WebEdit Working Group

<janina_> w3c/strategy#417

jasonjgw_: Basically clarifies APIs associated with ContentEditable

jasonjgw_: Which allows users to edit content in the browser

jasonjgw_: Includes clipboard and events support

jasonjgw_: Some connection to a highlighting API

jasonjgw_: Non-text editing is out of scope

janina_: CTAUR has a broader scope, but curious to know if ContentEditable is used in such things as Google Docs

jasonjgw_: Unclear...Google may use proprietary techniques

jasonjgw_: Charter does not include ARIA as a dependency

scott_h: There could be some potential impacts on our document work if editable text is using spec-based techniques rather than all proprietary interactions

janina_: APA monitors charters, which is why this is coming up now

jasonjgw_: Agree with Scott's point

jasonjgw_: Editing support sometimes use JavaScript libraries which may not be supported in assistive technology through standard means

jasonjgw_: They mention WCAG in the charter, but not ARIA, which could be problematic

janina_: Seems like we have a good understanding at this point

scott_h: May explain why Google Docs has problems with AT, but Office online seems to provide a better level of access

jasonjgw_: Will continue CTAUR work next week

Media accessibility: issue identification.

janina_: Has MAUR repository been raeted?

jasonjgw_: Yes...all ready to begin work

jasonjgw_: No issues added yet, but everything is ready

jasonjgw_: Should have more to discuss next week

janina_: The document goes back to 2013, so is long past due a refresh

janina_: The interlinear use case was brought up in this doc, but no issues were raised back then

jasonjgw_: If it is something else other than just text, then it likely fits

janina_: Good place now to look at standardizing some of these interactions

jasonjgw_: Repository is ready, so we are good to go on starting work

Miscellaneous updates and topics.

jasonjgw_: Not sure if anything is going to dicsuss today

jasonjgw_: A lot going on with AI these days

jasonjgw_: Predict a lot of automated transformation for cognitive accessibility in future

janina_: Similar to what has happened with automated captions

jasonjgw_: Will have to deal with this at some point
