Minutes from DPUB A11Y TF Meeting 8 May 2015

These meetings are manual, because I had a Zakim failure. Apologies,
everyone. (Ivan, is it possible to retroactively make them formal
minutes on the website?)

8 May 2015

Attendees:

Present: Tzviya, Deborah, Mia
Chair: Deborah
Scribe: Tzviya

We talked primarily about how we would like to manage the meeting with
BISG in 2 1/2 weeks.

Concerns:

publishers are not currently creating accessible content

We need to focus on what the DPUB accessibility task force and the BISG
group can jointly change. No point in being sad over things we don't
control.

What service can A11y TF provide?

When BISG sees gaps in publisher knowledge, they can contact A11y TF to point out where W3C info is failing.

This means we need to provide examples of knowledge gaps.
Mia will provide example from UAAG, Tzviya from ATAG
We are choosing these sources because we want to remind people to think
about those -- it's really where the biggest knowledge gaps live.

ask BISG people to go back and think of examples of what publishers don't know

Here's a useful link about the DOM and the a11y tree: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/03/16/web-accessibility-with-accessibility-api/


our goal is that everyone who leaves that meeting has a specific task
and they know what it is.
