Re: Minutes from 16 November

Hi all

As an early action from the 16 November meeting, I started a wiki page to collect details of researchers and research relating to the TF’s first question, on authentication and security.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Relevant_Researchers

I’d originally set out to list names of people working in this field, but it soon became apparent to me that it was easier to list some key publications and, by extension, the authors of that work.

So the page has become more of a list of selected publications and names of people who we might want to approach about providing or point us to more specific information.

Note that this came from a search of the ACM Digital Library, and is biased towards research exploring accessibility issues with authentication and security.

I hope it’s a useful start; but appreciate that it is no substitute for a more rigorous literature review of the topic. 

If this is considered useful, I can do something similar for our other questions.

Dave
