<shawn> 61# to mute --- 60# to unmute
<kate> mute me
Shawn: Update status of new
documents. Have another change to look at documents and slide
sets. Have done videos with face and voice but have now decided
that we could do slides with voice over more easily.
... Have people had a chance to look at these? What do you want
to spend time on?
Sharron: Read a couple of agenda items, good progress, not much to discuss
Ian: About the same. Looked at ISO pages, most of them.
Jennifer: Looked through first
two, would like to talk about dropping of ISO, not looked at
slide sets.
... I am seeing little typos, am waiting for you Shawn to tell
me to bring down the grammar hammer
Kate: Things are looking good.
Shawn: OK, then the first item is to look at the new navigation. First link goes to new nav. Now that you see it, how does it feel? Still comfortable?
Jennifer: Looks fine to me
Shawn: I talked to Liam who is mostly happy, thinks "Working together..." is too long and remember we discussed that. For all these sub pages, let's get feedback today, make the changes and submit any typo or gammar things you notice.
Jennifer: Substantively the pages look good to me
Shawn: So let's consider this our
last call...
... Getting Started, we have an intro and then discussion of
basics.
... open issue of whether to have a feedback mechanism.
... so ifnoring that, anything on the page "Getting Started..."
anything?
... next is "Web Accessibility and Inclusive Design...."
especially first paragraph?
All: no comments
Shawn: OK would like discussion of "Working Together..." but concern was may be reference to employment
Jennifer: WAI and you
Shawn: You and WAI
Jennifer: yes, even better
Shawn: Newer members of the group...what would make you feel invited ?
Ian: Would look for something like participation, participating...
Kate: Yes, I like that
Sharron: what about contributing
Ian: Might seem like solicitation to write specs and such, may be scary
Shawn: or might think money
... what about participting with WAI,...in WAI...invited
Ian: How to participate
Shawn: Would like to do a comparitive test to see what the repsonse is
Sharron: like the simplicity of You and WAI and they say people respond when they see you
Shawn: Analytics are huge because of the numbers, and strict we don't track policy
Sharron You can participate in WAI
Jennifer: But then there is the issue of length of title
<shawn> You and WAI
<shawn> You can participate in WAI
<shawn> Participting in WAI
Shawn: What are yur preferences?
Kate: Participating
Jennifer: Participating
Sharron: You and WAI
Ian: Participating
Shawn: I'll get input from staff
and others, appreciate your input.
... already have that page and have wanted to tweak that
because it can be overwhelming and not real freindly
... quite long and it might be nice to have a shoter landing
page and then move people along to the more detailed
pages
... anything else on the "Working Together..."page?
... we could periodically do a Home Page news but not sure that
many people look at that.
<shawn> http://www.w3.org/WAI/redesign/2011/train2010
Shawn: Presentations and
Tutorials..please look at that page
... The issue is that we don't really have much in the way of
actual tutorials but may have related resources. Ian, please
read first paragraph.
Ian: reads
... BAD must be expanded onscreen.
Jennifer: agreed
... don't find it particularly misleading.
Sharron: Do we plan to have more tutorials
Shawn: Yes, application notes.
New redesign of W3C does have a tutorials page.
... lists tutorials even developed elsewhere
Jennifer: Does ATAG and UUAG have tutorials?
Shawn: No
<shawn> W3C http://www.w3.org/2002/03/tutorials.html
<shawn> We need to fix the list under http://www.w3.org/2002/03/tutorials.html#webdesign_accessibility ! :/
Shawn: How is everyone feeling about the use of the term tutorials? first paragraph?
Sharron: tutorial seems fine
Shawn: There is an explicit
self-study option to some of them
... anything else on navigation and navigation pages?
... Monday I will have surgery and Shadi will take over EO and
why we have pushed for completion in December. Not sure when I
am back to work.
<shawn> change marked version: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/access-use/accessibility-n-usability.html
Shawn: Looking at the change
marked version. One of the issues was taking out the ISO
reference. We looked at two things. Asked specific people for
input and got comments in WAI EO editor's list and implemented
some changes based on those comments.
... some comments, we felt like we needed more input. Wanted
wider perspective as we got closer to feeling like the docuemtn
is ready.
... very challenging document because there are many competing
points of view.
Jennifer: Looking at the change log is ...wow!
Shawn: At one point, a draft had
defintions, one from ISO. The nuances in defintitions are
subject to debate and we decided not useful to enter that
debate.
... for this draft we thought about removing it, and wondered
what is the benefit.
... so Jennifer what was your feedback?
Jennifer: Thinking of a
compromise position...I would like to make sure that this
document has credibility to usability people. Including the ISO
makes it look like we have done our research. At one point we
had a linked list of references.
... maybe include that even if we must include the note that
hey, you ahve to pay for this.
... usability people may expect it.
Shawn: Good point. And Suzanne
was wondering if we should make it a full academic research
project.
... we removed the resource list at the bottom and removed
it.
<kate> sorry the internet cafe im in is closing (heavy snow in england is causing a few problems this week..!) i will have to go...
Jennifer: Yes once you present a
list you ahve to defend your choices.
... is Just Ask linked to?
... feels like a can of worms may not be worth opening.
... I don't know the usability field well enough to know if it
does in fact lend credibility, but seemed like an
expectation.
Shadi: And other than credibility, for accessibility people who are programmers, I may not know much about usability, it may boil down to what resources are next and how are they eferenced.
Shawn: Yes, thanks for that
reminder.
... OK to take it ourt for this draft, but leave as editor's
note to consider
Ian: I would like to see the
point about being a resource for the usability-focused
developer.
... it would be useful for me
<shawn> http://www.w3.org/WAI/redesign/ucd
Jennifer: I guess I wish we could get active participation rather than jsut comments from usability people.
Sharron: agreed!
Shawn: I could ask around. Usability was my old stomping ground
Jennifer: I would like it to be realy visible that the usability community is really behind this.
Shawn: great point to think
about
... we can write for their online magazine, etc. Their upcoming
conference is themed Design for Social Change
... anything else on this?
... We've read through it with our developer hat, usability
hat, now let's try on the policy hat...particularly look at the
intro
... any comments with that hat?
Ian: I have a question ... what do we expect policy makers to get from this paper? what would they use it for?
<shawn> http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/changelogs/cl-accessibility-n-usability.html Anyone developing guidelines, policies, resources, etc that overlap with existing accessibility guidelines, policies, resources, etc -- e.g., for older users, einclusion, etc. - encourage them to coordinate with existing accessibility work, including WAI and WAI guidelines. AND Policy people; procurement, purchasing, commissioning people - standards are essential; however, need to ensure they are
Shawn: We want them to require
accessibility standards AND be aware that it is more than just
checking a box.
... any other perspectives? OK we will probably do a bit more
work and you will probably get an email to consent to putting
it out as a draft.
... anything else on this?
... Since no one had a chance to look at the slide sets yet,
please try to make the time to look at them in the next week or
two and send comments.
... then we can adjourn. Next week Shadi will lead. have a
great weekend
