Tracker retirement

mc: Lisa noted issues with zakim start meeting command and the replacement for issue tracking.
… Checked with Ralph today and hope to get things documented better

<janina> I use it all the time, but have to do /invite zakim before zakim, start meeting

mc: There are ways to make it easier to make sure the meeting name is set, etc. so we'll have instructions on that.

<MichaelC> w3c/Guide#170

<Jem> +1 to jania for using invite zakim first.

mc: Above issue opened on this. Suggest anyone who has comments, please add to this issue.
… This will sit for a few weeks before we get moving on this.

jk: Was hoping this would be an easy issue to address, but it seems it's more complicated.

mc: We actually need a change in policy and need the issues addressed so we can get that change in policy.
… Our needs without harming others' needs.

W3C site beta

mc: Beta version of the W3C site will be announced today

<MichaelC> https://beta.w3.org/

mc: It's been under redesign and scaled back. Some amount of addressing accessibility in this redesign.
… Take a look at it, and if there's anything blocking your ability to using it let us know.
… Not all content will be there yet. Don't want you to test, WAI will be looking at it.

Jem The WAI template is different from the W3C template?

mc: Yes, we may merge them in the future but not at this time.

<Jem> It is good to hear because ARIA APG just redo the site with WAI template.

mk: Is that the case for WAI website? It is retaining its current design?

mc: Yes, we are keeping the WAI design.

<Jem> https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/ is the site which used w3c wai template.

mc: at least for the rest of this year. Will look into a rebuild and possible integration with the W3C site, but it's unknown how that will work.

mk: Is the calendaring part of the W3C website?

mc: Yes, it is but we don't know if there are accessibility improvements in that yet.

<MichaelC> w3c/w3c-website

mk: Should we be filing new issues for any accessibility issues, or is it the same content as before?

mc: It's useful to file any issues to the w3c-website github repository, link above.
… Don't know the timeline for review, probably not super-long, but the date will be in the announcement.

Call time

janina: The only conflict with this time remaining was COGA and most people could start that call 1/2 hour earlier.

janina: This will enable Lisa to be able to join this call. They may have that conversation in the COGA meeting today.

mc: Hearing that, we'll drop meeting time from this agenda and keep this call day/time.

mc: One other topic, Making a presentation on transitioning WAI and what staff are focusing on, priorities, connections to W3C.
… Next WAI coordination call we'll look at the presentation. Want to look at this before CSUN.
