Hello Everyone, Since last week's report we have had zero WONTFIX, NEEDSINFO, WORKSFORME, INVALID, or FIXED bug resolutions. No bugs have been reopened. Seven NEW a11y bugs were reported. Seventeen bugs need an A11yTF decision on whether to be tagged "A11yTF" or not. It would be good if this could happen at one of the next teleconferences so we don't get too far behind. I think I have previously made recommendations on most of the 17 bugs in the weekly bug reports or in this one. Maciej sent a message to the HTML working group today regarding the process and a specific timetable for VERIFYING and CLOSING old bugs and moving them to a terminal state. I queried the a11ytf subset for what is relevant to this group. The details are as follows. 1. NEW BUGS: I filed seven new bugs. Maciej had asked me [1] to provided bugs for the differences between Ian's draft and the Change Proposal that I drafted to implement WAI CG's text alternative consensus document. [2] I suggest that the a11ytf keyword be applied to the seven bugs as there are dependencies on Bug 8171 "Implement the text alternatives proposal from WAI" and are directly related to HTML Issue 31. The bugs are: Bug 9212: "Change the Generator Mechanism for img from Document Level to Element Level". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9212 Bug 9213: "HTML5 Lacks a Way to Programmatically-Determine Missing Text Alternatives". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9213 Bug 9214: Allow role="presentation" on img. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9214 Bug 9215: "Provide a Webcam example that is in accord with WCAG 2 or Defer to 'HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives'". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9215 Bug 9216: "Provide a CAPTCHA example that is in accord with WCAG 2 or Defer to "HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives'". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9216 Bug 9217: "Remove the Paragraph-Section-Heading loophole for not providing a text alternative. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9217 Bug 9218: "Enable Automatic Validators to Programmatically Determine the Presence or Absence of a Set of Text Alternatives". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9218 2. BUGS THAT NEED A11YTF DECISIONS ON WHETHER TO BE TAGGED "A11YTF" OR NOT. We have fifteen HTML5 spec bugs that await an A11yTF decision on whether to be tagged "A11yTF" or not. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#HTML5_Spec_Bugs_Awaiting_A11yTF_Decision We have two text alternatives techniques bugs that await an A11yTF decision on whether to be tagged "A11yTF" or not. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#Text_Alternatives_Techniques_Bugs_Awaiting_A11yTF_Consideration LC Suggestion: The task force should decide on these at one of the next teleconferences so we don't get too far behind. I have previously made recommendations on most of the 17 bugs in these weekly bug reports. 3. OLD RESOLVED BUGS: Maciej sent a message [2] today to the HTML working group regarding the process and timetable for VERIFYING and CLOSING old bugs. I have queried the relevant a11ytf subset. We have 41 a11ytf bugs in the RESOLVED state that have not been moved to VERIFY or CLOSED, and so they are not in a terminal state per the HTML WG decision policy: http://tinyurl.com/ycntekw Seven of the 41 were moved to RESOLVED before last October, when the HTML WG started discussing the new Decision Policy: http://tinyurl.com/y9gomut Maciej strongly encourages everyone to review bugs they originated and place them in CLOSED state if they accept the resolution, or reopen or escalate the bug if not. Bugs 7404 and 7011 seem to have been escalated to the canvas issue although 7404 doesn't say that on it. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7404 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/74 Bug 7362 was escalated to the title issue. It explicitly says that on the bug. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7362 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/80 Bugs 7633 and 7539 seem to have been escalated to the table summary issue although 7539 doesn't explicitly say that on the bug. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7539 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/32 Bug 5758 video seem to have been escalated to the video issue although 5758 doesn't explicitly say that on the bug. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5758 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/9 The only bug that appears not to have been escalated to an issue is Rich Schwerdtfeger's Bug 7721 for Drag and Drop. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7721 Maciej has said that he will be moving these older type bugs that are not escalated to VERIFIED [4] by the end of the week. If any are still in VERIFIED after a month from Friday, then he will mark them as NoReply, putting them in a terminal state. I suggest the 6 bugs be explicitly linked to the appropriate tracker issue. And for the drag and drop Bug if Rich so desires he could reopen the bug or raise a new issue for it. 4.
