12:41:00 [Sharron]
Shadi: Been working on this version for a while. Hope to have it wrapped up by end of July. Working through previous comments, including extensive ones from Shawn. Don't be too daunted by extensive notes, most are copy edited but a few need to be brought in for discussion.
12:41:51 [Sharron]
...Today would like to focus on Diversity in Web Use and ?? Can we jump in. There is link to wiki page that captures issues for today' discussion.

12:43:09 [shawn]
q+ to say (for later) colorblind first?
12:43:40 [Sharron]
...first point on Ms. Laitinen. Should she be a fluent or not so fluent user of Braille?
12:43:59 [Sylvie]
q+
12:44:11 [Sharron]
...decided that her Braille use would be for very detailed work but not be as fluent as user.
12:44:13 [shawn]
q- later
12:44:20 [Sharron]
s/as/a
12:45:50 [Sharron]
Shadi: Any discussion of that decision - that she is less fluent and uses Brille as a check for detailed work like numbers, etc?

Sylvie_Duchateau was not muted, Sylvie
12:47:13 [Sharron]
Sylvie: I agree that not all blind people are expert Braille users. But the connotation as it is seems negative. Perhaps a bit negative to say "she does not read very well"
12:47:43 [Sharron]
Shawn: I can help with the wording, don't need to do it more.
12:48:34 [Sharron]
Sylvie: You talk then about screen reader and refreshable Braille, but isn't that a contradiction if she doesn't read well?
12:48:59 [Sharron]
Shadi: Can maybe say she reads Braille but prefers screen reading software.
12:49:29 [Sharron]
Shawn: Maybe say mostly uses screen reader and occaisionally uses Braille.

12:55:12 [dboudreau]

12:56:26 [dboudreau]

12:58:30 [dboudreau]
shadi: more ocnformtable to use text out speech than braille
12:59:50 [dboudreau]
shawn: the 1st one in the list is colour-blindness, not a particularly compelling example

zakim, who is making noise?
13:01:42 [dboudreau]
shadi: in previous version, a deaf person who became legally blind
13:01:44 [Zakim]

13:03:02 [dboudreau]

13:03:35 [dboudreau]
shadi: remove the use of mobile device from the story and just bring the mobile device element to another story
13:04:42 [dboudreau]

13:06:30 [dboudreau]
shadi: the mobile bit doesn't fit well in there
13:07:02 [dboudreau]
shawn: I'm happy to revert to it and I trust shadi's judgement
13:07:05 [suzette]
good to have mobile on wish list
13:07:12 [dboudreau]
I'm also fine with reverting
13:07:49 [dboudreau]
we should be very careful not to overcharge the stories so they remain credible
13:08:15 [dboudreau]
So whatever it is we need to take out, we should so it's doesn'T look "too big"
13:08:31 [dboudreau]

[ Shawn knows in UK: "registered blind"]
13:12:34 [IanPouncey]
IanPouncey has joined #eo
13:12:47 [dboudreau]
sylvie: in europe, legally blind has their own criteria for recognizing someone who's blind and if we say she can see partially, it might throw peole off
13:13:15 [suzette]
there is a wikipedia entry on blindness in US and EU
13:13:57 [dboudreau]
shadi: should we even integrate the term legally blind in there?
13:14:17 [dboudreau]
i think we should leave the term out then
13:15:59 [dboudreau]
shawn: and focus on the fact that she has a visual disability (or tunnel vision) that would give it something specific to say
13:16:01 [Sylvie]

Sylvie_Duchateau should now be muted

13:17:26 [Sylvie]
+1 to Shawn
13:17:49 [shawn]
... can say something like, which is considered legally blind in her country
13:20:05 [dboudreau]
shadi: bottom line is - let's be careful with jargon and address deaf/blindness as a condition that's very important
13:20:11 [IanPouncey]
IanPouncey has joined #eo
13:22:04 [dboudreau]
shadi: let's focus on explaining the condition, that's the real important part in this
13:22:40 [dboudreau]
Shadi: Next story - Miss Martinez
13:22:59 [shawn]
q+ to look *briefly* :-) at order of stories
13:23:09 [dboudreau]
shadi: another mobile concern

ack me
13:24:06 [Zakim]
shawn, you wanted to look *briefly* :-) at order of stories
13:24:32 [dboudreau]
shadi: order of stories - should we change it?
13:24:56 [dboudreau]
shawn: maybe not start with colour-blindness is the 1st story?
13:26:24 [Vicki]
good point denis.
13:27:11 [dboudreau]
denis: we should align the order to at least fit in with the order and prioritization we made in the accessibility basics document
13:28:48 [IanPouncey]
IanPouncey has joined #eo
13:29:16 [dboudreau]
shadi: i don't seem much problem in having different orders for the stories as the documents have different purposes
13:32:03 [Vicki]
fine with me
13:32:22 [dboudreau]
denis: let's avoid prioritizing the stories by how disabling the disabilities actually are
13:34:51 [dboudreau]
shadi: let's continue with diversity in web use - 2 issues there: 1. the title (very similar titles - diversity of web users and web uses) and 2. conceptually, the page objectives seem kind of related

Suzette: i think the separation of the people from the tools and strategies worked OK
13:40:37 [suzette]
Suzette: When the tab links are viewed in isolation they are too similar , I thought the second one should emphasis tools or strategies
13:41:05 [suzette]

scribe: Vicki
14:03:37 [Vicki]
shawn: look at the existing page and see if there are overall comments. look at specific scenario, one use case e.g. we sent out a press release saying that wcag 2.0 is now... etc. so somebody gets this and not particular familiar with wai or
14:04:08 [Vicki]
shawn: they follow the link and end up here. what overall comments would you have about this existing page?
14:05:03 [Vicki]

14:06:31 [Vicki]
shawn: it is positive.
14:07:23 [Vicki]
shawn: the idea is just to look at how to improve this page overall
14:08:19 [Vicki]
denis: tempted to have the principles explained here.
14:08:41 [shawn]
zakim, who is on the phone?
14:08:42 [Zakim]
On the phone I see Vicki, Shawn, Suzette, Sylvie_Duchateau, dboudreau, IanPouncey
14:11:10 [Vicki]
sylvie: maybe remove the older references to wcag 1. also, might confuse people if we talk about atag at the beginning
14:12:29 [IanPouncey]
IanPouncey has joined #eo
14:12:32 [Vicki]
denis: in eval group, we have looked at a list for who wcag is intended for and we have a much more extensive list of people so maybe we should compare the two lists and see what we want to add.
14:16:06 [Vicki]
ian: I think the iso section needs more but i understand that it needs to be finalized. Perhaps make it clearer that ISO is WCAG 2. First paragraph of "what is in the WCAG documents", perhaps it needs to be simpler. Content is spot on, just a friendlier style.

sylvie: general comments: if WCAG is becoming ISO, something about translations should be mentioned. We need on the supporting docs that WAI plans to update, so maybe we should mention that we already have updates and maybe which updates could be found, i.e., more exhaustive about the techniques.

14:23:22 [Vicki]
suzette: in the menu list: there is something about "development process", can we not move some of that there.
14:23:57 [Vicki]

14:24:21 [suzette]
suzette: each of the pages on WCAG, ATAG and UAAG have the same piece on how it was developed
14:24:34 [Sylvie]
zakim, mute me
14:24:34 [Zakim]
Sylvie_Duchateau should now be muted
14:24:43 [Vicki]
ian: would it be mixing things up if we put that here. There already appears to be an overload of information. Now, asking people to also contribute, it might seem a little quick to contribute. They're not ready yet.
14:24:52 [Vicki]
shawn: yes, we'll look at this.
14:25:24 [dboudreau]
ack me
14:26:21 [Vicki]
shawn: In terms of your scheduling, at some point soon, ISO will be done. In case you see tweets etc., watch out for those. When it is ready, W3C and WAI will clearly announce it with press release, tweets, blog etc.
14:26:36 [Vicki]
shawn: if you have any more of the Overview page, please send them soon.
14:26:55 [Vicki]
shawn: the last agenda item is "Action items"
14:27:18 [Vicki]
Topic: Action item
14:27:20 [shawn]
Action item - discuss assigning actions for active participants to review docs for publication in July
14:27:20 [trackbot]
Sorry, couldn't find user - item
14:28:21 [Vicki]
shawn: We previously said that we do not assign actions unless people are on the call but I would like to propose that we make an exception in this case. I would like to propose that we assign action items in tracker for ALL active participants. Is that okay for everyone?
14:28:33 [Vicki]
Denis, Suzette, Vicki are all okay
14:29:11 [Vicki]
shawn: great, no objections. Please update your availability for forthcoming meetings. 13th and 20th we may not meet. I will have several documents for review.
14:29:26 [Vicki]
Bon weekend à tous!
