"Test run" taken up [from MartijnHoutepen] 14:14:01 Eric: changed the survey questions for 2&3 to make it more clear what was required. Survey 2 had been answered by a number of people, so I left the questions there at question 15 or so. You can complete questions after that if you want to. Both surveys are now open. 14:14:27 Eric: you have the opportunity to fill in the information until next week when we'll have a summary of website 2 and hopefully website 3 14:14:40 q+ 14:14:49 Eric: website 1: easy - gaming, 2: more complex, 3: library 14:15:00 q? 14:15:02 ack me 14:15:03 Eric: has anyone looked at the changed surveys 14:15:13 14:15:54 Zakim, mute me 14:15:54 Detlev should now be muted 14:15:59 Eric: url for the website 3 now has a direct link to the url 14:16:32 Eric: link to survey 2 in the answer page after the introduction you can go down to question 11, optional questions below 14:17:15 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/48225/testrun3/ 14:17:55 Eric: testrun 3 page in the introduction there is a direct link to the library part of the website 14:18:07 Eric: survey 1 is closed now 14:18:27 Eric: need the conclusions to add to the disposition of comments about the outcomes of the surveys 14:18:55 Eric: adding it to the disposition of comments makes it easy to see if we've fixed them 14:19:00 zakim, mute me 14:19:00 Vivienne should now be muted 14:19:33 Eric: if you want to address survey 2&3, please do it as quickly as possible 14:19:41 q+ 14:19:46 ack me 14:20:07 zakim, mute me 14:20:07 MartijnHoutepen should now be muted 14:20:10 Eric: Martijn will do the comment list for survey 2 14:20:26 Eric: who can summarize the outcome of survey 3? 14:20:31 q+ 14:20:34 ack me 14:21:01 Detlev: should we wait till we've got some replies first? There is sufficient to talk about from survey 2. 14:21:26 Eric: we'll be working on the disposition of comments, so we have enough work and can give this more time 14:21:28 Zakim, mute me 14:21:29 Detlev should now be muted 14:21:33 yes 14:21:34 +1 14:21:35 +1 14:21:38 Eric: we can do website 3 in a couple of weeks 14:21:39 yes 14:21:40 +1 14:22:04 Eric: next week we'll discuss the outcome of website 2 and will send a reminder to people to complete the survey 14:22:17 q? 14:22:22 zakim, take up agendum 4 14:22:22 agendum 4. "Welcome" taken up [from MoeKraft] 14:22:40 zakim, close agendum 4 14:22:40 agendum 4, Welcome, closed 14:22:41 I see 1 item remaining on the agenda: 14:22:41 3. Test run [from MartijnHoutepen] 14:23:10 eric: Discussion: when to decide not to sample, when to sample 14:23:33 Eric: Discussion: hererogeneity and homogeneity 14:24:15 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-evaltf/2013May/0042.html 14:24:59 q+ 14:25:04 Eric: discussion around developers using different coding on different pages of the website and so taking perhaps 1 or 2 tables would not be enough - homogeneity of the website 14:25:19 Eric: We need a good definition 14:25:34 Eric: what causes are there for this situation 14:25:41 q+ 14:25:54 Eric: how can an evaluator determine if there is homogeneity/hetergeneity on the website 14:26:42 Peter: what has tables got to do with it - also in coding it can be just the html 14:27:03 Peter: this isn't a hard & fast or precise thing, but more of an indicator as to the confidence level of the sampling 14:27:40 q+ 14:28:09 q- 14:28:11 Peter: you could have 100 pages all coded in the same style, which will indicate that probably all 10,000 are similar. However we can have a host of coding styles within the sample, and this would decrease the confident of our sample. 14:28:33 q+ 14:28:34 Eric: tables is just an example of something you look for in an evaluation 14:28:42 ack me 14:29:26 Detlev: not sure what makes that difference in the methodology, how much would it help developers. You can have many differences such as script base, it's down to the evaluator's sampling 14:30:05 q+ 14:30:19 q_ 14:30:20 q+ 14:30:24 Zakim, mute me 14:30:24 Detlev should now be muted 14:31:51 Mike: one of the criteria for a website being acceptable is that there is consistency throughout the site. Whether 1 developer has used a different format for say a widget or there are several developers, this is not the key thing. The key thing is the consistency. There is value to pointing it out to evaluators to watch for it. Maybe change 'style' to 'design patterns' or similar. 'Style' 14:31:51 may refer more to coding. 14:32:11 ack me 14:32:17 ack mike 14:33:31 Shadi: regarding Detlev's comments - don't make it too complicated. Looking at Step 3 Sampling - intro paragraph talks about authoring mechanisms rather than styles - maybe we can be more specific with our wording. Not only the types of pages dictate the sampling size, but perhaps also the way the page is coded. 14:33:35 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/ED-methodology-20130128#step3b 14:34:28 Shadi: 3(b) (link above) change from selected 2 distinct pages to 1 distinct page. Maybe we can reflect from the test runs to see how large a sample is needed. 14:35:52 Shadi: maybe in that same step we should enumerate the different types of pages that an evaluator should select as in step 2(c) and talk about the coding style as one of the parameters which would grow or shrink the sample size. It is difficult to put objective criteria to decided what a homogeneous or heterogeneous website. 14:36:05 q? 14:36:11 http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/ED-methodology-20130128#step2c 14:36:27 ack me 14:36:51 [[Web pages with varying styles, layouts, structures, and functionality often have different implementations of accessibility features. They are also often generated by different templates and authored by different people.]] 14:37:15 MH: agree with Mike & Shadi. Can add something more in the general procedure - also see email. 14:37:41 Eric: is it so important that we have to add more text about it. 14:37:51 zakim, mute me 14:37:51 MartijnHoutepen should now be muted 14:38:27 q+ 14:38:40 ack ko 14:38:58 Peter: the confidence you have in your sampling size needs to be adequate and may be influenced by the homogeneity of the coding used. This may influence the likliehoood that your sample is capturing everythng. 14:39:24 ack me 14:39:24 q- 14:41:02 +1 to Detlev 14:41:03 Detlev: need to consider the need for sampling. Need to think about the purpose of the evaluation. YOu may gain little in the overall result if you add more different bad pages, but it's good for the designer. 14:41:04 q+ 14:41:22 Zakim, mute me 14:41:22 Detlev should now be muted 14:41:29 ack me 14:41:30 Eric: let's keep discussing this on the list 14:41:34 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#step2c 14:41:59 Shadi: we can sharpen the text here - also 2(c) where we talk about what constitutes a different type of page. 14:42:45 q+ 14:43:22 Shadi: it's not about building larger and larger samples. In some cases you come across something that is fairly accessible and you want to make sure that this is representative. We need to sharpen the terminology and reiterate that the coverage needs to get bigger depending upon the purpose of the evaluation and the type of the website 14:44:00 q+ 14:44:27 Peter: if the website is so awful that you've seen enough, it turns the focus of our work on its head. We're trying to help someonemake a solid compliance claim - aiming for perfection. "most websites are so bad you've seen enough", then we need to focus a lot more work on how you report the lack of perfection. 14:44:29 q- 14:44:40 ack me 14:45:51 Shadi: in the document at the beginning we talk about the use of the document. In cases where you're looking for perfection (accessible website) and you want to verify that or issue a conformance claim is oneof the use cases that this methodology is targeted for. Other use case - how good or how bad - what do I need to fix in order to conform 14:47:05 Shadi: We need to think about this in regard to reporting. Depends upon purposes - conformance - you can stop early if conformance is the goal once there are a certain number of errors. Even though you know a table is inaccessible and you've already realized they fail conformance you may continue to check to show the different types 14:48:05 +1 agree that we need to look more deeply on the reporting aspect 14:49:08 Eric: words 'reasonable confidence' step 3 and in introduction. The concept of using this as a way to conclude what the confidence is for the results that you've gathered. 14:50:11 Eric: we should discuss the question of 'to sample or not to sample' on the list 14:50:17 Eric: any other issues? 14:50:18 q+ 14:50:22 ack me 14:52:01 Detlev: are we open to changing the question of evaluation purposes? developer/designer for new websites so they ask for testing and another situation - 2 main scenarious for testing and they don't seem to be so well reflected in the 3 different reporting types - detailed info to the designers or informing/challenging a conformance claim 14:53:12 Can do 14:53:40 Eric: will put it on the agenda for the next telco 14:53:41 Zakim, mute me 14:53:41 Detlev should now be muted 14:54:32 Shadi: are there only the 3 different use cases - for future discussion. We may want to think about other use cases. 14:54:40 Eric: we could put it on the list 14:54:56 I will trigger that yes 14:55:21 conscientious 14:55:45 ack me 14:55:46 bye 14:55:47 bye 14:55:48 bye! 14:55:48 -Peter_Korn 14:55:50 -MoeKraft 14:55:50 zakim, ack me 14:55:51 unmuting Vivienne 14:55:51 I see no one on the speaker queue 14:55:53 -Detlev 14:55:54 -Mike 14:55:55 -MartijnHoutepen 14:56:00 -Liz 14:56:04 korn2 has left #eval 14:56:06 trackbot, end meeting 14:56:06 Zakim, list attendees 14:56:06 As of this point the attendees have been Shadi, MartijnHoutepen, Vivienne, Eric_Velleman, Liz, Peter_Korn, MoeKraft, Detlev, Katie_Haritos-Shea, Mike 14:56:07 ericvelleman has left #eval 14:56:11 -Eric_Velleman 14:56:12 -Shadi 14:56:14 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 14:56:14 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/05/30-eval-minutes.html trackbot 14:56:14 -Vivienne 14:56:15 RRSAgent, bye 14:56:15 I see no action items 14:56:16 -Katie_Haritos-Shea 14:56:16 WAI_ERTWG(Eval TF)10:00AM has ended 14:56:16 Attendees were Shadi, MartijnHoutepen, Vivienne, Eric_Velleman, Liz, Peter_Korn, MoeKraft, Detlev, Katie_Haritos-Shea, Mike
