My name was not mentioned in "Regrets", though I had mentioned being unavailable in the availability survey. Not sure that whether it even matters, but felt like asking. :)

Responder Accessibility and Inclusion: Requirements AnalysisComments
Andrew Arch
  • I accept it as is.
Sharron Rush
  • I accept it as is.
I am happy to accept the requirements as stated but am still unconvinced of the need and audience of this resource. Given that others do see the need for it, this seems like a good framework.
Brent Bakken
  • I accept it as is.
James Green
  • I am not comfortable with it for the following reasons.
I don't see our "new direction" in this document - I think it's important that the requirements reflect the goal of creating a different kind of resource without walls of text, high readability, etc. There is a limited set of people (crossing most personas/audiences) that will even want to start reading something that's just text, especially given our current website design.

Simple solution: add a goal under each audience that specifies the actions that will lead to this "new direction"
Complex solution: use personas instead of audiences and in those personas, clarify the type of content those people will respond positively and negatively to.
Howard Kramer
  • I accept it as is.
Eric Eggert

[Likely not getting to it, sorry.]
Denis Boudreau

Responder Accessibility and Inclusion: Updated DraftComments
Andrew Arch
  • I like the document; however, I suggest the changes in GiHhub or in the Comments section below - for editors' discretion.
Scope of inclusion should mention people from diverse cultural backgrounds as well as speaking/reading other languages (and hence possibly low literacy in the sites primary language)

Is it worth mentioning that prototyping in HTML enable a broader range of PWD to be involved in the usability testing?
Sharron Rush
  • I like the document; however, I suggest the changes in GiHhub or in the Comments section below - for editors' discretion.
*Much* improved, still needs streamlining to avoid the wall of text effect, a few suggestions in GitHub.
Brent Bakken
  • I won't like the document unless the comments in GitHub or the Comments section below are addressed.
I think that this document has good information in it, but can't we find a way to present this graphically as well. Venn diagram showing differences and overlap. Other images and icons. We have to make these resources more current looking or most people are going to glaze over and ignore.
James Green
  • I won't like the document unless the comments in GitHub or the Comments section below are addressed.
I can tell this took a lot of work and there is valuable information included, but I am sad to say that it needs a lot of work.

It does use shorter paragraphs with headings (which is good) but still needs visuals. And more importantly, I think it misses the mark we discussed Friday. I could see academics linking to this, but not your average interested party. It needs simple, succinct language to motivate users to stick with it.

Currently, this resource has a Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease score of 15.2 (well into college graduate level language) and an average grade level (among 5 different formulas) of 16.5. I ran those tests against a few other WAI pages and never got anything below grade 14. To me, this resource is definitely consistent with what we have, but I don't think it represents where we want to be when it comes to developing new resources going forward....

I did not have time to provide comments, so abstaining for now. I can't say that I like the document, and will have comments/proposals to contribute in the near future.
