Meeting minutes

Agenda Review & Announcements

janina: A little of a whirligig: Horizontal Review will get more space today.

janina: A reminder to us all that we are moving off of Trackbot and even RRSAgent. We're trying to use zakim start meeting and end meeting in our calls. It does all what we need for us in our calls.

janina: For isntance, when we use zakim end meeting, it dismisses all the present]es from before. The participant lists should be accurate that way.

janina: Plus, of course, it generates the minutes as usual.

janina: THese are active tools, actively maintained and developed.

APA Charter Voting Review https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/apa-wg-recharter/

janina: The voting for the charter remains open.

janina: It's up to us to schedule the cross-group meetings, ontrary to our first impressiosn. They will assign rooms once we are closer to the event itself based on expected attendance.

Getting a Grip on the A11y Review Comment Tracker https://w3c.github.io/horizontal-issue-tracker/?repo=w3c/a11y-review

<matatk> HOWTO guide for horizontal review: https://w3c.github.io/horizontal-issue-tracker/HOWTO

<matatk> Plain GitHub Issues in the HR issue review request repo: https://github.com/w3c/a11y-review/issues

matatk: Our main responsibility is to review everything coming out of the W3C for a11y which is why we do horizontal review.

matatk: Others include i18n, security, privacy etc.

matatk: As well as eht spec reviews, we occasionally get asked to comment on issues raised by other groups before they get into specifications.

matatk: There is a dashboard we use with Github issue labels and so on (linked to in the header of this agendum).

matatk: If someone has a question for us they put a specific label on their issue and we get notified.

matatk: We have gotten a lot of isues raised in this way to comment. We do have a backlog of over a hundred issues now.

matatk: Many of them will have been overcome by events, things may have happened, people may have said things on them and so forth.

matatk: I also linked to a how-to document which explains how the labels work and such things.

matatk: What we are proposing to do is: we'd really like any of you how would like to have a look at any of this, to do so and do a little gtriage. If you do and we talk about it on a call, it would be helpful if you had formed an opinion on what might be needed. Just if you think there is an issue here or not.

matatk: THe tracking issues are just Github issues. We can assign them to ourselves and anybody who wants to take them. That won't disturb any of the original issues.

matatk: Please give specific attention to the "closed?"/labelled issues.
