Michael Lenz offered changes to design - but will wait until later to implement. 12:39:56 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ut3/status 12:40:41 SH: Just content for this page 12:41:17 zakim, mute me 12:41:17 Helle_Bjarno should now be muted 12:42:38 SH: Changes to the Page Contents - previously was Support Materials, then Accessibility Resources - problems in u-testing.

Do want to give some specifics - balance between - if similar could be something generic 13:00:12 DS: new mac OS has built in screen reader 13:00:40 HBJ: What about countries where they use other screen readers? Germany? 13:01:05 SH: Will not put instructions for all screen readers 13:01:17 HBJ: but US now 13:01:37 SH: Instructions for most common without looking like only US? 13:02:53 Sylvie: Perhaps not so detailed, remain general. Always new users of JAWS who do not know how to do. Many don't implement header system. Helpful for those who don't know how screenreaders work. 13:03:21 Sylvie: refer to screenreader help for more information 13:04:14 SH: More generic and not list specific screenreaders 13:05:59 SH: Test if 1 takes you to Heading in Home Page Reader 13:06:15 yes...because it has a 30 day trial 13:06:22 SH: Anyone know if developers use? 13:06:52 SH: Pros of including HPR instructions? 13:07:12 Sylvie: Use both that and a real screen reader 13:08:06 helle not Sylvie 13:08:54 CL: HPR 3.02 only moves using arrow keys not number keys 13:09:22 Helle: with 3.04 jump from heading to heading 13:09:58 SH: Graphical browsers do this? 13:10:02 sorry! 13:10:13 :-) 13:11:33 SH: Add other assistive technologies 13:12:47 SH: Not sure of benefit of adding that (Zoom Text). Clarification benefit vs. complication 13:14:59 zakim, mute me 13:14:59 Helle_Bjarno should now be muted 13:15:27 The canadian guidelines prohibit them I think 13:15:37 The canadian guidelines prohibit them I think 13:15:56 SH: Info provided will only have level 1 13:16:30 CL: Access keys more trouble than they are worth 13:16:58 Canadian common look and feel guidelines 13:17:15 Cl: don't remember seeing explicitly 13:17:42 I agree we should avoid them 13:18:47 Topic: How to Change Text Size and Colors: http://www.w3.org/WAI/about/usingsite.html 13:20:25 We could sniff for the browser and lead the user to the appropriate example 13:20:28 zakim, unmute me 13:20:28 Helle_Bjarno should no longer be muted 13:21:12 OK 13:21:38 SH: Just Mac and Windows - most common. 13:22:01 CL: Add Netscape 13:22:18 [Just learnt how to see the page with no style in firefox :-)] 13:22:21 (HB) 13:23:29 SH: Add Netscape, Firefox 13:23:52 Could we start the page with a pharase like "It's very easy to change the text size and colours in your browser" 13:24:01 this page tells you how... 13:26:16 It's not clear that this is an example for site designers as well as a help for users 13:28:33 The intention ought to be clear, but maybe it isn't. 13:29:17 Harvey has joined #eo 13:29:46 I missed that part. 13:30:01 It's for two audiences. Later we could add a note for page designers saying they could copy the idea. 13:30:31 zakim, unmute me 13:30:31 Alan should no longer be muted 13:31:51 Alan: thouht it was to be educational - they could put page in site and encourage people to learn how to change text size and color 13:32:05 SH: Other's could include this in their site. 13:32:20 AC: Encourage people and inform them. 13:32:22 zakim, mute me 13:32:22 Alan should now be muted 13:33:05 Regret: Sailesh Panchang 13:33:35 HBJ: In beginning say to increase text size - should just say change text size 13:34:24 DS: like having a number of examples - gives sense they can find this. 13:35:51 [Alan has to leave call] 13:36:00 SH: Decrease they could figure out and doesn't seem as important. 13:37:13 -Alan 13:37:22 CL: Might not make leap to understand you can do other 13:37:59 Sh: I agree - point is to try to tell people they can do this but realize that we're not able to solve all problems. 13:38:58 SH: Put as Change, then increase or decrease in description, then say examples are increase 13:39:05 Agree; Helle, CL, Carol 13:41:52 HBJ: Get bit of horizontal scrolling - difficult to read page. 13:42:48 SH: could take out of table - but easier in table. 13:44:13 HB: Screen capture described in the page - menu item is that description 13:44:58 HBJ: Change ALT text to know which image is which? 13:45:14 SH: If can't see image would you want to see. 13:45:51 CS: If putting ALT might as well put extra word 13:46:05 CL: If looking with images turned off - decide to turn on based on ALT text. 13:46:51 SH: Add complexity? 13:47:33 HBJ: maybe none 13:48:14 CS: put browser title or blank ALT 13:49:10 SD: May want to enable to see what looks like in firefox or explorer - helpful to have different alt text. 13:49:20 SH: Can tell if looking at because of table. 13:49:57 SD: Don't always read in table mode - because linerizing well don't always tell which it is. 13:50:40 Bunch of "Ayes" to change. 13:50:44 zakim, mute me 13:50:44 Helle_Bjarno should now be muted 13:51:59 SH: Make changes and send to EO list - won't go through in detail again. If comments send to list but not on agenda. 13:52:29 Topic: Evaluation tool list updates 13:52:51 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/existingtools.html 13:54:17 Shadi: No differentiation between types of tools. Features are listed for each. 13:54:36 Shadi: How does it look - spacing visually - other ideas? 13:55:22 Shadi: Search functionality - two options. Sorting in combo box or Additional Search Options - lists all features in database. 13:56:27 HB: Very useful organization - impressed 13:56:42 Shadi: tried to stay with tools page - may be tweaks necessary 13:56:45 zakim, unmute me 13:56:45 Helle_Bjarno should no longer be muted 13:56:53 zakim, unmute me 13:56:54 Justin should no longer be muted 13:58:07 CL: At F2F in Boston saw original work - discussion where to go. Looks great! 13:58:46 CL: checklist great way to refine searching. 13:59:18 Pasquale: Excellent work - very useful. It's impressive - numbers of items you find to put in database to search. 14:00:51 Lists could get extremly long 14:00:55 (Helle) 14:01:51 HBJ: type in search to find specific item - like Google 14:02:11 Shadi: Will look into this - but difficult. 14:02:30 HBJ: Checklist we end up with will be very big. 14:03:18 q+ for idea for advanced search page 14:03:51 Shadi: Advanced users go through all 14:04:13 Shadi: Each collapsible list so you can go through? 14:04:16 HBJ: Yes 14:04:41 Sh: Can have a later list. Search - may be 2nd revision - not hold up first release for. 14:05:33 SH: Move support, etc. - easier way to skim categories. 14:07:00 Shadi: Opinions on moving Support, etc. to H2 - Helle ok 14:07:46 SH: Implemented somewhere else and not fully successful. We should discuss later as low on time. 14:09:41 SH/HBJ: Each Category is explained in Selecting Tools Document 14:10:21 SH: How do we link to these explainations 14:11:38 SH: H2 to get to it? 14:11:45 Present: doyle, shadi, helle, justin, carol, Shawn, alan, Chuck, Pasquale, Harvey, Sylvie 14:12:07 SH: Selecting Web Access Tools describes each of the sections below 14:12:42 Sorting option - clear enough? H2 as well? 14:12:53 JT: Took a few mintues before figured out what to do with page. 14:13:14 JT: Towards bottom of page- smaller resolution would get lost. 14:13:32 JT: Delay between figuring out what to do. 14:14:17 SHadi: Maybe make H2 and change title 14:14:56 CS: if could move up for frequent users would be idea. 14:15:00 ideal 14:15:13 Helle: have to scroll 14:15:39 SH: Shorten introduction would probably be able to be done 14:16:02 Helle: Sort list instead of "Customize" 14:17:05 JT: Sort according to Tool Name didn't click with me. 14:19:00 HBJ: Just see list of tools - start with A prompt? 14:19:38 Shadi: only pops up if select - could click link to take to entire list as it was 14:20:06 If come to list with no prior sorting - paragraph not listed. All listed on page. 14:20:28 Helle: Then I could choose by vendor name? 14:21:32 Shadi: Yes - that's why the reset. When switch between pages it remembers previous options. Don't have to recheck or re-narrow search. 14:22:52 Helle Looks fine 14:23:21 JT: Refresh page when choose drop down? 14:24:03 Have to leave... cheers! 14:24:06 JT: Would be afraid of not realizing that something has happened. 14:24:18 -Chuck_Letourneau 14:25:09 JT: Would expect a Search metaphor with info at top - not for it to resort on same page. 14:25:39 Shadi: Designed so you can bookmark page and come back to previous sort. 14:26:29 SH: What if list area visually different - stuff at top - generic background stuff. Make bottom look more active. 14:27:17 CS: Move content so that first result is up higher. 14:30:33 Shadi: additions to side bar? 14:31:47 SH: Look at Lexicon in coming week - will get more guidance. 14:32:10 -Sylvie_Duchateau 14:32:32 -Bingham 14:32:34 -Carol 14:32:36 -Doyle_Saylor 14:32:37 -Justin 14:32:38 -Shawn 14:32:39 -Shadi 14:32:42 -Pasquale 14:32:43 -Helle_Bjarno 14:32:44 WAI_EOWG()8:30AM has ended 14:32:45 Attendees were Doyle_Saylor, +1.312.737.aaaa, Helle_Bjarno, Justin, Shadi, Shawn, Carol, Chuck_Letourneau, Alan, Bingham, Pasquale, Sylvie_Duchateau 14:33:03 zakim, bye 14:33:03 Zakim has left #eo 14:33:12 rrsagent, make logs world 14:33:19 rrsagent, draft minutes 14:33:19 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2005/04/15-eo-minutes.html shawn 14:34:24 shawn has left #eo 14:36:30 Justin has left #eo 14:49:00 rrsagent, bye 14:49:00 I see no action items
