Hello Everyone, Since last week's report one bug has been fixed. Details are in section one below. One new a11y bug was reported. Details are in section two below. A draft survey for the CAPTCHA bug was presented to Mike Smith eleven weeks ago. Details are in section three below. The Task Force still has not agreed on criteria or procedure for applying the "a11yTF" keyword to a11y bugs. Details are in section four below. 1. FIXED BUG: Bug 9835: "Remove image analysis" reported by Sam Ruby. Sam filed this bug as a directive to the editor to settle Issue 66. Ian removed the sentence from the W3C version of HTML5. Thank you. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9835 Ian's Check-in comment: "Checked in as WHATWG revision r5101. Remove a paragraph from the W3C version by request of the chairs. Add a list of differences between the versions of the spec to the WHATWG version now that there's more than a few. Add a paragraph to the W3C version mentioning this. Make it easier to keep track of what is in what version of the spec when editing." The WHATWG version reads: <!--END w3c-html--><!--POLITICS--> User agents may also apply heuristics to help the user make use of the image when the user is unable to see it, e.g. due to a visual disability or because they are using a text terminal with no graphics capabilities. Such heuristics could include, for instance, optical character recognition (OCR) of text found within the image. <!--START w3c-html--><!--POLITICS--> The relevant list item in the WHATWG Version is: <li>The W3C version omits a paragraph of implementation advice for political reasons.</li> Full differences are at: http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5100&to=5101 2. NEW BUG: Bug 9845: "Provide reference and info about HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives in html5 spec." reported by Steve Faulkner. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9845 3. CAPTCHA BUG: A draft survey for the CAPTCHA bug was delivered to Mike Smith on March 21. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/CAPTCHA_Survey http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0437.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0402.html As discussed at the March 18 teleconference, the target time frame to go live was over ten weeks ago. http://www.w3.org/2010/03/18-html-a11y-minutes.html#item02 Mike, what's up with this? Has it been decided to not hold a survey or postpone a survey or cancel a survey? Is this bug now considered superseded by the alt Change Proposals? Should I drop this item from this weekly report? 3. ESTABLISHING "A11yTF" KEYWORD CRITERIA: The Task Force still has not agreed on criteria for applying the "a11yTF" keyword to NEW bugs. I have previously recommended that we develop criteria, because on March 18, Mike Smith said 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. http://www.w3.org/2010/03/18-html-a11y-minutes.html#item02 Mike, what is the status with this? Has it been decided not to have the group document and to agree a set of criteria in advance of tagging bugs "a11yTF"? Should task force members use their own judgment and tag bugs "a11yTF" as they see fit? That would seem to be a simpler procedure. I had started a Wiki page to brainstorm ideas for criteria but maybe that is irrelevant now? 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 thirty two HTML Spec bugs awaiting task force decision. Ian Hickson is editor of that document. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#Bugs_Awaiting_A11yTF_Keyword_Decision At last week's teleconference it was decided that Bugs 9817, 9773, 9774, 9775 have the a11ytf keyword applied. Michael Cooper has done that. Thank you, Michael. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=9817 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=9773 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=9774 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=9775 We currently have five 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_Keyword_Decision The initial set of "A11y" bugs which were determined to have the "A11yTF" keyword applied to them in January 2010 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 2010 are at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/rejected 4.
