[phrase from nonterminal down]. 13:34:55 -Alan 13:35:42 Group: Many group members find it jagged, disruptive... 13:35:46 fyi: bolding "Studies of Microsoft's ClearType technology show that it increases reading speeds from screens by 5%." - http://www.useit.com/alertbox/whyscanning.html 13:37:28 me/ zakim, unmute Helle_Bjarno 13:37:40 zakim, unmute helle 13:37:40 Helle was not muted, shawn 13:38:29 Shawn: I would like editors discretion on this issue. 13:39:14 William: Please try: What would a "bold document extraction" look like. 13:40:54 Shawn: more formatting: Introduction/ Second Paragraph... previous alt-text was in a element; now it is not code. 13:41:35 Shawn: Does the changed font increase or decrease readability. 13:44:23 Judy: The code font type may detract from the page usability from the point of view of visual complexity. 13:46:33 zakim, please unmute me 13:46:33 Justin should no longer be muted 13:46:36 Group: There is strong agreement to change the "code" look to a natural language setting. 13:47:40 Shawn: I think it is easier to read in a different font, but the document is visually more complex. 13:48:06 Liam: Translate the code into language. 13:49:03 Suggested text: the developer might set an image alternate description as "This image is a line art drawing of a dark green magnifying glass. If you click on it, it will take you to the Search page." However, observing a person use the site with a screen reader will clearly show the developer that the alternate description is ineffective and "search" is all that is needed. 13:49:25 zakim, please mute me 13:49:25 Justin should now be muted 13:53:06 Shawn: Last teleconference discussed... Including diverse users does not include needs... Shawn does not think needs is necessary... The point is diversity; peopple with disabilities are diverse; most people already think of people with disabilites are "needy"; myth: people have so many needs you can never satisfy them all.. 13:53:19 Harvey leaving now for another meeting 13:54:15 William: The paragraph communicates an otherness... 13:54:27 -Bingham 13:55:11 ACTION: shawn address differentness - change to diverse ? 13:58:10 Shawn: Introduction/ paragraph 2/ use of contractions? Shawn finds lack of contractions as a native speaker of English. 13:59:24 Judy: "take a web debeloper" is ideomatic. Difficulty depend on the actual contraction. 14:00:05 suggestion: "consider a web developer ..." 14:02:50 Judy: Are there any objections to sending this to the Web based survey form? 14:03:04 Group: No objections, bravo... 14:04:09 zakim, who is making noise? 14:04:28 shawn, listening for 11 seconds I heard sound from the following: Judy (49%) 14:04:42 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/ 14:04:51 Topic: Searchable Tools List 14:04:55 ooops 14:04:57 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/search 14:05:16 Shadi, is remarkably patient. 14:07:32 Shadi: Most significant change: first page is simplified then followed by a more complex search structure. Reducing subheaders, resubmit with aditional query constraints, entries should be above the fold. 14:07:33 q+ to ask about putting the disclaimer also on the first search page, *below* the search/sort criteria 14:08:19 q+ to ask about "Support for Guidelines" - do we really want to focus on others? 14:09:26 q+ to say I'd like multi-choice (e.g., option buttons rather than drop down) 14:10:41 q+ to say would be good to separate the 2 search options from the 1 sort option to clearly distingguish them 14:11:03 Judy: Does the introduction match the simplified page. Does it give you enough. 14:11:46 Tangy: Give a brief description of the search options. 14:12:09 zakim, please unmute me 14:12:09 Justin should no longer be muted 14:14:17 Justin: Should explain that the concept of search for explicit tools 14:15:32 available now: http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/existingtools 14:15:46 Shawn: currurnt design metaphor is document, instead make it search. 14:16:03 Shawn: Perhaps it should be formatted like a search page; right now it looks like a document and the reader might leave it or get the wrong mental set. 14:17:07 Judy: Change h2 elements to say search for tools. That would make the page clearer. 14:17:23 Shawn: leave the text but cut the h2. 14:19:30 William: Just make it a search page, without normal address bar, 14:21:44 use case: type in a tool name in a search box 14:23:45 Helle: Need a key to descriptions. 14:24:12 q+ to record in http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters page, link to selecting doc with explanations 14:24:45 Liam: Why is this not listed on the introduction page.. 14:25:22 Liam: intuitive disire is to have the whole list and then refine. 14:25:42 George: Works better than before. 14:25:59 q+ to record that I think we need a brief definition at the beginning of what an accessibility evaluatin tools is 14:26:42 Justin: it works better, but needs to look more like a search.. 14:27:36 shadi: give optins... simple, complete, restricted or something like that... 14:28:38 q+ to record in the advance search (http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters), take off the H2 14:29:01 Judy: does the additional search options page work well. 14:29:39 q+ to record in the advanced search http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters fix the proximity (reduce spacing before list) 14:29:53 Justin: follow the search metaphore; simple search then advanced search; for results say " results". 14:30:39 ack shawn 14:30:39 shawn, you wanted to ask about putting the disclaimer also on the first search page, *below* the search/sort criteria and to ask about "Support for Guidelines" - do we really want 14:30:43 ... to focus on others? and to say I'd like multi-choice (e.g., option buttons rather than drop down) and to say would be good to separate the 2 search options from the 1 sort 14:30:47 ... option to clearly distingguish them and to record in http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters page, link to selecting doc with explanations and to record that I think we need a 14:30:52 ... brief definition at the beginning of what an accessibility evaluatin tools is and to record in the advance search (http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters), take off the H2 and 14:30:57 ... to record in the advanced search http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/filters fix the proximity (reduce spacing before list) 14:31:43 -George_Heake 14:31:46 Shawn: {was using the queue as a place to record comments} 14:31:51 -Loughborough 14:32:06 bye all... 14:32:11 -Liam 14:32:23 Liam has left #eo 14:32:32 Scribe is now checking out... 14:32:40 -Helle_Bjarno 14:32:50 -Doyle_Saylor 14:32:51 -Justin 14:32:53 zakim, who's here? 14:32:53 On the phone I see Wayne, Helle, Judy, Shawn, Shadi 14:32:53 On IRC I see Helle, judy, Wayne, Zakim, RRSAgent, Justin, shadi, shawn 14:32:56 -Wayne 14:33:04 -Helle 14:33:09 zakim, who's here? 14:33:09 On the phone I see Judy, Shawn, Shadi 14:33:13 On IRC I see Helle, judy, Wayne, Zakim, RRSAgent, Justin, shadi, shawn 14:37:40 -Shadi 14:42:45 +Shadi 14:45:57 rrsagent, make logs world 14:46:04 -Shawn 14:46:44 present: Doyle_Saylor, Wayne, Helle_Bjarno, Bingham, George_Heake, Helle, Judy, Justin (muted), Shawn, Barry_McMullin, Shadi, Loughborough, Alan, Liam 14:47:21 agenda: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2005OctDec/0030.html 14:47:42 rrsagent, draft minutes 14:47:42 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2005/10/14-eo-minutes.html shawn 14:52:44 -Judy 14:53:26 -Shadi 14:53:27 WAI_EOWG()8:30AM has ended 14:53:29 Attendees were Doyle_Saylor, Helle_Bjarno, Bingham, Wayne, George_Heake, Judy, Justin, Shawn, Barry_McMullin, Shadi, Loughborough, Helle, Alan, Liam 14:54:01 shawn has left #eo 16:50:54 Zakim has left #eo 18:53:35 shadi has joined #eo
