Hello Everyone, Since last week's report we have had one NEW bug. We have had no NEEDSINFO, WONTFIX, WORKSFORME, FIXED, or LATER bug resolutions. It is anticipated that the survey for the CAPTCHA bug will happen soon, as a draft was presented to Mike Smith five weeks ago. We still need to agree on criteria for applying the "a11yTF" keyword. I strongly recommend that this is be completed soon, as it is a blocker for task force pursuit of work items key to our mission (text-alternatives, ARIA, canvas). The details are as follows. 1. NEW BUG: Bug 9623: "<details> and <summary> are missing from the strong aria semantics" table" reported by contributor@whatwg.org. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9623 My View: I suggest that we expedite defining "a11ytf" keyword criteria and procedures so we know if the task force can officially work on this item. Currently not having the "a11ytf" keyword designation blocks the task force from officially working on bugs key to the task force mission. After criteria is agreed to, I recommend that the a11ytf keyword be applied, if this bug meets the criteria. The March 18, 2010 teleconference minutes indicated that a non trivial cost exists to tagging bugs "a11ytf" and that the task force needs to agree on criteria for our decisions to take on bugs. A Wiki page brainstorms ideas for criteria and procedures for the 'a11yTF' keyword". http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/KeywordCriteria Related email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Apr/1286.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Apr/1301.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Apr/1303.html 2. CAPTCHA BUG: Hopefully the survey for the CAPTCHA bug will happen soon. A draft was delivered to Mike on March 21. The target time frame to go live was over four weeks ago. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/CAPTCHA_Survey http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0437.html Mike, do you need any more help with this? Is there anything else I can do to help move this forward? 3. ESTABLISHING "A11yTF" KEYWORD CRITERIA: We still need to agree on criteria for applying the "a11yTF" keyword. It would be good to settle this soon as this is a blocker for the task force pursuit of items key to our mission (i.e. Text Alternatives, ARIA). The March 18, 2010 teleconference minutes indicated that a non trivial cost exists to tagging bugs "a11ytf" and that the task force needs to agree on criteria for our decisions to take on bugs. A Wiki page brainstorms ideas begun in the email "Criteria for 'a11yTF' keyword application". http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/KeywordCriteria http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0438.html We currently have twenty nine HTML Spec bugs awaiting task force decision. Ian Hickson is editor of that document. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#HTML5_Spec_Bugs_Awaiting_A11yTF_Decision We currently have four Bugs on Document "HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives Bugs" awaiting task force decision. Steve Faulkner is editor of that document. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#Text_Alternatives_Techniques_Bugs_Awaiting_A11yTF_Decision We currently have four bugs that I am aware of that have Keyword "a11ytf" applied with no approval from the task force: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7056 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8674 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8715 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8827 The initial set of "A11y" bugs which were determined to have the "A11yTF" keyword applied to them in January 2009 are at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/accepted The initial set of "A11y" bugs which were determined not to have the "A11yTF" keyword applied to them in January 2009 are at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/rejected 4.
