PRESENT David MacDonald Ben Caldwell Michael Cooper Chris Ridpath Tom Croucher Wendy Chisholm David Donovan DISCUSSION We discussed Gateway techniques, beginning with text equivalents. There are currently three types of text equivalents that come from HTML practice. We weren't sure if that generalizes and observed that the techniques still need to be made less HTML-specific. Active involvement of technology experts is desirable; SVG in particular came up but also CSS and SMIL. We transitioned to link text because of its inclusion in the text equivalents section and discussed ongoing user agent issues in particular with use of the title attribute. Link text relative to the targeted page and its title element also came up as an issue to consider in the techniques. At the W3C Technical Plenary in Cannes, France, the Techniques group will meet on 4 and 5 March. That will be an ideal forum to coordinate with other technology experts, and we need to have some internal drafts of Gateway and HTML techniques ready for review. It would also be ideal to coordinate with the Euroaccessibility work that overlaps ours. We will try to put these plans in action. QA Process was a brief topic and mainly showed that separate activities from Chris Ridpath and Jenae Andershonis are quite related and should be coordinated.
