Hi Mike, Janina, and everyone, Thank you for going over the bug report in last week's teleconference. I appreciate the discussion on establishing bug criteria for "a11yTF" keyword application. The relevant part of the minutes [1] and some comments from me for consideration. > MS: There is a non trivial cost to taking up these issues with the TF. > ... We need to agree criteria for our decisions to take on issues. > > Is that not just based on importance? > > MS: Could you take that to the list, that would be great? > > I get ya > > JS: Yes, it takes time > > MS: At one extreme we just take them all on. > ... But we should decide where and how to draw the line. This is a good idea, Mike. > JS: Michael did try to group them to make it easier. Yes the topic groupings are useful. Thank you Michael. But we have had a11y bugs submitted since Michael made his cut that are instrumental to the current HTMLWG tracker alt issue 31 [1] [2]. Plus there are a couple of bugs that are instrumental to Issue 31 that were missed in the initial a11ytf keyword tagging. > MS: It is a matter of cycles This is true. Some suggested criteria: For a bug to have the a11ytf keyword applied, it: * must be a bug that at least one task force member has volunteered and agreed to actively work on and see through to closure. (This may mean drafting, filing, commenting, escalating, writing surveys, writing change proposals, etc) AND * could be a bug whose purpose is to expedite an existing tracker issue, OR * could be a bug that has dependency relationship with an existing bug that the task force has already accepted, OR * could be a bug that has a blocker relationship with an existing bug that the task force has already accepted, OR * could be a new bug that reports a problem where HTML 5 provides guidance that conflicts with WCAG, UAAG, or ATAG, OR * ? Thanks for your consideration.
