Tzviya: I thought they were already connected

<janina> https://www.w3.org/TR/reporting/

JS: APA is poking into some corners, such as...

JS: Web Performance WG. Look at what the user actually got, not just what they are sending? How robust is this?

JS: Is that too heavy weight?

JB: There is a very large point is sustainability. Refresh burden, a cpst that some orgs have begun to quantify

JB: In April w3C I lead some things on sustainability, TrustWorthy canadian

JB: WE might get synergy there

JB: Can we brainstorm on this?

Performacne and Delivery aspect as RTF is working on that

JS: We expect i18n by TPAC

JB: What they have is looking at a screen, and has nothing to do with aural UIs

JS: We have exceeded what SMIL can give us

JB: Thanks

Recommended materials from TPAC sessions on working with COGA (note re-framing/generalizing topic)

JB: at last call an agenda request from Rain for COGATF

JB: It looked like it was one WG, it might be a big topic

JB: Rain has kindly added some stuff that was pre-recorded. For todays- call, please tell us Rain about what this is

Rain: n the emmail thread following this adgenda - there are two documents

Rain: We have this working doc

<Rain> Working document for inclusive working groups: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RbjN7fLaucSzVfTqQdoCHoX3GFEoyHz2iiz3ap9Yd6k/edit#heading=h.gsausbyr9qj2

Rain: COGA started in a messy google doc, and transformed it into, started as a clloab ofTF members

Rain: we have alot of unique blockers to collab. A lot of the tools dont wrk with the members of our group. We need options

Rain: What are the barriars?

<Rain> TPAC 2021 recording of How to work with COGA: https://watch.videodelivery.net/4212af346ecdba06922bb9442bd94996

<Rain> Slide deck: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2021Oct/att-0004/How_to_work_with_COGA_Presentation_TPAC2021.pdf

Rain: The google doc translated into the other docs - which is what we did for TPAC - that turned into a recording 2021 -how to work with COGA. Slide deck

<Rain> Meeting minutes: https://www.w3.org/2021/10/21-cogainclusion-minutes.html

Rain: What we dont have yet but we heard people want to be helpful for WAI is a cheat sheet

Rain: We haven't produced that yet - I woul dneed a huge amount of time

Rain: The other peice to the puzzle - the reason EO was included in the original request - these collabs are two ways

Rain: EO is trying to prioritize and manage - EO is trying to mitigate of what we are asking - COGA drosnt have the resources

Rain: Even when we try our best is to have a clear process and understanding how these interaction will work

RAin: a list of challaneges

Rain: I am worried EO is frustrated

Rain: We recognize that

Rain: WE want to make sure tht this is smooth - we are not handling it right. How can we better support EO and other groups?

Rain: How can we support structures, in my month I hope to be able to set that foundation

Rain: This is what is Hard for COGA. Ans how can it go both ways?

JB: I am hearing a clear intent in in reciprocity. I think that great

JB: Off the links is most of it is redundancies?

JB: Any thoughts?

RAin: Enjoys content through audio then the recordings is best - if you are going to do just one- the slides are closest to the cheat sheet.

Rain: Recording is about 40 minutes

Judy: any questions right now?

Ryladog: good idea and understand the difficulties

GeorgeK: improving communications is essential

GeorgeK: are there technologies getting in the way?

Rain: at a high level - github itself is challenging - not from a technical standpoint. Putting in a comment or editing is fine

Rain: email comms in general - everything is deeply threaded and very hard to find contextual threads leading to cognitive overload

Rain: when notifications enabled some of us are too overwhelmed by email. Can't get to what are meant to be reaching

GeorgeK: I think we all struggle with that. Present in my life too. Can symaphize with difficulty this presents

janina: I like that emphasis on the struggle with threading. pretty common for many people with or withour disabilities

janina: kind of amazed that mail user agents haven't looked into this. reminds me of a user agent where it said don't have those deep deep quotes

janina: a python script

janina: some things that ADAPT could give us ways to build simplification

janina: want to make sure RQTF is looking at this too

janina: not just google docs and github which people find difficult for different reasons

tzviya: everyone agreeing that threading can be an issue. wondering whether documenting best practices would be useful.

tzviya: find replying at bottom is almost impossible

<Zakim> tzviya, you wanted to ask about offering best practices

Judy: want to talk about repricocity - we have so many microcultures even in WAI - and every group and even TF has a different expectation

GeorgeK: hear comments about threading etc. just because the software has the capability. Learning how to use things can be difficult. Folks helped me get going with github. Think there needs to be ways to provide help and training.

GeorgeK: github and email threading are 2 things that could be helpful for everybody

Judy: Tooling and interpersonal part are 2 buckets

Rain: Learning disabilities are a disability. I know how to use threading. Have 3000 unread emails.

Rain: I shut down and cannot function. Don't realize how huge this is as a struggle

<Ryladog> You are a highly competent individual

Rain: some folks written communications are not possible

<GeorgeK> Thank you for that.
