To all UAAG participants and list lurkers, Yesterday at the WAI Coordination Group meeting, the Protocols and Formats Working Group asked for help in reviewing the HTML5 specification. It is a very large spec, and the people who have been working on it for a long time are already busy with existing issues and don't have the bandwidth to add a new complete review. PFWG has divided the spec into 35 sections and have asked for volunteers to review a section and write their comments into the wiki page linked in the first column. PF's priorities are to find reviewers for the sections: Globals, Block, Inline, Obsolete features,Tables http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Spec_Review I agreed to pass the request on to the UAWG, but did ask that all bugs be managed by PF. We may be asked to write future change proposals and respond to requests for more information, but the direct interaction with HTML5 (bug filing and tracking) will be managed by PF. PF has linked to our HTML5 notes page, and I have added a link to their page from our wiki: http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/HTML5_review_by_UAWG_notes Kudos to Mark for quickly identifying a new area of concern (@pattern) that clearly shows that a close inspection of HTML5 is required. [I want to create a t-shirt with "Got checkedness?"] The HTML5 WG rejects comments that do not meet their particular requirements, so please coordinate your comments with UAAG or PF so that an effective bug can be filed. Because of the complexity of filing a HTML5 bug, PF requests that all review of HTML5 be completed *** before 15 July *** to allow time to research and write the bugs before the HTML5 deadline of 3 August. HTML5 will not discuss any bugs filed after the 3 August deadline. Thank you all for your continued dedication to improving accessibility on the web. The Last Call review is an important step that we cannot let pass or leave for someone else to do for us. Regards, jeanne
