Cognitive Accessibility User Research describes the challenges of using

web technologies for users with learning disabilities or cognitive

disabilities. This basis will support subsequent documents that will

suggest potential strategies to improve accessibility for these user

groups, and identify gaps in the features of current technologies and

guidelines to fulfill those strategies. The research includes

challenges in the areas of attention, executive function,

knowledge, language language, literacy, memory,

perception, and reasoning.

It describes the user groups of the

following disabilities: Aging-Related Cognitive Decline, Aphasia,

Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Down Syndrome,

<scribe> scribe: neilmilliken

Michael Cooper - think that we are ok on the abstract.

review of actions - including identifying user strategies and cognitive function table

LS any objections?

No objections raised

Lisa Seeman nags Neil to Add Dyscalculia techniques and write issue paper

<MichaelC> New COGA repository - edit in ¨master¨ branch, not the side branch like in the other repository

Planning a session with EA Draffan and Abi James to work on the Issue papers on Numbers

Michael Cooper looking in to giving access for editing via the new Git hub repository

MC has restructured the repository

Users need to give MC their Git hub account to get edit access

steps for editors draft. Abstract.

Nex Item is techniques and we dont have the quorum for the discussion today

LS wants to encourage people to leverage research that is out there. Neilsen have published research report on usability for seniors can I cite it or will that cause problems with copy right.

MC if cited normally there should not be a problem but we should probably be careful.

We need to be more careful citing non public resources it needs to be done in a specific way.

LS where can we gather more techniques?

Techniques

I had 2 more suggestions for issue papers

LS there was 1 on being able to interchange components

<Chaohai_Ding> I also discuss with EA about using the Linked Data for interlinking the symbols

LS we had an example of a media player that is very easy to use, would it be possible to replace one video player with another - does anyone else know of any other ways that this might be done. What about user style sheets for CSS

LS another paper we could do with having is one about protecting people from scammers and abusers online. Risk to people of getting them online and opening them up to potential parasites and scams

MC we could ask the security working group about best practices

<Lisa_Seeman> not just me having zakim issues

LS requests that the MC contact the security WG

<janina> My apologies for being so noisy today

<Tim> +1

Agreement from all on call that this was desireable.

LS Raises the question of Face to face

Janina venue and dates keep morphing may be in London or Seattle some time in April

London would be good for me

I could supply room in London

<Chaohai_Ding> +1

MC for publication checks I have to check for broken links and I found a couple of broken links.

I need to remove any that we cannot fix

MC we can flag where links have been removed

<Tim> what happens if links become out of date (shoudl we have a note)?

LS Agree with Neil we do want to fix the links.

MC will send the list of links to the mailing list.

MC its difficult when publishing on the web to know how long stuff will stay current. We must assume that at time of publication all material is up to date - it is harder to predict how long it will stay that way after publication.

<Chaohai_Ding> not for me

<Tim> no

Agreed to try to fix what we can and then remove temporarily for publication allowing us time to revisit and fix for next iteration

Expected publication on thursday

<Chaohai_Ding> Thanks

<Chaohai_Ding> bye
