Are we saying, here is a process you can go through. Or are we saying, here are important, common things to check? 13:40:13 ...Suzette had an idea for reorganization. She put that in a new wiki page for us to review. Thanks Suzette for doing that. 13:40:32 ...several people commented 13:40:41 Andrew: reads the flow comments 13:42:55 zakim, who is making noise? 13:43:08 shawn, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Suzette] (9%), Shadi (29%), Sharron (10%), Shawn (9%), Jennifer (5%) 13:43:18 Suzette: The main content is changing as we are still discussing it. I was glad to see trying out the new format with the Forms content. I think this order might be easier for the novice to relate to. 13:43:28 Shadi: Can you say more about the elements? 13:43:46 +[IPcaller] 13:43:58 zakim, +[IPcaller] is LiamM 13:43:58 sorry, LiamM, I do not recognize a party named '+[IPcaller]' 13:44:05 zakim, [IPcaller] is LiamM 13:44:05 +LiamM; got it 13:44:29 Suzette: Wanted to put things into terms that can be understood by those who don't develop or may not be familiar. 13:45:14 zakim, who is making noise? 13:45:24 shawn, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: AnnaBelle (4%) 13:45:51 Shadi: To start with page title seems like it may be confusing because the accessibility issue is not as clear. Starting with something like headings might be better because it involves design. 13:46:20 Jennifer: But starting with page title is good becasue it is so easy. it begins with soemthing that is very easynto accomplish and understand. 13:46:43 Liam: If you only have access to CMS, headings are easier to change than page title. 13:47:08 Shawn: We're expecting that people may not be on their own site. 13:47:47 q+ 13:48:20 ...so in summary, the questions are - do we want an easy win, and easy check, a clear accessibility issue, or what is the emphasis to be? 13:49:00 Sharron: I agree with Jennifer 13:49:22 Shawn: It is the simplest in terms of the instructions themselves - easy to do. 13:49:23 q+ 13:50:19 Sharron: I am not sure that people will be making judgements about what is or is not an accessiiblity issue 13:50:26 ack me 13:50:30 Shawn: And there is a short reference in the intro 13:50:33 q/ 13:50:35 q? 13:51:01 ack s 13:51:39 Shadi: Jennifer convinced me. The better chance of winning is a positive encouragement so I want to move away from the idea that the order is not relative to the importance of the issue. 13:52:03 ...color contrast then seems as though it would come before keyboard access 13:53:13 zakim, mute me 13:53:13 Shadi should now be muted 13:53:58 Suzette: Must identify which page you are testing and so if there is a good title, you will be more able to do that. 13:54:36 AnnaBelle: Are we going to explicitly state the order in the introduction? 13:55:31 Sharron: That would support Shadi's comment that we need to get away from the idea that it is in order of importance 13:55:46 Shawn: When we move this to a page, we will nto have numbered order. 13:55:47 ack me 13:55:48 ack me 13:55:55 Jennifer: No strong opinion. 13:56:28 zakim, mute me 13:56:28 Shadi should now be muted 13:56:37 not in order of importance, rather in (sort of) order of complexity - worth mentioning 13:56:44 Shadi: That may be a bit too formal. In the How to Use this Document section, perhaps make sure that there is no misunderstanding about ordered for importance. 13:57:03 Shawn: Are we OK saying to just watch for this later? 13:57:09 ack me 13:57:22 zakim, mute me 13:57:22 Bim should now be muted 13:57:41 ...that is something we can check out at CSUN. Informal user testing, and see what people assume? 13:58:27 http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Eval_Analysis 13:58:38 Action: Andrew to add note about order to evaluation analysis page. Will add section on notes for usability testing. 13:58:38 Created ACTION-269 - Add note about order to evaluation analysis page. Will add section on notes for usability testing. [on Andrew Arch - due 2013-02-15]. 13:59:46 Shawn: I had some comments on the headings and will see if we have time to come back to that 13:59:59 Topic: Easy Checks - Indicating nonvisual and visual checks 14:01:03 Shawn: Did you ahve a chance to look at that? Some steps require you to see the page visually. We have also been mindful of including checks that can be done without being able to see. 14:01:50 ...Sharron and Vicki said the current way of labeling is cluttered, what do others think? 14:02:34 Jennifer: Absolutely agree with the clutter comment. I'm just having a hard time estimating how many sub points will there be? 14:02:51 ...I think blind people will be able to figure out what they can and cannot do. 14:03:00 zakim, who is making noise? 14:03:11 LiamM, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Andrew (29%), Jennifer (48%) 14:03:23 ...in a wierd kind of way it shows that blind users may be limited if they are hired as a tester. 14:04:05 Sharron: one short sentence 14:04:14 q+ 14:04:16 q1 14:04:17 Some checks require you to be able to see the visual rendering of the page. These are marked [visual]. We've indicated checks that do not require seeing the page with [non-visual]. 14:04:35 Jennifer: Yes that is what I was thinking and if people catch it in the intro , fine. 14:04:37 ack s 14:04:44 ack me 14:05:23 zakim, mute me 14:05:23 Shadi should now be muted 14:05:25 Shadi: Is it only visual that is an impact. What about multimedia aspect that may be inaccessible to some? 14:05:25 q+ 14:05:37 ack bim 14:05:41 ack me 14:06:39 Bim: I was thinking about using the word concentrate. The test concentrate on ... or something. Many of these tests can be performed by everyone and if not, they are indicated. 14:06:49 ack s 14:06:55 Shawn: So the point is to say that everyone can do most things 14:07:03 zakim, mute me 14:07:03 Bim should now be muted 14:07:52 Suzette: One of the benefits of ordering by elements as I suggested is that it moves away from the idea that people with disabilities cannot do effective evaluation. 14:08:29 ack me 14:08:40 Shawn: if youa re a screen reader user, or you are deaf and you can't do some of these checks, would it be annoying to realize that while you are in process? 14:08:53 q+ 14:09:29 Andrew: I think that most people will read through the checks first and be able to self-regulate about whether they will be able to complete the process before they jump in and find out while in process. They will recognize their ability to complete. 14:10:27 Bim: Blind people are very well aware of what they are/are not able to do. In many cases, if a blind person is testing, they are often assigned a work buddy. Let's don't be too precious about it. 14:10:31 q+ 14:10:36 ack b 14:10:46 ack me 14:10:46 ack s 14:10:49 zakim, mute me 14:10:49 Bim should now be muted 14:10:56 Shawn: Take all references off of the section headings and add to the watch items. 14:11:23 zakim, mute me 14:11:23 Shadi should now be muted 14:11:27 Shadi: Yes, I support that. And related to the ordering, we should be mindful to start with things that can be perfromed by all. 14:11:48 Jennifer: Yes I can't think of anyone who can't check for page titles. 14:12:16 +1 14:12:20 Shawn: Andrew, please add that to the Analysis wiki 14:12:30 +1 14:12:42 good 14:13:00 ...and add to the usability testing as well, please. 14:13:26 Topic: Easy Checks - specific sections 14:13:33 Subtopic: Multimedia 14:13:40 http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Web_Accessibility_Preliminary_Evaluation#Check_multimedia_.28video.2C_audio.29_alternatives 14:14:07 Shawn: Sharron updated this section. Have people had time to review? 14:14:22 zakim, who is noisey? 14:14:22 I don't understand your question, shawn. 14:14:28 zakim, who is making noise? 14:14:39 shawn, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Sharron (4%) 14:14:46 IanPouncey has joined #EO 14:15:23 ack me 14:16:36 IanPouncey has joined #EO 14:16:52 Suzette: About auto-play, should we not mention that? 14:17:00 and what about audio contrast? 14:17:01 level 14:17:02 a 14:17:05 Sharron: Yes I did not even think about that, good point. 14:17:50 +[IPcaller] 14:17:54 Andrew: What about the question of audio contrast? 14:18:00 Zakim, IPcaller is me 14:18:00 +IanPouncey; got it 14:18:09 Shawn: Is that beyond Easy Check? 14:18:45 Andrew: Well I think most people with standard hearing should be able to make a brief judgement about whether it is comprehensible. 14:19:24 Jennifer: It is an easy check but since this sectin is short and sweet, do we want to make it longer and more complex? 14:20:35 Shawn: And it is not really an easy check to make a final decision about it, only that it MIGHT be an issue for further investigation. 14:21:12 +1 to liam 14:21:13 ...since not easy to finally determine and not a frequently occuring problem, we can leave it out. Or we can say it is an easy one to understand and so we could include it. 14:21:48 Liam: I am in favor of leaving it out as a rare and unusual problem that could only confuse people. 14:22:32 Shawn: OK, if no objections we will leave that out. 14:22:56 Liam: and putting in specific instructions, such as how to turn on captions. 14:23:07 Shawn: Thoughts on that? anyone? 14:23:12 ack me 14:24:02 Shawn: Do we need to say how to in YouTube only? Bimeo as well? 14:24:17 Liam: We should do both. 14:24:35 s/Bimeo /Vimeo 14:27:26 I sometimes recomend also offering a download option to play in the agent of choice 14:29:34 Shawn: Because the multimedia issues may be quite complex, we have simplified to the point that an assumption might be made that every video must have audio description, captioning and transcript. Which is not true. 14:30:02 ...is ther a good place to point about explaining the levels well for multimedia 14:30:23 ...do we need to say something about conformance levels in relation to multimedia. 14:30:29 zakim, who is on the phone? 14:30:29 On the phone I see Suzette], Sharron, Bim (muted), Shawn, Shadi (muted), Andrew, Jennifer, AnnaBelle, LiamM, IanPouncey 14:30:30 ack me 14:30:43 Q+ 14:31:51 ack me 14:33:01 Bim: I was just thinking that it is very complex although it could be explained in a few words. Is there enough explanation of the fact that its audio description OR transcript to meet level A? 14:33:24 Shawn: It is not easy to find that answer in the current guidelines. 14:33:42 Sharron: Should that be in the intro? 14:34:25 Bim: Could it be in What to Look For? Audio description for AA, AD or transcript for A? 14:34:37 zakim, mute me 14:34:37 Bim should now be muted 14:35:44 talk of levels would just seem to add a layer of confusion for new folk - especially if just on some checks 14:36:17 action: Sharron to take comments about multimedia and revise for review 14:36:17 Created ACTION-270 - Take comments about multimedia and revise for review [on Sharron Rush - due 2013-02-15]. 14:36:22 zakim, mute me 14:36:22 Shadi should now be muted 14:36:33 Subtopic: Page titles 14:37:50 Shawn: This one is getting close, want to pull out few remaining things. Comments were made about visual complexity, needed simplification. Edits have been made, what to people think. Particularly about Tips. 14:40:22 examples are good to aid understanding 14:40:37 like the examples 14:40:50 Sharron: +1 14:40:56 +1 14:41:59 -Shadi 14:42:33 -LiamM 14:42:43 Shawn: I deleted a bunch of things, is it OK as is? 14:43:27 ...a few actions that need to be done. 14:43:40 ack me 14:44:40 LiamM has joined #eo 14:45:22 ACTION: Andrew to look up keyboard equivalents on FF toolbar instructions for page title and other places where @@keyboard equivalent occurs on wiki page.? 14:45:22 Created ACTION-271 - Look up keyboard equivalents on FF toolbar instructions for page title and other places where @@keyboard equivalent occurs on wiki page.?

I thought about trying to do this on my own site as a sandbox. 14:46:43 Shawn: send me the images? 14:47:04 AnnaBelle: I like to work with them a bit first. I will point you to that when I am done. 14:47:25 ACTION: Shawn to figure out how to add images in the wiki. 14:47:25 Created ACTION-272 - Figure out how to add images in the wiki. [on Shawn Henry - due 2013-02-15]. 14:48:14 Subtopic: Alt Text 14:48:53 Alt text depends on content. For example, for an image of a dog on a kennel club website, the alt text might include the breed of the dog; however, the same image on a dog park website may be there just to make the page more attractive, and the image might not need any alt text (null alt explained below). [@@ new sentence:] One way to help think about appropriate alt text is: if you were helping 14:48:54 someone read and interact with the web page and they cannot see it, what would you say about the image? 14:50:07 Shawn: Does the new sentence help? 14:50:18 Q+ 14:50:28 Jennifer: Yes and is clear as is, do not need the phone reference in this context. 14:50:32 ack me 14:50:43 Sharron: +1 to Jennifer 14:52:45 zakim, mute me 14:52:45 Bim should now be muted 14:53:34 Shawn: If the image is sufficiently described in the text — for example, a simple diagram illustrating what's written in the web page text — it does not need additional alt text. [@@ suggest null or "illustration described in main text" or other? Andrew: I usually suggest alt-text along the lines of "Diagram of (something) as describe above/below"] 14:53:52 important iomage still, so not NUL 14:54:14 Jennifer: I personally prefer diagram xyz is described below but not sure if I am in the minority. 14:54:57 Andrew: So a person who does not see the image, knows that it is there in case of conversation about it with a sighted user. 14:55:42 Jennifer: Yes, I like to know that the diagram is there 14:56:03 +Shadi 14:56:05 Shawn: The alt text does not need to include the words "button", "link", or "image of". [@@suzette: because the screen reader will indicate this automatically. shawn: too screen reader focused? what about others not seeing images? andrew: alt-text for PWD is primarily for screen-reader users] 14:56:13 zakim, mute me 14:56:13 Shadi should now be muted 14:57:02 Suzette: It is important to help people understand how it is announced so that they know why it is redundant. 14:57:16 Suzette's suggestion adds explanation 14:57:42 Shawn: We generally want to be careful about feeding the myth that it is for blind users only. 14:58:11 Q+ 14:58:15 Sharron: Could say assitive technology instead 14:58:20 people will wonder why not to add 'button' etc if they're new 14:58:24 ack me 14:59:15 Bim: Does it have to be about screen readers? 14:59:57 ...There is normally a placeholder related to the size of the image so you would be aware that the image was not there. 15:00:19 Shawn: But if you are a sighted user, with images turned off, you might not know it is a button. 15:00:23 zakim, mute me 15:00:23 Bim should now be muted 15:00:24 ack me 15:00:28 zakim, mute me 15:00:28 Shadi should now be muted 15:02:19 alt decistion tree: http://dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/#tree 15:02:20 Shawn: There is in the EOWG notes section a link to the decision tree. We would not want to reference now, but maybe after publication as a draft 15:03:03 q+ 15:03:03 ...question is whether to possibly confuse people about the Easy Check 15:03:10 +1 15:03:18 Sharron: Why not put it in the "To Learn More" section? 15:03:43 ack me 15:03:43 Jennifer: +1 15:04:46 zakim, mute me 15:04:46 Shadi should now be muted 15:04:53 Shadi: you mentioned earlier the Application Notes and I know this draft is coming out before that, but you could add that there will be more information coming. This might help us prioritize the Application Notes 15:04:58 ack me 15:05:02 zakim, mute me 15:05:03 Shadi should now be muted 15:07:15 Shawn: Andrew vbrought up the possibility of confusing people about the fact that CSS images will not have alt. But the explanation itself could add complexity. Thoughts? 15:07:17 ack me 15:07:39 Bim: I don't think it is that complex to explain. 15:07:54 Shawn: Our target audience for this may not know what CSS is. 15:08:16 zakim, me me 15:08:17 I don't understand 'me me', Bim 15:08:25 Liam: Stay away from it. We can't get them to do everything, let's get them to do something that they understand fairly easily. 15:08:43 Andrew: Must accept that they will be confused in some circumstance. 15:09:10 Shawn: But during usability testing, we should look out for that confusion and see how much of a problem it is. 15:10:06 Topic - Title Ideas for Easy Checks document 15:10:15 Easy Checks - A First Look at Web Accessibility 15:10:36 Shawn: Current title is "Easy Checks-a First Look at Web Accessibility" 15:10:40 ack me 15:11:08 zakim, who is on the phone? 15:11:08 On the phone I see Suzette], Sharron, Bim, Shawn, Andrew, Jennifer, AnnaBelle, IanPouncey, LiamM, Shadi (muted) 15:11:21 Bim: I like it, it is reassuring but gives the clear message that it is not a complete audit. It has the right kind of wording for those who use search engines. 15:11:28 zakim, mute me 15:11:28 Bim should now be muted 15:11:35 q+ to ask about confusion with 'Preliminary Review of Websites for Accessibility' 15:11:45 ack me 15:11:53 Andrew: I can live with it 15:11:57 ack liam 15:11:57 LiamM, you wanted to ask about confusion with 'Preliminary Review of Websites for Accessibility' 15:12:05 proposed title doesn't quite work for me, but it's ok 15:13:04 Liam: Wondering if the title clearly provides a signpost to differentiate from previous documents. 15:13:07 Shawn: This will replace that document. 15:13:27 "A First Look at Web Accessibility" is misleading - it's just a first look at testing/checking 15:13:29 ..probably should put somewhere "formerly known as..." 15:13:37 zakim, please mute me 15:13:37 LiamM should now be muted 15:14:10 Shawn: Right but it does asay checks. 15:14:33 Andrew: But this really does not describe web accessibility but does describe a testing process. 15:15:04 Shadi: I had a similar reaction.
