Meeting minutes

TPAC prep (sub-topics: break-out, hand-out, authoring tool) - https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/

Lionel_Wolberger: Notes will be in person

matatk: Also Roy and me!

janina: And yours truly!

matatk: Sharon did great job with handout
… EA did symbols draft, including alt text
… Russell and BCI folks tweaked Bliss to be more correct
… Remaining question, 8.5 x 5.5 card stock, does it work? Symbols big enough to see clearly and read clearly?
… Sharon did layout and we now have a good looking doc
… We need expediently to make the wording slightly more generic
… Phps pull chapter titles, but just more about AAC in general
… Avoid a specific topic as janina Couldn't we just pullthat phrase?

matatk: Looking ...

Lionel_Wolberger: Asks how to help? We have designers?

Lionel_Wolberger: Are we up to physical designers?

matatk: Currently in Word, we want text interwoven within symbols
… Symbols, then line of words, then line of symbols, then line of words ...

matatk: Want to glance and have a message

matatk: That's why we need text interleaved

Lionel_Wolberger: Not liking "We must"

russell: Will send latest edits to public-adapt

Lionel_Wolberger: Asks card size?

matatk: 8.5 X 5.5 or A5

Lionel_Wolberger: We're in Seville, a5!

Lionel_Wolberger: Word limits us ...
… we need a header--who's talking? W3C logo helps
… some kind of title
… we should tell people what we are doing, not what we're not doing

matatk: We want to be as meta as possible
… Any text, possible exception of title, should be marked up

Lionel_Wolberger: One side is ARASAAC the other is Bliss
… text is the same

Lionel_Wolberger: We want people to see at a glance what we're promoting
… Show heading for video, without raising the HTML issue

janina: Brilliant. We can illustrate chapter headings without naming the HTML problem. Let the teckies pick up on that

Lionel_Wolberger: In Distributed Identifiers we ended up wearing buttons!
… Proposes footer: For more info see: QR code

matatk: Different from what we envisaged up to now, but subtle and doesn't distract. I like
… Would like to see other bits of text marked with symbols, e.g. "for more info"

Lionel_Wolberger: If we overdecorate it would exceed my threshold for visual noise

[group work on text]

Lionel_Wolberger: Thinking of boxing both examples to help them stand out

janina: Proposes: "trans-symbolization"

Text at the top of the mockup, worked up in ctee: Many people benefit from AAC symbols with text. WAI-Adapt enables authors to add symbolic data to content.
… correction

Many people benefit from AAC symbols with text. There are multiple symbol sets in use today. WAI-Adapt enables authors to add data to content, and users can display the ones they know.

[NOTE: Text and formatting changed enough we need another run of symbol editing!]

Lionel_Wolberger: Not sending to list for that reason. Dn't want to put out bad trans-symbolics!

[group working on initial markup with more appropriate symbols. Check the list!]
