<jongund> I am up for anything

<jongund> we have Zoom at Illinois

F2F Update

<jcraig> scribe: CurtBellew

JN: f2f. Based on a number of things that have come up we are cancelling the face to face
... Propose a virtual f2f
... 2 days rather than 3? Maybe 3 or 4 hours per day?

<aaronlev> is the webex working?

Sure, jcraig :)

I'm happy to share

<jcraig> +1 to F2F

<jcraig> (remote)

<MarkMccarthy> +1

<aaronlev> ok, i'm dumb

JN: timing of it? EArly is probably best
... Early helps with Europe timing
... 7am-11am West coast time?

Stefan: Will probably work

JN: Not ideal for Europe but it's probably the best we can.

Stephon => Stephan

JG: 2 days of ARIA and one day ofof APG?

JN: Sounds good
... Wherever TPAC 2021 is will most likely drive where we will have the next f2f
... a decision to be made later
... details about the virtual f2f once we have planned it out

New Issue Triage

<carmacleod> https://github.com/search?l=&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+repo%3Aw3c%2Faria+created%3A%3E%3D2020-03-05+repo%3Aw3c%2Faria+repo%3Aw3c%2Faccname+repo%3Aw3c%2Fcore-aam&type=Issues

JN: 'Move section on presentation role conflicts to “Handling Author Errors”'. Kind of agree . Anyone disagree?

MK: Not 100% sure what that is

jn: conceptually I agree with this

mk: a 1.3 thing.

jn: anyone disagree with 1.3?

cm: works for me

Sina: Is there a way to callout the most conflated things?

jn: no. We sometimes add notes when things might be confusing

Sina: discussion for later. With certain things we might be able to predict that things might be questioned for valid reasons. A nice editorial concept

mk: We will often put in the description of the pattern why you would use pattern A vs pattern B

jc: the reason we added none and the reason we have moved to using it more is that authors tend to associated it more to the idea of presentation elements

mk: so for clarity but not because the examples are wrong

jn: next one we have looked at

New PR Triage

Wide review comments with PRs

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22WR+comments%22+label%3A%22has+PR%22+-milestone%3A%22ARIA+1.3%22+

jn: we have one issue with a PR on the list
... waiting on myself to review it
... mk, were you going to review this?

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1207

mk: on my list

jn: that's the only one on that list.

Wide review comments without PRs

jn: 7 on this list

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22WR+comments%22+-label%3A%22has+PR%22+-milestone%3A%22ARIA+1.3%22+

jn: PR waiting for cb to review
... cb please review this

cb: will get on that

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1178

jn: 1178

mk: waiting on a PR
... by the end of the day tomorrow

jn: 1164. waiting on me
... hopefully get to that soon
... 1163

cm: this one is mine
... you had said that two sentences need combining. I've pasted some text.

jn: I'll take a look
... Mark says it looks good
... 1161
... assigned to jn and scott

joanie: 1163. looking at the second change . "user agent must use". Means we need to retest
... "user agent should" change would make this easier

<Zakim> joanie, you wanted to go back to 1163

jn: make the change from "should" to "must" in 1.3
... 1151. waiting on my unless someone else wants to volunteer
... just taking Brian's comments in to a PR

jg: I can try out 1151.

jn: assigned to jg

jc: jg when you're done you can assign me as a reviewer

jn: 1150
... so was looking at this but he's been super busy. He's the right person for this

Create property for repeated content

<carmacleod> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1044

jn: 1044 . Create property for repeated content
... things that are repeated across pages we want to a way to allow AT users to skip those in certain circumstances
... al came up with a PR suggesting a name

al: I'm still thinking of better names
... redundant may be the best word
... each page isn't necessarily repeated but it's redundant
... rather than saying aria-redundant=true we say something like aria-filtertype=redundant

jc: we even talked about more robust naming
... aria-filterable maybe. but values for that that allow for things like page header or page header etc
... gives a good idea as to why it's redundant rather than the fact that it is redundant

jg: landmarks are supposed to be used to identify headers and footers so how would this be different?

al: when I looked at the definition it didn't match

jn: headers and footers , you're really only intended to have one per site

jg: the name should indicate to the author. What does filter mean to the author. What are we asking them to decide?

mk: I agree with the sentiment. We do need to be very clear
... we're trying to enable someone to read a document without hearing excess information
... The idea is for the author to be able to create a reading experience and for the screen reader to be able to let the user know that the reading experience is available
... Propose the idea of a reading mode filter with these types in it

<Zakim> jamesn, you wanted to suggest that we could introduce something that allows someone to say that 2 elements are the same. I.e aria-reference=a on both elements

mk: reading mode filter, the screen reader could have flexibility

jn: I wanted to suggest potentially that we have something to say that two elements on the page are same thing
... some sort of a reference so that the AT could determine that they've already prestented it

mk: it's possible that an author would want both presented

jn: in that case they don't have to filter it

sina: a reference to something else does give more information but it makes it more difficult to implement
... before naming, can we discuss it holistically?

<jcraig> that's Sina I think, not me

sina: for me the concern is that browser and AT combo make decisions

thanks

jn: we have a q

<Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to mention the existing dpub role: doc-pullquote https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/#doc-pullquote

jc: we do have an existing doc roles that do sort of map
... the goal was to bring some of these in to the core spec
... one way we could do this is to bring in these sub-roles (chapter, pullquote) into the core aria spec and make them something that the AT could use to filter
... rather than filtering it out of the read all mode

mk: understanding what you're saying sina. if we have an ARIA property like this , any default reading methodology none of this filtering would occur
... only in read to end or something like that
... depends on whether an AT turns that option on by default

<jcraig> s/jc: before naming, /sina: before naming, /

mk: another thing AT could do is offer an indicator that something is being skipped

sina: JAWS already has complex filtering so we are just adding to that. giving authors more options for filtering is worrisome

al: the original proposal was for page header and page footer
... suggestion was that it might be more uses

mk: limiting it might make the decision

al: looked in to asking depub aria but that spec is no longer being worked on
... dont' remove the doc- from a role that exists

mk: adding them in depub and keeping them in the module might be better

al: yes but it looks like that spec won't be updated
... doc- does tell you that it's related to publishing

mk: what does it take to revive that spec?

<jcraig> https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aam-1.0/

jn: It takes people to do it and I'm not sure they have a charter

<Zakim> jcraig, you wanted to ask Aaron/Matt to give a little more context about the original use case considered for this. Was it Google Docs? and to say pullquote/doc-pullquote is an

jc: if we were to bring it in to the core spec the reason would be because we feel these roles would be more broadly applicable than just pub
... that implementation in webkit was trivial

al: we could expose the doc- prefix for the page header and footer

jc: the other thing I wanted to mention was the additional context that this is for page header and page footer.
... if we need to keep as doc pullquote , we could add doc pageheader
... it maps to the higher level roles
... we post a 1.1 for that document and say this role maps to this new sub-role

jn: I think that's correct and the fact that these AAMs are frozen is a bad thing
... we need somewhere to document changes
... continue talking about it on the next call?

<jcraig> I think I heard MichaelC say "it's in the ARIA charter" to continue updates to the DPUB docs... That's correct isn't it

al: yes. i'm happy with header and footer roles
