reports from TF Subgroups (Canvas; Video; ...)
Reports from Task force sub groups

MS: First up <canvas>, Rich?

RS: We meet before the break, no real movement. Am setting up a call. We
are discussing the shadow DOM and content editable sections etc.
... Looking at rendering visual elements of the same components also.
... Looking at CSS3 media queries, and hooking up with David Singer.
Prob no issue adding additional properties etc but there should be an
alternative even i no absolute match.
... Looking at alternative content, mashups etc. Fragments vs source
objects a la <video> elements. Here you may go to an external service
and grab content.
... There are many APIs for merging content, the question is for a
fragment do we want to support them or have a seperate page (like in an
iframe)

RS; The source for media types is limited, for objects to be pulled in
and we need to make sure that we need a fragment - that will change spec

MS: Have you reached concensus, is there a bug?

RS: What is the process? Discuss on list or raise bug?
... If it is not going to change there is really no bug. I want to
discuss that first.

MS: Ok. we need actionable bugs, this needs to be clear.

RS: I will post to the HTML WG and Ian for his thoughts.

DS: I think that filling bugs is a good idea, otherwise we may be asking
the editor to do something prematurely.

RS: Do you want to talk to address this?

DS: We should discuss it first.

RS: What do people think about using fragments as alternative types etc?
... I want to get peoples thoughts.

MS: It sounds like <canvas> is moving along fine
... Dave can you give us a summary on <video>?
Video

DS: We should start on the wiki, not a lot to report right now..but work
on the wiki will be a good place to start.

MS: I'll put the URL into minutes later.

ARIA integration followup from previous discussion <-
http://www.w3.org/2009/12/10-html-a11y-minutes.html#ActionSummary
ARIA integration

<kliehm> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Main_Page

MS: The first call focussed on ARIA integration and getting the
conformance criteria agreed upon.
... So how much progress have we made? Steve?

SF: We are a standstill at the moment.
... Same as where we were before Xmas

MS: What do people think we can do to move this forward?

SF: Do it piecemeal and file bugs as we go.

MS: Ok
... Any objections?

CS: I have a suggestion, could be work on it during this call?

MS: Yes

SF: Can we send a bug to the list, discuss at meeting and then it would
be filed?

MS: Lets do that

SF: Bugs can be posted and brought in, discussed etc. Good way to get going.

MS: Good idea, we need to make this a priority. Lets do that.

SF: When we put a bug in that is rejected, does it go into issue
tracker? We don't want loads of bugs but issues about ARIA that need to
be addressed?
... So a bug that is rejected gets escalated to the issue tracker.

MS: Yes, right.

CS: Are we still not deciding what the categories are?

SF: We can talk it

CS: The glaring issues etc

SF: Yes

MS: Ok, thats all on that.

<Laura> Bug Collection, Development, Status and Resolution:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs

MS: These are the bugs that are marked with the numeronym a11y
... Some resolved, fixed etc
... I will look at the ones that are not marked with task force keywords
... In the interest of looking at the most recent..

<MikeSmithX> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8674

MS; [To all] Please look through the list, if you want to discuss on the
call get in queue

MS: Hixie has rejected this one, and made a suggestion.

<discussion on <menu> and bug>

SF: I am confused about comment - breaking backwards compat?

MS: Yeah, me 2
... Do we want to add the task force keyword to this?
... Yes, no?

SF: Maybe Rich could answer this?

CS: Implementors I talk to will not want to base their APIs on nesting.

SF: Right

JS: The proposed solution may not be adequate

MS: I will add the keyword, if new info comes along etc I will add to
the bug
... Otherwise we will consider escalating.

CS: Henny can you talk to Opera?

HS: Yes

<Laura> Escalating a Bug to an Issue:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/Escalating_a_Bug_to_an_Issue

<MikeSmithX> ACTION: Cynthia to follow up with IE team about whether
implementers are willing to use parent/child/nesting relationships could
be used in mappings logic [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2010/01/07-html-a11y-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-8 - Follow up with IE team about whether
implementers are willing to use parent/child/nesting relationships could
be used in mappings logic [on Cynthia Shelly - due 2010-01-14].

MS: I won't go thru all these now, does anyone have high priority bugs
they want to talk about on this call?

<silence>

MS: What about 8671?

<MikeSmithX> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8671

MS: Making the @label required?
... It is a significant change to the spec..

CS: Do we need a consensus on what we need to talk about?

<Zakim> Michael_Cooper, you wanted to volunteer to take an action item
to make a proposal for which bugs we should take on, for review at next
meeting

<MikeSmithX> ack

MC: I volunteer to take an action for the bugs we should track,

I'll take an action

<MikeSmithX> ACTION: Cooper to make a proposal for which bugs we should
take on, for review at next meeting [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2010/01/07-html-a11y-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-9 - Make a proposal for which bugs we should
take on, for review at next meeting [on Michael Cooper - due 2010-01-14].

SF: Can we denote if we don't want to discuss them
... There is a duplication maybe?

MS: Yes

MC: I can use bugzilla

DS: Comments would be best, to say this has or hasn't been discussed.

MC: We should remove the TF keyword..to reduce noise etc

MS: Yes, thats a good idea
... Anything else that needs attention?

DS: Gez has been entering a lot of bugs, I am concerned about say Media
a11y issue, and single pixel issues but maybe we miss the big picture?

JOC: Good point David, I agree

MC: We can use bugzilla for various groupings and create relationships
between bugs.

DS: There is a big picture that needs to be developed.

JS: What Gez is doing, started at TPAC. There may have been a
misunderstanding as to how much work needed to be done, so we wanted to
identify issues. Item by item and pixel by pixel may not be the best
approach, but we just need to identify what needs to be worked on.

<dsinger> Ok

JS: Keywords would provide a working mechanism, to get them on the table
as such.
Priority / Severity level of HTML WG bugzilla bugs
Priority Severity Level of Bugs

MS: I spoke with MC and JS about this, the chairs perspective is that
they dont pay much attention to the Priority levels etc.
... They have no significance..Hixie has changed some of the bugs - the
editors change them, others with access can change them- not really an
issue for the WG or the a11y TF. Thoughts?

JS: Again, a misunderstanding. The advice would be to leave it at default.

MS: Yes
Validation Tools

MS: We will talk about this next week.
New Business
AOB

MS: ?
... Ok, next meeting. Next week, same time.
... Volunteers for scribe next week?

SF: I'll try

<dsinger> Bye
