> Going through the bugs the task force should take on (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html), I was able to put nearly all of them into a category. I think it will be most useful for us to look at them by category, address general issues for that category, and then address the specific filed bugs for that category. Here are the categories I arrived at:
> text alternatives - mechanisms to define text alternatives images and other types of objects
> summary - table summary
> media - direct accessibility of included media (audio, video, etc)
> canvas - direct accessibility of canvas
> aria - aria integration or harmonization issues
> drag and drop - accessibility of drag and drop
> display - display rules and quirks for features
> focus - management and reaction to keyboard focus
> labels - how to label elements (distinct from text alternatives)
> semantics - full set of required semantics don't appear to be defined
> Looked at this way, there are only 10 major topics (at present) for the task force to consider. As we close on a given topic, we should be able to close on a number of bugs all at once.
