21:07:01 [Zakim]
agendum 3. "Brief Intro to Checklist Format" taken up [from wendy]
21:07:08 [wendy]
scribe: wendy
21:07:15 [wendy]
starting with TTF summary
21:08:13 [wendy]
mc: discussed the question, "must you follow our techniques/tests to conform?" if that's teh case, then we'd have to provide techs/tests for variety of technologies and be able to address changes quickly and deal w/internaional landscape.
21:08:32 [Zakim]
+Becky_Gibson
21:08:36 [wendy]
mc: therefore, difficult to do however if don't, people may take greater license than we'd intended.
21:08:46 [wendy]
mc: still working on requirements. starting to gel.
21:09:00 [wendy]
mc: requirements include checklists, general techs, test cases, techniques
21:09:07 [wendy]
mc: starting to speed up process of reviewing test cases.
21:09:18 [wendy]
mc: need to be able to approve test cases.
21:09:37 [wendy]
mc: a test case required for conformance (just for html at this time), means that content would have to follow test cases.
21:09:55 [wendy]
mc: decided that there are some test cases we feel are optional (not required for optional). a "holding bin" for now.
21:10:02 [wendy]
mc: some tests we've scrapped (went too far)
21:10:22 [wendy]
mc: checklists and test cases taking up majority of attention. techs need to proceed. lots of work to do.
21:10:25 [Zakim]
+Avi
21:10:29 [wendy]
mc: assigning action items to people.
21:10:42 [wendy]
mc: working on ways to move quickly/make progress.
21:11:04 [wendy]
mc: at the f2f at tp will work on. output should be documents ready for review by csun f2f meetings and shortly after, publish as public drafts.
21:12:05 [wendy]
ack j
21:12:16 [gregg]
q+
21:12:32 [wendy]
jw: 1. non of the techs can be required for conformance. they are not normative.
21:12:36 [wendy]
s/non/none
21:12:53 [wendy]
jw: in that sense, devs able to depart from techs as long as they meet the SC
21:13:19 [wendy]
jw: therefore, that aspect is addressed. however, how comprehensive do techs need to be?
21:13:39 [wendy]
jw: as far as checklist, completeing one should give strong assurance of conformance.
21:13:54 [wendy]
jw: however, may not be possible to provide checklists for every tech or combo of techs
21:14:08 [wendy]
jw: however, provide as much info as we can given our resources
21:14:23 [wendy]
mc: reflecting concerns of the group - 1. using techs and checklists to clarify guidelines.
21:14:31 [wendy]
mc: if we don't have them, will guidelines be clear enough.
21:14:47 [wendy]
mc: if we don't provide a checklist, author left to best interpretation, is there adequate assurance they following correctly.
21:14:55 [wendy]
q?

21:15:09 [wendy]

21:15:29 [wendy]
gv: some feel that checklist should be normative b/c SC not clear enough.
21:15:43 [wendy]
gv: if there isn't a checklist, then ppl would make up their own.
21:16:23 [wendy]
gv: wrt new techs, don't want to create info for non-public specs

21:17:25 [rellero]
zakim, mute me
21:17:25 [Zakim]
rellero should now be muted
21:17:26 [wendy]
gv: that's how we got to point of having one checklist instead of multiple.
21:18:12 [wendy]
gv: think can put off issue for now. we have 2 types of checklist items those that require both author and user agent requirements (these should not change often).
21:18:23 [wendy]
gv: if author's use new rules, then user agents can't take advantage of.
21:18:54 [wendy]
gv: compatibility issues as well as affordance issues.
21:19:32 [wendy]
gv: before get too deeply into debate, let's put ideas on the table and capture them. return to later after have made more effort on checklists.

js: wants to encourage innovation.
21:23:09 [wendy]
mc: who does what work. clear that we need to provide clarity. however, we're taking on several parts at once and that could muddy things.
21:23:15 [wendy]
mc: we could decrease our workload and provide focus.
21:23:26 [wendy]

q+ to say "some techniques are _a_ way but not the only way"
21:25:09 [wendy]
gv: checklists tend to be that way.
21:25:22 [wendy]
al: encourage, "this will work" and not say, "that will not work for sure"
21:25:29 [wendy]
al: it is not a repository of all techs on the web

ack jas
21:26:21 [wendy]
jw: if this wg were to contemplate normative checklists, would argue strongly for checklists being generated by 3rd parties. then have a test for valid checklists.

jw: uaag has something similar - how to use uaag in other specs
21:27:24 [wendy]

21:34:12 [wendy]
bc: tour - broken into 3 sections. 1 scoping query 2 questions about elements, types of categories (forms, non-text content)
21:34:23 [wendy]
bc: those related to applicability conditions that we're including in techniques.
21:34:42 [wendy]
gv: purpose for the 2 pages is to make the checklist shorter?
21:34:44 [wendy]
bc: right
21:34:53 [wendy]
bc: reduces the # of checklist items on page 3
21:35:20 [wendy]
bc: page 3 includes 20-some items which is not a complete set for the 6 level 1 criterion for guideline 1.1 - it's only listing those tests that are most complete.
21:35:23 [wendy]
bc: primarily idea for format
21:35:38 [wendy]
gv: questions or comments?

21:36:55 [wendy]
js: some of these items likely to be tested by tools. author primarily by humans.
21:37:54 [wendy]
gv: what if someone partially fills out and wants to come back, perhaps fill it out then generate an earl statement. when come back, feed earl into it.
21:38:37 [wendy]
gv: could run an automated tool could do as much as it could, generate earl, show up as comment fields in the checklist.
21:38:43 [wendy]
q+
21:39:19 [wendy]
gv: through more use, generate more complete earl statements
21:39:32 [wendy]
js: perhaps flip it around so that automated tool can incorporate this checklist and use it to spit out results
21:39:42 [wendy]
gv: use this as a reporting format
21:39:57 [wendy]
gv: then tools will help you fill this out

agendum 1. "2.4 L3 SC1 (Reading order) <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JanMar/0349.html>" taken up [from wendy]
21:51:02 [Doyle]
I have a work issue to contend with and will have to sign off - sorry for my short stay!!!
21:51:14 [wendy]
js: these still need a lot of work. would like to ask if good enough to include in next WG.
21:51:22 [wendy]
js: don't feel will get much better until get suggestions/comments.
21:51:32 [wendy]
ciao doyle

-Doyle
21:52:22 [wendy]
js: there are no techniques for level 1 of 2.4. all we say at level 1 is a cross-reference to 1.2
21:52:23 [wendy]
s/1.2/1.3
21:52:47 [wendy]
js: these drafts written b4 most recent draft of req docs
21:53:03 [wendy]
gv: looking at the first one - "when arranged in order that effects meaning..."
21:53:17 [wendy]
gv: title "reading order" task "controlling reading order"
21:53:24 [wendy]
gv: what is the actual technique?
21:53:43 [wendy]
gv: list under "may be redcuced or avoided by..."
21:53:54 [wendy]
can someone else minute?
21:54:20 [wendy]
gv: techs tend to morph the meaning of the SC
21:55:14 [wendy]
gv: if more restrictive, have to be careful when map to checklist
21:56:40 [wendy]
js: ongoing concern is that it is diffcult to simulaneously staying general (w/out relying on html) and make the distinction what might be required vs good practice.
21:56:48 [wendy]
js: one goal is to get that feedback from the group.
21:56:52 [wendy]
js: many places where i don't know.
21:57:03 [wendy]
s/redcuced/reduced
21:57:16 [wendy]
js: need a way to distinguish between required vs good practice
21:57:56 [wendy]
gv: should we organize these by writing in the success criteria, and writing "advisory" below it. SC becomes the task. below it: the following are things that need to be done...
21:58:11 [wendy]
gv: then below that, "these are recommended..."
21:58:20 [wendy]
gv: required goes into checklist. recommended are advisory.
21:58:36 [wendy]
gv: when come into techniques get this is required, more info about why doing it, etc.
21:59:08 [wendy]
js: that might work. in discussion about including in general techniques testable statement (same or not as task) that could be the checklist item.
21:59:58 [wendy]
marked up a draft of something like that at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2005/02/gen1_1.html
22:00:05 [wendy]

22:02:09 [wendy]
js: jw raised a question a while ago about reading order, should it even be a SC. could be handled by 1.3.
22:02:20 [wendy]
js: may be another instance of the bottom-up approach.
22:04:02 [wendy]
wac: if level 3 then it is optional for level 1.
22:04:10 [wendy]
wac: should clarify what level it is required for.
22:04:17 [wendy]

22:05:39 [wendy]

22:05:58 [wendy]

lgr: my confusion goes back to yvette's comment.
22:08:11 [gregg]
use the word "necessary" instead of required - at least while working on this
22:08:27 [wendy]
lgr: (looking at using lists) if you are numbering things, can help with reading order. but there are other ways to do it.
22:09:15 [wendy]
wac: restates for clarification - concern that there are many ways to do something and fear that we are requiring only one way.
22:09:28 [Zakim]
+Kerstin_Goldsmith
22:09:33 [wendy]
js: lgr is right. in this case, there are several techniques that could work in certain circumstances, so it is that kind of list.
22:09:44 [wendy]
js: it is clear that is not what people are envisioning.
22:10:23 [wendy]
js: to return to david's point, confusing required/optional point - my understanding of the status of the checklist (normative or not), but clear that the techs docs will be non-normative.
22:10:31 [wendy]
js: have to be careful to use words like required here.
22:10:33 [wendy]
ack j
22:10:56 [wendy]
js: we are providing non-normative info. "this will be required" in a tech doc is a non-normative statement.
22:11:11 [wendy]
js: this is an issue for how we use the term "required"
22:11:29 [wendy]
js: could say, "this is currently the only way we know how to do this." and may not be able to go any further.

gv: discussion of client-side scripts.
22:21:21 [wendy]
gv: uaag doesn't require scripts but if you support them, here's what you (a user agent developer) needs to do.
22:21:36 [wendy]
gv: does that mean that authors can use scripts w/out an equivalent/alternative, or only worry about accessible scripts.
22:21:40 [MattSEA]
q+
22:22:05 [wendy]
gv: that parallels 4.2 - if you provide your own UI, ensure that what you do meets UAAG.
22:22:22 [wendy]
gv: that would seem that scripting is not outlawed any more than anything else as long as you do it in an accessible form.

22:23:34 [wendy]
gv: how much do we assume about the technologies that end-users have?
