<liam> [ mihnea_____ is Mihnea Ovidenie ]
<liam> scribenick: clapierre
our meetings will change from 1PM / 4PM EST starting next week will be 8AM/ 11 AM EST every Friday.
Mia, Flash conversation is very controversial, but all was said in the email exchange.
<liam> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/flash.html <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/flash.html>
liam, javascript should be more accessible than flash
deborah, 99% javascript should be accessible if done right
liam, what does w3C need to provide to publishers to help them make their content accessible
mia, we know publishers doesn't want to be sued, and to sell their content
… digital publications ties into user agent in a way, its not different than browsers but you can't really do that with readers.
deborah, no good accessible epub authoring tools and we probably won't get around to ATAG.
mia, how do we really make this work when not all readers even support the current standards.
…, nvda now supports MathML
clapierre, Tzyvia said that we are tasked to create a W3C Note for the W3C audience. Not Publishers that will be handled by BISG and other groups.
liam, epub does use HTML5 and css and w3c can change those specs
…, BISG can write their best practices and reference the W3C standards.
mia, we need to define "DPUB" epub, web publications, self publishing
liam, professionally mediated digital publications could be our definition of DPUB.
…, if a publisher (wiley, time, etc..) need something more than open web platform provides then this is what we are here to accommodate
<liam> scribenick: liam
clapierre: for WCAG general techniques we have about a dozen not required, and 6 or so we're not sure of

<clapierre> G200: Opening new windows and tabs from a link only when necessary
<clapierre> G201: Giving users advanced warning when opening a new window
<clapierre> G180: we need an adapted version for DPUB.
<clapierre> mia, this may be a UA issue?
<clapierre> deborah, too often that is hard coded by developers and has to be overrriden.
G178 - may be part of the document
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G181.html <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G181.html> on session timeout and not hving to reenter data
may be relevant
(G181)
liam: e.g. for saving an annotation or notes on a remote server
G185 - no
G189 no, it's awful :)
but we have to think about this - you've got omething that can't be made accessible but there's an alteriative
so we need to make sure we cover that case but we may cover it somewhere else
<clapierre> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G200.html <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G200.html>
GK: longdesc often in another window
footnotes, endnotes
bibliographic refs
<clapierre> I think G200 is relevant to DPUB.
G201 - yes
