Minutes from UAWG telecon, 6 Feb 2003 Attendance jg Jon Gunderson mm Matt May cl Cathy Laws dp David Poehlman hb Harvey Bingham ja Jim Allan tl Tim Lacy Minutes Tech Plenary jg: Telephone participation at tech plenary. Good idea? ja: More input is always good tl: Can't make it. dp: Usually, it's much better to be there in person. Telecons add an extra level of complication. But if I had the choice, I'd rather participate by phone than not at all. jg: Should telecon participants register? mm: I think it's okay just to notify us, rather than registering. W3C uses reg info to plan resources. TP face-to-face meetings jg: Still don't have good implementation of longdesc, title across browsers; good to ask HTML WG what are the expectations. mm: I'd like to talk about XHTML 2. It'd be good to see what's in there. dp: Other uses for alt attribute, or other conditional content... jg: OBJECT is staying in XHTML 2. dp: IMG? mm: IMG is out of the current spec. OBJECT for showing images. dp: Is there an alt attribute? mm: OBJECT allows nesting of text or other content inside as conditional content. jg: We should look at the current draft and come up with issues prior to the meeting. jg: Is PF working on XHTML 2? mm: Coming soon. We may be able to coordinate. cl: Rich Schwerdtfeger is looking at XHTML 2, and is also on PF. jg: It'd be good to have concrete proposals on the table. jg: We want to make sure that if they're referencing behavior, they should refer to our document. jg: Thurs. AM we'll be meeting with QAWG. I have students working on test suites, and Jim Allan and Colin Koteles have expressed interest. Also have Sun Beijing. jg: We'd like to work with the Beijing team. jg: It'd be a good time to contact them about test suites, etc. ACTION mm: Figure out whether we can get Sun Beijing to join a part of the meeting via phone jg: Gottfried Zimmermann may come to discuss V2. Any synergies with UA? mm: I could ask around. dp: Demos? jg: Haven't had anyone offer to show a demo. dp: Does the voice browser group have anything we can look at? I know there are some telephone-based items, but didn't know if there was anything for computers. jg: PF has been dealing with that. We haven't worked much with the VB group. dp: I would imagine voice browsing is going to enter into future UA work. jg: I hear they're deprecating the use of style on voice. The characteristics would be embedded. mm: VBWG has a document on accessibility requirements for VoiceXML V3, which reads a lot like UAAG. Should be looking at it. jg: Any companies who can join us? dp: SpeechWorks is one I know of. jg: Is this document published yet? mm: I don't think so, but I think they're planning to publish it before the TP. jg: Is this primarily for phone use? dp: Not exclusively. dp: Dave Pawson is working on VoiceXML. cl: There's some stuff at IBM on this that we'll be demoing at CSUN. cl: We'll be demoing something like 16 technologies at CSUN. ACTION cl: Check on possibility of IBM demo jg: eBook readers? hb: I haven't seen this generation of equipment. dp: Janina Sajka is going to be at the TP. She might help. Test suites jg: My students have been doing evaluations. Are there others interested in working on test suites? cl: Our groups have been evaluating them. I think we'd be interested. jg: We're working on completing the test suites on, for example, IE 6, Opera 7, Mozilla 1.2. jg: Matt, some of the tests report error messages on input controls. Does the W3C have restrictions on PUT commands? mm: Probably. jg: May need to point elsewhere. mm: We could probably get a PUT receptacle on cgi.w3.org. I'll ask systems team ACTION mm: Ask systeam about hosting a CGI that handles PUT jg: Anyone using EARL out there? mm: Many of the ER tool vendors are already or will soon output EARL. jg: Seems we should have automated output of EARL. mm: I've talked with Wendy about using this as a test harness with EARL hooks. jg: What do we get out of EARL? Not sure. jg: Ask Wendy if she can come to talk about EARL? ACTION mm: Ask Wendy to join us on Thurs. AM to talk about EARL jg: Next meeting 20 Feb
