Meeting minutes

Agenda Review & Announcements

Announcement from Fazio. the accessibility maturity model is moving to review before public review.

Benetech used a model to put our maturity model into the model and came up with a demo.

My project manager tried it out and within 10 minutes got something useful.

Janina: link for the meeting?

Fazio: the demo will be in the next hour in another meeting. Search your email for maturity model, as the link was shared with AGWG public list.

<Fredrik> Let me take the opportunity to do some somersaults and break out into a very, very jubilant "wooohhoooooo!" in regards to the MM getting to CFC!

Spec review requests

janina, Roy_Ruoxi can you help us with these sub topics?

IMSC Text Profile 1.3

<Roy_Ruoxi> w3c/a11y-request#116

janina and Neha are assigned to this one.

<tsaulter> Can I be added as an assignee? I'd chatted with Matt about it recently on my intro call.

Neha: I tried to have a look but I couldn't find those changes. I'll try again.

<Neha> https://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1.3/#substantive-changes-summary

tsaulter I just assigned you to it. You can usually assign yourself.

<tsaulter> Oh great, thank you JenStrickland!

<Roy_Ruoxi> https://www.w3.org/TR/ttml-imsc1.2/

[there's some discussion around finding the changes information]

css-ui-4

<Roy_Ruoxi> w3c/a11y-request#118

PaulG: my take on this is this is something already done in JavaScript. It can reduce things popping up for someone who has a slow mouse hand.
… already done is JS, just moving it to CSS.
… part of ongoing effort to move things from JS to CSS, to make it easier for authors, improve performance.
… adding interest delay allows the pop-up to be delayed for some amount of time.

Comment review requests

[css-anchor-position-1] Improve accessibility guidance

<Roy_Ruoxi> w3c/a11y-tracking#230

@neha: I added two more examples

janina: are we nearly ready to close?

Neha: Yes, I think PaulG should review.

PaulG: I'll take a look.

janina: we'll wait for Matthew to review before moving forward.

CSS Update (Paul)

PaulG: I'm a couple weeks behind, so nothing today.

Other business

janina: With Matthew giving us things to consider. We're building Github more deeply into our process.

<Roy_Ruoxi> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Horizontal_Review#For_Specifications_2

janina:  their tooling continues to improve in accessibility.
… Matthew is doing two things of interest. First is maintaining a wiki page. Roy_Ruoxi might have a link.
… So if something is unclear or could be stated better, so edits are welcome.
… Matthew is writing some tooling to help us track our horizontal review activity for our APA dashboard.
