Discuss meeting schedule over holidays

sh: should we meet Jan 6 or also sometime in the next 2 weeks

sc: Jan 6 with asynchronous tasks for the meantime

todd: will be gone from Dec 28 to 5
... 5 Jan

sh: let's do next meeting Jan 6 and async work in the meantime
... I will still work tomorrow and available on the chat

Discuss scope statement activity and make a plan and timeline (to present Jan 8)

sh: formal structured scope statement

<sarahhorton> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Error_Handling#Project_Definition

<sarahhorton> Link to the scope statement work description: https://public.3.basecamp.com/p/z24UZtTAFrMqUxgm2To27NsW

sh: any questions on the scope or charter?
... deadline is Jan 8 for presenting

sc: Is it going to deviate from the initial plan?

st: concern was that the scope was too broad
... because our scope included preventing errors
... sarah and charles pointed out that we are focused on preventing errors so we don't just focus on when you've made the error

sh: lots of different ways to manage errors
... would rather start with a broader scope and narrrow it down
... would need something succint

st: I could write a first draft

RESOLUTION: Suzanne to write first draft, share on basecamp and present on Jan 8

Touch base on Error Flows Inventory and Examples of Error Flows work

sh: continue to use the error flow inventory as inspiration for the guidelines document

Review and discuss User Needs Summary draft (to be shared at meeting)

sh: adding screenshots of error flows in the screenshot document

<sarahhorton> Error User Needs Worksheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BEzSKUsoMQZAwLY5uM5T4Jk7vqKruQT8EaheijQJ7nk/edit#gid=0

sh: notion of an action, outcome, which functional needs and which accessibility needs apply

<sarahhorton> Errors User Needs Summary: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mTrr0hSsQrApmC4N0tF4fQOF-PiLsK-FNZproi7WQcA/edit#

this document takes the flows and surfaces user needs and unique needs

sh: within an action, there might be multiple outcomes

st: do we have new error flows, should we be filling them out in the inventory document or in the sheet?

sh: at some point we will become more targeted but still good practice to add in the inventory document
... maybe not is too much detail but just so we have them accounted for

st: how will this inventory document translate to the sheet?

sh: rich source of content in the inventory document when it comes time to write the guidelines

st: add different user needs if we come across new ones in a more distinctive ways

sh: add screenshots and small notes on error flows we come across in the wild

sc: next action item?

sh: action-outcome and grouping them with the system action
... walking through an example of how to map them
... will finish error messages

someone could take input labels and instructions

sh: I will make the sheets with 2 examples each
... we can each then take a sheet

Discuss upcoming project work and milestones

sh: how about the end of Jan to have the summary ready to share with the task force - Part 1. Define user need

st: is it supposed to be in a publishable format or a working document
... longer approach or the more aggressive schedule?
... March?
... right now it's brainstorming, but we'll have more debate

sh: our task is to get it to the first public draft so we can collect those opinions
... end of june for everything?
... of error related guidelines
... June it is!
