a conformance (or another word) claim (or another word), like 'to our knowledge'? 15:32:31 ack me 15:32:34 q? 15:32:38 peter: want this to be helpful for others who haven't worked on the website 15:33:18 q+ 15:33:33 -Vivienne 15:33:42 q? 15:33:47 shadi: agrees that this a bigger issue than this methodology which is bound to WCAG - we are not chartered or scoped to address this issue. inherent aspect of wcag, that the methodology applies to the entire scope of the website 15:34:21 shadi: we will not be able to address it in this draft, even though this is an important issue 15:34:30 q? 15:34:53 q+ 15:35:11 peter: want to avoid the language, 'alternative to a conformance claim'. this is not an alternative. really likes the phrase, 'evaluation findings.' 15:35:14 q- korn 15:36:25 q- 15:36:32 q- eric 15:36:34 peter: is not recommending that this issue hold up the public working draft 15:36:46 q+ 15:36:59 Sorry guys, I can't get back on the call 15:37:11 q? 15:37:13 ack me 15:37:21 shadi: can you really do a conformance claim, maybe to the 'best of our knowledge' would be good to do in the next version of the working doc. 15:37:36 s/shadi/eric 15:37:41 zakim, mute me 15:37:41 Shadi should now be muted 15:37:57 q+ 15:38:33 zakim keeps tellingme my passcode is not valid! 15:38:45 detlev: all or nothing evaluation methodology is difficult. evaluation findings is usually more the case. we don't place ourselves outside of the practical side of this 15:39:41 ack me 15:39:50 zakim, mute me 15:39:50 Detlev should now be muted 15:39:53 detlev: using conformance claim, the risk is that people will downplay the risks, and impact the credibility of the claim 15:40:12 q+ 15:41:25 shadi: two aspects - peter - you can't evaluate everything - scoping issue; detlev - tolerance aspect - websites will typically have some oversight or issue; maybe they need to be addressed slightly differently 15:42:49 peter: developers probably can't make conformance claims. they have more knowledge, but all apps have bugs. wacg is structured around conformance claims, but nothing is ever perfect, so a conformance claim approach is problematic. 15:42:50 q+ 15:43:05 q- 15:43:58 +Katie_Haritos-Shea 15:43:58 peter: this is not only scoping or complexity, but a mixture of both. could we put this as a action item - to explore 'evaluation finding' and challenges of making claims on dynamic, complex apps 15:44:34 ack me 15:44:42 thumbs up for that issue! 15:44:47 eric: will make this part of the "issue" list 15:45:36 Zakim, mute me 15:45:36 Detlev was already muted, Detlev 15:45:59 Issue: Further explore "evaluation findings" as a concept, and language that describes the challenges of making a "conformance claim" for large sites, dynamic sites, web apps 15:45:59 Created ISSUE-13 - Further explore "evaluation findings" as a concept, and language that describes the challenges of making a "conformance claim" for large sites, dynamic sites, web apps; please complete additional details at . 15:46:33 Thanks Peter 15:47:35 mike: conformance claims seems to be more objective than they actually are; however, for all practical purposes, even if the findings are all transparent, someone is going to compare them. they will try to create a score or metric to compare the two tools. so, if we don't establish the metric for conformance claim, someone else will. 15:48:11 q? 15:48:17 q- mik 15:48:20 q+ 15:49:20 peter: we should also be aware of this this will be used. language is important and if we suggest that this is 'the number' or 15:49:57 q- 15:49:58 q+ 15:50:02 peter: or 'yes, it passes' can be risky, since it usually isn't true 15:50:02 ack me 15:50:14 q+ 15:50:19 q+ 15:50:44 shadi: i don't disagree with the discussion, but does this belong in wcag, or in this methodology? needs to be discussed in the wcat working group. 15:51:02 ack me 15:51:47 q+ 15:52:39 detlev: the methodology should draw a clear line between the 'check' and what it really does, which is show where the problems in the site are. more realistic and more usable. 15:53:04 Zakim, mute me 15:53:04 Detlev should now be muted 15:53:32 peter: we are all members of wcag or eval tf, so anything has to be approved by the wcag working group anyway 15:54:14 ack me 15:54:17 q- 15:55:14 -Katie_Haritos-Shea 15:55:29 shadi: it is our responsibility to bring back findings to the working group. so far in our draft, we have that you do a 'conformance check with reasonable confidence.' 15:56:11 I have been going on about that repeatedly but it did not find consinsus of course 15:56:39 sometimes consensus building takes its time, Detlev :) 15:56:48 sure :-) 15:57:36 eric: watch for the revised diagram and get comments back to the group quickly 16:00:15 -Sarah 16:02:13 Thanks, all.
