Re: Ra11y Matrix

I don’t feel strongly about the “A11y” part of the word, but I wonder if 'Ra11y' does a good job of representing the resource. Even if I know the a11y abbreviation, it is unclear what a Raccessibility Matrix would feature. I think we could be much simpler and just call it something like “Accessibility Roles Matrix” with an A11Y-Roles abbreviation. Just food for thought.

Re: "Ra11y Matrix"

While "a11y" is a common abbreviation *within* the field, it is very jargony and thus exclusive-cluby.

Also, in many fonts, one cannot distinguish between a-one-one-y and a-l-l-y ; that is, the number 1 or the lowercase letter L.
Also, "a11y" is hard for some people to process, including some people with certain cognitive disabilities.
(This lack of clarity is even more pronounced in "Ra11y" because it is like the word "rally".)

For these and other reasons, I think we do not want to use "a11y" in the name of a significant project, especially one intended for people who aren't accessibility insiders.

Less importantly, I think "Ra11y Matrix" doesn't communicate what it is. Maybe I'm missing something, but "Matrix" doesn't mean anything to me. I think it needs "Roles" in there.
<joke>maybe Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Guidance (ARRG)</joke>

I think it would be good to have a brainstorming session about this when people are up for it. (maybe "over drinks" in Austin in May?)
Usually when EOWG takes a little time to work together, we come up with a solution that really "sings" and fits well.

Note that the descriptions for the roles themselves might end up being very useful throughout W3C work, such as for "Silver" (next gen accessibility guidelines) -- so it'd be good to have a project title that's not limiting.

/me re-reads the minutes...

I see "just a working title for now and can finalize as project develops". I'd like to share my thoughts, yet am OK with Ra11y Matrix as a working title if others want to stick with that. I do hope we revisit before Ra11y Matrix gets ingrained.

Re: "We are in beta release now and by the week of the 16th we will do the full release (as currently planned and understood.) Then will need to do outreach."

Correction: We hope to have a revised/updated beta the week of 16 April. We hope to replace the existing site later in April -- although we might go into May to give people more time to get used to the new design in the beta.

Re: "Laura: I was curious why we have not announced the beta version. Did we decide we did not want to get that wide feedback?"

We announced it on 15 March:
* WAI IG e-mail: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2018JanMar/0275.html
* EOWG e-mail: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2018JanMar/0053.html
* Tweet: https://twitter.com/w3c_wai/status/974351936358158336

After we address known issues, we plan to do more announcements and promotion of the beta. Per above, that might be late the week of 16 April.
