New Issue Triage 🐞

<jamesn> https://github.com/search?l=&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+repo%3Aw3c%2Faria+created%3A%3E%3D2020-01-09+repo%3Aw3c%2Faria+repo%3Aw3c%2Faccname+repo%3Aw3c%2Fcore-aam&type=Issues

8 new issues

first one: gridcell 1155

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1155

James: this should be changed
... should we believe aaron hereß
... clarification needed in spec?

aaon: pr for core aam would be good

James: can you do it?
... should be moved to core aam spec?

joanie: ok

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1153

next: 1153

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1153

James: i need more approvals for that

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1154

James.. any objections?

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1152

MichaelC: I take a look and approve if ok

James: please look at it .. 1.3 issue perhaps
... my interpretation is "it depends on situation"

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1151

James: i agree with that, 1.2 or 1.3 address?
... we need to test for it instead only implying it

joanie: if it passes I am ok with it

James: in case of no pass, move to 1.3

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1150

James: this is written for DOM 4

joanie: ask him for annother PR?

Matt: talking about decendants means DOM descendants in the past
... eg grid with custom element .. can never shadow DOM .. does that mean shadow dom is separate tree or descendant of grid

james: this is probably not the question here
... we need to say what we mean with "descendant"
... can we do in 1.2? claifying?
... i hope we can find somebody

joanie: somebody could triage it

James: any volunteers?

<pkra> 94 " descendant"

<Jemma> How about asking Wilco to help us to give more info about different trees?

joanie: there are not many descendat variants

<Jemma> definition of each trees, " light DOM tree, shadow DOM trees, the flat tree, and the accessibility tree"

scot has self-assigned him to this

james: let's start with desendant and expand from there

Matt: there are two ways to own, we need revise def for owned by

Scott O'Hara has self-assigned to this

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1135

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1135

james: no discussions here

<jamesn> https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/aria/pull/1135.html#comment

james: are there controversial partsß

aaron: relationship to other content, relations of comments to comments
... you can use aria-level for this

jon: are comments self-commenting?

aaron: we are not too specific about that

joanie: we can do this in authoring practices

aaron: nobody had spec. features in mind

jon: what does screen reader do with this?

aaron: its in aria-annotations explainer and brainstroming document

<aaronlev> https://github.com/aleventhal/aria-annotations

<aaronlev> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYrsHDk6Y9071A1fRg8g8NZ_DtGYraX5BcVY-taBzMQ/edit?ts=5e1cbd7d#

aaron: we want to be able to navigate by comment
... navigate comment tree in general
... like Jaws dialog for articles

<Jemma> https://github.com/aleventhal/aria-annotations#example----comments-on-a-specific-piece-of-content

aaron: aria-details may point to the comment

jon: it seems to be reverse computed

aaaron: detail reverse relationship is computed by the browser

aaron: multiple things can point to same comment
... screen reader can store cell pointers

<tzviya> https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/

aaron: diff between footnotes and comment are that comments may bee in a side bar

tzviya: footnotes are part of pub and may not use annotations

aaron: for footnotes use aria-details on footnote number

Scott: is there expectation that authors use that in blog posts?
... blog post that allows for user comments, should they be wrapped in comments role?

aaron: yes this is a good idea

james: annotation on entire blog post?

aaron: yes, basically

Sina: is there a grouping methodology?

aaron: for replies rec. is top comment available, use descendant comments

Sina: neither is approppriate
... how to group siblings

aaron: answer must be in comments section .. wait .. there is no clean way of doing that yet

Sina: it is common to have 500 comments on L1

aaron: we're expection aria-level to be used
... aria-details can point to any container

Sina: we can have separate comment trees on one page

aaron: we can group them separately
... regarding efficiency, we will add more collection apis

Matt: grouping thing, for usecases we have we can do it with roles we have
... is name from prohibiting, why?

aaron: I don't remember

Matt: pertains more to blog than docs use case
... names would be strongly reccommended in blogs but it is not required yet

aaron: would nacc name overwrite contents?

Matt: no because provided by author

aaron: have to check, that's error

Matt: we have aria-level but not posinset

aaron: must list as supported properties

Matt: blog use case we can do in May
... when you add new comment you augment aria-details value of blog article itself

james: what about spec.content on page?

Matt: we need to ajust language to account to blog use case
... if entire post is article and descendants may cause issues

aaron: you can use aria-details to point to something inside of you

james: Matt: can you review it for facebook use case and put comments into PR?

Matt: ok

<Zakim> joanie, you wanted to say something about the name overwriting contents

james: until next week would be perfect

joanie: screen reader sometimes ignore name for containers
... hope that does not happen here
... for comment

Matt: articles, regions support names
... and content is separated from that, they are more than just text containers
... should for comments the same as for articles
... extra hotkeys for comments in screen readers, why?

Sina: we need them

Matt: footnotes and articles and comments are different roles
... it will have authoring practices when this comes out

feat: aria-braillelabel β ƒβ —β ‡

jon: thats a parallel labelling system

<pkra> can you hear me?

<pkra> damn it webex.

<pkra> nevermind thn.

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/923

<pkra> Not really.

<pkra> :(

<pkra> It's complicated.

<pkra> sorry.

<Matt_King> no, it should not be part of name calc

james: should it be part of labelling calculation?

<pkra> I think "no"

<pkra> but there's something to talk about.

<pkra> both.

james: agenda for next week

on* agenda

<pkra> thanks.
