MINUTES
I. Introductions
II. Discussion of group makeup
This being the first meeting of the subcommittee, we discussed who we
should seek to add to the group in order to make it succeed. In
particular, we identified that we need someone (perhaps David Clark) to
represent the interests of the voice recognition user community, and that
we need some developers of assistive technology.
We agreed that each of us would contact those people we think should be
involved, and try to help them to join. In particular, such people should
also be put in touch with Scott and Mary from OASIS:
Mary McRae <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>
Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>
II. Goals and Timelines
We discussed the possible goals and timelines for this group. There was
general agreement that the first thing we need is a gap analysis of
accessibility in ODF; Rich and Chieko have already started putting one
together, and will lead a discussion at our next meeting.
We agreed that a detailed timeline will not be possible in the absence of
such an analysis. We set a goal of completing the gap analysis and a
timeline for the rest of our work by the end of March.
It was noted that for our work to result in a new approved draft of the
official ODF spec, it will require a 60 day OASIS review period; followup
revision iterations will require 15 days each. Thus if we want to finish
the process by the end of 2006, we will need to have submitted a solid
proposal by late October at the latest. This only addresses the revisions
to the spec; having implementations ready by 1/1/07 is a different and
probably more ambitious goal, but is beyond the scope of this committee.
III. Plans for next meeting(s)
The next meeting will be February 2. Rich and Chieko will lead a
discussion on the gap analysis.
We also noted that we come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and have
different holes in our expertise. In near future meetings, therefore, we
will schedule three "introductory" presentations to bring us all up to the
starting line in whichever areas we're unfamiliar with:
-- Introduction to ODF
-- Introduction to Accessibility Issues
-- Introduction to the OASIS process
IV. Action Items
-- Rich and Chieko to prepare for gap analysis at 2/2 meeting.
-- Nathaniel to send out minutes include email addresses for Scott & Mary.
V. Future topics
-- Volunteers to present each of the 3 introductions
-- Scope document for our web site
-- Volunteer(s) to edit documents
-- Use cases, especially for presentations
-- Xforms issues
VI. Next meeting: February 2, 2006, 11 AM US EST.
