… Don’t need to specify where

Under 3.4.1.2 Development category of proof points, the examples of “Accessible developer implementation resources” seem more about information. Where might you consider software and hardware tools that help with accessible development, such as access to screen readers or switches?

<CharlesL> w3c/maturity-model#163

CharlesL: Found original email.

CharlesL: Fist question – design process makes sense for large organization. How frame for small org. Is there a way forward even if team only has 3 member?

Fazio: Not the size of the time. May affect recourses but nothing is prohibitive. Okay to stay at level of maturity. I would leave it there as an option. Not punitive. Publishing is up to you.

<CharlesL> 1 Under 3.4.1.2 Development category of proof points, the examples of “Accessible developer implementation resources” seem more about information. Where might you consider software and hardware tools that help with accessible development, such as access to screen readers or switches?

CharlesL: Question 2 – 3.4.1.2 proof points. Accessible dev resource is about information. Where would you consider tools that help for dev. Ie. screen readers and switches.

jlkline: Recourses is broad term – human, training, tools. That’s maybe how we want to answer. Not specific but devs should have all recourses needed.

SusiPallero: Even if not formal you have a process. You’re always running the same task – may apply even if the team is not huge. Write it to be clear that it applies sot regular activities.

CharlesL: Call out that it could work for sm orgs

jlkline: Sm org man not have process. Its about consistency and that is a process and they could claim. Ie. design reviews every time.

CharlesL: Question 3 – resources – hardware tools was answered.

Continue with Susanna’s updates to Support Dimension https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-maturity/2023Apr/0013.html

<Lionel> Zakinthos, who’s here

Lionel: Have a meeting – stacy and David – look at stakeholders and how we can specify – will schedule for next week.

Fazio: Ideal of what roles might play – whose responsibilities – how may be responsible – examples. What possibility could be. From Jean.

jlkline: Simplify – don’t get granular – talk about stakeholder – not roles but stakeholder organization.

Fazio: Prefer to complete then edit down

Fazio: We’ll have two versions of the doc – have choices.

<SusiPallero> My apologies but I have to go look for my daughter. I will be sending the updated version of the document so you can take a look.

Fazio: I’ll get with Sherry
