<Harvey> So I quit IRC and rejoined
<scribe> scribenick: jack
<shawn> Overall reactions:
Shawn: who has had a chance to look at them and overall reaction
Andrew: the documents seem like they are focused on a technical audience. We need something that brings in others like project managers
Justin: Not sure what I was suppose to bring away. It has a very defined audience. Make it clear who it is for and what the take aways are. May need a parallel set of documents
Wayne: Agrees with the idea of paralled documents
Shawn: Do they have to be documents or can the information delivered in other ways such as podcasts, etc.
Justin: Who is the audience?
Sharron: Agrees with Wayne that we need other documents for other defined audiences
Judy: To the degree we can minimize effort by making sure that explanatory stuff and perhaps having a couple of levels in a document
Wayne: My general problem is that these documents focus on details on how to use advance application rather tlike ATS;shan what Rich Applications are about
<Harvey> 1.617.761.6200 gives me only request to join IRC
Shawn: Let's talk about who the audience for the overview documents
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria.php
Sharon: Developers are one audience
Andrew: Policy makers, technical developer, project managers, etc. Should be as broad as possible and include everyone
Shawn: She and Sharon will write
up who is the audience
... Should the focus be on introducing issues?
Wayne: The first paragraph talks about the WAI ARIA suite. It needs an introduction to the concept of ARIA.

Shawn: Let's look at the next section: WAI-ARIA Suite
Justin: No precise term that describes what problem or issue we are trying to focuss on solving. Perhaps an example of what we are trying to do

Shawn: We need to clarify. Examples?

Sharon: I think many of us are still trying to understand the content and then try to understand how to share it with differenct audiennces
Wayne: who is the audience for the ARIA suite
<shawn> Add you the Attributes to make your Applications Accessible
Justin: Wish we could we say more clearly what it is. Add these attributes to make your application accessible
Wayne: This may be a framework to
how you add attributes to make your application
accessible
... This is about an architecture beyond just some
attributes
... A framework of techniques for developing rich internet
applications that will support accessibility
... Araia is A framework of techniques for developing rich
internet applications that will support accessibility
... Understanding ARIA involves having a mental model as well
as a group of techniques
Welcome Harvey!
Shawn: Let's look at what is in the WAI ARIA suite.
Andrew: Will the suite continue to evolve?
Shawn: No.
Wayne: The subjects are parsed correctly, but the details of the documents themselves are abstract
Justin: Would there be a way to section off which part of things apply to which audiences?
Shawn: What if there was two sections - best practices for documents for the first section, section section for technical developers
<shawn> ACTION: S&S put headings like "Best Practices for Developers" first, then Other docs for Others :/ [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/10/05-eo-minutes.html#action04]
All: Discuss what is meant by gap analysis
Justin: How does this relate to the other documents and other groups?
Shawn: Probably should point to FAQ
Wayne: Should make it clear what dynamic applications and rich internet applications mean. What do we want to include and what we want to exclude.
Sharon: What should be excluded?
Wayne: Dynamic web content - stuff pulled out from a server
<shawn> 3 Quick/Short tings to fix right away:
Shawn: If we did an interim version what are the things we would fix right a way

Wayne: need to elevator pitch
Justin: Who this is for
Wayne: More explanation about the WAI ARIA roadmap should be clarified
Shawn: Talks about publishing
plans working group of ARIA documents
... Big FAQ. Split the FAQ into two - basic and technical. What
goes into the FAQ rather than what goes into the FAQ.
