Meeting minutes
ARIA WG has been re-chartered. Please re-join the Working Group
Daniel: Please re-join the Working Group
PDF-AAM Editor's Draft. Work plan.
Daniel explains process
Zach: FPWD first quarter 2025
… Initial iteration with the conversion process, we have a working meeting tomorrow figuring out what we need from the sheet
Duff: There might be a couple of content related qualification, we need to have a couple of internal discussions
JN: It is often hard to get comments from people who are not involved in the process
JC: Figuring out if we can test these mappings is important. Maybe through WPT via a pdf.js. Then we'll start filing bugs against the browsers
JN: I18n, Security, and Privacy folks will comment because of the Horizontal Review process
Zach: Good to know about WPT, that's been difficult for us to get to know how we could go about it
Conversion to HTML from sheet
Zach: Thanks James Craig for walking me through the scripts in the PDF AAM
… I've been working with the processor to help pair down some of the info and data that we have
… Trying to make the export more clean
… There is a bit of work that the PDF association can do to streamline the process
… Working session tomorrow, hopefully we can take a spreadsheet and export it right away
… That will streamline the process
… Hopefully the initial export will be done either before January 2025 or slightly after
JC: Good collaborative session
Daniel: What to do with duplicate information in Core-AAM?
Zach: Depends on how often the Core-AAM document is updated
Valerie: There are links between the specs, we leaned towards not having duplication
… Core-AAM doesn't change that much, it mostly documents what browsers do
William: If I were developing ai think I would prefer a single source of truth
JC: I think that iss the intention of moving it into the ARIA monorepo
Paul: We were basically copying from the HTML-AAM and ARIA into the sheet. I think there is a better way to do that
William: I was suggesting what the HTML-AAM does. For example with the <a> element.
JC: That is exactly what is intended for this. The only time you are going to see it in this is when it's different
Daniel: I agree with the mappings approach. I was talking more about the editorial parts
Zach: I am of two minds with this.
William: A lot of this will not be the same.
Zach: I think there's going to be a hybrid
