Group: need to archive some of the editors; okay to drop Cynthia? yes Alt Edits Review (if possible, try to say your name when speaking, since i'm still learning voices) JS: discussion on Aug 1st: conclusion was yes, useful to id class of object, such as "logo" <MarkS> [13]https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23207 -> filed by janina [13] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23207 propose to include a number of these like, pie chart, bar graph, etc <MarkS> [14]https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22854 -> david macdonald [14] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22854 MS: foound related bug by Dave McDonald mark as duplicate Mark will add additional classes of images JS: perhaps show a few design patterns for how you add the classes JF: might be in WCAG techniques <SteveF> [15]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-conte nt-0.html#graphical-representations:-charts,-diagrams,-graphs,- maps,-illustrations [15] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#graphical-representations:-charts group: keep these parallel, there's a task force that is responsible for WCAG techniques for HTML 5 oh, sorry JF SF: problem with active images, 'logo' might cause folks to think this is a link to a logo ... the alt-text for active images is the link text which needs to be a brief description of the target group: logo: links to homepage? but then print icon: prints page? JS: okay to ask techniques taskforce to take this up group: yes, useful MarkS: can take this up as an action item <MarkS> ACTION: MarkS to follow up with WCAG on providing feedback on ALT advise document, specifically on the use of class/category info on images, especially when contained within hyperlinks. [recorded in [16]http://www.w3.org/2013/09/12-html-a11y-minutes.html#action0 1] <trackbot> Created ACTION-194 - Follow up with wcag on providing feedback on alt advise document, specifically on the use of class/category info on images, especially when contained within hyperlinks. [on Mark Sadecki - due 2013-09-19]. Longdesc Testing Update [17]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Aug/0062 .html [17] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Aug/0062.html 2 items on the agenda today - 60 day last call closes on Monday - time for comments nearly passed 1) testing for CR exit <MarkS> [18]http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Longdesc-tests -> longdesc test results wiki [18] http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Longdesc-tests <MarkS> [19]https://github.com/chaals/longdesc-tests -> longdesc tests on github [19] https://github.com/chaals/longdesc-tests JS: clean up needed, can probably do in next couple weeks, not days Longdesc LC Comments: Process and Responses 2) need to provide a formal response to these, after establishing concensus on our response there are five such comments <MarkS> [20]https://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/44061/WD-htm l-longdesc-20130716/ -> longdesc comment tracker [20] https://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/44061/WD-html-longdesc-20130716/ send candidate resolutions to the list to see if there are any objections JS: seeking to be exhaustive and thorough documenting both concensus and minor opinions <MarkS> CN(via email): I propose to make no substantive changes in response to the comments, but in response to the comments from James Craig I will propose to add a statement to the effect that authors should not use longdesc as an excuse for not achieving better accessibility with techniques like the use of accessible SVG, or MathML instead of pictures of mathematical expressions - in such cases longdesc should be considered a fallback for old technology. JB: is it acceptable to use a description instead of mathML for a single bit of math? jf: strong reservations on saying that long desc is inappropriate ... concerned how we convey this. for example, saying use SVG can be a problem, since support is poor ... should avoid negative comments ST: often we use longdesc to include MathML jf: this could be an attempt at weakening longdesc, but the word 'inappropriate' is subjective JB: helpful to focus on alternate response & wording JS: better to talk about what we encourage and recognize that there are many ways to achieve appropriate markup ... spec is not the place for author guidance on choosing what to do ... positive not negative, support many ways/options, point to other W3C guidance jf: can live with that, believe it belongs in WCAG techniques document CS: what about a see also link to other options, instead of making a judgement JB: perhaps handle in techniques layers, but have to get the timing to work better JS: Is there an appropriate use of longdesc instead of mathML or instead of SVG? two considerations: developer learning curve & user learning curve (download mathplayer, etc) the tutorial folks have raised this question and need an answer jf: educational folks were concerned because Google Chrome was supposed to supply native support, but it was dropped <JF> ACTION: JF to contact edu folks re: MathML support and failure status in 2 weeks [recorded in [21]http://www.w3.org/2013/09/12-html-a11y-minutes.html#action0 2] <trackbot> Created ACTION-195 - Contact edu folks re: mathml support and failure status in 2 weeks [on John Foliot - due 2013-09-19]. JS: proposed response to very specific requirements for longdesc implementations: allow developers to be creative because there is room for improvements Summary of Action Items [NEW] ACTION: JF to contact edu folks re: MathML support and failure status in 2 weeks [recorded in [22]http://www.w3.org/2013/09/12-html-a11y-minutes.html#action0 2] [NEW] ACTION: MarkS to follow up with WCAG on providing feedback on ALT advise document, specifically on the use of class/category info on images, especially when contained within hyperlinks.
