JS: Everyone needs to rejoin the TF. The HTML WG rechartered, and to participate in this TF everyone must be a member of the WG.

15:07:19 [LJWatson]

15:07:27 [LJWatson]
JS: Yes, I believe so.
15:07:56 [LJWatson]
JB: We had some trouble with this before. Someone de-bugged it, perhaps Michael?
15:08:20 [LJWatson]
MC: Everyone on this call, seems to have re-joined the WG already, so we're in good shape.

JS: PF had rejected the previous process policy the TF put forward, but I believe PF is now agreeable to the current proposal.
15:10:25 [LJWatson]
JS: PF wanted the role of the teleconference to be more clearly spelled out.

JS: The WBS on the tests didn't get a lot of response, as Chaals noted. The tests were accepted as sufficient though.
15:13:09 [LJWatson]

15:17:21 [LJWatson]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0030.html

agendum 7. "MSE Review http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0018.html" taken up [from janina]
15:21:27 [LJWatson]
MS: Janina and I went through the spec. It's highly technical, and so we're taking the approach of going thrugh the user requirements that the TF has developed previously.
15:21:54 [Judy]
q+
15:21:57 [LJWatson]
MS: In our reply we're asking whether those requirements have been met by the MSC spec.
15:22:33 [LJWatson]
JS: We introduce complexity when we introduce alternates - text, captions audio description etc.
15:23:45 [LJWatson]
For example a text transcript may take longer to consume than the video content itself, where does responsibility for pausing the video lie?
15:23:53 [Judy]
s/MSC/MSE ( = Media Source Extension)/
15:24:56 [LJWatson]
MS: They are thinking about these things in the spec, which is encouraging.
15:25:08 [LJWatson]
JS: We *think they're thinking about them.

15:32:30 [LJWatson]
DM: The spec defines an API. There didn't seem to be anything too "scary" in there to me.
15:32:31 [MarkS]
DM: I took a look at it and it appears to just be about how the API's will talk to each other.
15:32:47 [LJWatson]
CS: The code you write as a developer calls the API.
15:33:02 [LJWatson]
DM: Is there a way that someone making an API like this could interfere with the accessibility APIs?
15:33:14 [LJWatson]
CS: Haven't looked at this spec, but in this case I don't think it's likely.
15:34:26 [LJWatson]
JS: We're sensitive to this because of the eBook scenario, in terms of enabling people to access content, but we're not dealin with that kind of media here.
15:35:23 [LJWatson]
CS: We should ask whether any text output will be available to the accessibility APIs, but that's about it.
15:36:11 [LJWatson]
PLH: Not always. In some cases the content is pinged directly to the screen.
15:36:34 [LJWatson]
CS: So whatever does the rendering has to make the content available to the accessibility API.
15:36:51 [LJWatson]
AR: Is it possible to factor that into the spec?
15:37:22 [LJWatson]
CS: If the browser renders it, the browser has to make it available to the accessibility API. If it's a third party renderer, the responsibility lies with them.
15:38:25 [LJWatson]
PLH: This is an idea worth reporting back to the spec WG.

15:40:33 [richardschwerdtfeger]
richardschwerdtfeger has joined #html-a11y
15:41:44 [LJWatson]
AR: We need to be sure that alternate textual information is being exposed to accessibility APIs.
15:41:58 [LJWatson]
AR: + in a non-encrypted manner.
15:42:52 [LJWatson]
PLH: David, what do you mean by audio description?

Example audio description clips: http://www.rnib.org.uk/livingwithsightloss/tvradiofilm/television/adtv/Pages/ad_clips.aspx
15:45:29 [LJWatson]
JB: We should be aware of the granula requirements we developed through the media sub-team.
15:45:42 [LJWatson]
CS: Don't expect this to be too controversial.

MS: Do we know whether the spec covers anything beyond the media stream?
15:46:17 [LJWatson]
PLH: Yes, that's the point.
15:46:57 [LJWatson]
PLH: Very often the tracks will be part of the same file sent to the UA.
15:47:17 [LJWatson]
PLH: Not in the majority, but in some cases at least.
15:48:27 [LJWatson]
PLH: Simply asking the question will be a god start.
15:49:54 [LJWatson]
AR: Clarification on my earlier point - the EME needs to make sure the alternate content needs to expose the information to the accessibility APIs.
15:50:05 [LJWatson]
CS: Not sure that's quite the right approach.
15:50:39 [aardrian]
I am saying that any EME APIs must expose alternate content within the API
15:50:49 [aardrian]
From there, it can be picked up a11y APIs.

LW: but triage hasn't met in awhile. no new bugs that aren't already being taken care of my steve or chaals (longdesc)
15:53:25 [MarkS]
…there are a fair number of bugs that are marked as resolved that will need to be reviewed by the TF

15:54:27 [MarkS]

15:54:50 [MarkS]

15:55:45 [MarkS]

MS: Talked about reaching out to other WGs.
15:57:36 [LJWatson]
DM: Like WCAG?
15:57:51 [LJWatson]
MS: Sure, WCAG, ATAG etc.
15:58:24 [LJWatson]
JS: PF will be focused on ARIA 1.0 so our attention is limited for other activities, but after that we'll be open to syncing up.
