15:05:17 [Zakim]
agendum 9 -- Proposed WoT Comments & Matter/Thread https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2023Jan/0000.html -- taken up [from janina]
15:06:14 [PaulG]
janina: there's a new spec affecting WoT to certify devices that would solve some of our issues
15:07:19 [PaulG]
Gottfried: I'm not sure how much we can do about Matter. It's going to be the standard. Thread is the low-level standard for transmission.
15:07:43 [PaulG]
... WoT is sort of a competitor to Matter
15:08:12 [PaulG]
janina: it's from a separate organization but it might be helpful to the problems we've identified we call "middleware"
15:08:57 [PaulG]
... aggregation technology should be helped by it
15:09:29 [PaulG]
Gottfried: I haven't looked into Matter in depth, the issues remain the same but the technology has advanced and industry seems ready to collaborate
15:09:46 [janina]
q?
15:09:50 [PaulG]
... I think the Matter standards is just a roof on the other standards
15:10:05 [PaulG]
... to allow better interop
15:10:19 [PaulG]
... do we plan to talk to Matter experts or WoT developers?
15:10:54 [PaulG]
janina: I think we should take our concerns to WoT as the experts we've worked with before
15:11:20 [PaulG]
... we can ask them to clarify or to have a joint meeting on our concerns
15:11:32 [PaulG]
Gottfried: I still see this as a competitor standard
15:11:45 [PaulG]
... I don't think there's space for two
15:12:04 [janina]
q?
15:12:15 [PaulG]
Gottfried: I support talking to WoT as they probably have a better idea of how they stand compared to Matter
15:13:22 [janina]
q?
15:13:51 [PaulG]
Gottfried: I'm thinking about how you find devices in public spaces which is mostly neglected by developers
15:14:01 [PaulG]
... which affects accessibility
15:14:19 [PaulG]
janina: I'll take an action to send a note to them
15:15:38 [PaulG]
niklasegger: I agree that Matter could be the "winner" here after doing some research. Security is a big reason for it.
15:16:04 [PaulG]
Gottfried: it could get extended to work in public spaces
15:16:29 [janina]
q?
15:17:06 [PaulG]
Lionel_Wolberger: I would add that Meta has an unsolved problem to present the data of the environment around us
15:17:39 [PaulG]
... WoT will mean actual physical interaction in space not just "I see WiFi near me"

zakim, take up item 8
15:19:15 [Zakim]
agendum 8 -- CSS Update (Paul) https://github.com/w3c/css-a11y/issues -- taken up [from janina]
15:19:32 [matatk]
scribe+ matatk
15:19:37 [PaulG]
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7761
15:20:08 [matatk]
PaulG: This is how outline style differs across browsers due to a fuzzy part of the spec. This can affect the focus ring.
15:21:22 [matatk]
... The group resolved to change the spec: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7761#issuecomment-1440512109
15:21:45 [janina]
q?
15:21:47 [matatk]
... This doesn't conflict with anything in WCAG. They've done research to ensure it won't break accessibility. Should be more consistent across UAs as a result.
15:22:42 [matatk]
... There will be more debate on this as UAs implement it, but the change is due to happen.

15:24:14 [Roy]
subtopic: Media Working Group Rechartering
15:24:16 [Roy]
- charter: https://w3c.github.io/charter-media-wg/
15:25:00 [matatk]
Roy: The charter mentions accessibility and APA.
15:25:13 [matatk]
matatk: I like this part "Each specification should contain a section on accessibility that describes..." :-)
15:26:23 [matatk]
janina: We've had a long and good relationship with this group, going back to HTML5 developent.
15:26:29 [matatk]
Roy: They noted the FAST, too.
15:26:33 [matatk]
janina: I have no concerns; others?
15:26:41 [Lionel_Wolberger]
+1 great that the FAST is explicitly listed

15:28:09 [matatk]
Roy: They want to publish these as CR next month.
15:28:40 [matatk]
janina: We are generally OK with these, as we know ARIA knows their stuff, unless anyone wants to dive into these?
15:28:58 [matatk]
... This is about mapping ARIA semantics into DPUB, and the AAM is about how those mappigns are instantiated across different platforms.
15:29:53 [matatk]
matatk: I'm looking out of interest (relating to the Landmarks extension).
15:32:13 [Lionel_Wolberger]
The landmark extension is available at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/landmark-navigation-via-k/ddpokpbjopmeeiiolheejjpkonlkklgp

15:34:53 [Roy]
https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/42
15:35:39 [matatk]
matatk: Wanted to confirm there was a way to do textual metadata (remember our SVG Native review); according to their FAST report, there is: https://github.com/w3c/PNG-spec/issues/228#issuecomment-1279341797
15:35:44 [matatk]

matatk: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2023Feb/0035.html
15:42:15 [matatk]
matatk: Fredrik's review of EditContext API - https://www.w3.org/TR/edit-context/
15:42:15 [matatk]
matatk: Sounds overall very good from Fredrik's review, but it lacks an accessibility considerations section.
15:42:46 [matatk]
... We should ask for one if there's no obvious parent spec?
15:43:52 [matatk]
janina: Fredrik's already written a proposed section; we could just ask them to include that.
15:43:55 [matatk]
matatk: +1
15:45:00 [matatk]
janina: I'm inclined to ask Fredrik to ask the editors of that document to include his proposed section, noting that we're finding it increasingly useful to have these appendices.
15:45:25 [matatk]
janina: Any objections?
15:45:42 [matatk]
Roy: I think we can file an issue in their GitHub repo. This is a FPWD FYI.
15:46:01 [matatk]
janina: +1; thanks Roy

"Secure the Web Forward" Worskhop -> https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/370
15:50:48 [matatk]

matatk: Looks quite low-level.
15:53:28 [matatk]

15:53:37 [matatk]
