Meeting minutes

DD

janina: Recapping where we are, status
… we do not need implementations as we are socializing a procedure
… need to complete the explainer
… our task is then to get people to "Just Do It"

Lionel_Wolberger: Along with the explainer, we need the front window, so we can make sure that people can get to the explainer

Lionel_Wolberger: We need to complete the "front window" to ensure people reach the explainer

matatk: In W3C terms, we are producing a 'best practices'
… however, to get consensus in the industry we need to do what Janina said re: socializing

matatk: A demonstration extension, with a com[pelling user interface, will highly benefit us
… and increase the likelihood that a browser may build-in this capability into the chrome

matatk: An explainer generally contains background information as well, how we came to the decisions that we took

janina: The best practices document itself is not the explainer

matatk: Title, WAI Adapt: Discoverable Destinations

https://w3c.github.io/adapt/destinations/

Lionel_Wolberger: I recommend we internally refer to this document as 'best practices', and ensure that phrase is in the abstract or introduction

janina: This BP document needs to describe how best to achieve DD
… we want content being marked up, approaches in extensions
… we will want COGA involved
… reminding us, there are people in COGA who code

janina: Propose we take an action item , setup a conversation with COGA on these topics
… as precursor, curate a pared down agenda for that meeting
… and request that COGA work up implementations for their use cases

<Zakim> matatk, you wanted to mention the folder name

matatk: Action, Matt change the folder name from 'destinations' to 'discoverable-destinations'

matatk: We are already aware of a delta between what we are achieving here, and what COGA wanted
… e.g., COGA wanted 'types of help that are available'
… also, I urge we have a working extension before we tackle the issue of subsites

Lionel_Wolberger: (Created a Google Doc to curate and clarify action items and milestones and deliverables

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rbM1UesDRnQoOl2sh8S7jQEt2y2L_tA_icBfR-inXkg/edit?tab=t.0

Symbols

matatk: Symbols explainer needs to be updated

Lionel_Wolberger: Do we want to use the same pattern and make a BP doc in parallel?

janina: Note that symbols and screen readers is 'not in scope'

matatk: I can take that action item
