<MarkS> Meeting: HTML Accessibility Task Force Media Sub-Group

Processing Media Accessibility User Requirements Comments

MarkS: Updated the document with things agreed upon to date. Cross referenced and identified a few we had either missed or are new.

<MarkS> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/comments/details?comment_id=375

MarkS: talked with christian and sylvia and agreed to keep the requirements on ecc in there, but did not make the section less vague.

janina: James thinks the section is too vague?

MarkS: No - the note after it.

janina: Do we even need that note? We don't need to propose solutions in a Note document like this.

MarkS: I like that solution
... there are items that have notes and items that do not. We don't need to be consistent by maintaining this note.

No objections.

RESOLUTION: Remove the note from ECC4

Next comment from James was 4.1 - KA1

<MarkS> http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/#def-focusable-element

He requested that we define unique focus object. We do not have a definition for it.

scribe: maybe point to something in UAAG.

janina: Lets point to their definition.

MarkS: The closest is "focusable element"
... maybe we should reword so our terminology is more consistent with the UAAG terminology.

janina: maybe ask UAAG people to recommend the right terminology.
... they submitted comments earlier. They should continue to be part of the process.
... we should not use focusable element - we are not necessarily talking about elements.

<MarkS> 4.1 [KA-1] Define "unique focus object"

ShaneM: This is not an unreasonable request.

janina: agreed. what kind of objects are we talking about?

MarkS: It is a general description for an interface that requires the concept of focus.

JF: It could be a slider, etc. a "widget". Controls.

janina: anything the user can select or interact with.

MarkS: We could expand it to talk about focusable element "where focusable elements are employed".

janina: are we only talkonig about elements? what about a scrollbar?
... the list of translations is probably an element. I am happy to say element if that covers things. But we may have to come back to this.

MarkS: we could say "where focusable elements are present".

janina: anything a user can interact with needs to be focusable.
... what if we list some examples? "any elements with which a user may interact"

JF: What if we list some examples? "Examples include..."

janina: We want to ensure that all objects are focusable.

JF: that is covered in KA-2

MarkS: We do have access to a definition of "user agent user interface"

JF: the problem is that you can script your own controls and we need to ensure those are accessible. that's the problem we are trying to solve.

MarkS: we could possibly combine some definitions.

janina: I like the idea of using definitions from the group who is supposed to be paying attention to this.

<MarkS> ACTION: MarkS to talk to UAWG RE Unique Focus Object [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/05/19-html-a11y-media-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-249 - Talk to uawg re unique focus object [on Mark Sadecki - due 2014-05-26].

<MarkS> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/comments/details?comment_id=450

<MarkS> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/MAUR_Comment_Processing#In_Progress

<MarkS> http://www.w3.org/TR/media-accessibility-reqs/#media-accessibility-checklist

MarkS: Combine the existing text and the suggested list.

janina: is the list comprehensive?

ShaneM: No - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't recommend that people use it.

MarkS: We could omit the word "directly"...

RESOLUTION: Add the text from from comment 450 to the intro to section 1.

<MarkS> http://www.w3.org/TR/media-accessibility-reqs/#DV-7

Commenter asks what "provider" means.

MarkS: We dont use that term anywhere else. I think we meant "user".

ShaneM: Agree we should say user, but note that it is the exact opposite of what it says now.

RESOLUTION: Change the term "provider" to "user" in DV-7.

Next comment was about pointing to external examples.

MarkS: Two links were broken already. And it may look dated in the future.

janina: he's correct. we should not be pointing to 404s

MarkS: we don't even need to point to examples. The document defines what success is.

janina: we do plan on having a resource with good examples

JF: a good example at WGBH. Maybe we can get access to that.

janina: we have interest from lots of places about this. not worried about it.

A wiki that demonstrates solutions for each item would be a good resource but we would need to maintain it.

<JF> NCAM example here: http://ncamftp.wgbh.org/rd/quadratic/

<MarkS> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13437

Is this a 5.0 or a 5.1 issue?

JF: this is more about author education. it might need to be 5.1

janina: 5.1 is acceptable.

MarkS: I am happy with that.

janina: and btw 5.1 is not that far in the future
... 5.1 goes to last call in q4

let's defer this so we can work on use cases.

Update on Bug 13437 from John

TV & Web: Use Cases and Requirements

MarkS: we need to get any use cases submitted by the end of the month.
... we need a strategy and then should work via email over the next 11 days.
... They have said the would welcome both updated version 1 use cases and new ones.

<MarkS> http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Media_APIs/Use_Cases

<MarkS> http://www.w3.org/2014/05/07-html-a11y-media-minutes.html

JF: I could take on the first four.

janina: the comments are pretty much the same on all of them.

MarkS: I can take the comments on the first 7 and turn them into comments.

JF: I can take on 8-12

janina: I will look for new ones

We will meet on Tuesday, May 27
