<pimpbot> Title: html: Summary (at dvcs.w3.org)

A11Y task force report

<MikeSmith> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/16-html-a11y-minutes.html


<pimpbot> Title: HTML Accessibility Task Force Teleconference -- 16 Jun 2011 (at www.w3.org)

TF spent most of their time on figcaption being allowed in the spec as an alternative to an alt attribute on an image

Discussion touched on that figcaptions are often longer than alt values and this might cause screen readers to read out a lot more text than usual

Discussion went in the direction of checking the length of the figcaption text causing a possible warning.

<MikeSmith> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/23-html-a11y-minutes.html


<pimpbot> Title: HTML Accessibility Task Force Teleconference -- 23 Jun 2011 (at www.w3.org)

TF members are reviewing specific parts of the HTML5 spec.

Today on the call (see minutes) the TF discussed some candidate LC comments.

Also there are several subteams ie media, text alternatives and the TF discussed reports from these sub-teams.

the TF continues to work on canvas issues especially around hit testing.

Looking for implementor feedback but so far not enough data.

end of report
New editorial assistants

Chairs posted a request for volunteers for editorial assistants largely for the main HTML5 spec.

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0218.html


<pimpbot> Title: Editorial Assistants from Maciej Stachowiak on 2011-06-16 (public-html@w3.org from June 2011) (at lists.w3.org)

We have four volunteers and the Chairs are hoping that this will help process LC comments and to set priority on bugs.
Revised Last Call schedule

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0315.html


<pimpbot> Title: Revised Timeline and New Bug Priority Policy from Maciej Stachowiak on 2011-06-23 (public-html@w3.org from June 2011) (at lists.w3.org)

This email changes the schedule dates and new bug priority bugs.

P1 bugs will imply 30 day turnaround.

You can request a priority of P1 by adding the new PriorityRequest keyword to a bug.
Decision Policy update

The Chairs have been resolving DP bugs and the Chairs expect to post a revised DP for the WG review on Jun 27.

<mjs> http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html


<pimpbot> Title: HTML Working Group Decision Policy (at dev.w3.org)

<pimpbot> Title: Bugzilla Keyword Descriptions (at www.w3.org)

The Decison Policy V2 document is available today and reflects many bug fixes to the DP.

Questions?

None

Any other business?

Julian: what is the status of the 2 outstanding revert requests which were mentioned last week?

The revert requestions are in Bugzilla.

mjs: A WG member should post the revert request to the public-html@w3.org email list.

Julian: I believe I asked for the cross-origin change to be reverted on the mailing list in late May.

<mjs> http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html#enhanced-cc


<pimpbot> Title: HTML Working Group Decision Policy (at dev.w3.org)

<pimpbot> changes: sam: Record change proposal for issue 153 <11http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-diffs/2011Jun/0126.html>

<pimpbot> bugmail: [Bug 12390] A sandboxed MIME type attribute would be better than a fully qualified MIME type <11http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-bugzilla/2011Jun/1007.html>

Julian: The W3C process says you cannot add new features.

mjs: That is not true. Substantive changes must be documented and the Chairs have asked for prior notice of such changes.

Julian: Are we clear that if we add new features that there will be another LC

<rubys> I don't see cross-origin (or even "origin") in last week's minutes: http://www.w3.org/2011/06/16-html-wg-minutes.html

<pimpbot> Title: HTML Weekly Teleconference -- 16 Jun 2011 (at www.w3.org)

mjs: Suggest WG members read the Process Document definition of "substantive changes".

<MikeSmith> the W3C Process document does *not* prohibit substantive changes being made during LC

Julian: IETF members are having trouble understanding the meaning of Last Call for the HTML5 specification. What document should I review?

mjs: Reviewing either the Editors draft or the static LC document are both fine.
... We also have the complication of changes being made without there being an associated W3C bug and the Chairs are working on this problem.

<MikeSmith> the LCWD is a stable, unchanging document, and the IETF reviewers and anybody else is welcome to use that as the basis for their review -- we have not made any changes do that draft and will not

<MikeSmith> I don't see this as being confusing at all
