Meeting minutes

<LisaSeemanKest_> What can we close at https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%221%29+content+module%22

<Lionel_Wolberger> agenda: this

wording for note for internationalization . see thread at https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-personalization-tf/2021Apr/0008.html

<LisaSeemanKest_> Personalization notes that there is ambiguity regarding the formatting of language _value_. We recommend authors also confirm BCP47 in cases where this would not unnecessarily restrict user activity.

<JF> A HUGE -1 to that response. It is perpetuating the bad information

LisaSeemanKest_: Discussing tweaking this language further.

JF: Our work is not about output, it is about machine readable code that can be interpreted on the page

LisaSeemanKest_: Agree

JF: No reply from Addison

LisaSeemanKest_: Proposing: Personalization notes that this specification does not affect the values of the input.

JF: ... it is not intended to affect the output of the form.
… whatever goes into the form is the responsibility of the user, and the maker of the form.
… this is not the autocomplete issue (that has occupied us)

<LisaSeemanKest_> do a note or just resolve at issue level

<janina> +1 to including a note

<Matthew_Atkinson> +1 to including a note

+1 to including a note

<sharon> +1 to including a note

<becky> +1\

<JF> What does the note say?

<JF> include the note where?

<LisaSeemanKest_> in module 1

Matthew_Atkinson: Agree with becky, we are trying to be interoperable with autcomplete, so that's why we need the note
… ok to remove the extra 'value' word

JF: The attribute is purpose. The value is token. The token is, language.

<LisaSeemanKest_> Note: This does not affect the formatting of language. We recommend authors also confirm BCP47 in cases where this would not unnecessarily restrict user activity.

JF: the note can say, the token value does not mandate the use of the ISO language code

Note: This does not affect the formatting of language. We recommend authors also conform with BCP47 in cases where this would not unnecessarily restrict user activity.

<LisaSeemanKest_> Note: This does not affect the formatting of language value. We recommend authors also confirm to BCP47 if appropriate.

<JF> Note: the use of the language token DOES NOT mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string.

Note: This does not affect the formatting of language values. We recommend authors also confirm to BCP47 if appropriate.

Note: This does not affect the formatting of language values. We recommend authors also confirm to BCP47 when appropriate.

<LisaSeemanKest_> Note: This does not affect the formatting of language values. We recommend authors also confirm to BCP47 when appropriate.

Matthew_Atkinson: Instead of "formatting," try "outputting" ??

<LisaSeemanKest_> john: Note: the use of the language token DOES NOT mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string.

<LisaSeemanKest_> johns wording but not large caps

JF: Note: the use of the language token does not mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string.

<LisaSeemanKest_> +1 to becky

becky: when we respond to this open issue from i18n, we need to make sure that we add
… we think this is a larger issue (include reference to the WHAT-WG bug, and parts of JF's email) to indicate
… they have a country value, they need a language value to make it seperate.

JF: Let's draft that offline.

draft RESOLUTION: Adopt the above language for the note. After JF/Becky draft the email, we will send both the note and the email

<JF> draft RESOLUTION: add a note to our spec - "Note: the use of the language token does not mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string."

<JF> draft: ACTION: JF and Becky to work offline to draft a response to i18n noting issues and JF's email

<LisaSeemanKest_> draft RESOLUTION: Adopt the Note: the use of the language token does not mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string.language for the note. we will send both the note and the issue reference to what-wg to close issue

Resolution: add a note to our spec - "Note: the use of the language token does not mandate the use of BCP47 values: authors can request that or a simple text string."

Action: JF and Becky to work offline to draft a response to i18n noting what-wg issue and our note to close issue

<LisaSeemanKest_> next item

becky: Seems to be too many issues and choices.
… A link is a navigation to a new page. A button is an action on the same page.

<LisaSeemanKest_> https://raw.githack.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/rewrite-prototype/content/index.html#values

becky: Example: "help" is sufficient, "opens on page help" is not more informative.

<JF> +1 to Charles

becky: we can't say "opens" in an action list. "reveals", "navigates to", all these terms have potential alternative interpretations.

LisaSeemanKest_: three ways forward proposed
… (1) a minor tweak at the top of each attribute that clarifies that intent
… (2) rewrite (though we made that table to clarify this)
… (3) ignore it.

<LisaSeemanKest_> 1

<JF> 1 - this just needs some clarification

<LisaSeemanKest_> charles not sure

<JF> Note: the token value of 'help' can be applied to both a link and a button. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context.

<Matthew_Atkinson> I think it's mostly 1, but maybe a bit of 2 (depends on whether we keep/how we explain the distinction between action and destination [need more info])

LisaSeemanKest_: Put a clarification at the top between action and destination,
… Then address specific WCAG questions (e.g., those by Becky and Matthew)
… then give specific examples

JF: Agree a minor tweak will work here.
… Note: the token value of 'help' can be applied to both a link and a button. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context.
… Putting this in both places IMHO answers the specific question regarding 'help'

<becky> +1 JF proposal wording

<LisaSeemanKest_> Note: the token value of 'help' can be applied to both a link and a button. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context.

<LisaSeemanKest_> +1

<sharon> +1

<JF> +1

<becky> +1 repeating this for each of the duplicate values

<janina> +1

+1

becky: duplicate values: help, comment, feedback, etc.

<JF> +1 to "some values"

becky: or just say , some values can apply to both a link and a value
… cannot just put this on, 'help'

JF: Note: Some of these token values can apply to both a link and a button. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context.

<JF> draft: Note: Some of these token values can apply to both an Action and a Destination. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context.

becky: Put it at the top, or on each one as repeated.

+1

<LisaSeemanKest_> +1

draft: RESOLUTION: Put this note at the top of 3.1.1 and 3.1.2

<JF> draft RESOLUTION: add a note to both the Action and Destination sections - "Note: Some of these token values can apply to both an Action and a Destination. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context."

Resolution: add a note to both the Action and Destination sections - "Note: Some of these token values can apply to both an Action and a Destination. Content authors should choose the appropriate component in context."

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to note that the difference between a button and a link is mostly a concern for non-sighted users

Matthew_Atkinson: Regarding issue 66, there were many specific suggestions made
… how do we work, as a group, prior to the pull request review?

Matthew_Atkinson: ... How did we decide which things to put in the Action and Destination sections?
… dont mean to cause the group to revisit everything, but I am looking for clarification

Charles: the list was originally from COGA
… Regarding inconsistent hyphenation, put a new issue to cover that

Lionel_Wolberger: Can we consider putting a citation to help readers understand where the table came from?

Charles: The history is in github
… the first editor's draft may be informative

janina: Even if the list came from COGA, our concern is wider and includes sensory disabilities and more.

JF: Returning to the discussion of types of decorative images.
… can inform our list of distraction types
