   janina: fyi, we've surveyed about different/rotating telcon
   schedule

   janina: the current schedule is late in the day for europe and
   middle of night for asia
   ... survey is open through tomorrow
   ... we'll talk it over on the list and on the call

   richardschwerdtfe: what sort of conflicts do we have?

   janina: [describes global interest]

   MichaelC: each of the two times in the survey would gain us one
   person who is not currently attending this time
   ... gain of one person might not be worth it; need more people
   to vote

   janina: the education and outreach wai wg maintains overview
   pages for each wai activity

     [14] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-indie-ui/2012Oct/0002.html

   janina: they've drafted an overview page for the wai indie-ui
   wg
   ... please take a look, check for accuracy, etc.
   ... audience is non-technical
   ... should be readily understandable, accurate, and
   comprehensive

   janina: any questions about this page?

   <clown> actual page is here:
   [16]http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/IndieUI_Overview

     [16] http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/IndieUI_Overview

   <shepazu> [17]http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/IndieUI_Overview

     [17] http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/IndieUI_Overview

   shepazu: could we take a minute now to skim?

   janina: yes

   richardschwerdtfe: the introduction only talks about device
   independent events and not the user context
   ... could also mention scroll wheel in scrolling example

   janina: [introduces Shawn]

   <Ryladog> +1 to include AT in Intro

   Shawn: we're trying to cover what this is for in the
   introduction, and then we talk about each document in the
   documents section
   ... the intro captures the idea, why we're doing this

   richardschwerdtfe: in the first sentence, not just a wide range
   of devices, but also a wide range of users and the contexts in
   which they operate
   ... could use more of a "command" example like "open", instead
   of a device-tied example like "scroll"
   ... you might have an "open" event, top open a folder, to open
   a new row in your document
   ... or other high-level examples like zoom in, zoom out

   shepazu: scroll seems less compelling, it usually has a lot of
   existing affordances

   Shawn: for either zoom or open, what would the sentence be
   like?

   <andy> hoper - sorry - just saw this - I suggested "wide range
   of user needs and devices"

   richardschwerdtfe: "a user operating a web application may wish
   to open a folder using a broad range of device commands such as
   a gesture, a voice command, etc. Indie-UI allows the device to
   send a simple 'open' event to the application regardless of how
   the user signaled..."
   ... in both the intro and the documents section

   Shawn: would this be an additional example or replacing the
   existing one?

   shepazu: combine the two
   ... [expands on that]

   <Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to suggest escape/dismiss example
   and to say "open" will be too easily confused with "click"

   <Ryladog> Better to use the word 'Context' (as Rich suggests)
   with (use needs, preferences, access device) in parans after
   it. Example: 'Context' (as Rich suggests) with (use needs,
   preferences, access device)

   jcraig: wordsmithing is probably not the best use of telcon
   time

   <Ryladog> Soory, somehow I muted myself

   jcraig: rich's example of open could also be confused by users,
   like scroll

   <Ryladog> Zakim unmute me

   jcraig: we could use an escape or dismiss gesture
   ... lots of people capture ESC key

   Ryladog: the word 'context' as rich suggested is key
   ... important to make this broader, and 'context' does that

   Shawn: scroll seems so much stronger for novices
   ... could you say the same sort of thing for escape or dismiss?

   janina: we're not sure what to call it, so it might not be a
   good example
   ... zoom is also common, like scroll

   Shawn: do you want me to draft wording for zoom?
   ... is it ok to put out a draft of this with scroll?

   shepazu: that's fine

   janina: you can send it to the mailing list

   clown: if we want to replace the scroll event example, we could
   use a checkbox
   ... [describes various ways of toggling a checkbox]

   jcraig: checkbox is already covered by click events
   ... scroll is fine for now, zoom too

   <Zakim> Joseph_Scheuhammer, you wanted to suggest a checkbox as
   a very concrete case.

   jcraig: some examples of escape or dismiss: kbd ESC, voice over
   has a gesture, android has a back button

   andy: re: the "indie ui: user context" paragraph, user settings
   is too narrow, maybe 'preferences' would be better?

   Shawn: we could swap them around, would decouple it from AT

   andy: the word 'settings' doesn't say what sort of settings

   shepazu: can we wordsmith over email?

   janina: i think we should

   Shawn: will try to get an email out today

admin: WAI IndieUI WG Telecon on 10 October

   janina: those of you who are in the wai wg, we have a brief
   telcon next week
   ... for administrative topics
   ... re: TPAC, our agenda is on our wiki page

   <MichaelC> [18]IndieUI TPAC 2012 meeting page

     [18] http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Meetings/TPAC2012

Admin: TPAC; agenda+ Admin: Pointer Events Submission [See

   janina: we've had a submission; ac is considering it

   ArtB: web events wg welcomes the submission
   ... if we assume the wg gets created, it affects some web
   events work
   ... and our participation in indi-ui tf
   ... web events will continue working on the touch events v1
   ... to CR
   ... we will stop work on touch events v2
   ... instead we'll work with pointer events wg
   ... once touch events v1 rec is published, web events wg will
   close
   ... so how do web events participants continue participating in
   this tf?
   ... most straightforward way would be to ask web events folks
   to join the wai wg

   shepazu: [talks about the pointer events model; prefers it to
   the touch events model]
   ... if web events shuts down, don't know what that will mean
   wrt my involvement in this tf

   MichaelC: if that happens, should this tf become joint with
   pointer events wg?

   shepazu: no
   ... they want to be very focused, don't want to veer off on
   high-level events

   janina: how does the pointer events model handle multiple
   finger events?

   shepazu: it doesn't do gestures, it does multiple fingers

   <Zakim> janina, you wanted to ask how pointer events will
   handle multip-finger touch events

   ArtB: we should keep pointer events really narrowly scoped

   MichaelC: web events wg participants in this tf are invited to
   join the wai indie-ui tf

   janina: AC voting goes on through the 25th
   ... not a done deal yet

   MichaelC: 4 or 5 people would be affected

Editor's Draft? [19]https://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/track/actions/open

     [19] https://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/track/actions/open

   janina: jcraig, let's have a regular check-in; any updates on
   the draft?

   jcraig: working through the open issues as i have time

   <jcraig> action-5?

   <trackbot> ACTION-5 -- Joseph Scheuhammer to author draft spec.
   change for james craig to include place holders for agreed upon
   events today in -- due 2012-08-29 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [20]http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/track/actions/5

     [20] http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/track/actions/5

   jcraig: there's one action item on joseph

   clown: can close it or assign it to jcraig:

   janina: any questions?

Use Cases Walk-Through; Continued
[21]http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requirements

     [21] http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requirements

   janina: we should focus a significant amount of time at tpac on
   use cases

   richardschwerdtfe: pick back up at use case 6

   <richardschwerdtfe>
   [22]http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requiremen
   ts#S6:_Command_move_the_focus_point_within_a_UI_component_down_
   to_the_next_focusable_item_within_a_UI_component

     [22] http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requirements#S6:_Command_move_the_focus_point_within_a_UI_component_down_to_the_next_focusable_item_within_a_UI_component

   <clown>
   [23]http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requiremen
   ts#S6:_Command_move_the_focus_point_within_a_UI_component_down_
   to_the_next_focusable_item_within_a_UI_component

     [23] http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Use_Cases_and_Requirements#S6:_Command_move_the_focus_point_within_a_UI_component_down_to_the_next_focusable_item_within_a_UI_component

   richardschwerdtfe: if you're in a widget and want to move down
   in the widget, could have a command for that

   jcraig: do we already have something like this?
   ... it says "move down to the next *focusable* item" instead of
   just "the next item"
   ... basically the equivalent of TAB or Shift-TAB

   richardschwerdtfe: what terminology would be better?

   jcraig: we could just remove the word "focusable"

   richardschwerdtfe: if you have a list box, going to each of the
   items

   jcraig: following para might need some wordsmithing, or a note
   that says this isn't the same as TAB/Shift-TAB

   richardschwerdtfe: maybe "within a ui component"?

   janina: isn't this about local navigation? "local next"/"local
   previous"

   <Ryladog> FYI........Many User cases in this doc have the typo
   "supports supports" in the first sentence

   jcraig: let's start by taking the word "focusable" out and go
   from there

   <Ryladog> +1 remove word Focus

   richardschwerdtfe: do we need an action item to get this into
   the spec?

   jcraig: i think the use cases are clear; we should keep working
   on them in the wiki
   ... some of them are already covered, some aren't
   ... i will do a comparison with the spec
   ... use case 7 also needs that same change

   clown: it shouldn't be down/up, it should be next/previous
   ... set of items, there's a next/prev relative to where you are

   richardschwerdtfe: left & right v. up & down, we need this
   separate for two-dimensional widgets

   Ryladog: also 3D

   janina: we decided to put 3D off

   clown: in grid, next/prev in row, next/prev in col

   richardschwerdtfe: what about a flow diagram?

   clown: suppose you have a tree like OS X's Finder
   ... could be rendered on an iPhone as swiping left/right
   ... still a tree
   ... shouldn't be tied to the rendering

   <Zakim> Joseph_Scheuhammer, you wanted to suggest next/previous
   instead of up/down

   janina: agree with clown

   Ryladog: for the moment, yes

   richardschwerdtfe: how about "in a horizontal direction, next
   and previous"?

   Caroline_Jay: i think this important for grid widgets like date
   pickers
   ... i tend to agree with clown

   jcraig: use case 6 through 9 are all in this "linear
   directional navigation" context
   ... clown had the right idea, this is a general next/previous
   ... visual left/right is locale dependent

   <Ryladog> what about vertical languages?

   jcraig: "general next" and "general previous", which might be
   left/right in ltr languages
   ... grids might need special directional navigation events
   ... once you're in a managed focus widget like a grid or a
   tree, then the next/prev is like "change selected value"
   ... need to indicate that there's a multi-dimensional value
   change

   <Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to mention s8 and s9. I like
   Joseph's idea of vertical vs linear

   richardschwerdtfe: you might be moving in increments?

   jcraig: something like a slider, next notch in slider is
   incrementing the value of the slider
   ... but tree widgets have a selection state; current use case
   for incrementing slider may also apply for these sorts of cases
   ... we should focus on the primary next/previous instead of
   left/right
   ... would be good to have special-cased "vertical
   next/previous"
   ... vertical v. linear

   andy: isn't this just like tab order anyway?

   <clown> "it's"

   andy: the case for general next/previous within some order
   ... what does next/previous mean in a tree with unordered
   subnodes
   ... next/prev gets parameter that varies depending on the kind
   of object

   Ryladog: definitely don't use right/left due to vertical and
   rtl languages

   richardschwerdtfe: we've agreed on a next and previous; should
   i separate out vertical and horizontal?

   jcraig: i'll send an email to the list

   janina: yes, let's do this on the list

   jcraig: it's possible that this is just covered by focus events
   ... we can have a separate at focus (point of regard focus)
   different from the kbd focus
   ... then we don't need next/prev, we just alert the app "this
   is the item i'm on"

   Ryladog: richardschwerdtfe, there's diagonal too

   richardschwerdtfe: they had directional work in SVG 1.2 tiny,
   could look at that

   janina: let's try to figure out how to group these for better
   tpac time
   ... next meeting in 2 weeks, wai wg in 1 week

   RRSAgent: make logs public
