[POSTPONED] Re: IndieUI Teleconference Agenda; 12 November at 22:00Z for 60 minutes

2014-11-12 Thread Michael Cooper
After discussion with Janina, we've had enough regrets on and off list 
that it seems we won't have quorum for today's IndieUI call. Therefore, 
we will postpone the call to next week. The next IndieUI call will be:


Wednesday, 19 November

at the usual time.

Only Takeshi and I joined the call, with Jason for a brief hi. This is 
not enough quorum to discuss anything meaningful so we ended the call 
after 15 minutes.

PFWG request for abstract and introductions

2014-06-20 Thread Michael Cooper
The WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group has looked at a number of 
specifications published by the Web Applications Working Group recently. 
Our process is to note the publication of documents and take a quick 
look to determine if they need a closer review. However, many of the 
documents we have looked at recently have extremely brief abstracts, and 
no introductions. This makes it very difficult for us to figure out the 
nature of the specification, and in turn to determine what our interest 
in it might be.


We request that you add more complete abstracts to the specifications, 
to provide a high-level but more complete idea of what the specification 
does. We also request that you add introduction sections to the 
specifications, to explain what problem the technology solves and how 
(in general terms) it addresses that. We think this will aid our own 
review and will also greatly help other reviewers to make useful comments.

PFWG comments on View Mode Media Feature

2010-05-19 Thread Michael Cooper
This is a review of the Last Call draft of the View Mode Media Feature
located at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-view-mode-20100420/

This is a formal response form the Protocols and Formats Working Group.
Approval to send this response is archived at
http://www.w3.org/2010/05/19-pf-minutes.html#item06. Our thanks to
Gregory Rosmaita and Gottfried Zimmerman for preparing this comment.

The Last Call draft of the View Mode Media Feature states that it
Applies to: visual and tactile media types
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-view-mode-20100420/#the--view-mode--media-feature


While these view modes make sense for visual media types, they don't
seem appropriate for the two tactile media types braille and
embossed, as defined in Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1
(CSS 2.1) Specification. in Section 7.3 Recognized media types
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types

Please consider the following:

1. A user using a screen reader with a braille display. Should the user
agent switch to the CSS rules defined for media type braille?   This
would be odd and unexpected behavior, since the primary interaction mode
is visual. (Note: There are windows on a screen that the screen reader
reads out and feeds the braille display).

2. In a pure tactile interaction environment which is not mediated through
a visual screen, does the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointers)
interaction model make sense at all?  It could make sense in a 2D tactile
pin matrix environment where raised dots are used to present letters
(braille) and graphical strokes, and these dots can be used for
interaction with the user.  But it does not make sense for the current
media type braille (which is meant to be a continuous stream of
characters), and not for embossed (which is meant to be a static
printout in braille).

3. 2D tactile interaction environments are not yet common.  Should there
be an additional tactile media type for 2D tactile interaction (such as
pinmatrix or 2dtactile)? In research or for early adopters, is there
already a commonly accepted interaction vocabulary for 2D tactile displays
(such as the WIMP for visual displays)?  Or does the Web Applications WG
propose to go with the WIMP model for simple transfer between the visual
and the tactile representation?

In light of these points of ambiguity, Unless the Web Applications WG can
define what the view modes -- windowed, floating, fullscreen,
maximized and minimized -- mean for the media types braille and
embossed, the PFWG advises that it would be better NOT to apply
'view-mode' to tactile media types at the current time.

The PFWG welcomes the opportunity to discuss these issues with the Web
Applications WG to ascertain what the view modes defined in the View Mode
Media Feature means for the media types braille and embossed and
would like to work in concert with the Web Apps WG and the CSS WG to
refine and define what these concepts mean for the braille and
embossed media types.

Re: PFWG comments on Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration Last Call (late, very late)

2009-10-07 Thread Michael Cooper
 cases
 are still limited IMO.

   
 It need not be a requirement that the catalog list all files, only ones that
 need special information attached. Conformance checkers should check that
 the MIME type of every file can be determined reliably, either via the
 sniffing mechanisms already defined or via an entry in the catalog file.
 

 This would certainly be good. But outdated CC's, or differences
 between CC's and UAs, might cause problems: cc says can' detect type
 X, UA happily sniffs type X. However, it is certainly worthwhile
 considering the low hanging fruit (e.g., just checking file
 extensions, and magic numbers).

   
 There may well be other types of special information that the catalog might
 support, once introduced. So the benefits of providing this probably extend
 beyond improved MIME type detection.
 

 I'm sure there would be, but I can't think of any off the top of my
 head. However, for this reason, it might be worth while looking at
 systems that are already doing this (e.g., limitations/uses of appache
 .htaccess files). Can you think of other systems/uses?

   
Understood and accepted with the explanations above. We didn't have
specific additional uses for a catalog in mind when suggesting it, but
generally observe the usefulness of them. We may be able to help come up
with uses in a brainstorming session.

Since a few of the responses include a suggestion to brainstorm
together, perhaps there would be an opportunity to do so at the upcoming
TPAC meeting? If you're too busy to do this in the near future I'm sure
it can wait. PFWG is interested in engaging with you on this technology,
as we see it being important down the road.
