Hello, I did some research in preparation for discussion at the face to face about the illustrating text checkpoint. In previous drafts it was checkpoint 3.4 "Supplement text with non-text content." In Gregg's latest proposal it is checkpoint 4.1. I prepared 2 sets of notes and referred to a 3rd set written in May 2001. These need more work but were used as part of Sunday afternoon's discussion at the F2F. [Minutes of this discussion are at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2002/03/24-f2f-minutes.html#illustrations] We had good discussion at the F2F and I need to incorporate that feedback into my notes. However, I published the minutes from the F2F today and I would like to publish the notes for those who were not able to attend. I will continue to work on my notes and I welcome any feedback. 1. Symbolic Languages instead of text-based language quick summary: what are the issues and how can we use technology to solve them? Many of these ideas look to the future. Still unanswered is what to do today. Gregg took an action at the F2F to draft a new checkpoint to address the issues brought up in the discussion. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2002/03/symbolic-lang.html 2. Illustrating text quick summary: what are common uses of illustrations already in use on the web, what are some possible technological solutions, and what needs to be considered when creating illustrations? This is more of an outline of the things to consider than of solutions. It feels like a techniques document rather than success criteria for a checkpoint, but they are issues I thought would help us design success criteria. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2002/03/illustrating-text.html 3. Wendy's unillustrated notes, thoughts, and questions about the recent WCAG WG "Illustrating Guidelines" thread quick summary: In May 2001 I was trying to summarize an ongoing thread called "Illustrating Guidelines." In it I try to get my head around the issues by summarizing the axes of discussion and the main points of discussion. The axes of discussion are still relevant today. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2001/05/cog-notes.html --wendy -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative seattle, wa usa /--
