- worked through 5 tests in the test suite
- 21:09:31 [Ben]
- issue: does the language of the test need to be the same as success criteria? (ex. when SC text is long, can we say something shorter and define in text -- "decorative")

- lgr difficult b/c have normative guideliens and non-normative guidelines
- 21:17:57 [wendy]
- lgr certainly true of non-norm techs
- 21:18:08 [wendy]
- gv will be overcomplete - some techs don't have to do
- 21:18:12 [wendy]
- lgr or techs that aren't in there that are ok
- 21:18:23 [wendy]
- lgr this kind of statement in techs makes sense
- 21:18:29 [wendy]
- gv olivier was talking about test suites
- 21:18:43 [wendy]
- gv maybe premature if looking at our initial test suites
- 21:18:47 [wendy]
- lgr the test suites will be complete
- 21:19:38 [wendy]
- gv part of the question is, are we talking about guidelines document (it can't make specific reference to the test suite if non-normative)
- 21:19:43 [wendy]
- ack john
- 21:19:56 [wendy]
- js since the checklist is non-normative, a disclaimer ala olivier may be relevant
- 21:20:11 [wendy]
- gv we use his exactly, b/c his refers to tests
- 21:21:25 [gregg]
- ack da
- 21:21:49 [wendy]
- dmd in each SC, we say "learn how to do this" could we link to tests?
- 21:21:51 [wendy]
- gv that seems to be ok, it's "for more info"
- 21:22:02 [wendy]
- gv worry that those are in the normative section and in a normative color
- 21:22:19 [wendy]
- gv not sure how to pu non-normative info in the normative section.

- 21:23:45 [wendy]
- ack ben
- 21:24:00 [wendy]
- bc issue of explicitly identifying comments of what's normative or not, QA has advice on how to do
- 21:24:09 [wendy]
- bc jenae added an issue. we have a separate issue related to.
- 21:24:11 [wendy]
- ack wendy
- 21:24:11 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to say "other groups use of test suites and disclaimers"
- 21:25:25 [wendy]

- 21:28:07 [wendy]
- s/recommendation/suggestion
- 21:28:19 [wendy]
- should benefits only be about pwd or mention how benefits all users?
- 21:28:36 [wendy]
- gv other people have suggested that we add more info about benefits to mass market
- 21:28:41 [Andi]
- q+
- 21:28:43 [wendy]
- gv it would help promote use of the guidelines
- 21:29:27 [wendy]
- gv if there is good but non-obvious issue, seems good to add. but to add after every guideline how benefits everyone, it if is obvious, will unneccessarily increase length
- 21:29:50 [wendy]
- gv perhaps reject this one (more obvious), but don't create blanket policy to reject all benefits to mass market
- 21:29:52 [wendy]
- ack andi
- 21:30:09 [wendy]
- asw helping to promote adoption of the guidelines is a good idea, but doesn't belong in guidelines themselves (belongs in EOWG)

- gv we have # of guidelines that say programmatically determinable that means an AT could do what it wants (present in sign language). at level 2, often say "programmatically" say should be done by default. no where do we say provide in sign language on the page.
- 21:39:35 [wendy]

- asw agreeing w/loretta, going to UA side. signing avatar - could it use accessible content?
- 21:41:15 [wendy]
- gv not today, but soon.
- 21:42:08 [wendy]
- asw don't think we should put success criteria that say provide in sign language. don't have anything about poviding error msg in audio, assume someone has screen reader.
- 21:42:25 [wendy]
- asw however, good to put in the examples to help people understand how people who are deaf can use.

- 21:44:10 [wendy]
- sometimes, people who are deaf have poor reading skills. a written language is their second language
- 21:44:16 [wendy]
- ack john
- 21:44:47 [wendy]
- js my understanding, in order to enable signing avatar, it's something that the developer has to do to enable signing avatars. there is a user agent compoentne and something on the server.
- 21:44:55 [wendy]
- gv that is proprietary signing avatars.
- 21:45:08 [wendy]
- gv it's like braille, you can hide braille code in content for a braille printer
- 21:46:16 [wendy]
- jw if required, we woiuld be requiring people to provide interpretation of content (or similar to requiring translation into another language)
- 21:47:37 [Kesh]
- providing a signing avatar on each is beyond what we would be requiring
- 21:47:54 [Kesh]
- it would be good, however, would be to include an example .... gv.
- 21:48:05 [wendy]
- gv resolution something like: requirement for text for any audio already included (1.1), providing a signing avatar on each page is beyond what we could require. it would be good to include an example someplace (although we don't have a guideline to provide an example for)
- 21:48:07 [Kesh]
- wendy, want me to take notes from here?

- 21:48:54 [Kesh]
- gv: making sure the information is there so that AT can provide a signing avatar IS within the guidelines and we should provide an example of that.
- 21:49:00 [Kesh]
- text being presented as sign-language
- 21:49:06 [wendy]
- q+ to say "recommend invite RNID to call and discuss"
- 21:49:08 [Kesh]
- gv: does that sound like a good resolution?
- 21:49:09 [wendy]
- ack andi
- 21:49:17 [Kesh]
- andi: does not have to be an example, but could be a benefit
- 21:49:33 [Kesh]
- andi: 1.1 would be best place, benefit for blind and deaf with examples of how
- 21:50:08 [Kesh]
- wendy: fine for this issue - but larger picture, might be good to include people from RNID to ensure we are addressing their concern -- more dialog with them as a group
- 21:50:31 [Kesh]
- gv: good for us to stack these up and walk through the whole thing
- 21:50:39 [Kesh]
- gv: excellent suggestion, Wendy
- 21:50:45 [gregg]
- ack wendy
- 21:50:45 [Zakim]

- 21:50:55 [wendy]
- action: wendy in response to RNID, suggest telecon w/them
- 21:50:56 [Kesh]
- wendy: assigning an action item to follow up and get con-call with RNID.
- 21:51:13 [Kesh]
- action: andi write the example for 1.1
- 21:51:29 [wendy]

- gv: proposed resolution in issue summary: david recommends we close because this is clear in example #1.
- 21:52:41 [Kesh]
- gv: suggestion is that the example is not clear
- 21:52:45 [Kesh]
- gv: david says it is
- 21:53:26 [Kesh]
- gv: guideline 1.4, example 1: <reads example>
- 21:54:51 [Kesh]
- js: he is talking about the example cover a lot of different bases.
- 21:55:01 [Kesh]
- gv: "why leave implicit?"
- 21:55:12 [Kesh]
- gv: means "make it explicit."
- 21:55:20 [Kesh]
- confusion .....
- 21:55:51 [Kesh]
- wendy: this is from old example,
- 21:56:00 [Kesh]
- david: I mention that in the next comment
- 21:56:11 [Kesh]
- andi: says it's against the Jul 30th draft
- 21:56:49 [Kesh]
- wendy: his comments are on the old draft.
- 21:57:00 [Kesh]
- gv: example in the nov draft is the same as july draft.
- 21:57:05 [Kesh]
- andi sees the same
- 21:57:52 [Kesh]
- gv: this is example is light on dark, so why not have another example of dark on light
- 21:58:05 [Kesh]
- gv: the answer is that this is an example, and we don't need to have one of everything
- 21:58:24 [Kesh]
- wendy: this is a totally different example .... reads guideline 1.1 ...
- 21:58:27 [Kesh]
- gv: we are on 1.4
- 21:58:37 [Kesh]
- gv: contrast
- 21:59:03 [Kesh]
- no worries ...
- 21:59:26 [Kesh]
- gv: is our guideline clear that either way works, and just the example is one way or the other ....
- 21:59:31 [Kesh]
- queue =kesh
- 21:59:36 [Kesh]
- q+ kesh
- 22:00:45 [Kesh]
- gv: we don't say anywhere that it doesn't really matter whether the background or text is the lighter or darker.
- 22:00:56 [wendy]
- q+
- 22:01:06 [Kesh]
- gv: someplace in the guidelines we add a parenthetical comment about how either can be the lighter or darker
- 22:01:16 [Kesh]
- gv: for sound, it is specific
- 22:01:29 [Ben]
- gv's proposal - 1.4, level 2, item 1 would read:
- 22:01:30 [Kesh]
- gv: in that case, the quieter thing should be background, but for text, it can be either
- 22:01:31 [Ben]
- Text and diagrams that are presented over a background image, color, or text have a contrast greater than X1 where the whiter element (foreground or background) is at least Y1 as measured by _____. [V]

- ack wendy
- 22:02:28 [Kesh]
- wendy: concerned that we are not addressing his issue --
- 22:03:07 [Kesh]
- wendy: I propose that if you want to propose that we change the guideline that you post it to the list.
- 22:03:33 [Kesh]
- gv: his problem is that we are only addressing dark on light, and that there is an implication that light on dark is allowed.
- 22:03:52 [Kesh]
- wendy: but why not just add further examples to illustrate this, as opposed to changing the SC.
- 22:04:40 [Kesh]
- wendy: but why not just further examples
- 22:05:01 [Kesh]
- becky: I don't think the sc needs to be changed, because I assume it could be either.
- 22:05:08 [Kesh]
- gv: why not just make it clear in the sc, thena/
- 22:05:29 [Kesh]
- gv: I would hate to see adding a whole other example that is exactly the same as this but upside down
- 22:05:41 [Kesh]
- gv: anyone want the action item?
- 22:05:51 [Kesh]
- action: david can come up with a way to add to the example
- 22:06:21 [wendy]
- action 4 = david either propose new example or modify existing example for guideline 1.4 to address issue 1038
- 22:06:44 [Kesh]
- wendy, you're so good at that! ;-)
- 22:07:06 [wendy]
- the image could similarly light letters on a dark background
- 22:07:13 [Kesh]
- js: the image could similarly be light letters on a dark background
- 22:07:45 [Kesh]
- david: image is not the right word
- 22:08:02 [Kesh]

- A section of code that responds to an action taken by the user (or user agent). On Web pages, events are usually user actions such as moving the mouse, typing, etc. An event handler determines the response to that action. A technology specific event handler only responds to an action by one kind of input device. An abstract event handler is one which can be activated by a variety of...

- event handler
- 22:16:16 [wendy]
