<janina> https://
janina: a new calendaring tool is available
… integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook
… at some point we should review the a11y of this tool

paul_grenier: Under working groups are accordions, under accordions there is a calendar tab, took some digging.
janina: It's new
… in beta
becky: login, look on left hand side of the profile page, there is a my calendar section

Task Force Updates: COGA -- Lisa
janina: Welcome, Lisa
<LisaSeemanKest> https://
LisaSeemanKest: COGA is asking to publish "Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities"
… this is a note, not a specification
… scenario: I've got a website and I want to include people with cognitive and learning disabilities
… this document will help
… not intended for legal compliance assessment, but meant as an actionable document
… started by looking at research into an array of very different disabilities (learning, cognitive, intellectual, early stages of dementia)
… a lot of this research was behind paywalls, so we had assistance from University personnel
<JF> I'm love, love, LOVING the pesonas: https://
LisaSeemanKest: asking APA to publish this as a note
… might be a version 2 in future
… that would include mental health, artificial intelligence
… impact of different languages (feedback from i18n)
… next version would include co-morbidity (when a person has two problems)
janina: lets not allow the perfect ot be the enemy of the good-enough
LisaSeemanKest: We may have some proofreading needed, editorial review
janina: there will be a call for consensus in the next hour
Lionel_Wolberger: (sees some funny characters on this line, to "the driver's side" or "the East Wing".)
<LisaSeemanKest> yes, that is what we were talking about
JF: Super +1 to including the personas
<becky> +1 on JF comment on the great personas
davidfazio: this is very useful to functional needs
<joconnor> Also congrats on the personas
<Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to say AG CfC delayed, best to do in parallel
MichaelC: The AG call for consensus is going to be delayed, so APA CFC may need to be held off
Lionel_Wolberger: (asks davidfazio-- what is your handle in this IRC chat?)
Lionel_Wolberger: Fazio_ : I see Fazio now, ignore.
JF: Personas are so helpful to bring people gently to "things they dont know", they break down barriers
<FredrikFischer> +1 on the personas. Brilliant!
Fazio_: I have seen these personas taken up already, so they are helping.
janina: Personas are particularly important when disabilities are "hidden"
Lionel_Wolberger: We have sought out a PTSD persona, and found it hard to find, partially because the vulnerable population itself often denies having the issue
LisaSeemanKest: A lot of people hide COGA-related disabilities, particularly at work
… cultural issues are relevant
Lionel_Wolberger: shout out to becky , can you take over scribing
<Lionel_Wolberger> Lionel_Wolberger: thanks Becky! see y'all soon
<FredrikFischer> I'd also like to submit myself for COGA consideration if possible.
paul_grenier: just a reminder that sleep deprivation and other "common" issues does affect mental health
LisaSeemanKest: yes there is an overlap
janina: there will be a cfc soon
Task Force Updates: Other TF
janina: anything from other task forces? ... nothing heard so moving forward
FAST Progress
MichaelC: Silver TF restarted functional task force, looking at user needs, Josh has updated list of user needs at a high level - will cycle through the functional tf and then back to silver
MichaelC: for feedback before encorporating into FAST

MichaelC: issues about meetings; were discussed these at RQTF
MichaelC: if we track these, we could hold up WCAG 3 moving forward until we respond
janina: expect a quick resolution within weeks via RQTF
MichaelC: will need to circle back when we have a response to the above
<MichaelC> https://
MichaelC: CSS fonts - advance override details
ian: I looked at this last week; No concerns from me, has to do with font shaping at the font level; nothing will override user preferences; it adds additional ways of displaying fonts
janina: want to consider further; reference at silver call to bbc research into the usability of fonts
IanPouncey: more result presented at conf. last week - result was there is no really best guidance - everything is individualized; this spec doesn't override any set user preferences
<JF> I believe the 'expert' Janina is referencing is Bruno Maag, Typeface Designer at Dalton Maag, who did work for BBC, and as Ian notes, continues to do so
MichaelC: just recently CSS decided to drop the advanced override feature, are we still okay with that
LisaSeemanKest: people have used extension to put your own css on the page; I think we want to promote user preferences - these can make the page more readable for the person;
ian: this just allows an adjustment at the font level - you can still make font adjustments via user preferences
IanPouncey: this override is not about user preferences, it is overriding the settings within a font definition
Janina: want to defer further discussion on the override user preference - this doesn't seem to be the specification. for that
<Fazio_> +1
LisaSeemanKest: need to be aware of movement when font is changed
IanPouncey: that is not part of this spec.
Janina: okay to pass on this
new on TR http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-drafts.html
TR was taken up above under horizontal review
Actions Checkin (Specs) https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/track/actions/open
janina: John F from last week #2284
JF: no action this week
JF: the notion of label has been introduced within the image - rather than alt; we need to make sure that label info is included into the a11y tree
APA Manifest Comment Response https://github.com/w3c/manifest-app-info/issues/29
becky: we had a comment with a CfC that Paul did for Web Manifest
we've received a response and they have a pull request for our first issue, but they are "on the fence" on the second issue
not sure we want an actual "description" field
PG: the label = the Accessible Name, but we also need the ability for an Accessible Description
so perhaps we can clarify the comment for a clearer response
