20:14:49 [Michael]
yph: found items to close, some that need small amount of discussion, some proposals for new SC, and some proposals for deletions
20:15:03 [Michael]
yph: a major problem is overlap between 2.4 and 1.3
20:15:37 [Michael]
1.3 is separate structure from presentation (or behaviour), 2.4 is structural stuff for navigation
20:15:56 [Michael]
yph: 434 propose to close
20:16:07 [ben_]
q+
20:16:14 [Michael]
ack ben
20:16:49 [Michael]
bbc: fact we have a level 1 SC doesn't necessarily deal with overlap with 1.3
20:17:08 [Michael]
yph: some suggestions to make L3 items L1, propose to postpone until those are handled
20:17:27 [wendy]
zakim, ping me in 20 minutes
20:17:27 [Zakim]
ok, wendy
20:18:03 [Michael]
gv: artifact from back when we designated as Core or not, therefore can close this as overcome by events
20:18:17 [Michael]
bbc: not opposed to closing issue, just want to be sure of rationale
20:18:44 [Michael]
js: objection to closing on above rationale?
20:18:51 [Michael]
<none>
20:19:30 [Michael]
yph: 829 move linear reading order to L1
20:19:50 [Michael]
yph: now reworded as re sequence
20:20:12 [Michael]
yph: related item we might want to delete - issue 1441
20:20:37 [Michael]
yph: can't test if sequence matters (author decision), and also covered by 1.3, therefore remove SC
20:20:52 [gregg]
q+
20:21:08 [wendy]
q+
20:21:31 [Michael]
js: 1 proposal to promote, 1 to delete, discuss
20:22:07 [Michael]
gv: current wording doesn't make sense, not sure why necessary
20:22:30 [Michael]
gv: need to be sure whatever we do is conditional re sequence, because much content can be read in many correct ways
20:23:04 [Michael]
ack gregg
20:23:06 [Michael]
ack wendy
20:23:17 [Michael]
wc: relates to 1214 and 1391
20:23:48 [Michael]
wc: 1391 is programatic determination of sequence is too vague, maybe needs to be always programatically determined
20:24:00 [Michael]
wac: perhaps sensible keyboard navigaiton overlaps
20:24:30 [Michael]
wac; 1214 is skipping groups of links, also relates to order making sense
20:24:42 [Michael]
wac: we need something at level 1 but could make it more broad
20:24:44 [Michael]
ack john
20:25:27 [Michael]
js: example of online newspaper with sidebars etc. in general techniques
20:26:03 [Michael]
js: intent not to assume all conditions but to deal with when screen readers make gobbledegook
20:26:26 [Michael]
js: perhaps wording to clarify that needed
20:26:55 [Michael]
tb: concern of objectivity of "meaningful" - author and user may disagree
20:27:13 [Michael]
tb: can it be objectively evaluated?
20:27:21 [Michael]
js: can be evaluated by human
20:28:11 [Michael]
yph: 1214 promote to L1 for harmonizing with Section 508
20:28:23 [Michael]
yph: is harmonizing something we want to consider?
20:28:27 [wendy]
q+
20:28:57 [Michael]
gv: propose we hold off because one of the WAI metagroups is discussing
20:29:35 [wendy]
ack wend
20:30:10 [Michael]
wac: if we agree to move navigating items in sequence to level 1, this really just falls into techniques so we can remove SC
20:30:27 [Michael]
wac: need to be sure we discuss grouping things, then discuss navigating in sequence
20:31:05 [wendy]
ack john
20:31:14 [Michael]
wac: some ohter changes outlined in a post re this
20:31:36 [Michael]
js: discussion of <link> to provide such features another technique, supporting Wendy's position
20:32:23 [Michael]
gv: not clear on Wendy's proposal
20:32:30 [Michael]
js: discuss on list
20:33:15 [Michael]
yph: progressive complexity - easy to understand summary, then other stuff
20:33:57 [Michael]
yph: was proposed to go under 2.4
20:34:03 [Michael]
yph: bug 1132

20:35:25 [ben_]
http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1137
20:35:32 [Michael]
yph: perhaps we should have a more generic version
20:36:19 [Michael]
yph: re need to divide blocks of info into manageable units
20:36:55 [Michael]
gv: recursive - when you divide blocks you still have blocks that need to divide. Need a divide when "too large" and how do you define threshold.

js: exist generally accepted ways of discussing that stuff, will send to list
20:38:27 [Michael]

lgr: zoom in vs explore
20:40:02 [Zakim]
-Bengt_Farre
20:40:21 [Michael]
yph: yes, need manageable
20:40:45 [Michael]
js: yvette should write up as functional outcome, then we can look at techniques to achieve, e.g., separate steps, zooming, etc.

20:46:24 [Yvette]
scribe: Yvette
20:46:29 [Yvette]
lgr: 4.2
20:46:46 [Yvette]
lgr: summary from subgroup work in overview message
20:46:55 [Yvette]
lgr: difference between web application and user agent
20:47:35 [Yvette]
lgr: based on that distinction that Wendy wrote, we tried to walk through UAAG level 1 to see what was involved and see if WCAG already covered that or things needed to be added
20:47:44 [Yvette]
lgr: feedback anyone?
20:48:15 [Yvette]
gvdh: is the distinction in the post?
20:48:42 [Yvette]
js: listed in the agenda, includes Wendy's message with distinction between web application and user agent

20:49:10 [Yvette]
js: sorry for the URL mix up, wrong URL was in the agenda
20:50:05 [Yvette]
lgr: is definition of web application appropriate for what we want with this guideline?
20:50:36 [Yvette]
js: that's two questions: 1. definition of web application clear and accurate? 2. is this appropriate for our purposes?
20:50:48 [Yvette]
js: anyone have a different definition for web app?
20:51:17 [Zakim]
-Bengt_Farre
20:51:35 [Yvette]
gvdh: do web applications have interface controls? 4.2 is meant to handle the included interface. Example: flash
20:51:39 [bengt_]
bengt_ has joined #wai-wcag
20:51:48 [wendy]
q+ to say "interface covered by other WCAG guidelines"
20:52:15 [Yvette]
gvdh: we never said that it _was_ a user agent, just that it has interface controls so we said rather than make our own rules we refer to UAAG

+Bengt_Farre; got it
20:53:05 [Yvette]
wc: we were looking at UAAG because we were looking at interface. However if you look at our guidelines, we actually cover interfaces pretty well in our guidelines
20:53:37 [Yvette]
wc: main issues: name widgets, make sure widgets can be accessed, provide role and state information
20:53:51 [Zakim]
-Katie_Haritos-Shea
20:54:14 [Yvette]
wc: we matched all the UAAG to WCAG 2 criteria and realized that there are places where authors need to provide the input the user agent needs to provide the interface
20:54:16 [Zakim]
+Katie_Haritos-Shea
20:54:22 [Becky_Gibson]
q+
20:54:33 [Yvette]

jw: Agree with wc
20:56:40 [Yvette]
jw: in analysis it became clear we couldn't just refer to UAAG
20:57:06 [Yvette]
jw: it's not possible to conform to UAAG with web content
20:57:34 [Yvette]
jw: we need to find out what's missing from the guidelines for user agents to work with
20:57:36 [wendy]
zakim, ping me in 10 minutes
20:57:36 [Zakim]
ok, wendy
20:57:56 [Yvette]
bg: I didn't get some of the examples Wendy gave like the Javascript one.
20:58:18 [Yvette]
wc: examples were to illustrate web applications that were not user agents
20:58:26 [Yvette]
zakim, unmute me
20:58:26 [Zakim]
Yvette_Hoitink should no longer be muted
20:59:25 [wendy]
what the author needs to provide in the delivery unit so that the user agent can generate an accessible perceivable unit
21:00:10 [Yvette]
gvdh: if I understand correctly, most of that is already in our guidelines
21:00:23 [Yvette]
gvdh: so rather than sending people off to UAAG, just include what's missing in our guidelines
21:00:39 [ben_]
q+
21:00:40 [Yvette]
gvdh: so we suspend the reference to UAAG until we figure out what's missing
21:00:45 [Zakim]
-Bengt_Farre
21:01:53 [Yvette]
gvdh: need to make sure people creating web applications put the right stuff in so they're accessible

ack ben
21:04:09 [Yvette]
bc: In the UAAG analysis there are examples that talk about requiring that things be available programatically
21:04:15 [Zakim]
+Mike_Barta
21:04:36 [Yvette]
bc: confused by what was meant by some of those f.e. "require to determine background images programatically"
21:04:45 [Becky_Gibson]
q+
21:05:08 [Yvette]
lgr: the idea is to make sure that no matter the form, the user agent will be able to get at the information
21:05:22 [Yvette]
lgr: if it's HTML source, that's programatically available to the UA
21:05:36 [Yvette]
lgr: it's a way to say that the source expresses the information about these relationships.
21:06:02 [Yvette]
bc: that helps a bit, I can see that there are cases where it's more difficult to distuinguish between foreground and background
21:06:08 [Yvette]

bg: Issue I have with this (will post) is about requiring ATAG for web apps that allows content generation
21:07:27 [Yvette]
bg: for example: mail input web app that would require asking for alt-text
21:07:29 [wendy]
ack wendy
21:07:37 [Zakim]
wendy, you asked to be pinged at this time
21:07:42 [Yvette]
bg: scares me as web app developer
21:08:04 [Yvette]
wc: only web apps that involve creating content that is meant for the web would need to conform to ATAG
21:08:45 [Yvette]
wc: hairy issue: for example, our IRC client logs to the web, so would our IRC program have to confrom to ATAG?
21:09:01 [bengt_]
bengt_ has joined #wai-wcag
21:09:04 [Yvette]
wc: we could say "if your app generates web content, go to ATAG"
21:09:18 [Yvette]
wc: doesn't clarify when web content needs ATAG or WCAG
21:09:30 [bengt]

tb: ATAG meeting next week. I'll take it to that group.
21:11:08 [Yvette]
mm: from the ATAG perspective everything is well defined already. I'm missing what the grey area is
21:11:58 [Yvette]
wc: the current def of AT doesn't exclude content that isn't necessarily meant for the web

wc: when started 1.1 revies serveral issues about definitions
21:16:01 [Becky_Gibson]
wc: depending on defs. SC can mean very different things
21:16:43 [Becky_Gibson]
wc: started with definitions to get grounded and felt first SC is most contentious and affects baseline
21:18:01 [Becky_Gibson]
wc: main ques. is if we define text content as ...... and functional text content as ..... (see post)
21:18:39 [Becky_Gibson]
wc: also proposed defs for content
21:18:59 [Becky_Gibson]
wc: don't want 4.2 to morph into just how to label widgets

q+ to say that 'text' is unicode or other character set / character encoding scheme defined by a standardization org

gv: but a bit worried about combining 4.2 into other places things will be too confusing - only a mathematician can understand
21:48:18 [Becky_Gibson]

8Hi, Joe!
22:01:33 [jslatin]
We just finished the call...
22:02:12 [jslatin]
There should be minutes in a couple of days (that sounds odd).
22:02:29 [jslatin]
We didn't discuss your 1.3 messages since you weren't available.
22:02:44 [jslatin]
I did ask that people review your messages carefully and respond.
22:03:03 [jslatin]
Also, I'll ask that you go one more step
22:03:38 [jslatin]
and propose success criteria for 1.3 that (a) provide testable ways to implement the guideline as you propose it and
22:03:53 [jslatin]
(b) address as many of the issues in your summary as possible;
22:04:02 [jslatin]
and (c) address any concerns raised on the list.
22:04:18 [jslatin]
Then we can go through it on Thursday's call next week.
22:04:50 [jslatin]
I'll send email about this too.
22:05:01 [jslatin]
Great minds think alike.
