Publication timeline update - Techniques in by May 15!

May 15 is the date to get techniques for November publication

Six months apart is what we are going for

Survey on techniques and comments: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/15thApril2014/

AWK: Survey
... Draft proposal for techniques for dynamic content

<Joshue> +q

Joshue: This goes beyond SCR 21

AWK: goes through comments in survey with users

Joshue: People are using libraies these days... don't now how to address that in our techniques

AWK: JQUERY is used but we can't rely on it...

<AWK> Original comment that kicked this off: https://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/35422/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20140107/2891

<David_> Loretta: We shouldn't stand behind a library.. don't endorse anything

<David_> test

<Joshue> DMcD: It's a difficult question, I hear what Josh is saying about real world development.

<Joshue> DMcD: We do want to make sure what we put in works.

<Joshue> DMcD: If we did identify widgets that worked well in JQuery for example, what would be the harm? We link to other resources like Juicy Studio etc.

<Joshue> DMcD: We do need to acknowledge if people are doing things right.

Loretta: I have nightmare of GOV of Canada or otherw saying, you must you foo library

David: Yes it is a real concern

AWK: Original comment was form Wilco... we should address applicability of SCR 21, limit it to that now...

Josh: Yes let's limit to SCR 21

<Joshue> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/SCR21

Josh: Should we retire it

AWK: Wilco doen't think it aplies to 1.3.1 but it might apply to others such as meaningful sequence
... it is so braod of a way of using technology, that is cannot be made consise?

Josh:

it could be a simpler techniue to cut down, and perhaps expand out to other applicability

David: GOV of Canada called me up and said document.write should not be discouraged

AWK: seems to discourage some practises rather than encouraging good practises
... example hard to map to 1.3.1
... if it was titled how to insert a heading into a oage maybe that work

Josh: yes agree, title of technique not accurate

<Loretta> Someone might check with Cynthia Shelly on the history of this technique.

Josh: turning down volume on the don't in the technique could make it a lot more useful
... can't we map to a conformance requirement

s/josh/john

<Joshue> DMacD: I don't think we have ever mapped to a conformance requirement

LORETTA: We could map to a conformance criteria
... with this mapping to 4.1.1 is that you run risk of things like duplicate ids

<Joshue> ACTION: Josh to ping Cynthia for some background on SCR21 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/04/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-253 - Ping cynthia for some background on scr21 [on Joshue O Connor - due 2014-04-22].

<Joshue> +Q

Gregg: We try to talk about positives, but you can talk in a positive way about things to avoid... so you could say, "this is done in this way to avoid that.... but we usually try to say why

<AWK> Techniques that refer to conformance requirements only currently for CR#1: http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/20140408/#conformance-reqs

Gregg: wrt to wuestion about mapping to conformance criteria... usually it is in conjunction with a SC, but the things that are required are using SC within the conformance criteria, i think we can refer to them but we try tl map to a SC because the Conformance criteria are on the SCs

JOSH: +1 on AWK ... rewrite description, new title, relating to example with Form validation would be better

<Loretta> THe Understanding doc for a conformance criterion with techniques: http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html#uc-conforming-alt-versions-head

AWK: wary to map to 4.1.1 but could write failure techniques on messing up dom

JOSH: scr21 doesn't say why it is wrong to do the things it discourages

<Zakim> jamesn, you wanted to ask what is the problem with innerHTML?

<scribe> ACTION: David to connect with GOV of Canada regarding their objections to the discouraged parts of SCR21 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/04/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action02]

<scribe> ACTION:dmacdona : David to connect with GOV of Canada regarding their objections to the discouraged parts of SCR21 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/04/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action04]

James: nothing wrong with document.write... it is just old and clunky
... it seems to be a tuotial on scripting... no our role
... some people might look to us
... i don't know where we can assign this

RESOLUTION: leave open David will get back to us re GOV of Canada

move h87 to a general technique

<Jon_avila> http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.asp?QC=1165

John: put a tech support... 3rd paragraph explains why it was an issue prior to JAWS 8

the last few sentence about previous issue... requiring refresh

<Joshue> DMacD: General Techs tend to get ignored.

<Joshue> DMacD: They don't have the same profile. What do we do?

AWK: Yes we should work with EO on that

RESOLUTION: Accepted as proposed LC 2887

Comment LC-2892: Draft response

AWK: second option is generally accepted.... We could remove the technique

<Joshue> DMacD: But isn't it important to notify people of changes to the DOM?

<Joshue> <gives example>

<AWK> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F76.html

<Joshue> AWK: This is about changing the users context.

<Joshue> DMacD: But shouldn't it be required? Shouldn't we have a failure where they don't provide instructions for DOM changes?

<Joshue> AWK: The only thing thats different here is the notion of where the user location is.

<Joshue> AWK: Where can you put this, where it's not at a location that may be bypassed?

<Joshue> DMacD: What about ARIA?

<Joshue> AWK: Sure, but that's a different technique.

<Joshue> DMacD: I'd like to think this over.

<Joshue> AWK: This isn't about DOM changes, but changes in context.

JOHN: would like to have a failure for this DOM... rather have it more general than not at all

AWK: if success criteria says it do we need a failure

<Joshue> +q

AWK: my gut is we could leave it ope, or remove it for now, and come back faiure techniques

JOSH: should remove it

Jon: agree part of the title is not great... but if we remove failure we loose the test steps
... if we remove this are there any failures with test steps

JOSH: i don't find test steps useful

JON: my preference would be to improve test steps

<Joshue> DMacD: Sounds like we need a larger strategy.

<Joshue> DMacD: We need to review the way people are doing things now.

<Joshue> +q

<Joshue> -q

JON: might be able with describedby to modify... maybe reinstate...

<Joshue> +q

JON: would it be the same name or number

AWK: depends

JON: must weigh danger of leaving it with the what we lose if removed

AWK: Concerned it has a lot of problems

<scribe> ACTION: David and JON to look at rewriting technique in communication with AWK [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/04/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action05]
