Not sure if other things are needed to discuss with COGA. Anyone else? 14:08:08 ShawnL: I think it would be a good point to reach out to COGA to see where they are and talk to points they want to cover. 14:08:24 ShawnL: Action item to follow up with Rain on COGA topics. 14:08:38 Jeanne: Epub , APA is meeting with Epub and invites us to attend. 14:09:06 sajkaj has joined #silver 14:09:09 present+ 14:10:05 ShawnL: I know they have the Epub guidelines, not sure if they plan on rolling that entirely in. 14:10:07 q? 14:10:31 Janina: I don't think it is too early to cover these type of subjects or topics. 14:12:19 Janina: I think it may be useful and talk to how much time we spend on topic. There are a lot of registries, published in various places. W3 is not contemplating being a registry ... 14:12:44 ... Talks to pronunciation, etc. 14:12:52 Jeanne: This sounds specific 14:13:19 Janina: Yes, it is . Silver perhaps is interested in registries portion but perhaps not pronunciation 14:13:44 Jeanne: Who are the contacts? 14:14:25 Janina: Charles and DeVonish. If you wanted to write them and Cc me that would be great.. Deadline is late September . Benefit is to lock up early to get timeframes set. 14:14:52 Jeanne: I will let him know . 14:15:28 Janina: If they prefer, we can meet in a longer meeting if makes sense to APA, Epub , etc. 14:15:54 Janina: EO and glossary WAI topic is also a topic of discussion. 14:16:02 q? 14:16:07 Jeanne: I put it on agenda for EO 14:16:08 kirkwood has joined #silver 14:16:42 Jeanne: We have three topics for APA, component libraries, third party and protocols. 14:17:15 Janina: APA is expected to meet with Silver during TPAC during the two weeks, just not currently in the planning page. 14:17:44 Jeanne: Is Suzanne on call? Topic related to immersive captions ... 14:18:01 Jeanne: The XR group was working toward that but they aren't active . 14:18:13 Janina: Is JoshO on call? We just publisehed. 14:18:35 ShawnL: I think we should email them as they aren't on call. 14:18:36 q? 14:19:02 Jeanne: Do we have anything on internationalization ? 14:19:51 Janina: We are hoping to resolve before TPAC. It relates to personalization to a degree 14:20:10 Jeanne: On browser testing rules, I think we should have a discussion with them. 14:20:12 ? 14:20:17 q? 14:20:23 Jeanne: Is Wilco on call? 14:20:27 ShawnL: No. 14:20:40 Jeanne: Follow up with Wilco will be needed on browser testing. 14:22:02 Jeanne: On breakout sessions, method template, on writing for wcag 3, one is an intro to wcag 3 and latest updates and a maturity model introduction is also a topic . 14:22:41 Jeanne: Talks to bottom of page wiki page on reference points for TPAC, etc. 14:22:44 q? 14:22:49 Zakim, take up item 2 14:22:49 agendum 2 -- Approach to Publishing WCAG 3 survey -- taken up [from jeanne] 14:22:56 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/approach/ 14:23:38 ShawnL: Talks to survey on approach and process. We have conversation with chairs with what question 1 on survey outlines. 14:24:11 Question 1 was around issues and proposed solutions 14:24:46 So instead of quarterly public working drafts, we would do the work within editor's drafts 14:25:31 q+ 14:25:36 ShawnL: We want to hear your feedback , i.e. agree or agree with feedback, or you can disagree , etc. 14:25:45 Second question is other issues unaccounted for 14:25:47 q? 14:26:25 ack s 14:26:37 Janina: The survey pretty well describes the difficulties we are coming across. 14:27:25 present+ 14:27:47 The changes are massive. I'm not sure the solution is good as is. It is trying to redefine the role of an editor's draft and how it currently functions. I think updating editor's drafts is a very good idea. Understanding working drafts are drafts 14:28:48 Q+ to note that there is a difference between an Editor Draft and a Heartbeat publication 14:28:48 q+ 14:28:53 We need to find a way to have those be acceptable on a more regular basis for working drafts. Going to a new definition of what an editor's draft is would add more trouble than it solves across W3C 14:28:56 Q? 14:29:00 ack JF 14:29:00 JF, you wanted to note that there is a difference between an Editor Draft and a Heartbeat publication 14:29:04 qv? 14:29:41 I want to note that heartbeats can be published everyday 14:30:02 q+ 14:30:04 ack Chuck 14:30:05 JF: there is a difference between an editor's draft and heartbeat publication. Editor's draft could be updated daily, if applicable. Heartbeat is more hardened. Editor's are most current. When we had a different publishing system, they may have been more beneficial. 14:30:09 q? 14:30:30 s/I want to note that heartbeats can be published everyday/I want to note that Editor's Drafts can be published everyday 14:31:05 Do not edit my comment, JF. I meant what I said. 14:31:24 Chuck: Conversation is on the next AGWG call, I think each person could add tweaks that we could add to or remove from the topic in general. It is not that these were introduced recently , but they came to forefront last week. 14:31:29 q+ 14:31:35 q? 14:31:41 ack jeanne 14:32:33 Jeanne: I disagree with JF. I think the W3C has made it easier to publish working drafts . We have the ability to publish a working draft. W3C has encouraged through their own tools to publish more often. 14:33:07 AIRA in HTML has been publishing 4 to 6 a month. API , published 28 times. A lot of groups publish very often. 14:34:10 qv? 14:34:13 Jeanne: AC, Advisory Boards , all want more frequent publications. We can look at updating editors drafts but also do it with publications , doesn't have to be once a year. Not direction of modern W3C 14:34:32 ack sajkaj 14:34:39 Jeanne: I don't think we should stop frequent publishing. 14:35:51 q+ to ask Janina to share link to that process doc. 14:35:58 Janina: I searched for the term in process and don't see Heartbeat. There is a role for updated working drafts . They may or may not be on a heartbeat cadence. 14:36:35 Janina: We should also explore consensus and not unanimous agreement. 14:36:38 q? 14:37:01 q+ to reframe this discussion to help folks in this group understand the space so we can have this conversation on Tuesday 14:37:04 Respectfully: Revising a Working Draft A Working Group should publish a Working Draft to the W3C Technical Reports page when there have been significant changes to the previous published document that would benefit from review beyond the Working Group. If 6 months elapse without significant changes to a specification, a Working Group should publish a revised Working Draft, whose status section should indicate reasons for the lack of change. (source: htt[CUT] 14:37:15 What is behind it all, is what we want a working draft to show. 14:37:23 ack Chuck 14:37:23 Chuck, you wanted to ask Janina to share link to that process doc. 14:37:23 q? 14:37:31 source: https://www.w3.org/2020/Process-20200915/#revising-wd 14:37:41 https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Drafts/#registries 14:37:54 Chuck: can you point to the process document? 14:38:53 Jeanne: reads AWK's section 6.26 section. 14:39:02 ack Lauriat 14:39:02 Lauriat, you wanted to reframe this discussion to help folks in this group understand the space so we can have this conversation on Tuesday 14:39:07 q? 14:39:59 ShawnL: Can we timebox rest of conversation for 10 minutes as AGWG is talking to this on Tuesday. 14:40:15 Is there anyone on call that has questions on what the problem is that we are trying to solve? 14:40:26 q? 14:41:34 ShawnL: Any item preventing anyone from responding to survey? 14:41:45 q? 14:42:28 Rachael: It indicates we are trying to work through the process and that an editor's note is not able to handle the issue in entirety. 14:42:28 Bringing the survey link back, please fill it out for Tuesday's discussion! https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/approach/ 14:42:31 q? 14:43:08 Zakim, take up next item 14:43:08 agendum 1 -- TPAC -- taken up [from jeanne] 14:43:15 Zakim, take up item 3 14:43:15 agendum 3 -- Alt Text update -- taken up [from jeanne] 14:43:19 ShawnL: Two hour discussion with AGWG on Tuesday will review this very topic. 14:43:49 Images - WAI Tutorial https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/ 14:44:17 Makota: On alt text update , we are done with phase 1 . For the 4 types of images, we had methods in first public working draft. We reviewed WCAG 2.1 documents and added examples. 14:44:27 We updated these 4 methods https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG3/2021/outcomes/text-alternative-available 14:44:34 We now have updated version of methods (pastes link). 14:44:45 We are done with the methods. 14:45:50 Alt Text Subgroup - Silver Wiki https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Alt_Text_Subgroup 14:45:51 We've also built techniques for these . We used Google docs for our work. I think Jeanne is working on providing these in HTML5 templates. I will update our subgroups wiki with these documents. 14:46:42 In phase 2, we will add more examples and add, edit and modify to the future version of the working draft. 14:46:48 q+ to discuss scheduling when Makoto is finished. 14:47:27 An Alt Decision Tree https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decision-tree/ 14:48:10 The alt text guideline has seven methods on different types of images. It is not straightforward as to how to determine of which types of images . We used alt decision tree as a gateway of seven methods it would be helpful to use this , I'm not sure how to incorporate this into guideline structure of wcag 3 14:48:34 ack jeanne 14:48:34 jeanne, you wanted to discuss scheduling when Makoto is finished. 14:48:55 Jeanne: I want to apologize that we aren't able to discuss alt text changes on Tuesday of next week. 14:48:57 q? 14:49:09 Jeanne: it is still possible to get this into the next publication. 14:49:18 I think the decision tree is a great idea. 14:49:39 On redesign of outcomes , that is a great reference to work from. 14:50:19 As currently constructed, it could be in outcomes as it stands right now. 14:50:33 ShawnL: Also helps with ACT relationships 14:50:37 q? 14:50:48 Zakim, take up item 4 14:50:48 agendum 4 -- Issues -- taken up [from jeanne] 14:51:35 Jeanne: Issues topic - JF talked to the fact that issues that we are closing should tie to updates to wcag 3 . 14:52:59 Jeanne: if you could email me with closed issues, that would be helpful. Also, I am asking for helpful on management of issues within Silver. Open to help on managing it within Github. 14:53:07 JF: What would task be exactly? 14:54:03 Jeanne: Identify issues that are ready to close .

Making a follow up note to understand there is a change that is ready to be looked at. 14:54:34 Janina: On conformance, I will help with those items. Will point to user generated and outcomes , etc. 14:54:48 Q+ 14:55:20 Jeanne: I.e.

I think it is a useful . Can we talk to it offline ? I can help facilitate on specific tasks. 14:57:14 Jeanne: Yes, I will review concrete tasks and will follow up. 14:57:49 Jennifer S: I can help as well within GitHub in any way.
