members - "here's how to do IRC..." If I understand feedback - if you want to respond, here's your opportunity. 17:26:23 IRC isn't scary, but it's wildly different from the way any other organization actually takes notes and interacts. Folks who didn't use this in college have a learning curve just to start this. 17:27:22 ...: It's good for us to be more welcoming to new and different voices. If you have an idea on github, please express it, but you need not repeat it. Clarification is good, but try not to say things over and over. We do not have lots of examples - there was lots of good that comes from the diagram that was provides. People love to see samples and examples. 17:27:23 q+ 17:27:59 ack dkaplan3 17:28:09 q- 17:28:19 q- 17:28:21 q+ 17:28:29 ack wendyreid 17:28:35 present+ wendyreid 17:29:23 +1 to Wendy's suggestion for brief summaries of the IRC discussion 17:29:23 Wendy: As a new member - who is trying to keep on top of things - the github is very large and hard to keep on top of. Something that might help less-technical people is to have some summaries - 'what is web publications' 'what are we working on right now', so when someone like me goes to the github or goes to the draft, we have more context 17:29:26 q+ 17:29:35 Tzviya: every week Ivan sends a summary of the meetings - do you find that helpful? 17:29:37 q+ 17:29:37 wendy: yes 17:29:46 ack jbuehler 17:30:46 q? 17:30:48 +q 17:30:55 Jeff: From my standpoint as a new member, I don't have difficulties with the tech, but there's a huge amount of information. So much of information pre-exists my joining - so 85-90% i know nothing about, so it feels appropriate to sit back and learn and get context. My co-workers would be surprised to hear that I have nothing to say. Just wanted to add that. But that's not unusual 17:30:56 ack wolfgang 17:31:54 wolfgang +1 17:32:23 Wolfgang: If you follow github conversations - so much are quoted - and you cannot read all the specifications, because it would take days. So to say 'i would use this term' you should give a short quote or description to get some context - otherwise it's difficult to join in the discussion because readers might lack the context. You shouldn't have to read large amounts of spec to understand 17:32:23 one or two terms - as not all specs have a definitions section with short explanations. For example - cross references. 17:32:36 q? 17:32:40 ack jasminemulliken 17:34:46 Jasmine: I'm one of the new people. I really think things are well organized, and I've gone throught he documents. I haven't gone through github because I don't know where to start and I'm not experienced with it. It might also be helpful in terms of context - it might be useful as to what still needs to be done, and what tasks we might consider contributing to. I've brought up on the email 17:34:46 some conversations I've had, or conversations some of us can have - things like DOIs and being able to assign a DOI for a single page... I am all over the place but I'm trying to go through all the points in the email thread. Just having some sort of context as to where people need to contribute to... Maybe that would be a good place for new people... 17:34:47 q+ 17:35:40 Tzviya: Makes alot of sense - somebody else suggested having a newbies checkin every once in a while. But I do think that would be a good way to do it - and if you're not familiar with github. In github there are issues. If an issue is still open, that means it hasn't been addressed yet. 17:35:43 ack NickRuffilo 17:36:44 qq_= 17:36:46 q+ 17:37:33 ack dkaplan3 17:37:42 Nick: Maybe have a list of open tasks that people can take - are issues the right place? 17:40:14 Deborah: I think i've heard this reflected - it took me a while once I heard lots of wise experts with expertise - everything we do and everything we talk about touches these disperate fields. Everyone has expertise. Some have written specs, but we're all here because we have expertise. I've been on both sides - guilty of being wise or feeling guilty. From this corner of field knowledge - 17:40:14 knowing something detailed (in my case, accessibility) but I may not know much about locators... We have all different kinds of expertise and it's important to remember that just because we know one thing well, doesn't mean we understand the important aspects of everything. And anyone with confidence questions, you're here because you're good at this. It's OK to not know something, and to ask 17:40:15 for clarification. 17:40:23 <3 17:40:36 ...: Even if there are experts hashing things out, if you have a different viewpoint, it's good to bring it up 17:40:38 Thanks, Deborah! 17:41:01 Thanks, Deborah, I feel the same 17:41:16 q+ to ask some more questions 17:41:19 Tzviya: As for DOIs and google scholar, bill - feel free to start that discussion, even if it doesn't end up as something this group can do. 17:41:21 ack dkaplan3 17:41:21 ack ivan 17:41:22 ivan, you wanted to ask some more questions 17:41:28 q- 17:41:58 sorry, I have to drop off early. happy new year! 17:42:24 Ivan: I have questions that are maybe a little less on the tech side - are there problems that people experience with the way we interact on various aspects. I think on this meeting, wolfgang and I were the only two people who were not-native english speakers. Is this a problem? Can we do something about it? There might be other communication issues that are not on the technology side. 17:42:47 Tzviya: It's an important question - we have some late-callers from Asia. How does gotomeeting work? Accessibility? 17:42:48 q+ 17:43:03 I use Skype out to call in go to meeting 17:43:13 ack jbuehler 17:43:27 Jeff: If I want to make a comment on IRC - you can type /me 17:44:02 q+ 17:44:10 ack Jun 17:44:30 trouble with gotomeeting 17:44:59 I just wanted to say the IRC is very very helpful 17:45:13 thank you so much! 17:45:32 q? 17:46:06 I am hearing 17:46:10 Tzviya: I appreciate the feedback and welcome more feedback over email or carrier pigeon. I think we've done sufficiently in this meeting. But lets talk about next steps. We've talked about the problems 17:46:11 q+ 17:47:02 ...: I've seen other groups with projects in github to see what people are worked on. I'm intriqued about having a new-member meeting. And see if some of the new member documentation can be reworked... 17:47:02 q+ 17:47:06 ack NickRuffilo 17:47:17 q+ 17:48:02 https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/publ-wg/WorkMode/#information-for-newbies--new-group-members 17:48:05 ack ivan 17:48:18 Nick: A guide for new members 17:48:23 Tzviya: We have that - link above 17:50:00 Ivan: We can more systematically - in github - assign issues to specific person or several person. We haven't really used that, but maybe we should to make it clear what issues are being worked on and what are not. That is halfway down what was asked - but it would help. The other thing - to which I didn't really get an answer, from my non-english point of view. Even I - who have worked for 17:50:00 a long time - have difficulty when a native english speaker is set to a really high gear. Maybe not Tim Burners Lee - but it can be hard for me to follow. That is something I could ask all our colleagues to be watchful of that. 17:50:19 s/Bur/Ber/ 17:50:29 Tzviya: Saying slow down is sufficient. 17:50:42 q+ 17:50:47 ack wendyreid 17:50:50 ...: There is a working group effectiveness taskforce - there was a list of items, and speaking slowly is one of them. 17:51:09 laurentlemeur has left #pwg 17:51:28 s/Burners/Berners 17:51:37 Wendy: What Ivan just said - and Nick with the issues - some way of assigning the issues, or bringing up a list of issues that are assigned/unassigned, being able to quickly see that there are items I can jump on will help me. 17:51:39 ack wolfgang 17:51:47 Tzviya: Once we get this published, everything is available again. 17:52:34 Second "help wanted" 17:52:37 Wolfgange: Github has a diff-view, so there's lots of difficult-to-read. So if it was just vanilla HTML, it would be much easier to read. But in the usual github view, you see the red and green parts, but it's difficult to follow that up as sometimes the content requires scrolling, making it hard to read. 17:52:52 s/Wofgange/Wolfgang/ 17:53:16 Wolfgang: if it was just ordinary HTML, it would be easier to read. 17:53:28 q? 17:53:30 Tzviya: You have the option of viewing it that way. As dave is commenting, it's built-in to github 17:53:54 q+ 17:54:19 ack ivan 17:54:27 if people ask github or git questions on the mailing list there's a fair number of us who spend all day in github and can probably answer them there. :) 17:54:53 Ivan: What we do have is a tool that a former colleague did - is that when we do a pull request, after a certain while, the first comment will show you a link to a diff and a link to a preview. The new version will be displayed, and the diff will give you one file that is annotated on what has changed. I found that stuff extremely useful (usually) 17:55:10 you can use many git apps to display diffs in your ui of choice. You need to find the right ones for your platform. 17:55:40 Ivan: It puts lots of effort on editors to create their own custom diff, but we have programs that work reasonably well enough. 17:55:47 github is just built on git, so everyone can probably find a git tool for your computer that makes them happiest! :D 17:55:50 ack ivan 17:55:54 Ivan: lets see what we can do to improve it, but we don't control everything 17:56:47 Tvziva: Any other comments to make us a happier group? 17:56:57 http://irisamelia.com/impostor/GGD_Impostor-Talk.pdf 17:57:32 Omg this is awesome! 17:57:55 Thanks, Tzviya, for sharing that :) 17:58:34 dkaplan3 has left #pwg 17:58:35 Happy Holidays! 17:58:37 Happy holidays! 17:58:42 clapierre has left #pwg 17:58:49 JunGamo has left #pwg 17:59:09 scribejs, set jasmine Jasmine Mulliken 17:59:09 scribejs, set Deborah Deborah Kaplan 17:59:09 scribejs, set Jeff Jeff Buehler 17:59:18 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:59:18 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2017/12/18-pwg-minutes.html ivan 17:59:44 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:59:44 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2017/12/18-pwg-minutes.html ivan 17:59:44 zakim, bye 17:59:44 rrsagent, bye 17:59:44 I see no action items 17:59:44 leaving.
