Dear Rich, colleagues,
I may be late to the meeting; there are some issues I need to attend to
early tomorrow morning.

Dear colleagues,
This is the agenda for the OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee
meeting: Monday August 18, at 7am PT / 9am CT / 10am ET / 4pm CET /
11pm Japan time. Please use our usual (and unpublished) dial-in, and
our usual IRC channel: &office-accessibility at irc.oasis-open.org
Based on the last discussion with the ODF TC we need to be looking to
get things wrapped in September regarding requirements. We do face some
hurdles as we don't feel the ODF 1.2 spec. is really ready for review.
So, we are still focusing on ODF Accessibility Guidelines.

Suggested agenda:
1. Identify Scribe
2. Approval of Minutes July 28 Meeting? http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200807/msg00062.html
3. Charts being backed by tables.
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/email/archives/200808/msg00068.html
4. Radio Grouping Disposition:
Rich Comment: Seems like there is available with
Form:Frame. Unlike (X)HTML, ODF supports XForms and there should be no
limitation on the number of forms you can have and consequently there
should be no limitations on Form:Frame usage. It looks like we can have
form.frame and use the labeling capabilities form:for associate the
label text with the frame making this a BPG discussion.
From Michael Brauer: the label would be a
<form:fixed-text> element. It has an (optional) attribute
"form:for" which contains the ID of a control for which the text is a
label. The same attribute is actually existing for the
<form:frame> element which defines a group box. Her, it can be
used to specify that the group box is the label for a set of radio
buttons.
3. Action items needing attention
- Janina to modify accessibility guidelines
to state how common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.)
should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would indicate
whether something were a Boolean, Gregorian date, etc.
- Janina to clarify text in section 3.4
- Peter to add a new section with guidelines
as to how to provide tracking information to ATs.
- Peter to modify guidelines to ensure
applications respond to system font and color settings.
- Peter will add explanation that this ODF
1.1 OLE embedding for presentation tables is no longer supported and
that native ODF tables are used in 1.2
- Pete to investigate if there are any new
charts not backed by tables (see above discussion)
- Pete to document how to navigate to those
tables in OpenOffice and Symphony. (see above discussion)
- Steve Noble to look at formulas
specification identify data that would update frequently, such as
volatile formula information that would require the Office application
to inform the AT of updates sections. Will complete by next meeting.
- Rich to provide base document for ODF 1.2
change specification (starting with caption-id reference) to Mike
Paciello. Mike is to own the requirements document for ODF 1.2 which
will be submitted to the ODF TC. Rich is waiting on a decision as to
where the ODF schema is to reside (separate or within the base
document).
Are there others I have failed to capture (beyond
anything new for ODF v1.2)?
4. Discussion of Pete's Chart Accessibility Analysis: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200806/msg00032.html
Did Michael Brauer address your question regarding ill-defined chart
information? Is someone working on it in the TC?
