21:11:08 [AndrewR]
the first proposal was to remove the note from principle B.3
21:11:17 [AndrewR]
no other principles have notes

21:14:16 [AndrewR]
JR - if we create an understanding document it could go in there
21:14:29 [AndrewR]
JR - although it doesn't really relate to any checkpoints
21:14:53 [AndrewR]
JR - if the accessibility features do not fit in with the rest of the tool it will be detrimental
21:15:26 [AndrewR]
JT - could we integrate it into a rationale somewhere?
21:16:11 [AndrewR]
JR - if it's not doing any harm can we keep it for now with an editors note to say this isn't the final home for this?

21:17:28 [AndrewR]
JR - i've seen tools that have done accessibility in a bad way
21:17:36 [AndrewR]
JR - it can be a real "killer"
21:18:44 [AndrewR]
Action: JR Try to find a home for the B.3 note within the document
21:18:44 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-52 - Try to find a home for the B.3 note within the document [on Jan Richards - due 2008-12-01].
21:19:23 [AndrewR]
JS - maybe it belongs in the introduction?
21:19:53 [AndrewR]
Topic: Proposed Rewording B.3.1 Rationale
21:21:33 [AndrewR]
JR - say the author has to make something bold
21:21:49 [AndrewR]
JR - they are likely to use the first way they encounter
21:23:40 [jeanne]
+1 to OR
21:23:52 [AndrewR]

21:25:00 [jeanne]
action: JS to Add new wording for B.3.1 Rationale to next week's survey. (and changed to or)
21:25:00 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-53 - Add new wording for B.3.1 Rationale to next week's survey. (and changed to or) [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2008-12-01].
21:25:25 [AndrewR]
Topci: Proposed Rewording B.3.1.1
21:27:14 [AndrewR]
JR - do we need to tie "accessible outcome" into the WCAG Levels somehow?
21:29:17 [AndrewR]
JS - what would be an example where someone would implement this but not adhere to WCAG?
21:29:34 [AndrewR]
JS - not sure we need to jump through a lot of hoops to tie it to WCAG
21:29:49 [AndrewR]
JS - as long as we're not leaving any big loop holes in the document
21:31:21 [AndrewR]
JR - take colour contrast as an example
21:31:36 [AndrewR]
JR - there is 5:1 and also 7:1 in WCAG
21:31:49 [AndrewR]
JR - a highlight button in a tool could conform to either levels
21:32:38 [AndrewR]
JS - i'm concerned this may be too granular
21:34:03 [AndrewR]
JR - what about making something a heading?
21:34:22 [AndrewR]
JS - the tool should never give the user the option to make something a heading just by making it bold
21:34:35 [AndrewR]
JS - the bold tag has been deprecated
21:34:53 [AndrewR]
JS - and styling something as bold doesn't communicate any semantic information
21:35:17 [AndrewR]
JR - i'm just thinking how users work at the moment
21:37:43 [AndrewR]
JR - when there are 2 ways to do something that both make something look the same way, the tool should promote the more accessible way of doing it
21:38:09 [AndrewR]
JR - i.e. the idea of "mainstream rendered outcome"
21:39:03 [AndrewR]
JS - bold is a bad example
21:39:13 [AndrewR]
JS - colour contrast is a better example
21:39:24 [jeanne]
color contrast is a good example because there is a choice to the user.
21:42:49 [AndrewR]
Action: JR to propose a rewording for the survey that takes into account WCAG Levels
21:42:49 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-54 - Propose a rewording for the survey that takes into account WCAG Levels [on Jan Richards - due 2008-12-01].
21:44:24 [AndrewR]
Action: JR to propose a rewording for the survey that takes into account WCAG Levels for B.3.1.1
21:44:24 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-55 - Propose a rewording for the survey that takes into account WCAG Levels for B.3.1.1 [on Jan Richards - due 2008-12-01].
21:44:42 [AndrewR]
Topic: Proposed Rewording B.3.2.1
21:45:48 [AndrewR]
JR - we used to have something like the proposed new rewording
21:46:08 [AndrewR]
JR - comments came back saying "how do we know this is integrated"
21:46:35 [AndrewR]
JR - this is why we added the part about the accessibility options being included before the first opportunity to finish
21:49:24 [AndrewR]
JS - some large organisations might have a more distributed workflow
21:49:41 [AndrewR]
JS - e.g. the person adding an image may not be the person adding the alt text
21:50:35 [AndrewR]
JR - there are wizards where the "finish" button is greyed out until all mandatory steps are complete
21:50:47 [AndrewR]
JR - but Jeanne has a good point
21:51:04 [jeanne]
I like Jutta's wording, because it is inclusive of different workflows
21:53:05 [AndrewR]
JS - large companies would never have a visual person writing alt text for example
21:53:59 [jeanne]
A CMS designed for large companies would be designed for different departments working on the workflow.
21:56:15 [AndrewR]
JR - i think we need to add some example of workflows to our guideline
21:57:02 [AndrewR]
Action: jeanne Propose some example workflows for B.3.2.1
21:57:02 [trackbot]
