Task Force & Deliverables Updates
Pronunciation
<janina> term: heteronym
Irfan_: swapping time with APA. deliverables to share with ARIA working group, especially renders. updating gap analysis document with more use cases. decision made ot create a poll with properties and prioritizing the properties and going to ARIA.
rqtf
janina: continuing on various deliverables, nothing ready for CFC yet. SAUR focused on hyperlinks if we want to point to something, keeping things in their proper place.
personalization
Matthew_Atkinson: making progress towards resolving one blocking issue with i18n. about display of symbols in right-to-left languages. progress is being made. our demonstration/rendering is getting close to completion. still needs some tweaking. can send to other i18n chairs for review. only thing blocking CR
Matthew_Atkinson: feedback from AGWG to suggest we write one technique that would use personalization's attributes to help people implement and facilitate understanding.
FAST and Maturity Model Deliverables Update
janina: no news on maturity models since last week. proposal to APA without objection. should consider whether there are objections. not today, but soon.
Joshue108: discussing getting something ready to show. two documents we're working on. one is a matrix, one is a main outcomes document (taxonomy). now looking at finalizing. help validate approach for our work. hoping to have something to show in early March. something to show APA at the beginning but then AGWG later on.
MichaelC: might show APA and AGWG at the same time. might be APA that has more of a directive on it at the moment. draft published to TR.
janina: APA, then TR, then AGWG, then we can update the working draft
MichaelC: we need to publish the FPWD (first public working draft). FAST may be better for note track first.

Web of Things (WoT) "Middleware" Update -- Josh, Janina
janina: Josh and I need to find our last interaction with Web of Things
Joshue108: a "middleware" type of software that does technical mediation that can support people with disabilities. something here that needs to support user needs. profiling, sensory aware networks, etc. application (mobile app, etc.) can sit on top of a network and do some useful things for people with disabilities
Joshue108: app is front-end, however my conception of "middleware" is somewhat lower-level. need to get on the same page about definition.
janina: expound on use case. what I see all the time is "supported". the omission is there's an app in-between. it may be one, or many, companies with involvement.
janina: some things that claim support are not available. how do you know in advance that the app is accessible?
janina: other apps that claim support but it is not clear. "could" be supported is not sufficient
Joshue108: question is what to do at the moment
janina: look through and find our last interaction with them (remembering TPAC 2020). we shared comments in a document. was anything pulled out of that document? pushing us for cases.
janina: now we have accessibility use cases
Joshue108: we looked at the sensor stuff, home security systems, etc. variations of use cases. I'll follow-up with you Janina and we'll connect about this
<Matthew_Atkinson> Fredrik's email to the list on Matter: https://
Fredrik: seems that people are sitting around and talking about this and we need to connect with them. will send an e-mail to the list.
Matthew_Atkinson: put a link to the e-mail above
Dangling Spec Review Cleanup: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Category:Spec_Review_Assigned
<MichaelC> https://
MichaelC: web RTC swamped with deliverables. is there anything for them to work on?
janina: did you cover everything in HTML and in our AUR, my only question
janina: I don't recall what we would be looking for in an API
MichaelC: inclined to say let's close this then.
janina: same response with 4 of us that we can let it go
Matthew_Atkinson: seeing the spec, it mentions funny hats, virtual reality gaming, etc.
janina: it needs to mention our RTC accessibility user requirements
Matthew_Atkinson: sounds like it's lower-level. happy to defer to that
janina: would like to be able to send content separately to a Braille display and a screen reader
Joshue108: parallel conversation about attributes
janina: what may have happened is that no confirmation was sent that we're done working on this and need input
janina: need to send that over. how far away from a spec are they, Michael?
MichaelC: not sure. not clear what the timeline would be. last report is still working draft
MichaelC: can't answer that clearly at the moment
MichaelC: close this then?
janina: leave it open as we need to send chaser
Lionel_Wolberger: definition of "funny hats" is between end user consumption and author. how do we define this?
janina: let's see how Web of Things responds to the "middleware" term
