"Q&A" taken up [from KimPatch_] 15:07:48 + +1.408.425.aaaa 15:07:53 zakim, take up next 15:07:53 agendum 1 was just opened, KimPatch 15:08:05 Topic: 82 15:08:46 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/G162 15:09:02 Topic: G 162 15:09:46 Jan: looks good except uses the word before and the point of the changes that we want to position the labels above 15:09:51 +1 15:09:53 suggestion: "smaller screens, positioning the labels above the field avoids horizontal scrolling and also increases the likelihood that a user using the zoom feature will be able to view both label and control." 15:09:58 Kathy: good catch, I'll go back and change 15:11:05 John: width? 15:11:07 Andrew: ignore previous suggestion 15:11:13 shebanek_ has joined #mobile-a11y 15:11:19 Andrew: sentence before, instead of screen magnifier, zoom features would be more generic 15:12:02 Kathy: other suggestions? 15:12:16 Andrew: on smaller width screens 15:12:38 Kathy: other changes? 15:14:27 discussing description change 15:15:22 Topic: M2 15:15:22 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/M2 15:15:53 Kathy: this is an advisory under 2.1.1 and 1.4.4, about providing adequate text size 15:19:09 The horizontal distance between labels and fields is best minimized to assist users with low vision and cognitive disabilities to make the association between the label and the field and to promote the label and field appearing in the view when content is zoomed. 15:19:22 Mike: invention of swiping left and right was the solution for this. That someone were to try to solve this for iOS you could actually create a larger text element because they would overlap something else. 15:19:47 Kathy: will send this back – remove direction, focus on web content as far as touch sizes go 15:20:25 Kathy: will ask for clarification any time we are referencing something we need the research. 15:20:36 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1085 15:21:01 Andrew: MIT study average human finger tip 8-10 millimeters 15:21:21 Kathy: we can go back and ask Alan and more questions on that 15:21:46 Mike: looking for the center of the touch area and trying to apply to the touch target 15:23:10 Andrew: is this an accessibility issue 15:23:26 Jan: such targets on a map – always zooming in and out and part of expected use 15:24:11 Kathy: between an advisory and a sufficient technique this is an advisory technique so is this something that we should steer away from – what falls under an advisory technique versus what would be under WCAG at all 15:24:46 q+ 15:25:39 Andrew: advisory is new. This one feels gray enough. I don't object to the idea of having an advisory technique that surround this. But I think if someone said applying the same criteria to other techniques if you don't do it you would fail a WCAG success criteria the answer would probably have to be no. I'm not sure what it would fail, because it impacts anyone using the content and not... 15:25:41 ...just a disability. It fits well in Apple's guidelines – doesn't say that it's an accessibility issue, just that people need this 15:26:20 Jon: advisory techniques not just things that may be supported the things that go beyond – example G 162 it's not required to meet the success criteria but it can be mapped to a particular success criteria – it goes above and beyond 15:26:53 Jon: would be difficult to test because devices have different size screens. Other option is if we made it a best practice we don't have to have tests 15:27:14 Kathy: is there a best practice right now under WCAG 15:27:40 Andrew: advisory techniques are best practices 15:28:07 Kathy: we'd originally mapped it to principle 2.1.1 or 1.4.4, then principal to because it didn't really fit under any of them 15:28:27 Jon: reading definition – it would be okay to have an advisory technique that wasn't testable 15:29:01 Andrew: what would make it testable is if you said okay I'm using an iPhone 6+ and a nexus 7 – criteria would have to be ratcheted down to the point where you can say this is how it's done 15:29:48 Jan: instead of specifying type of device, for the mobile thing we are going to a 5 inch screen versus say a 1 inch watch screen which is also a type of mobile device. if you design it for the 5 inch screen is going to be too small on the 1 inch screen. 15:30:12 Kathy: that gets to the organization as far as what's at supporting – they may say you're not supporting the watch, just this particular platform. We have to be careful there 15:31:28 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Technique_Development_Assignments 15:32:18 Yes! 15:32:33 Andrew: The big question that I have is how do we attach this to WCAG as an advisory technique – where in the guideline success criteria do we attach that. And I don't think there's anyone is going to disagree that it's something that we want to make sure that we are communicating as a best practice. Our challenge is where it goes. I wanted to go against principal two. But as you dive into... 15:32:35 ...the guideline level, it's not just about making it work with a keyboard it's about making it work with your finger. This is highlighting a gap that we have in WCAG to as far as success criteria that allow us to attach to something like that. 15:32:55 Andrew, thank you for joining these calls. 15:33:09 Kathy: we have several like that – M 2, 4, 7 all fall into the same category that were talking about now 15:33:47 Andrew: it makes sense to show this is the best practice in the mobile space 15:34:29 Kathy: maybe we should put these on hold, have the WCAG group discuss them, figure out what direction. These are sticking points. I don't the implication of writing these was clear until we started writing. 15:34:51 Kathy: some sort of guidance – where could those go and should they be under WCAG 15:35:07 Tim has joined #mobile-a11y 15:35:13 Andrew: that would be good for the working group to talk about when we meet and talk about this at the face-to-face so we can have clarity 15:39:20 Kathy: deadline coming up. If people can take preferably ones that are sufficient technique and get them done that would be appreciated 15:39:47 The horizontal distance between labels and fields is best minimized to assist users with low vision and cognitive disabilities to make the association between the label and the field and to promote the label and field appearing in the view when content is zoomed. 15:39:48 Jon: I updated G162 on the wiki 15:40:24 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/G162 15:40:50 Topic: G 162 15:41:00 Kathy: any objections to accepting as amended 15:41:48 Kathy: updating on wiki 15:41:49 RESOLUTION: send G162 to working group 15:42:10 Kathy: other comments? We will not have meeting next week because of TPAC 15:42:23 Kathy: hoping people can work on techniques in those two weeks and have a lot ready for November 6 15:42:31 -jon_avila 15:42:32 -Jan 15:42:38 -Jeanne 15:43:39 - +1.408.425.aaaa 15:43:41 -AWK 15:44:22 -Kim_Patch 15:44:25 -Kathy_Wahlbin 15:44:26 WAI_MATF()11:00AM has ended 15:44:26 Attendees were Kim_Patch, Kathy_Wahlbin, Jeanne, AWK, Jan, jon_avila, +1.408.425.aaaa 17:11:49 jeanne has joined #mobile-a11y 17:14:33 Jan_ has joined #mobile-a11y 17:50:07 KimPatch has joined #mobile-a11y 17:51:55 rrsagent, make minutes 17:51:55 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/10/23-mobile-a11y-minutes.html KimPatch 17:52:54 rrsagent, bye 17:52:54 I see no action items
