Meeting minutes
<PeterKorn> https://
<PeterKorn> @Jeanne - I made a bunch of edits to Janina's first "Editor's Note" in the first section of the page, trying to speak to issues raised by Cybelle and others, that I'm not particularly happy with. they need more work.
<PeterKorn> I wanted to bring your attention to them, to note this text is very much a work in progress.

pk: presents background ...
Makoto: agrees with general notion that a site doing most/all of what it can should at least score some minimum
jeanne: suggests avoiding scoring values for now
Makoto: agrees -- talking about scoring at this time would make things more complicated
Makoto: offers to review existing methods from atag and come up with a "to do" list
Makoto: provide popup prompt, help, etc
Makoto: once we've created the list, we can order it into steps
PeterKorn: or, more sensible to say "text alternatives prompted for: ..."
PeterKorn: and a separate collection of things to do
jeanne: notes outcome is that it is or isn't available, methods do the inner steps
sajkaj: suggests the outcome "exiswts" would pass bad alt text as well as good?
PeterKorn: do we ask for it as part of the flow? provide guidance on what constitutes good, etc; but not require that the user actually enters something
jeanne: agrees strongly -- we discussed in atag
PeterKorn: so "ext alt available" may not be correct in practice
jeanne: in this case it would mean "text alternative mechanism available"
PeterKorn: so we would have one or more callout under outcomes for ugc
jeanne: points to text alternative editable as the place for ugc
PeterKorn: text alternative method available
jeanne: could actually rename ...
PeterKorn: makes sense
Makoto: will review this method and suggest next steps
jeanne: please feel free to stage whatever you think, makoto!
sajkaj: asks about functional breakdown, e.g. decorative, functional vs informative, etc
jeanne: not yet; we can ednote and ask for feedback
Makoto: will also share this topic with ta group
PeterKorn: suggests making changes in the wcag draft and ping when ready for review
PeterKorn: confirms we're aiming still at august wd
jeanne: certainly hope so, noting it's late, but maybe
