I thought the meeting was cancelled or postponed. Sorry I
missed it. Thanks for the notes Rich. I'll be on this week.

Here are the minutes from the August 3 Accessibility Subcommitee Meeting.
Note: I had sent out an agenda for this meeting and the OASIS mail
server problems we experienced caused the agenda to get dropped.
I
apologize if people were looking for an agenda to decide whether we were having
the meeting. That said, we did get a lot done. I want to thank Pete Brunet for
scribing the minutes below.

rs: minutes
update?
rs: no response - approved
rs: who has started their
sections?
all: no response
rs: sent out a template, modeled after
odf1.1
rs: how to handle alt text?
hiro: need html conversion as an
example - good example of export of ODF to another doc format - HTML has strict
acc guidelines
rs: very good idea
hiro: xforms section - better to have a
formulated conversion
rs: can't save ODF to XFORMS - would have to convert to
XHTML2 or XHTML plus XFORMS - best to convert HTML 4.2 (will loose some
things)
hiro: in sections 3 and 4 - about structure - we can centralize
structures in one section
rs: page breaks - move to structure
section
hiro: table structure - move to central place
hiro: every section
can refer to structure section
rs: drawing object is not structural
element
hiro: having trouble defining structure and MD in glossary
rs:
covered some of this in section 4, "Converting between ODF and other Document
Formats", was named "Special issues when converting between other formats and
ODF (both directions)"
hiro: need to define landmarks
hiro: Steve, any
issues related to MathML?
steve: needs research, Steve can tap Neil Soiffer
on W3C MathML group, also Robert Miner - both at Design Science (Steve's
company) - Steve needs well formulated questions to pass on to Neil or
Robert
pb: SMIL?
rs: Rich to research that and other sync'd media
hiro: Flash is not open format
steve: ask Dave Pawson for help with
sync'd media (using experience with DAISY)
steve: Assistive?
rs: use
Wikipdeia?
all: agree
rs: glossary - define sync'd media, DAISY
hiro:
should we talk about the accessibility software, e.g. what are roles and
states
rs: that's fine
hiro: will briefly introduce
rs:
relationships
hiro: agree, it's important
rs: abtract: This document is a
guide for Office Applications, that support version 1.1 of the OpenDocument
format, to promote and preserve accessible ODF documents. This guide is not a
comprehensive guide for content mapping to platform accessibility APIs.
hiro: office devs need minimum guidance for accessibility API
mappings
rs: this is a lot of work - too much for now
pb: maybe we could
do those full mappings as work done in subgroups over time
rs: yes - if group
agrees to pick up that work
rs: which section would this be in
steve:
section 2, ODF application accessibility
rs: example, how to map
accessibility info related to a PARAGRAPH
action item, Rich: Add
something for MathML and sync'd media for section 4
action item, Hiro: Add
glossary item for landmarks, TTS, screen magnifier
action item, all: Do we
want a minimal accessibility API mapping in the doc?
action item, all:
Discuss user agents handling of alt text, e.g. using a single space so AT
doesn't read decrorative text
action item, all: Hiro and Chieko need
un-copyrighted but meaninful charts to use as examples
