Complete processes must not be missed 15:19:22 zakim, mute me 15:19:22 Vivienne should now be muted 15:21:10 q+ 15:21:23 ME: Frequency of issue appearing - raises question of consistency. Templates help to check consistency of coding in website. Problem with limited sample is that developers may claim a structured approach but that may not be true and should be checked, ideally. 15:21:27 q? 15:21:36 ack me 15:21:40 ack mike 15:22:14 MH: In partial evaluations, can we use the same sampling rules? 15:22:32 zakim, mute me 15:22:32 houtepen should now be muted 15:22:42 zakim 15:22:47 EV: Needs discussion.

Even 20 pages would take a significant amount of time 15:39:48 Sarah: Discount usability procedure is an example of a weay of getting a pretty good idea of the state, there are diminishing returns with more users / pages 15:40:12 q+ 15:41:29 RW: With a site like Amazon you got 1000s of pages but templates mean tzhey are mostly similar pages; on other more diverse sites you need a larger sample. A ruigit perecntage won't work 15:41:44 ack richard 15:42:38 q+ 15:42:51 q? 15:42:53 Responding to Richard - depends on what you call the 'site.'

All identified pages went into the sample. 15:47:13 q? 15:47:37 ack tim 15:47:37 This was a good approach for WCAG 1.0 - as pages were in effect delivered to the evaluator - however, WCAG 2.0 is a bigger beast. 15:48:26 ack me 15:48:28 TB: Site analytics could suggest most visited pages to enter the sample. There is no one sampling method working across the board; therefore the evaluator should document the sampling method used 15:48:40 q+ 15:49:07 q- 15:49:16 MH: Choose some pages with multimedia if there are many in the site 15:49:38 EV: should pages be added manually (q to Aliastair) 15:49:42 zakim, mute me 15:49:42 houtepen should now be muted 15:50:27 AG: good point to select pages that are frequently used - link that to pages to which many checkpoints apply 15:51:00 ack me 15:51:02 AG: Helps finding the few pages that have special elements like Video 15:51:21 zakim, mute me 15:51:21 Shadi should now be muted 15:52:01 http://code.google.com/p/googlesitemapgenerator/ have a look at this for selecting pages which are frequently viewed 15:52:05 EV: Proposes discussing number of pages in mailing list, continue discussion with AG about automatic selection of pages 15:52:06 zakim, take up next 15:52:06 agendum 2.
