<allanj> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/81151/LVTF18Jan2016/

My pleasure, Shawn.

<shawn> Shawn fixes typos Laura noted in https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/81151/LVTF18Jan2016/results

<JohnRochford> Am trying to join by phone, not by WebEx

<JohnRochford> Trying WebEx now

<JohnRochford> "Join" button is uninvokable

<Srini> Jim/Andrew, does survey requires me to login using username / password? never got to see for WCAG survey... or am I on a wrong link? I just clicked in Jim's email

<Srini> Okay. let me try. thanks,

<Srini> I'll be sure for next week.

<scribe> Scribe: Laura

<allanj> Open item 1

1. Size of All Elements

Jim: Good comment on ig list: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2016JanMar/0081.html

<Srini> +1 to you Andrew. Seperating would be useful.

Jim: Keeping separate makes sense. different responsibilities.

Shawn: This doc user needs.

AWK: We are just focusing on requirement.

<shawn> ... reminder that for this doc, we just focus on user needs. in separate doc we will look at responsibilities of OS, UA, content, etc.

Jim: any objections for keeping together?

none

<shawn> [ Shawn has her text cursor bigger from OS setting ]

<shawn> +1 for keeping these user requirements in one point

Wayne: leave this group together.

2. Seeing All Interface Elements

RESOLUTION: Size of All Elements Keep Together

<allanj> +1 to being broad for flexible text area

Shawn: I fixed the typos.

AWK: How to determine what users are to see?

Shawn: overlapping content.

AWK: Feels like a different problem.
... may be a tracking issue.

John: Thinks of it at a recognition issue.

<shawn> https://www.w3.org/WAI/images/easychecks/zoom-overlap.png

Shawn: screenshot is beyond tracking.

AWK: Not a perfect fit.
... Likes that it is included in user settings.

<allanj> seems to be a definition issue. Seeing yes you can see it. But is it understandable. Perhaps define seeing as ability to perceive and comprehend

<shawn> content adapat in a non-desctrtive way VS. interface elements are available

<shawn> poor adaptability

AWK: Maybechange the title of the section to Adaptability

<JohnRochford> Clarification: JohnR (not necessarily JohnA) thinks of it as a recognition issue

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/81151/LVTF18Jan2016/results#xseeall

Shawn: user need is that they can see everything.

<shawn> http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html#seeing-all-interface-elements

Shawn: happy to think about it more

<jon_avila_> * thanks

Wayne: Have to be careful of using the word “Zoom”

<jon_avila_> +1

Wayne: Enlarging text is something else.

<JohnRochford> +1

<shawn> ACTION: Shawn think about 3.7.1 Seeing All Interface Elements with Andrew and others input from 20 Jan telecon [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-lvtf-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-25 - Think about 3.7.1 seeing all interface elements with andrew and others input from 20 jan telecon [on Shawn Henry - due 2016-01-27].

Wayne: People are very confused about it.

Jim: Maybe we should define terms.

<allanj> ACTION: jim to create list of other definitions we might need/use [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-lvtf-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-26 - Create list of other definitions we might need/use [on Jim Allan - due 2016-01-27].

<shawn> ACTION: Shawn think about explaining zoom verses increase text (e-mail thread) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-lvtf-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-27 - Think about explaining zoom verses increase text (e-mail thread) [on Shawn Henry - due 2016-01-27].

3. Proportional text increase

<shawn> http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html#proportional-text-increase

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/81151/LVTF18Jan2016/results#xproprtnl

<shawn> [ I also have examples of this at http://www.tader.info/element-level.html :-]

Jim: I thought of it as a combination.
... everything should zoom the way it needs too.

Wayne: I think we need to call that out.

Shawn: Would some users not want to increase proportionately?

John: A better example would be 4 times the size.

<JohnRochford> Laura, I suggest you use JohnR and JohnA.

<JohnRochford> Sorry, just noticed spelling difference

AWK: can achieve with personal perference

Shawn: Don’t think we need this separate point.

<shawn> +1 to not needing 3.5.2 Proportional text increase because the user need is adequately covered by 3.5.1 Element-level customization and Zoom would provide proportional zoom. and Text size lets the user text an overall text size.

Wayne: not just headings need adjustments. Spacings zoom.

<shawn> ACTION: Shawn think about spacing resizing, e.g., ems for spacing [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-lvtf-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-28 - Think about spacing resizing, e.g., ems for spacing [on Shawn Henry - due 2016-01-27].

Wayne: okay to combine 3.5.2 and 3.5.1

No other comments

RESOLUTION: 352 is adequately covered. Don’t need separate point.

4. Margins and Borders

<shawn> http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html#margins-and-borders

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/81151/LVTF18Jan2016/results#xmrgnbrdr

<allanj> +1 keep together

Jim: Keeping together makes sense.

JonA: seems separate.

Shawn reads text.

AWK: Did you move these around?

Shawn: yes.

AWK: Hard to split them out.

Shawn: good point.

<allanj> awk: sees margins and borders as element identification, rather than spacing for reading.

JonA: separate one block of text from another. Usability issue.

Shawn: overlap
... more of a readability issue.

AWK: Should these 2 things be combined?
... As long as the 2 things exist we should be okay.

Wayne: does fall under element level.
... 2 people may want to call things out in different ways.

Jim: 3.4 is a result of 3.5

Shawn: Question in an ideal world should ewe be able to say to 3em around all blocks of text?

JonA: thinks it falls under both.

<allanj> 3.4 could have easier user interface, where 3.5.1 could be editing css. ease of use issue.

Wayne: Problem today, we can’t write the AT.
... Wayne: target is to hard to hit.

<shawn> [ Wayne : took me 2 weeks to get a gmail style sheet ]

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to say that's the issue - readability VS identifying elements

Shawn: 2 different issues.

<allanj> readability vs identifying elements, could be both

<shawn> ACTION: Shawn 3.4.5 Margins and Borders - clarify readability issue (John's point in 20 Jan telecon) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-lvtf-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-29 - 3.4.5 margins and borders - clarify readability issue (john's point in 20 jan telecon) [on Shawn Henry - due 2016-01-27].

AWK: adjust the language and leave in the same place.

<shawn> +1 for leaving it as a separate point in readbility section (and leaving it as subpoint in identifying elements) and making more clear how it relates to readability

Jim: belongs in both places.
... More questions in the survey.
... will bring to the list.

Shawn: maybe leave the survey open.

Jim: Okay. Thant works.

<shawn> thanks, all -- good discussion!!!
