Re: agenda, 5 November 2015 SVG WG telcon -- note your local time!

Hello all,

The SVG Accessibility Task Force is hoping to publish new drafts of two
specs in the coming weeks:

   - The SVG Accessibility API Mapping specification,
   https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/svg-aam/svg-aam.html.
   This would define how user agents should interpret SVG content when
   creating an accessible representation of a document.  It includes, for
   example, the default ARIA roles for different elements.

   - The ARIA Graphics Module,
   http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/graphics.html.
   This defines new ARIA roles that would form the foundation of a
   description of structured graphics, such as diagrams.  The img role from
   ARIA 1 is not sufficient for complex SVG, because it assumes that an image
   has a single text description, and no meaningful child content.  The new
   roles would allow graphical objects to contain other objects with their own
   descriptions, and possibly with interactive components.


I was hoping to have drafts ready for discussion at this week's meeting,
but there are still a few details we're tidying up in Task Force
discussions.

Would it be possible to upgrade next week's spec editing session to a
proper telcon with this on the agenda?  Or the week after if that works
better for everyone's schedules, but I would prefer not to wait another
month.

If there is time this week, I would be happy to give an overview of the
specs, and outline the main issues which working group members may want to
weigh in on.  But I would also like to give you all some time to actually
review the issues and notes.

Best,
Amelia

P.S. Thanks for adding my viewTarget issue to the agenda, Cam.  I had just
been about to update the wiki with an agenda request, I promise...
