jasonjgw: Decided to bring this back for today's meeting
jasonjgw: Wiki page is up
Draft W3C Accessibility Maturity Model.
Sheri_B-H: Have been working on this for about a year
Sheri_B-H: Wanted this to be an independent model that would be flexible to apply across industries
Sheri_B-H: We used "dimensions" which looks at all sorts of elements like training, procurement, etc.
Sheri_B-H: Have created some automated scoring sheets to start out
Sheri_B-H: Questions?
janina: The migration has moved from Googledocs to GitHub
Sheri_B-H: We would like to get some early feedback now before more progress continues
jasonjgw: It looks nearly ready as a first public working draft
jasonjgw: It seem very close to publication; are there other issues which will prevent publication
Sheri_B-H: No...don't think there are any big issues
Sheri_B-H: We would like to add use-case studies after FPWD
jasonjgw: What about messaging?
Sheri_B-H: Have begun to work on that
jasonjgw: Looking at fixing validity errors; a few other editorial items were noted
jasonjgw: Anyone else have concerns or issues?
scott_h: I looked at it and it looks like an excellent document
MichaelC: Looking at this now...it might be helpful to move the key terms later in the document
Sheri_B-H: This was a deliberate step based on COGA needs
MichaelC: Would suggest linking to these terms early on in the document as a compromise
kline: One of the key elements needs to be a mechanism to get to the spreadsheet
jasonjgw: Should be a resource link from the document to send people there
kline: Wants to be sure the spreadsheet is just as available as the document itself
Sheri_B-H: The spreadsheet is in Google; so we'll need to look at getting that onto the W3C website
janina: We have had problems before with Google doc materials with other groups
MichaelC: Typically, these sorts of materials have been made downloadable files
Sheri_B-H: CSV file format probably won't carry over the formulas
MichaelC: Perhaps leave the Google version now before switching to a longer-term format
jasonjgw: Creating as HTML with JavaScript might be the best option
Sheri_B-H: That may work; we only used Google sheets to start because of familiarity and ease of working with
kline: Whatever the final format may be, we just need to ensure the user can use this tool in such a way to keep their data provate
kline: It needs to be confidential to the end user
jasonjgw: That is why we need to have this not running in such a way that the data gets loaded to a server
jasonjgw: Client-side HTM should work
jasonjgw: The ancillary resources are not a primary issue for the FPWD
jasonjgw: Other issues?
janina: We can add editor's notes about the interim state of the spreadsheet technology
janina: That may forestall such concers
janina: That sounds like a good fix for now
jasonjgw: Let's have the subgroup fix the few issues, once they have a consensus it is ready to go, then RQTF can look at it as well
Proposed W3C Workshop on Immersive Worlds on the Web.
jasonjgw: There is an open issue for reviewing the call for workshop
jasonjgw: Looking at interoperability of immersive environments
janina: Not sure when comments and or proposals are due, we need to look into that
jasonjgw: The accessibility aspect seems to be included, but was more about interoperability and portability of virtual objects
jasonjgw: There do seem to be some distant new dimensions to accessibility, but wondering what others think?
jasonjgw: Comments on the proposal??
janina: Maybe take another week or so?
scott_h: I can look at this for next week
Reporting API use cases.
Miscellaneous topics.
First Public Working Draft of Ethical Principles for web Machine Learning.
jasonjgw: Let's move that one to next week as well
jasonjgw: Scott will take care of next week's meeting due to my absence
