<Kathy> meeting: Mobile A11Y TF

<Jan> scribe: Jan

<Kathy> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/66524/20140512_survey/results#xq16

Kathy: Over past few weeks we've been going over survey to see where the techs fit
... I want to get through next 5
... We are on num 15

15. Use simple navigation concepts with consistent interaction patterns

Detlev: Hard to define in a way that has a clear test....

Kathy: Is there anything around consistent nav patterns...
... that might be necessary for responsive design or mobile?

Detlev: Rephrase?

Kathy: Often with responsive desing, nav mechanisms do change.

Jan: Maybe this is a note on 3.2.3 to say it is ok if nav mechanisms change between responsive design

Kathy: Would orientation be a problem?

Detlev: No as long as same functions are available...multiple ways

Jon: If it's broken for everyone, then its not accessibility related
... Within that view, you need consistency
... Idea of conformance claim to just one responsive version

JAn: Can see a problem with that

Jon: I agree its an issue

Kathy: What is Alastair putting together?

Jon: A technique....I will put in a link

Detlev: Can I add...from evaluation methodologies mtg....
... Whether different versions are different.....EM group will say that different responsive design versions are NOT different versions...just different states

<jon_avila> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_a_script_load_toggle_for_feature_detection_libraries_to_provide_a_conforming_alternate_version

Detlev: Nomensa Alastair?

Jon: We decided to base on progressive enhancement, not responsive design
... So different, but it becomes a lot to test
... What are yoyu saying?

Detlev: Even the designer has catered for different versions with queries etc then those versions should be covered as states for the test

<jon_avila> scribe: jon_avila

<Detlev> 1+

kathy: summary of #15 is that we would map to 3.2.3 and 2.4.5. Put in mobile note on consistency within a viewport size. No new technique, we can incoporate into other techniques

<kathleen> +1

RESOLUTION: #15 is that we would map to 3.2.3 and 2.4.5. Put in mobile note on consistency within a viewport size. No new technique, we can incoporate into other techniques

#16 Allow users to interact with hardware device buttons.

kathy: some respondants say advisory and others say sufficient techniques

jan: discussion if this is UAAG crossover or not.

kathy: make a note in the technique about device buttons

detlev: May want to widen device buttons to include other input mechanisms such as shaking, etc. to dismiss or undo, some of these are device specific.

kathy: you're saying if the device allows a gesture or physical buttons then they should be supported?

detlev: not sure if we want to stop at button or include other potential input mechanisms. May need a refererence to IndieUI

jon_avila: concern over allow it to meet a SC without providing other types of access beyond just this gesture.

RESOLUTION: Advisory technique under 2.1.1

#17 ensure interface can be used with bluetooth keyboard.

kathleen: modify way it's word. If it's supported by the platform. Maybe changed bluetooth keyboard to input devices.

jan: also USB to go to connect USB.

kathy: ton of bluetooth devices that would get included - never ending stream including switch devices - alot to test.
... could add a mobile note to current keyboard techniques. Could be different devices based on what you have identified as accessibility supported.

detlev: set base level of accessibility support on a particular device with keyboard., theoreticaly example.

kathy: if we look at creating a new one or incorporating, what is preference?

jon_avila: g202 is a general keyboard technique that might be used.

kathy: any objections to adding to g202?

RESOLUTION: Add note to g202 about other external devices. Add in notes about support for device or bluetooth device.

#18 Add shortcuts to allow users to jump to sections of page.

kathleen: if it was advisory you should still pass, is that right?

kathy: either with a ST or AT

kathleen: we could show them how to do it but they won't necessarily have to, correct?

kathy: correct.
... already covered, perhaps app would be different. Could use app specific things like heading traits

jon_avila: keyboard shortcuts covered under advisory already as future link under 2.1.1.

<Detlev> fine

kathy: any objections to build out advisory technique

RESOLUTION: Advisory technique to 2.1.1

#19 Provide a way for users to change font.

jeanne: sounds like UAAG
... capabilities should part of browser and OS not developers responibility

jon_avila: concern over lack of support in current devices. Could perhaps be an advisory technique or best practice for current state -- it would be good if user agents did this -- but most mobile devices are not doing this.

<Detlev> Sone apps like Pocket allow this I think

kathy: could we point to UAAG and then say if device doesn't support it.

kathleen: are we talking about font size, color, font face, etc.

kathy: that's currently not listed.

<jeanne> UAAG 1.4.1 http://jspellman.github.io/UAAG/UAAG20/#sc_141

detlev: additional settings in apps are welcome to users with low vision because settings do not propogate.

kathy: if we were to re-write to incorporate what we mean?

kathleen: what is the benefit of font type.

kathy: people with dyslexia

tim: c22 is a technique that talking about using CSS to control presentation.
... c22 is advisory for 1.3.1

detlev: technique for native apps more than web apps?

tim: c22 is also advisory for 1.4.4.

jon_avila: put in c22, but also have a style switcher technique as a best practice or advisory, etc.

<Detlev> sounds good

kathy: propose advisory technique for 1.4.4 or 1.4.8 to adjust visual presentation on mobile

RESOLUTION: advisory technique for 1.4.4 or 1.4.8 to adjust visual presentation on mobile through a style switcher

#20 provide support for alternative mechanisms for devices that do not have or support a physical or equivalent keyboard

kathy: pick up next time.
... summarizing on wiki, meeting next week, no meeting on the 4th.

<Detlev> Bye

kathy: Thanks everybody
