Re: Please review: proposed agenda for ER/AU f2f

Hello,

it would seem to make more sense to do the brainstorming on ERT in
conjunction with the AU group. I am not sure how many AU people are coming
for one day and how many for both days.

cheers

Charles

  Hello,
  
  Based on last week's ER WG discussion the rough agenda is:
  Thursday: work through open issues with ERT (brainstorm), set goals, create 
  plan.
  Friday: joint meeting with AU WG. Strategize, demonstrate tools, plan.
  
  I've tried to fill in more detail.  Please comment.
  
  Thursday
  9-9:15 intro's

  headings, paragraphs, lists, etc
  -Checkpoint 14.1 - Use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for a 
  site's content

  1:00-2:30 ERT
  -Checkpoint 14.2 - Supplement text with graphic or auditory presentations

  -General scripting discussion: when is it used? when can you replace 
  scripts with  HTML on the page itself?  when is it possible to push the 
  functionality it to the server?

  documents relate to each other?

  and the ERT Techniques:  http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/

  We've both been realizing overlap in goals and resources. How should we 
  handle this?
  
  (proposed draft) ER WG
  http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/erwg-charter.html
  The mission of the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ER WG) is:
  to document techniques for creating Evaluation and Repair Tools;
  to find tools that implement the techniques and where there are none, 
  prototype or participate in the development of an implementation;
  to assess the implementation of these techniques in evaluation and repair 
  tools;
  to provide a discussion forum to review and collaborate on tool development.
  
  AU WG
  http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/charter3
  To complete the development of accessibility guidelines for authoring 
  tools, and to perform initial assessment of implementation of these 
  guidelines by authoring tool manufacturers. These guidelines should address 
  how authoring tools can:
  provide author support for creating accessible Web documents;
  ensure an accessible user interface for authors with disabilities.
  Assessment of implementation is expected to allow improvement to the 
  supporting documents produced by the group, and if necessary to begin 
  revision of the guidelines themselves.
  
  3:45 -4:00 break

  What needs to be done? Assign action items.  Resolve outstanding 
  coordination issues.

  5.1.1) then create a linear version of the table by: [@@insert heuristics
