DS: Best thing is to decide what we are trying to accomplish - break down our work into different goals.
16:45:57 [chaals]
i/LS: e.g./scribe: chaals/
16:46:02 [LJWatson]
+1 to identifying goals.
16:46:09 [chaals]
… one thing will be identifying use cases
16:46:17 [chaals]
[+1 to identifying goals]
16:46:46 [chaals]
… some aspects of use cases will lead to requirements for users that are fulfilled by authoring practice, some by adding features to SVG or ARIA, some will crossover
16:46:57 [chaals]
… Some will be requirements on user agents.
16:47:08 [chaals]
… It is relatively easy to identify the features needed by a screenreader
16:47:28 [chaals]
[For the record I don't think it is that easy with a screenreader either, but doug's point is still valid]
16:47:58 [chaals]
… There are different kinds of requirement, and we need to be able to work out how to handle the range of them - e.g. signalling user requirements and use profiles
16:48:16 [chaals]
LS: We have been working on doing this client-side to pull out the things people want without giving away their privacy / security
16:48:27 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Plumbing Potential Features:
16:48:27 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Media Query feature that says to expose features of a given importance level or higher
16:48:29 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Need the ability to group sections of a diagram together with a defined keyboard navigation order
16:48:30 [chaals]
[+1 to making sure you don't identify how easy it is to trick you in a certain way…]
16:48:30 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Ability to highlight content with their associated visual descriptions
16:48:32 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Ability to annotate the importance level
16:48:33 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Need alternative, alternative text for people with cognitive impairments
16:48:35 [richardschwerdtfeger]
We need an aria-nonliteral attribute (takes a string). See the example above. (Note: Lisa, what do you want the user agent or author to do with this. e.g. if there was a media query that stated that non-literals are used instead ... render it some how)
16:48:36 [richardschwerdtfeger]
We need less icons but make them bigger. ...?
16:48:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
We need to be able to pull in information about a picture that is pulled in from somewhere else. (To Do for Lisa to expand on this)
16:48:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Ability to tie colors to semantic meaning?
16:48:52 [chaals]
DS: So how do we want to approach this stuff. Do we need a longer conversation?
16:48:54 [richardschwerdtfeger]
q?
16:49:16 [chaals]
LS: I heard two things. One, identify the goals. 2. We need to understand the user experience and what it needs to be.
16:49:35 [chaals]

… we can add alternate content and similar metadata of various kinds.
16:52:33 [chaals]
… We will need some of these things for SVG drawings. They are not necessarily important for assistive technology using accessibility APIs but it does impact the accessibility of the user experience.
16:52:37 [Lisa_Seeman]
LS: I heard two things. One, identify the goals. 2. We need to understand the user experience and what it needs to be. 3. how the user comuntes their need

16:57:05 [LJWatson]
Chaals: If you have an attribute that says this content doesn't contain numbers, I think that's the wrong way around. We should try to identify *when content contains numbers. There's a lower risk of false positives, and it's easier to accomplish.

16:58:51 [LJWatson]
