Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Text and Wording Meeting Minutes Jan 14, Week 3

Hey Kevin,

Re: IRC cheat sheet - thank you. I linked to it from our subgroup doc so that we can find it faster.

Re: WCAG visit analytics
This came up as we talked about definitions. We were wondering if there was any way to learn more about our users and if that information would help us craft definitions and requirements to better meet their needs.

For example, would content writers or designers understand some of the definitions as written? Would they know that they build on top of HTML or CSS definitions contained in another document? Are we being so anchored in 2.x that we aren’t able to think of definitions that help everyone?

Personally, I have been in meetings where someone will say ‘our readers are developers, not designers.’ As a designer I disagree very strongly and am struck by the bias revealed by the comment.

We’re curious about what we know about our users, and it could help us.

Thank you for your reply to our minutes email.

     *   Question: Is there an IRC cheat sheet for scribing? (Yes, we just need to find it.)

You can find lots of information in the links under the Zakim commands<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WkYBc_9PowZRcxp1ld13jkA2pHd-vvmeBf9sZzUDjJQ/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3rdcrjn> heading in the Subgroup handbook.

If you have any questions, please do just ping me.


     *   Question: Are there any stats we're able to view? page views, search terms etc. to help our understanding who's currently consuming? (We’ll have to ask our chairs or W3C staff contacts about this.)

Possibly. It depends on what content you are considering.

Thanks

Kevin
