APA charter (due end of January)

https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/charter-2021/charter.html

BG: for charter we need to list all of our rec. track deliverables for the next two years; format is within the link above

LS: do we want to do a second module?

JS: we need to continue to list module 1 until it is complete
... brin module 1 to Rec. status

JF: is that the goal - are we going to rec. or CR - get all the way through in the next two years
... suggest get modules 2 and 3 into some kind of rec. track status

Roy: we do have FPWD of those two modules

JS: need to provide the basics and Michael will polish

LS: do we have people interested enough to implement the next two modules

JS: I think we believe publishing is a first rank consumer of these specs?

CL: yes, that is still an interest but focus more on audio and fixed layout

<JF> Module 2 and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/findable-help??

CL: most fixed layout books are childrens' or manga

<LisaSeemanKest> john...exactly

JS: need to come up with these soon, APA needs to have charter complete by end of January

LS: we need to reach out for implementations soon - we can ask for interest in module 2 and 3 as well
... first of year we need to find people for implementations of module 1; I have a few leads
... some legal problems in the large companies, if they know about it then they can potentially be responsible for implementing

CL: Maybe this needs to be brought up within the Accessibility TF of publishers working group; I can suggest a presentation about personalization to this group
... giving an internal presentation at Benetech this week, I'll show video demo and other high level info and will introduce other modules and ask for feedback

JF: looking at module 2 there are 2 types of help - there are types of help and values for help - there is loose assoc. back to WCAG 2.2 on findable help
... if author tags the help it can then be exposed by AT/extension and thus becomes findable
... what type of help can just be announced; but there is a potential fork; I would push for module 2; not so much for module 3 until WCAG 3

LS: mentions personalization videos and offers to be available for demo

<LisaSeemanKest> https://www.w3.org/2020/10/TPAC/apa-personalization.html

<LisaSeemanKest> has the video

CL: agree with JF, I believe module 2 has more potential than module 3; mod. 2 aligns with WCAG 2.2; believe we can get to CR in charter timeframe
... There are some DPUB aria roles but these types of help are in publication

Personalization video: https://www.w3.org/2020/10/TPAC/apa-personalization.html

Pronunciation video: https://www.w3.org/2020/10/TPAC/apa-pronunciation.html

JS: If we are not chartered for a rec. track doc. we can't work on it. Although I agree module 3 in the next 2 years is probably not likely

JF: but how do we keep module 3 in "maintenance mode"?

JS: we can put it in Note track for now

JF: we don't want to lose module 3 so need to make sure we keep it alive. Agree we should focus on module 2 for next charter timeframe but keep module 3 alive

LS: don't want to put things in our charter that we don't do. Can we just say research into module 2/3

<LisaSeemanKest> https://www.w3.org/2018/08/apa-charter

all: we all agree that we are way behind on content module

JS: keep a lifeline to module 3; will discuss at APA plan meeting;

JF: is it reasonable to take module 2 to CR in two years; believe it is a reasonable goal

JS: would feel better if we had representatives from browsers and more people from EPUB tools
... would also like to include low vision and other scope as we recruit

SS: def. finish module 1, keep making progress on 2, and keep module 3 "alive"

data-* vs. new attribute prefix and implementation plan

SS: discussion of using data- at CR

JS: Michael would prefer getting a WHAT-WG prefix before CR; and until we can show implementations we are unlikely to get a reserved prefix
... so implementations are key;

JF: perhaps extend invitations to others - James Craig, Alice B, Anne K, etc to attend a meeting so show the demos

JS: do we think the implementations are mature enough to go to WHAT-WG

JF: look to begin to coordinate a meeting in the new year
... I believe that our implementations using data- are sufficient

JS: I don't know if these are sufficient

JF: right, so this is a good reason to ask others

JS: do we need a meeting or is an email exchange sufficient?

SS: will take this up in January to get the ball rolling to look for a prefix and whether or not our current implementations are sufficient

Draft response to Alice on media queries and distractions - https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-personalization-tf/2020Dec/

<sharon_> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-personalization-tf/2020Dec/0006.html

JS: basically awknowledging Alice's input

CL: I did experiment with prefers reduced motion a bit but it didn't help on many webites

JF: There is also work to be done in the code; this is similar to providing alternative low band width images in the past; developer/author has to specify the no motion alternative for media queries to work

ss: are we okay with the response that Janina wrote? I can put this into issue 476
... I will handle putting the response in the issue

bg: audio or video example require JS

<sharon_> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-personalization-tf/2020Dec/0004.html

bg: not sure how to address? Is just a written exmaple with no code enough?
... reviews examples in the email

JF: not sure how an author can impact haptic feedback, that is more of a device feature

JS: there is a vibration api

bg: do we need to add audible, visual, haptic, other rather than just sensory?

SS: we have talked about that in the past; this would help distinguish from media queries

bg: are we okay not having code?

<JF> Notifications API (parent to Vibrations API): https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#alerting-the-user

JS: I think we are okay for now not having code (others agree)

JF: notification is scripted and there is a dictionary of notification options, etc
... we want the user to be able to request an alternative form of notification

JS: including map one kind into another

discussion of taking to ARIA but concern they will feel it is out of scope because it is not screen reader specific

ss: are these examples enough for now?

JS: yes, it is a step in the right direction, may want to beef up with code in future

bg: so, keep as just sensory for now?

CL: yes, believe so

bg: I will put this into a branch and pull request

JF: suggest including a ref. to notification spec.

No meeting on Dec 21 and 28
