F2F Planning

AM: Ann can attend by teleconference

<scribe> ACTION: JR to Announce the F2F data and time [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/20-au-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-140 - Announce the F2F data and time [on Jan Richards - due 2009-04-27].

B.2.4

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2009AprJun/0010.html

JR B.2.4 Assist authors with maintaining alternative content fornon-text objects.

Rationale: Improperly generated alternative content can create

accessibility problems and interfere with accessibility checking.

JT: B.2.4 Assist authors with managing alternative content for non-text objects.

B.2.4.1 Editable: Authors are able to modify alternative content for

non-text objects. This includes types of alternative content that may

not typically be displayed on screen by user agents.

B.2.4.2 Automated suggestions: During the authoring session, the

authoring tool can automatically suggest *alternative content* for

non-text objects under the following conditions:

- author control: authors have the opportunity to accept, modify, or

reject the suggested *alternative content* prior to insertion.

- relevant sources: the suggested *alternative content* is only derived

from sources designed to be fulfill the same purpose (e.g., suggesting

the value of an image's "description" metadata field as a long description).

B.2.4.3 Let user agents repair: After the authoring session, the

authoring tool does not attempt to repair *alternative content* for

non-text objects using text content that is equally available to user

agents (e.g., the filename). (Level A)

B.2.4.4 Special Values: The authoring tool follows recommendations on

special values for *alternative content* (e.g., in HTML4 alt="" denotes

images that should be ignored by assistive technology). (Level A)

B.2.4.5 Save for Reuse: Provide authors with the option of having

any *recognized* plain text alternative content that they enter (e.g.,

short text labels, long descriptions) stored for future reuse (Level AA).

Applicability Note:

- This guideline applies when non-text objects are specified by

authors (e.g., an author inserts an image). When non-text objects are

automatically added by the authoring tool, Guideline B.1.3 applies.

To help people understand the implications of the proposal

(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2009AprJun/0010.html),

here's an example workflow of a person uploading a bunch of images to a

photo-sharing site:

1. author logs into the photo sharing site

2. author uses the uploader feature to upload 50 pics of a vacation

(XYZ0001.png, XYZ0002.png,..., XYZ0050.png) into an album the author

calls "Paris 2009".

3. a prompt appears asking the author to write descriptive labels for

each image to facilitate text searching and access by people with

disabilities. [This meets B.2.1.1 (prompting for accessibility info.

req.) and also B.2.4.1.]

4. Since no label or description is included in the photo metadata no

default @alt value is provided. [meeting B.2.4.2]

5. the author logs off without adding individual text alternatives

(ending their "authoring session")

6. the photo sharing site assigns the @alt strings "Photo 1 of 50 of

album Paris 2009" [meeting B.2.4.3 because this info isn't equally

available to user agents]

7. when the author logs back in they still see indicators on the images

and/or the album that reminds them that the images are still lacking

descriptive labels. [meeting B.2.2.1 (Check Accessibility req.)]

NOTE: the page will NOT meet WCAG 2.0 because the text alternative does

not serve the equivalent purpose - BUT REMEMBER there is no absolute

requirement of ATAG 2.0 that all user-specified content meet WCAG 2.0.

Resolution: Put in the proposed B.2.4

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2009AprJun/0014.html

TB's comments with JR's proposals:

> Global Note: the "[UAAG 1.0]" designations should be linked to

> appropriate version/spec..

All: Agree

CURRENT:

ATAG 2.0 defines an "authoring tool" as any application, part of an

application, or collection of applications that authors interact with to

create, modify or assemble Web content to be used by other people.PROPOSED:

ATAG 2.0 defines an "authoring tool" as any software application, part

of an application, or collection of applications that authors interact

with to create, modify or assemble Web content to be used by other people.

All: Agree

CURRENT:

- WYSIWYG editors, plain text editors (embedded and stand-alone)

PROPOSED:

- WYSIWYG editors, plain text editors

All: OK

GP: Actually...
... OK

Content => Web Content

All: OK

PROPOSED:

APPLICATIONS THAT ARE USED TO CREATE CONTENT IN REAL TIME (e.g., chats,

collaboration tools, whiteboards, etc.) are only required to meet Part

A. However, many guidelines in Part B may still usefully apply,

especially if the AUTHORING tool archives as Web content. For more

information, please see the Techniques - Appendix E: Real-time content

production.

All: OK

PROPOSED:

Generally use "authoring tool" instead of just "tool".

All: OK

functions related to accessibility=>accessible content support features

All: OK

> Relationship to the WCAG:

> Do we want to still list "WCAG1.0" after "e.g.", since WCAG2.0 is

> now a rec?

http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-ATAG20-20090217/#intro-rel-wcag

JR: Concerns about older tools

GP: WCAG2 is the current standard

TB: WCAG group is trying to push adoption of next WCAG version

<Greg> wcag 2.0 only

TB: +1

AM: +1

JT: Brings up point of system meeting wcag2 vs. all pages meeting wcag2
... WCAG2 takes the "every page" approach

<Greg> I also remembered more than just wysig and text required, template, command line driven
