Meeting minutes

Coordination regarding Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 3.0.

jasonjgw: Glad to have Rachael with us today

Rachael: We have been studying various tests used for such things as color contrasts

Rachael: Have found several gaps in user needs

Rachael: would like to collaborate with RQTF and have assistance on this

jasonjgw: So to help with literature search and summaries?

Rachael: yes

scott_h: Makes sense for us to be involved and help with this

janina: Determining how best to coordinate would be helpful

janina: We have a long history of digging into such things as media accessibility

janina: Many examples where, for instance, flat HTML isn't providing enough information.

jasonjgw: We would do preliminary investigation of topics that are not yet well defined

jasonjgw: Discussions of concepts and scope would help with better defining this work

Rachael: doing an initial review before defining it as a gap would be good

Rachael: Working with some universities to help research might be good as well

jasonjgw: Can set up a wiki page, perhaps by RQTF, then coordinate in an appropriate manner to pupulate and refine teh content

Rachael: sound good

Rachael: the concept we have in place are short-term subgroups who work on focused research

Rachael: work for about 8 weeks and then bring it back to the large meeting

janina: That is a useful content that we could apply

jasonjgw: Can create the Wiki page as an action item

scott_h: Like the positioning of being in an advisory role

janina: Would start with the wiki as we have done in the past

Rachael: yes...that works.

Rachael: Would like to find a way of referencing other research efforts and noting when these are completed

jasonjgw: Sounds good

janina: Just a point that we are talking about WCAG 3, which is still a long time away

jasonjgw: We can continue coordination by email for now

Rachael: thanks for having me!

Collaboration Tools Accessibility User Requirements.

jasonjgw: Janina is working on integrating new content by Scott

janina: Yes...but still needing to turn these into GitHub issues, but it is progressing

janina: Hope to have more of an update by next week

jasonjgw: Trend to move all office application outputs into cloud use rather than people emailing files

janina: Online version of LibraOffice is not accessible

scott_h: What are our plans on COGA comments?

janina: We will move forward at this point so as to not further delay the publication

jasonjgw: Will put on agenda for next week

Media Accessibility User Requirements.

janina: Hoping we can get a FPWD out before TPAC

janina: We are setting up cross-group meetings, CTAUT and Media are some we want to highlight

janina: Natural language is another one where we may need a discussion

Miscellaneous updates and topics.

janina: Automated captions - are there known services where a script is given in advance to the automated engines?

Steve: may have some past research on this - seems like a vendor may have something about this

Steve: we have looking for formalized alt text guidelines for writing iamge descriptions for young children

janina: We should look at adding age appropriate guidelines in WCAG 3 - may not help today

Here is one resource I found: https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=public:nnels:etext:kids-books:kb_alt-text
