Thanks Eric and Vicki, Shawn, Bim for commenting and AnnaBelle for noting she needed to abstain. 13:38:21 I did review the some of the comments 13:38:45 Shawn: As we go throguh these, can someone put notes in the wiki as we go through these? 13:38:59 AnnaBelle: I am willing to try, may need some help. 13:39:45 paulschantz has joined #eo 13:39:53 +PaulSchantz 13:41:35 ack me 13:42:09 zakim, mute me 13:42:09 EricE should now be muted 13:43:10 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#context-changedef 13:43:21 changes of context 13:43:40 Shawn: First one is from Sylvie, not sure that we can resolve. 13:43:49 Shadi: Not sure what is the intent of the comment 13:44:26 Sharron: I think it is the fact that it is vague and soemwhat unlcear as to the intention. The technical definition may be too broad. 13:44:57 ...the fact that Eric suggested a drop down menu as an example indicates that. 13:45:08 Shadi: Refer to change of context. 13:46:18 Shawn: Great, next point is the need to link tot he terminology, there was agreement about that. 13:47:10 Shawn: Next comment was about "supercede." All subsequent comments were to leave this as is with no submission of a comment from EO 13:47:33 AnnaBelle: updates wiki 13:47:53 s/tot he/to the 13:49:11 Shawn: Next points are about clarity on different types of web sites. First is clarity of wording and second point is a comment on the content - end to end testing of apps. 13:50:17 Shadi: To expect that you must evaluate every single possibility within a web process is unrealistic. The process of end-to-end testing is covered elsewhere in any case. 13:51:00 +1 for words 13:51:17 Shawn: That addresses the content suggestion, about the wording, I suggested a rewrite [reads] any concerns with that? 13:51:22 All: none 13:51:34 AnnaBelle: updates wiki 13:52:39 Shawn: In step 2C there is a question from Anthony about whether this is redundant, is it covered elsewhere. Comments were that no, it was not covered elsewhere. 13:55:18 Sharron: parenthesis in middle of phrase is a little jarring 13:57:06 zakim, ack me 13:57:06 unmuting Howard 13:57:07 I see no one on the speaker queue 13:57:13 +1 to moving the link 13:57:57 ...next in step 2D . Anthony had some lack of clarity/understanding. 13:58:07 Sharron: The parenthetical phrase is a bit unsettling 13:58:33 Howard: Without the parenteses it will need to be reworded... 13:59:19 Shadi: I think I have the idea, don't need to wordsmaith entirely. 13:59:26 zakim, mute me 13:59:26 Howard should now be muted 14:00:18 Shawn: To summarize our comment would be to remove parentheses, delete phrase "to provide the web site" and consider moving WCAG link to first sentence. 14:02:39 Wayne has joined #eo 14:04:02 + +1.562.256.aaaa 14:06:00 zakim, aaaa is Wayne 14:06:00 +Wayne; got it 14:06:13 The purpose of this selection is to ensure that the evaluation results reflect the accessibility performance of the website with reasonable confidence. -> The purpose of this selection is to ensure reasonable confidence that the evaluation results reflect the accessibility performance of the website. 14:06:23 The purpose of this selection is to ensure that the evaluation results reflect the accessibility performance of the website with reasonable confidence. -> The purpose of this selection is to provide reasonable confidence that the evaluation results reflect the accessibility performance of the website. 14:07:03 +1 to Shawn's wording 14:07:35 In cases where it is feasible to evaluate all web pages, this sampling procedure can be skipped and the selected sample is considered to be the entire website in the remaining steps of the conformance evaluation procedure. 14:08:09 Shawn: This needs simplification 14:08:51 ..."You can skip the sampling procedure and the selected sample is the entire website 14:09:43 Bim: ...and treat the entire web site as the selected sample 14:09:46 treat the entire web site as the selected sample 14:09:52 In cases where it is feasible to evaluate all web pages, you can skip this sampling procedure, then the "selected sample" in the emaining steps of the conformance evaluation procedure is the entire website. 14:12:48 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#step2e 14:13:16 Web pages explaining accessibility features of the websites; 14:13:16 Web pages with information and help on the use of the website; 14:13:16 Web pages explaining settings, preferences, options, shortcuts, etc.; 14:13:16 Web pages with contact information, directions, and support instructions. 14:14:12 ack me 14:15:16 q+ to strengthen 14:15:19 Shawn: Next one is in Step 3, 14:15:28 ack me 14:15:28 shawn, you wanted to strengthen 14:15:55 zakim, mute me 14:15:55 EricE should now be muted 14:16:38 Shawn: We like the quiet links in general, but if there is a case where the dependency is important to understand the current content, maybe there is a stronger way to indicate that. 14:17:59 Shawn: Maybe our comment is something about the places where the importance of dependency is high that there is strong indcation of that. 14:18:09 Shadi" Consider making those dependencies more clear 14:18:42 s/Shadi"/Shadi: 14:19:21 Shadi: ..and consider reducing such dependencies where possible 14:20:15 Wayne: This is not an easy document and I don't see how to do this without dependencies. Some times in a complex document like this, there is a dependency graph or chart. 14:20:29 Shadi: We do try to make that clear in the beginning 14:23:34 ack me 14:23:59 zakim, mute me 14:23:59 Shawn should now be muted 14:25:27 zakim, unmute me 14:25:27 Shawn should no longer be muted 14:26:05 Eric: This section is hard to read, if instead of this complex structure, could we sayI wonder if many of those steps could just be summarized with "Include all web pages (and web page states) that were identified in Step 2.a-e."? 14:27:03 Shadi: This is related to simplifying the dependencies and identifying the links. The brackets of parentheses or quotations to set those off. 14:28:04 "Include all common web pages and web page states that were identified in Step 2.a: Identify Common Web Pages of the Website into the selected sample for evaluation." -> "Include into the selected sample for evaluation all common web pages and web page states that were identified in Step 2.a: Identify Common Web Pages of the Website." 14:28:32 "Include all common web pages and web page states that were identified in Step 2.a: Identify Common Web Pages of the Website into the selected sample for evaluation." -> "Include in the selected sample all common web pages and web page states that were identified in Step 2.a: Identify Common Web Pages of the Website." 14:29:05 ...could be grammatically improved. So there may be three parts: 1) avoid dependencies 2) the grammatical tendency to remove the dangling ends of sentences and 3) in the places where we need to reference another section do we need parenthese or brackets? 14:29:21 ^^^ comment ^^^ 14:30:35 zakim, mute me 14:30:35 EricE should now be muted 14:30:58 Sharron: I thought we had decided last week that #3 was not specific to this document? 14:31:28 Shawn: Yes we decided that it was more of a User Agent issue 14:31:46 Shadi: So we should try not to ... 14:31:58 Shawn: have them in the middle of a sentence 14:33:02 ...Suzette has pointed out that links in the middle of a sentence are very distracting and sometimse hard to understand. So we have tried when possible to put links at the end of sentences 14:34:25 -EricE 14:34:31 zakim, call EricE-Skype 14:34:31 ok, yatil; the call is being made 14:34:33 +EricE 14:35:07 Shawn: We are skipping the next as Eric said there is not much we can do...next is Purpose of this Methodology, second sentence. 14:37:15 7me lol 14:37:24 s/7me lol// 14:37:58 Paul: Reads Vicki's comment, ending with the suggestion "Periodic evaluation is necessary for monitoring the accessibility performance of websites over time". 14:38:05 zakim, who si making noise? 14:38:05 I don't understand your question, shawn. 14:38:39 zakim, who is making noise? 14:38:53 shawn, listening for 14 seconds I heard sound from the following: Shawn (96%), Sharron (3%), PaulSchantz (6%), Shadi (3%), EricE (17%) 14:39:13 zakim, nick yatil is EricE 14:39:13 ok, yatil, I now associate you with EricE 14:39:16 zakim, mute me 14:39:16 EricE should now be muted 14:39:26 Sharron: +1 to Vicki's suggestion 14:40:06 Shadi: prefer important to necessary since it was used in sentence before 14:41:10 Paul: Reads next comment: "Web accessibility monitoring activities who want to benchmark or compare the accessibility conformance over time." Howard suggests replacing with "Web accessibility monitoring *entities* who want to benchmark... 14:41:41 [[Web accessibility monitoring activities who want to benchmark or compare the accessibility conformance over time.]] 14:42:07 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#purpose 14:42:08 Sharron: Could you say "web accessibility monitors..." and leave off activities or entitities 14:43:10 +1 to Shawn it needs to be a person noun to be parallel 14:43:25 Shawn: Or evaluators? 14:44:09 Wayne: yes that's fine 14:44:20 Web accessibility evaluators who want to benchmark or compare the accessibility conformance over time. 14:44:40 Web accessibility monitors\ who want to benchmark or compare the accessibility conformance over time. 14:44:54 Shadi: we were thinking of the need to keep it general - you could monitoring your own site over time and there are also monitors of many web sites (like UN survey) etc 14:48:55 Shadi: This is a controversial subject, the scoring aspect. So even though it is course and not necessarily precisely accurate, it does show progress over time. Others take a different position. We will meet with WCAG-WC on Tuesday morning and if EO wants to send representation, you are welcome to join. 14:49:24 Wayne: So what is the basis to consider the scoring has meaning, validity? 14:49:52 Shawn: Have to call tangent on this. 14:50:19 Shadi: EO was gentle this time...what did you see this round? 14:50:28 Shawn: It is much better. 14:50:50 Sharron: I agree, the document is better. 14:51:52 -AnnaBelle 14:52:18 +AnnaBelle 14:53:03 Shawn: The issue for documents like this is to balance the technical aspects with clarity of language. Are we at this point now? That we have confidence in the technical and formal aspects and take a pass for readability? 14:53:27 Shadi: Yes, this is what we have expected all along. If there are those kinds of pointers, I am looking for that from EO 14:54:04 ...and pople can send their own comments without EO consensus. 14:54:14 zakim, ack me 14:54:14 unmuting Howard 14:54:14 Sharron: But today is the deadline. 14:54:15 I see no one on the speaker queue 14:54:37 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#step2d 14:54:46 Howard: There was one thing that looks to me like a glaring mistake. 14:55:18 ...it says methodology requirement in a way different form all others 14:55:26 zakim, mute me 14:55:26 Howard should now be muted 14:55:41 Shawn: It's a typo, good catch put it into that wiki section 14:55:50 Topic: Easy Checks updates 14:56:34 https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Easy_Checks#Overall 14:57:39 Shawn: Thanks to Sylvie and Vicki and to AnnaBelle who looked at Easy Checks open issues 14:59:09 zakim, mute me 14:59:09 Shadi should now be muted 14:59:45 Shawn: First is the instructions for Windows/Mac...suggestions are there. 15:00:04 Sharron: My preference was not strong 15:00:15 I like parens 15:00:31 1 or 2 15:00:43 Shawn: Editor's discretion for 1 or 2? 15:00:50 All: Yes 15:01:34 AnnaBelle: It is important to me that the C is capitalized in Cmd 15:02:13 Eric: Use the command symbol 15:02:16 command 15:02:22 Shawn: Doesn't work with the screen reader 15:02:32 ack me 15:02:35 Unicode for the command symbol is ⌘ 15:03:00 zakim, mute me 15:03:00 EricE should now be muted 15:03:11 15:03:20 ;-) 15:04:11 http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/checks#using 15:04:12 Shawn: Next is the order of using the subsections 15:04:55 ...currently we have Tools, WCAG, practicing with BAD etc...what order should these be in? Different suggestions are posted 15:05:05 https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Easy_Checks#other 15:05:37 to Shawn, this might help with Apple names: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343 15:06:41 Paul: Reads two suggestions for reordering the sub-sections 15:06:56 zakim, who is on the phone? 15:06:56 On the phone I see Shawn, Sharron, Bim (muted), EricE (muted), Shadi (muted), Howard (muted), PaulSchantz, Wayne, AnnaBelle 15:07:02 Sharron: I like Vivki's suggestion 15:07:11 +1 for Vicki’s suggestion 15:07:19 +1 15:07:20 ac k me 15:07:25 ack bim 15:07:25 +1 vor Vicki's suggestion 15:07:27 +1 15:07:37 +1 Vicki 15:07:45 +1 vicki 15:08:15 zakim, mute me 15:08:15 Bim should now be muted 15:08:23 Shawn: We need to have (optional) with the tools in response to public comments 15:09:41 https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Easy_Checks#Basic_Structure_Check 15:09:57 Shawn: and looking now at basic structure... 15:10:03 http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/checks#limgs Images showing linearized and changed display (click to show images) 15:11:08 New version is much better 15:12:40 Shawn: This is a stacked redo of this illustration. Take a look, weigh in about the display - stacked vs not stacked, and should we collapse it? 15:12:57 Annabelle: I like the stacking much better than the table grid 15:13:07 looks great 15:13:11 Sharron: +1 to stacked, collapsed by default 15:13:16 like it 15:13:23 much prefer the stacking 15:13:46 +1 to collapse by default 15:13:53 Wayne: One of the first examples I have been able to read without modification. 15:14:08 AnnaBelle: That's awesome Wayne! 15:14:19 Wayne: I ahve been away a long time and I love these examples 15:14:30 s/ahve/have 15:16:03 Shawn: Where we are with EasyChecks: There are 1 or 2 wording questions from Eric's comments, and other than that I think the comments are all addressed. Remaining things are illustrations. Bottom line with that is for participants to stay in touch. There are a couple of options.: 15:16:39 ...we have published it as a Working Group draft. We had intended to publish a version that is not called a draft by CSUN. 15:17:11 ...option 1 is to work hard, finish illustrations and give everyone a short time to approve and publish it as a version beyond draft by CSUN 15:17:32 ...option 2 is to update what is there and change it to Editor's Draft 15:17:50 Sharron: What is the difference between Editor's Draft and WG Draft? 15:17:58 Shawn: For most of the world, not much 15:18:10 the "published" http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/preliminary.html 15:18:23 AnnaBelle: I really want to finish the illustrations and add to the Published version for CSUN 15:19:02 1. Editor's Draft 15:19:07 2. Working Draft 15:19:11 Shawn: We could move the illustrations into the published draft and chang ethe title to Editor's Draft. If we get EOWG to approve it, it would no longer be a draft at all. 15:19:15 3. done w/o Draft 15:20:08 Sharron: do usability testing before call it done w/o Draft 15:20:23 zakim, ack me 15:20:23 unmuting Howard 15:20:24 I see no one on the speaker queue 15:20:31 +1 15:21:07 Sharron: I would suggest we get to the Edotor's draft stage for sure, and wonder if the usability testing at CSUN might inform our final version. 15:21:10 I like Sharron's idea 15:21:37 AnnaBelle: But we could still change after the usability testing, whether called a draft or not. 15:21:53 Howard: I would not want to publish with the @@ still in there 15:21:58 Shawn: Yes absolutely 15:22:12 Hoard: So what is the advantage for it being a non-draft by CSUN? 15:22:22 Shawn: That is what we need to decide. 15:22:25 q+ 15:22:30 ack s 15:22:40 ack me 15:22:41 Sharron: I am happy to have a very polished draft and do usability testing with that 15:22:52 q+ 15:23:21 it says: "This is a Working Draft approved by the Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG). Please send any suggestions, edits, or comments to the publicly-archived list: wai-eo-editors@w3.org 15:23:22 Status on 20 December 2013: Most of the text content is complete. We are now working on the illustrations, which we plan to finish in early 2014." 15:23:24 Shadi: I think if it is ready for use, we should reflect that in our title, we do not want to send mixed messages. 15:24:00 ...want to be conssitent in our references to document stages and be clear about whether it is ready or not ready for public use 15:24:43 ack a 15:25:23 q+ 15:25:32 zakim, ack me 15:25:32 I see Bim on the speaker queue 15:25:38 zakim, mute me 15:25:38 Howard should now be muted 15:26:02 ack b 15:26:35 AnnaBelle: I do think that rather than the usability test the issue of whether to move the document out of Draft staus, is the question of whether the entire group is happy with the illustrations. If we can move the illustrations to the published version, once the group as a whole is happy with it, it should no longer be a draft. 15:26:36 q+ to reply to Bim 15:27:13 Bim: And the draft status itself may be a distractin. We want people to use it and give feedback without thinking they need to make suggestions for improvement. 15:27:21 ack me 15:27:21 shawn, you wanted to reply to Bim 15:27:39 zakim, mute me 15:27:39 Bim should now be muted 15:28:12 Shawn: I am glad you brought up that point is that if you want people to provide constructive feedback they provide that more readily if they think it is not done. 15:28:32 ok, glad to bow to your greater experience 15:29:08 Shadi: I don't understand where we are. The content is complete, we are only working on illustrations but we want to do usability testing? Is it ready or not? 15:29:32 Shawn: Yes we want people to use it and we have announced that we want them to use it. 15:29:41 Shadi: Why is it a draft? 15:29:41 zakim, mute me 15:29:41 Shadi should now be muted 15:29:54 Shawn: There are still items unresolved 15:30:08 Wayne: We are not going to CSUN iwht @@s are we? 15:30:21 Shawn: Hope not, want to help? 15:30:25 yes 15:30:25 Wayne: OK. 15:30:47 Shawn: Ther eis a link to illustrations inventory. 15:31:21 Sharron: I'll put ATAG outreach on Actions for all 15:31:40 Shawn: need to find a place for brunch on Sunday at CSUN 15:31:59 ...next week look at Images Tutorial, that is a to-do for EVERYONE 15:32:13 ...and thing more about ARIA-Overview and Easy Chacks. 15:32:18 ack me 15:32:19 -PaulSchantz 15:32:21 -AnnaBelle 15:32:21 -Shadi 15:32:23 -Wayne 15:32:24 -Shawn 15:32:26 -Bim 15:32:26 bye everyone 15:32:27 zakim, drop me 15:32:27 EricE is being disconnected 15:32:28 -EricE 15:32:30 s/thing/think 15:32:32 -Howard 15:32:39 trackbot, end meeting 15:32:39 Zakim, list attendees 15:32:39 As of this point the attendees have been Shawn, Sharron, AnnaBelle, Bim, EricE, Shadi, Howard, PaulSchantz, +1.562.256.aaaa, Wayne 15:32:47 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 15:32:47 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/02/28-eo-minutes.html trackbot 15:32:48 RRSAgent, bye 15:32:48 I see no action items
