Issue 240, w3c/adapt#240
TPAC prep (break-out, hand-out, authoring tool) - https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/
janina: We need the hand out so that people "get it"
… [people being developers, UA vendors, etc.]
janina: We could apply a similar approach to things like sign language in future?
… Now there's a way to support a population who have not been able to access web content.
matatk: We need to decide on an example text; a design; and then make it happen!

^ email from Janina on AAC handout
matatk: This is a great approach; to talk about the need for the work. I think we should do it more generally, not _just_ about Chatper titles, but like the approach.
janina: [notes the section about how (not) to do it, and the suitability of the example because this is about marking up something that is not too dense with information]
Sharon: What if people have not come across AAC before?
janina: They'll see it on the brochure, as an example.
Sharon: Next steps on this?
janina: To see if we can generalize the start of the first part of the draft. Agree should be a bit more general.
… Chapters in media is a great use case for when we meet WHATWG, for example.
janina: I'll send E. A. Draffan an email about this (noting the first sentence is perhaps too specific); will ask for general guidance on the rest.
matatk: For design, suggest double-sided; one set of symbols on each side. Same text on both.
break-out
matatk: Been working on break-out slides to update what we had. Aiming to be more story-oriented.
janina: We should include a11y for Children use cases too.
matatk: Need to get in as quickly as we can.
janina: The a11y for Children work brings back some of the back-burner things that we had last year.
… I'm inclined to feature AAC.
matatk: Focus almost entirely on AAC, then mention the other stuff briefly?
janina: +1
Sharon: +1
Sharon: Symbols are a big deal now that we're at CR, but it's important to talk about where we're going, possibly for recruitment too.
janina: This allows us to highlight the CG and COGA too. Make their importance clear, though we will concentrate on the parts closer to implementation.
