15:23:04 [JF]
waiting for movement there
15:23:40 [JF]
PC: there has been some off-line discussion, including why is it taking so long? Appears to be blocked by the longdesc decision
15:23:41 [Judy]

JB: there are some dicsussion on this already. Different TF participants have concerns on moving forward without the longdesc decision addressed
15:25:25 [JF]
JB: depending on how that goes, there may be some significant changes required to the Alt Text Document
15:25:52 [paulc]
q+
15:25:57 [JF]
JB: could create some misunderstanding to release it as is
15:26:24 [Zakim]

15:26:30 [janina]

15:26:45 [JF]

15:27:46 [janina]

15:28:05 [JF]
PC: Aware of the discussion & history
15:28:22 [JF]
if there are issues, then file the bugs
15:28:41 [JF]
PC: keeping this in limbo does no-one any favors
15:28:41 [janina]
ack l
15:28:41 [Zakim]
liam, you wanted to object to a heartbeat as-is very strongly as it could be very damaging, it basically contradicts longdesc, and yes there are bugs filed
15:29:09 [JF]
LIam: object strongly to publish this as is, due to issues around the longdesc sensitivity
15:29:41 [JF]
This is bad and damaging to publish this with wrong info
15:29:51 [JF]
JF: +1 to Liam
15:30:01 [paulc]
Links to the bugs?
15:30:19 [JF]
JS: suggest that we may in fact be past the blockage now.
15:31:04 [JF]
JS: whichever way the Director goes with the longdesc doc will have an impact on the ALt Text document.
15:31:18 [liam]
I filed https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26868 26869 and 26870 which are deliberately fairly high-level
15:31:34 [janina]
q?
15:31:40 [JF]
PC: have not replaced the editor, gaterhing data on what we should do next
15:31:55 [JF]
PC: believe we should keep Steve's name on the doc as editor
15:32:45 [ShaneM]
tied up on another call. I have volunteered to take on whatever additional editing is needed.
15:33:06 [ShaneM]
(have also volunteered)
15:33:31 [JF]
JB: this needs to be handled at a coordination level
15:34:47 [JF]
JS: history of this doc tells us the original reason that the work on this document started is no longer there. It was to off-set some poor information in the earlier HTML 5 document, and it has had an impact on the HJTML5 spec - it succeeded in doing what it set out to do
15:35:26 [JF]
JS: now we need to ensure that 2 W3C documents are in sync, and not saying different things
15:35:35 [JF]
PC: are there bugs there?
15:35:53 [JF]
JS: nont filed yet, but do not anticipate this being a long process
15:36:07 [Judy]
q+
15:36:16 [JF]
CS: perhaps ask WCAG if they want to take up the Best Practices as WCAG Techniques
15:37:22 [Zakim]
-Cynthia_Shelly
15:37:51 [JF]
JB: the content of this document actually spans several different resources - including WCAG Techniques - there are also types of "tutorial" content. Don't want to lose what Steve has contributed there
15:37:53 [Zakim]
+Cynthia_Shelly
15:38:22 [paulc]
If it is true that this document serves a significant different role than the current WD at http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-alt-techniques-20121025/ then that is a strong reason to get a new document on the TR page.
15:38:44 [JF]
JB: thus it doesn't directly map just to WCAG - spans multiple viewpoints. Strong opinion that this document be maintained by WAI groups in the future
15:38:54 [paulc]
And I keep hearing that there are more and more yet defined changes to the current document so arguing against a heartbeat now seems wrong.
15:39:11 [janina]
Paul, I was trying to say that it serves a different role today than the role for which it was initially created
15:39:26 [JF]
JB: there is a syncronization concern, but hope is to address that fairly quickly (after the longdesc decision)
15:39:42 [janina]
q?
15:39:44 [JF]
JB: moving forward (new techiques, etc.) to also keep all that sync'd there
15:39:46 [janina]
ack ju
15:40:01 [ShaneM]
Won't this document need to go through another CfC round if we edit it substantially with longdesc stuff?
15:40:31 [JF]
JB: the number of changes are small and finite, but unsure if they are all filed as bugs
15:40:33 [paulc]
There are no bugs for what Janina referred to.
15:40:37 [paulc]
q+
15:41:08 [JF]
JS: the original CfC was also flawed
15:41:15 [paulc]
Please file the ALL the bugs that describe the work that needs to be done on this document.
15:42:02 [JF]
PC: heard Liam's concern about 2 documents that are in conflict - but now hearing that there are multiple new content to be added
15:42:20 [JF]
PC: don't understand why a heartbeat cannot be published now
15:43:20 [JF]
JB: this has been explained in multiple ways - the TF feels very strongly here to not do this, don't understand why that cannot be respected?
15:43:38 [JF]
PC: can do that. people need to file the bugs and indicate what needs to be done
15:44:11 [JF]
PC: concern is that this document will not be published even into December
15:44:44 [JF]
JB: have already previewed the EO work, so there should not be a huge impediment there
15:45:08 [JF]
JB: this TF has stated multiple times what we believe is the most prudent path
15:45:33 [JF]
PC: Can respect this if TF can clearly define the bar that needs to be met
15:45:44 [JF]
JB: clarity is the dependance on the longdesc decision
15:46:09 [JF]
JS: I would say that that represents 90% of that
15:46:28 [Judy]
agenda?
15:46:37 [JF]
JS: however if we end up with enough significant changes there may be a need for another CfC
15:46:41 [Zakim]
-Rich_Schwerdtfeger
15:47:24 [JF]
JB: Makes sense to look at this after the bugs are filed
