First focus on upfront, then content structure, page, headings, paragraphs. Then links and how to write link text... 16:16:43 ...thinks that are under author responsabilities, then alt-text and images and how to write alt-texts. We may want to get into details... 16:17:41 ...then much the same with multimedia and the six module talks about instructions, messages for errors. This might be an overlap with a modules from the designers... 16:18:10 ...I am looking now for first impressions and what might be overlapping. 16:19:06 Carlos: Not really sure if this is what you are asking for. My first comment would be what the users of this curriculum would be looking for... 16:20:00 ...I only found this in multimedia. This is only my initial thought and putting in open. Should we address this? 16:20:07 q+ 16:20:43 ...I would start with structure and then thers. Links are focused on text links and non text links should also be provided by content authors... 16:20:57 ...these are only my initial thoughts. 16:21:48 Daniel: The first point is very relevant. Is this the best structure within the modules? That's a good suggestion. We may move to a more content based structure. 16:21:53 ack bre 16:22:21 present+ 16:23:11 Brent: I agree with Carlos. It is important to group thinks together and ask content writers to know how to group the different elements in the modules... 16:24:12 Daniel: I used a UC as an inspiration. For me the first think that they have to know is how to structure a document. That's the rationale behind... 16:24:29 ...I see Carlos point and see if we have to group them differently. 16:25:01 Gerhard: +1 to Carlos and Brent. For me an important point missing is E2U. 16:25:04 q+ 16:25:12 q+ 16:25:39 Daniel: Yes this is something missing that I want to address later on. 16:26:09 q+ 16:26:30 ...we need to discuss how to approach this. I was thinking on a separate module on this issue. 16:27:00 scribe: CarlosD 16:27:15 estella: +1 to Carlos 16:27:44 estella: additionally to the easy to read requirement, it is also needed to consider transcriptions 16:27:57 ack estel 16:28:11 estella: we are also missing color contrast, which is also relevant to content authors 16:28:34 Daniel: This is something that we can address later on. 16:28:36 scribe: estella 16:30:17 estella: this module also applies to people who own a personal website... we need to consider these users, that do not work with developers and designers 16:30:27 present+ 16:30:53 ... they will need to know to measure the color contrast 16:31:05 ack bri 16:31:10 Daniel: Which type of author are we addressing is something that we may have to discuss also. 16:32:10 q+ to ask what different organization might be? 16:32:20 Brian: To me it makes sense to have an introductory module on how address the language and good writing techniques. From general into specifics. 16:32:21 q+ 16:32:44 slewth has joined #wai-curricula 16:32:45 Daniel: I understand the point of an introduction module. 16:32:48 q+ 16:33:09 ack dav 16:34:12 David: Couple of additional observations it that module and topics are more specific than in other curricula. I am also wondering if we are missing tables or other problematic content... 16:34:35 ...text alternative for complex graphics or mathematical content. 16:35:10 Daniel: I was struggling myself with the page titles. Type content based would be a good solution. 16:35:20 ack shaw 16:35:20 shawn, you wanted to ask what different organization might be? 16:35:23 q- 16:35:54 q+ 16:36:06 Shawn: I was wondering about the recommendation of content based type and would like to know if anybody has an idea. 16:36:38 Carlos: I should give a thought. 16:36:55 Daniel: I also have a difficulty on this. 16:37:22 ack howar 16:37:22 Daniel: I would have to give it a thought. 16:38:09 ack es 16:38:10 Howard: Making writing understandable should also be explored. 16:38:12 q- 16:38:27 ack sle 16:39:42 Sarah: I agree with the different points. I wonder also about labelling, maps and other different issues. Maybe grouping content might be useful... 16:40:03 ...having an overarching introduction and then go into more detail. 16:40:47 Daniel: We need to restructure. Since we have too many different type of audiences we may need to know how to approach this. 16:40:51 q+ 16:41:26 estella: an issue relevant to content authors is the use of inclusive language 16:42:26 dmontalvo: That would fall under a module about language 16:42:55 ... I'm not sure if this is going over the current accessibility requirements we have 16:43:35 q? 16:43:48 ack ste 16:43:56 ack est 16:44:48 zakim, take up next 16:44:48 agendum 3 -- Author versus writer -- taken up [from dmontalvo] 16:45:00 Daniel: Thanks for the thoughts. We will need to see how to address inclusive language and also plain language or easy to read 16:45:30 www.w3.org/WAI/curricula/ 16:46:34 Daniel: We had different ideas about content authors, should we use this term. In WCAG content authors are different agents. 16:46:57 ...let's leave it open for discussion. What do you think? 16:48:11 ...something similar with what we did with the designer, and we ended up focusing on visual designers and UX researchers. 16:48:56 q? 16:48:59 ...writer emphasises more on the writing part of what a writer needs to take into account. 16:49:46 Carlos: Writer seems to me to focus on writing and we need to address other types of content authors... 16:50:06 q+ 16:50:14 ...I would not focus on content writer and I prefer author but I do not have a clear opinion. 16:51:13 ...initially I was thinking more on content authors with a team but we should also consider content authors with no teams and working alone. 16:52:47 Daniel: If you do not have the technical knowledge and the CMS do not have the accessible possibilities what should you do then? 16:53:04 Carlos: Well then you should change your tool. 16:53:06 q+ 16:53:48 Daniel: Then we properly need to introduce things such as "what the tool can do and can not do" 16:53:50 q+ 16:54:16 q- later 16:54:22 ack b 16:54:28 ack bri 16:55:08 Brian: If you are a one man team you want to have the knowledge of all the different modules... 16:55:26 +1 to Brian on focusing this set on writing (not broader issues like contrast or tools) 16:55:38 ...sometimes we need content writers to ensure that a proper alt-text is provided. 16:56:28 ...all the challenges that content authors have are very important but it has to be something specific about writing. 16:57:32 Daniel: In the overview page we can say that this is mainly aimed to instructors. The curricula is also designed for that. 16:58:04 estella: which is your inspirational use case? 16:59:14 ... even when working in a team, the content author is responsible for the content, not the designer or developer 17:00:05 Daniel: My focus might be mainly on writing content not considering the different CMS. 17:01:07 estella: so we're not considering the different CMS neither LMS 17:01:32 ack ste 17:01:33 Use case is instructors. Scope -- For this curricula with specific modules, I think this one should focus only on writing words, not on things like contast that are covered in the designer modules. 17:01:59 q? 17:02:12 Shawn: One of the big things is that is about instructors. Therefore we want to focus on the writing of words... 17:02:17 ack este 17:02:21 ack shaw 17:02:34 "Author" vs. "Writer" -- complicated by WCAG wording. That alone might 'force' us into writer. 17:03:41 ...the other point is that if you go to WCAG the word "content author" is used for different roles. 17:04:08 Daniel: We can discuss this issue and explain in the overview page. 17:04:15 ...I will follow up with you. 17:04:30 rrsagent, make minutes v1 17:04:30 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2022/02/15-wai-curricula-minutes.html dmontalvo
