Re: Next PubSC call, EPBUBCheck dev status

George-

Thanks for this. It looks great. Is this something more of us can participate in?

Some background from my discussions with them—they are not yet at a point where they distribute the same format to the entire device lineup. It seems that accessibility is only applied to the enhanced typesetting format (so reflow) and it is done at ingestion. It is still limited, there are features (like tables) that it does not yet support.

They told me that there are “strings that get matched” on ingestion. I’ve been trying to get them to be more open about what those strings are, and hopefully, that they are actually EPUB accessibility features that we might help them understand better.

I would maybe add to your agenda:

  *   How is the kindle ingestion process applying accessibility features?

Perhaps that might draw out the discussion of matched strings somehow.

Hi,

Joanna Hunt from Kindle said she would join our next Reading System testing call, which is this Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. I am still working on the agenda, but below is what I have so far. I will also be sending the agenda and invitation to the EPUB 3 CG list.

3.            Focus on Kindle  -- assuming Joanna will join us
a.            Status on ingestion of four fundamental titles
b.            Discussion of Kindle ingestion process, e.g. is the distributed file the same for all platforms?
c.             Are there elements in our fundamental test  books that are removed on ingestion, e.g. SVG tests?
d.            What Kindle platforms should we focus our testing on?
e.            Can we expect EPUB 3 CG participation?
f.             How can we identify best practices for various content types, e.g. tables, image types and resolution?
g.            How can we most effectively work together?

Best
George

Also for the agenda for today, I think we should discuss:


  *   Next steps on the strategy discussion
  *   Status of the strategy doc
  *   Messaging re: Amazon and accessibility
  *   Discussion re: implementation challenges for accessibility

About this EPUBCheck point, allow me to forward you a document I asked to Romain about final EPUBCheck development phases to help us relaunch communication on fundraising in September.

Best,
Luc
