Judy: The features page is now the barriers
page
... Lot of time has been spent on the evaluation report
... E-mail has sent what to focus on
... Shadi, walk people through barriers page?
Shadi: The idea is to show a before and after
mini-web site
... Before is inaccessible, After accessible, evaluation report
... The evaluation report still needs to be expanded
... We have a quite a wide range of audience.
William: Is the barriers page the first thing people see?
Shadi: We will get to that question in a bit.
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/after/
Shadi: This is what the demo page looks
like.
... We want to look at the top content bar part of the page.
... The Top bar links to the demonstration, list of barriers, and
inaccessible version.
... Everyone select the link - List of Barriers
... Next to each barrier there is a link to the evaluation report
... The barriers page gives people a high level view of what's inaccessible
on that page
William: The barriers page should have a banner on the top like the others
Shadi: The logo was to help with branding.
... But we wanted to help distinguish from the content pages and the demo
pages
Wayne: Nothing identifies what version you are looking at.
Henny: It needs more of an identification of what your on. The demonstration link should identify that you're going to the overview.
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/after/form.html
Shadi: Everyone go to the forms/survey page
... On the forms page we have a less verbose top banner. Previous questions
want more identification of where they are.
Harvey: We should tell people that its part of accessible set of pages.
Andrew: It should say barriers addressed.
Doyle: I agree
William: I'm not sure ...I think we are building this terse version of the page for ourselves and not for newcomers
Shadi: We can clearer in our links
<Andrew> Andrew: also "Inaccessible version"
Shadi: Which version of the navigation should we use?
Henny: Keep the options simple and clear but give it a label.
Andrew: Agrees
Liam: Prefers the sentence because its clearer
Henny: If its going to be a sentence, i needs to be a better written sentence
Shadi: We will have to address the issue "accessible version of what?"
Sylvie: I am not sure what question what solution we are preferring
Shadi: the home page has a full sentence for the top navigation...on the forms page it is just 3 links in brackets
Sylvie: It sounds not consistent enough.
Shadi: The way to know where you are is through color coding or invisible text for a screen reader
<scribe> ACTION: Shadi, Make top navigation for B.A.D. clearer, rework the sentence [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/07/28-eo-minutes.html#action01]
Andrew: Can you mind not centering the text?
Shadi: I don't mind.
Justin: Why does it link to an anchor of the barriers page?
Shadi: Each page will link to their list of barriers on that page
Wayne: I didn't pick up on that functionality.
Justin: When I jump into the middle of the page, I don't know where I am
Shadi: Option 1 - better titles; Option 2 - Jump to the top of the page
Shawn: Am I going to know what page in the suite I am on?
Shadi: Should know where you are on the after, harder on the before page
Wayne: If we had some type of orientation piece
Shawn: Whenever you come to a question of
usability...one way is better for novice and one way is better for repeat
users.
... should it be better for novice or advanced users?
Judy: With other suites, it has been really
novice orientated... For this, I'd hope that it'd be a resource for beginners
to show to their managers
... The biggest impact is for novice users
... I'd lean more in the direction of novice users
... has the document changed so much?
Shadi: How annoying will it be for advanced users? Is it clear where you came from in the first place?
Andrew: I don't think its any more annoying.
Henny: If you have clear links, it will work
Group: the list of barriers should jump to the top of the page
Wayne: Don't know where I am
Shawn: Maybe put it into the top page that says where you are and maybe in the barriers page it says where you came from
Shadi: Anything else on the top banner?
Wayne: the really bright colors across the top would start to get annoying.
Judy: agrees
Shadi: We chose colors that you could hopefully filter it out.
Wayne: I think the color is too strong:
Judy and William: Agrees
<Andrew> Andrew: color contrast test for after page - color difference:256 / brightness difference:119
<scribe> ACTION: shadi, link for list of barriers should jump to the top of the page and should tell you where you came from [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/07/28-eo-minutes.html#action02]
Shadi: We want a color that is less aggressive.
Wayne: We want things to be more muted.
Shadi: Its nice because its fulfilling its content.
Wayne: Its hard to study the page with it up there.
<scribe> ACTION: shadi, work on another kind of color scheme [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/07/28-eo-minutes.html#action03]
Shadi: We talked about a way of collapsing
Shawn: I wanted to click on the image in the top bar.
Shadi: What's the proposal?
Shawn: Did others have that issue?
Henny: I clicked on it.
Shadi: Do we make it link to something or do we
take it away?
... The idea was to give it a common look and feel.
Shawn: Have we talked about navigation between the different pages in the suite?
Shadi: There are four links but we are showing three.
Shawn: People will be jumping around, the
overview page looks like a WAI page, the barriers page maybe look like the
demo page
... The icon could link to the overview page.
Andrew: Would the icon take me to a list where I could get to everything quickly
Shadi: We have site index page off the overview
William: What about having a pull down menu that takes you to all the parts of the suite?
Shawn: Doesn't do anything for me
Andrew: I am not sure how you could make it a menu.
Shadi: Jump to site map or jump to overview
page
... unless there are some pressing issues, i'd like to go to the list of
barriers
... There was a proposal to make this look more like an demo page.
... This isn't demo content, this is real content
... Anybody disagree
Andrew: Prefer to keep the demo pages like the WAI
Shawn: Look at eval
Andrew: That'd be okay
Shawn: I don't think it should look like a city
lights page...but it has the similar banner navigation.
... the idea is to make the banner between the pages persist...the visual
change over isn't as abrupt.
Wayne: What if the logo was a little more meaningful
Henny: It needs to plug into the WAI web site
William: The overview page shows these things as a unit.
Wayne: I think the list of barriers looks like its part of the WAI site
Shawn: Would they look at the overview page once every know and then
Henny: It is quite a big visual jump
Judy: I'm not sure which frame work, if its going to be a w3c page, it needs to have a good visual identification with the demo...if its going to look like the eval page it needs something more that looks like WAI page
Shadi: The change of styles can be a bit of a
problem.
... Can we set it up a bit differently when your jumping around that it makes
more sense
William: This is part of the WAI thing not part of the demo thing
Shadi: Would it make sense to have this page in a different look and feel and see how that works?
Liam: Yes
Shadi: Maybe if we had two versions side by side, maybe that would help
Judy: Content of the barriers page
Shadi: If time allows, i'd like to look at this
list of barriers
... How does the title work
Wayne: I knew what it meant right away
Harvey: going to the val report, i get bogged down in the evaluation report.
Andrew: 3rd sentence doesn't make sense
... In the intro
Shadi: Home Page Barriers section
... we have an sub section called barriers...how will we deal with that
Judy: the list of inaccessible and accessible
home page shouldn't be linked listed item
... I had visualized a page icon with an x through it or a page icon with
check through it
Shadi: This is not an exclusive list of all the barriers
Andrew: If it was a sentence i'd be forced to
read the sentence to the accessible version or inaccessible version
... with the list it worked really well for me
Shawn: I had the same reaction
Shadi: How could we rename the sub section
under the home page barriers
... editors descretion?
Shawn: What about leaving it as is?
Wayne: My barriers in the section header was
when we were jumping
... I agree with shawn
<scribe> ACTION: shadi, leave all barrier page headings as they are [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/07/28-eo-minutes.html#action04]
Shadi: Do we need to add a note that is some of barriers on every subsection?
Shawn: No
Andrew: I should have read the introduction
Shawn: What happens if there are some that
missed
... Move the template to the intro
Shadi: I'd like to hear about the link to the
evaluation report
... it jumps into the evaluation report
... the eval report link gets repetitive
Andrew: I found this structure fine...the
repetitive stuff was okay
... I didn't mind that I was jump into the page b/c i was being told that in
my link
Wayne the repetition doesn't bother me
Shadi: Lets go through each list item one by
one
... #1
... We have audience of technical and not technical users
Wayne: What do you mean by coding?
Shawn: Don't most people know code
Shadi: You can identify visually its not "coded" correctly
#4
Andrew: Different sentence structure
Henny: Instead of ambiguous use uninformative
Shadi: Ambiguous is supposed to be more of an umbrella term
Judy: How about unclear
Shawn: But it is clear
Shadi: #5
Doyle: Text is lost off page when text size is decreased
William: What if you increased the text size using a magnifier
Shadi: Then your zooming into the page
Andrew: The text isn't getting lost in inaccessible version
Shadi: Lets imagine it works
Wayne: You could put text may disappear
Shadi: Change disappear to not be readable
Shawn: How come it may not be readable
... Doyle suggested hidden
Wayne: I think hidden maybe a good word
Judy: Can we look at the sections and see if the are any that need to be worked on
Shadi: It explains in the news article section why it doesn't work
Andrew: The font sizes can be introduced in firefox
William: This says the page can not be read without style sheets
Shadi: The tickets page
William: Markup and code in the first one
Shadi: The survey form page
... The template page - this was originally at the top. this note would
disappear
Andrew: Do we need to include what a template is
Wayne: The template page is listed like its another page...its not a page...its a template for all the other pages
Judy: Isn't the template barriers important for understanding the rest of the barriers
Wayne: Just don't want it to look like every
other pages
... I like where it is just want it be differentiated
<Andrew> Andrew: what about calling it "page template" rather than "template page"?
