13:45:23 [Andrew]
Barry: starting point was a common set of services from each state, plus sites the state nominated
13:46:09 [Andrew]
Barry: auto scan of all sites (500) plus manual evaluation on subset (30 sites)
13:46:47 [Andrew]
Barry: manual eval confirmed auto test plus issues auto testing can't look at
13:47:45 [Andrew]
Barry: instead of just WCAG "A", broke it into four categories
13:47:55 [Wayne]
zakim, mute me
13:47:55 [Zakim]
wayne should now be muted
13:48:28 [Andrew]

Barry: tried to pick out particularly good practice, and named state and org
13:49:29 [Andrew]
Barry: long list of recommendations also in the report
13:51:16 [Andrew]
Barry: most states ahve WCAG "AA" as their objective, even if not many have achieved it
13:51:59 [Wayne]
zakim, unmute me
13:51:59 [Zakim]
wayne should no longer be muted

13:56:05 [Andrew]
s/See/Shadi
13:56:41 [Andrew]
Shadi: 4 pages that look equivalent but are inaccessible and accessible repsectively
13:57:04 [Andrew]
Shadi: plus a model evaluation
13:58:00 [Wayne]
wayne, unmute me
13:58:00 [Andrew]
Shadi: List of Web accessibility barriers selected for demonstration - http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/features
13:59:03 [Andrew]
Shadi: not comprehensive list of accessibility barries, but representative
13:59:16 [shawn]
shadi: can add accessibility barriers later
13:59:35 [Andrew]
Shadi: each of the four pages demonstrates different bariers
14:01:07 [Andrew]
Shadi: before (inaccessible) pages - http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/before/
14:01:49 [Andrew]
Shadi: not complete, but developing rapidly
14:02:15 [Andrew]
Shadi: some pages not only break with assistive technology, but also with some browsers
14:02:41 [Andrew]
Shadi: after (accessible) pages - http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2005/Demo/after/
14:03:00 [Andrew]
Shadi: the after pages are not as developed as the before pages
14:03:55 [Andrew]
Shadi: any comments/feedback?
14:04:07 [Andrew]
William: it looks pretty good
14:06:27 [Andrew]
Andrew: it will be a nice collection for demo purposes
14:06:44 [Andrew]
Shawn: is the visual design final?
14:07:08 [Andrew]
Shadi: pretty much final, maybe some fine tuning
14:08:10 [Andrew]
Shadi: does the top yellow warning/notice banner work?
14:09:36 [Andrew]
Andrew: yellow stands out, but as it does not match the colour scheme it does not detract from the design
14:10:15 [Andrew]
Barry: red on yellow is a bit difficult to read but words are good
14:10:46 [Andrew]
All: agree that placement is good
14:12:41 [Andrew]
Action: issues 1) reconsider red on yellow; 2) make banner text scalable; 3) consider link to good site as well as to 'about'
14:13:14 [Wayne]
wayne, unmute me
14:13:26 [Wayne]
zakim, unmute me
14:13:26 [Zakim]
wayne should no longer be muted
14:15:23 [Andrew]
Action: issues 4) add some padding to the text
14:16:09 [Andrew]
Wayne: the before page works fine with my custom stylesheet
14:16:37 [Andrew]
Shadi: it would be good to get some feedback from Wayne so we can possibly break it a bit more
14:17:18 [Andrew]
Action: Wayne to check all 'before' pages and provide feedback to TF
14:20:53 [Andrew]
Wayne: top banner currently interferes with page for me - rest of page is good
14:21:58 [shawn]
Action: issues 5) strong bottom border line
14:21:58 [Andrew]
Barry: likes overall visual design - not as strong concerns as Wayne as can factor out the banner (once you realise it's purpose)
14:24:49 [Andrew]
Shawn: is grey boring? William - yes; Barry - no, quite common
14:26:03 [Andrew]
Action: issues 6) are some space around the borders, e.g. 'traffic' should not be against the page boundry
14:30:16 [Andrew]
Shawn: lets consider navigation for the demo and between the good/bad pages
14:31:15 [shawn]
s/boring? William - yes;/boring? Harvey - yes;
14:37:45 [Andrew]
Shawn: do we all agree that best is a tweaking of the top warning banner?
14:38:14 [Zakim]
+Jack
14:38:19 [Andrew]
All: all agree that notificayion and navigation can be in the top bar on bother versions

14:45:11 [Andrew]
Andrew: what about using the LHS nav to link to the report, and then to the repaierd (or damaged) page?
14:45:37 [Andrew]
s/repaierd/repaired
14:46:56 [Andrew]
Shadi: please think about use cases - page by page vs site vs report etc
14:48:39 [Andrew]
Shawn: Andrew's suggestion may also alow demo of menu hierarchy
14:49:29 [Andrew]
Shawn: it should always be clear as to whether you are in the before or after site
14:49:45 [Andrew]
William: keep is simple
14:50:37 [Andrew]
Barry: disagrees with Andrew's suggestion - keep suite navigation separate from model navigation
14:51:49 [Andrew]
Barry: keep all suite navigation to the page linked from the banner at the top, might be extra links but simple and discreet
14:52:37 [Andrew]
Barry: put the good/bad indicator into the top banner, not on the page (but top banner needs to be kept concise)
14:54:14 [Andrew]
Shadi: what about using colour in the banner to help differentiate between good/bad?
14:54:50 [Andrew]
Wayne: whhy not just say BEFORE & AFTER?

15:04:00 [Andrew]
William: keep the pages pure - keep accessibility info out
15:04:27 [Andrew]
Most: agree with William; Andrew doesn't mind accessibility info

Shawn: discussion seems to be that the top bar should NOT be integrated more into the site, but can still demo best practice such as use of colour
15:17:23 [Andrew]
Shadi: thanks to TF members - Steve Faulkner, Liam McGee, Pasquale, Tanguy
15:18:13 [Andrew]
Action: consider links to 'intro', 'before', 'after', 'eval' in the top banner
