<scribe> scribe: fesch

aira-describedat

<richardschwerdtfeger> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591737

rs: Mozilla has bug for describedat
... followup meeting with MS (CS on vacation)

<clown> s/bug for desribedat/bug for details-summary/

rs: details and summary approach - like it because it works for everyone
... we need to provide metadata on what the description is for... hinges on detail/summary approach - which Apple likes...
... like that it could be used for alternate types of info like a chart
... what we need to do - is make it discoverable - maybe use a div style... to let you know there is more info... how to make a button appear? - use a media query
... Apple uses media queries, then you could choose to make the button visible, easier for publishers too
... meeting next week with microsoft, to see what issues they have with it

<MichaelC> Extended Description Analysis

<Zakim> clown, you wanted to ask for the url to the describeat requirements document.

mc: walking through extended description analysis
... extended description analysis provides info that we can use to compare approaches

<Jemma_JaEun_Ku> me/great job, Michael

rs & mc: discuss tweaking info in the tables

jw: in favor of working further on details and media query, use work done by IndieUI group,

<clown> Jason's email: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Aug/0055.html

jw: when there is data provided for accessibility, then we could identify the controls as an accessibility controls -

rs: please respond to Jason on the list

jw: you can define a new media feature though JavaScript, and can define different kinds of media queries ... see email

Charter Status

js: Two formal objections against ARIA charter draft
... Judy is trying to negotiate a resolution, PF charter extended into October
... other impact - TPAC has been set up as PF function, 4 days, first two days (Monday, Tuesday) scheduled for ARIA work
... APA work set for Thursday and Friday

Test harness - next steps

mc; question on getting test harness working and getting test cases

rs: we should talk about exit criteria

mc: need clear list of things changed from AR?IA 1.0

rs: we now have native host language semantics in HTML, now don't need explicit role -

mc: maybe we need divs and spans...

rs: maybe we need both, we could put role=grid on a table

mc: think aria semantics need to stand on it's own, if we need to test with HTML semantics...

clown: which specs are we testing?

MC: don't want confounding to happen in testing

<clown> http://clown.idrc.ocad.ca/Fluid/aria/FocusableRowGroup.html

rs: if we have SVG we will need special test cases for that also

clown: can we test SVG?

rs: we are still working on the vocuabulary
... maybe we can call it HTML testing...

<Jemma_JaEun_Ku> +q

rs: may change with the new graphics module as it may have native mappings

jk: do we have any documentation on the testing?

<MichaelC> PF Test Harness

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1699

<MichaelC> ARIA 1.0 test plan

RESOLUTION: Action 1699 complete

<richardschwerdtfeger> RESOLUTION: Issue 694 is closed

clown: any issues to mapping spec?

several: no

<clown> action-1700

<trackbot> action-1700 -- Joanmarie Diggs to Modify the aria spec. to reflect the changed text of the second paragraph for aria-current -- due 2015-08-13 -- CLOSED

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1700

RESOLUTION: ACTION 1700 closed and ISSUE 716 is resolved

<clown> issue-736?

<trackbot> issue-736 -- aria-label overriding listitem and treeitem content when need to know content is valuable -- open

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/736

rs: folks are putting an aria-label on list items and tree items - Freedom Scientific created a bug because list item is a container
... the AT is hearing the aria-label but not hearing that there is more content

clown: my tests show that the content are is the accessibility tree

jd: list item - that are not widgets - orca ignores name

clown: it's crazy that a non interactive list items have a niame
... if the author doesn't supply the name, it goes into the content and makes ridiculously long names

jd: is an ARIA problem - in that we ask authors to provide names
... why are authors providing a name

rs: maybe it is too long

jd: paragraphs don't have names

rs: people are getting poor advice from their accessibility experts

js: a screen reader can resolve a name...

jd: what you are saying, folks are doing bad things, so the AT are reacting to bad things...

rs: designers like to put really hefty things in a list item (links, text...)

<clown> <span role="listitem">See <a href="http://www.ibm.com">IBM's home page</a></span>

jd: how is that different than a paragraph

rs: a screen reader is trying to zip through the list...
... people are using a listitem as a widget

<clown> https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#option

rs: people are putting more content in the element than you would expect, how do we tell the AT they should go into those

fe: are they using them like twisties?

rs: kinda like that...

clown: this is just like a paragraph, I don't see why the AT can't look in there - it is in the accessibility tree

jd: orca assumes....

rs: is there something we should be doing to tell AT to drill down?

bg: I saw something like this yesterday, and it is really annoying
... I don't see why you would have things inside a list box

<clown> http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-option-element

rs: what I am finding today is - that they only look at the visible page

js: do we need the authoring guide to deal with this?

rs: do we want to do anything with this at this point?

clown: depneds or role, not sure
... options don't allow anything but text

rs: are you saying the browser will not render it?
... people use role= option not the HTML element, ans the HTML element is too restricutive

<clown> https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#option

rs: do you want to take it to the authoring practices group?

clown: we should review the requirement for an accessible name on a listitem
... don't think listitem should require a name

<clown> https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#listitem

rs: what id the definition of Accessible Name Requried

<clown> http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/

clown: would like to remove requirement for name

jd: cool with not requiring a name

<Jemma_JaEun_Ku> In regards to Authouring practice TF meeting, we have a meeting next week. Meetings for last two weeks were cancelled. We are waiting for Matt to come back and to chair meetings

rs: should we remove name from content? lets look at this next week
