WebEx switch over.

   JS: I just came back from vacation and had several messages
   about WebEx.
   ... I'm still trying to figure out what it is.
   ... Has anyone used it yet?

   RS: Yes.

   JS: Is it easy?

   RS: It was good for me, but other people had some issues.

   JS: I propose we switch to WebEx for the next meeting. I'll try
   to learn enough to run it by then.

   JD: Janina sent an email to the list indicating we'd switch to
   it for PF.

   RS: I have an invitation for ARIA.

   JS: I got one for AAPI from Michael.
   ... I can send out the particulars.
   ... Any objections?

   BG: No.
   ... I use WebEx alot for work actually.

   JS: I'll make sure I know enough to run it next week and send
   out the appropriate information.

ACTION-1279 (Joseph) Talk to mobile manufacturers about including
their APIs.

   <clown> action-1279?

     [18] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1279

   JS: This is my taking to Yura from Mozilla about Android
   accessibility APIs.

   JS: I asked him if there was any formal documentation.

   <clown>

     [20]
https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/accessible/jsat/AccessFu.jsm#L575-L616

   JS: He said, "not yet" and pointed me to some code. (See two
   links above.)
   ... I've not yet had a chance to look at it, but that is, as I
   understand it, the beginnings of the mappings they are working
   on.
   ... I reviewed all the emails in the discussion.

   <clown>
   [21]https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/WebAccessibilityAPI

     [21] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/WebAccessibilityAPI

   JS: Alex is working on a web-based accessibility API. (See the
   URL above.)
   ... It looks like IA2 but for JavaScript.

   CS: It sounds like we should invite him to discuss WAPA and
   events and the other things we're working on.
   ... WebApps is where script-based accessibility is going to be
   worked on.
   ... Will Alex be able to get to TPAC?

   RS: I'm not sure. We can ask.

   JS: Dominic I think has been discussing this with Alex.

   CS: We need to invite everyone to join us in working with us.

   JD: How do I get invited?

   CS: Join WebApps

   RS: We have ARIA 1.1, but we need to be able to do
   customizations.
   ... We need to get to device independence. So we need an API
   that supports that and also facilitates automated UI testing.
   ... Common infrastructure as much as possible under the covers.
   ... We need to work together to make that happen if we can get
   everyone to play together.

   CS: We can join whatever organization is working on the API
   that Alex is doing.

   RS: Isn't that Mozilla?

   CS: Have you talked to anyone at Apple about this?

   RS: Not yet.
   ... We need to establish a common API that shows up in the
   browser, that is mirrored to at this some extent across the
   platforms.
   ... The only way we're going to accomplish this is to have all
   the stakeholders together, ideally face-to-face.
   ... I think we can do this effort in parallel with ARIA 1.1.
   ... I'll send a note out to the list.

   JS: I'd suggest you cross-post to public-pfwg and wai-xtech.
