Andrew: On the survey that we had…in today's call, we'll try to bang through things before DPUB folks come at the top of the hour.
15:08:54 [AWK]
TOPIC: Issue 199
15:10:12 [Lauriat]
Andrew: So, about bookmarks in a PDF, this talks about navigating within a set of web pages, rather than within a single PDF document, so not really appropriate for this. Make it advisory? People voted to accept that response as proposed.
15:10:29 [Lauriat]
Katie: We should make a new technique, broad enough to cover PDFs as well.
15:11:18 [Lauriat]
Andrew: So you want to leave this in place until we have a new technique available?
15:11:56 [Lauriat]
Katie: If this is the only sufficient technique for this, then we shouldn't pull the rug out from under people, and just leave this in its place.
15:12:27 [Lauriat]
Andrew: We have another technique where we decided not to replace it until we had something sufficient and we still haven't done so (from months ago).
15:12:37 [Lauriat]
Katie: I'll volunteer to write this one.
15:12:51 [Lauriat]
Andrew: I don't think this comes up all that often, though?

TOPIC: Issue 200
15:14:32 [Lauriat]
Andrew: On rounding and color contrast issue that we've discussed on the github issue. I've changed my opinion a bit on this: I think there is a simple resolution that this survey item links to. We've got four responses where we've had people saying we should accept as proposed.
15:14:58 [Lauriat]
Andrew: We've got proposals to add zeros to make it clearer that it means without rounding.

15:16:29 [Lauriat]
Andrew: I've put an example here: if you come up with 2.999 and you should have 3.001, you can't notice the difference. But we needed to have a clearly understood rule. Talked with Adobe about this and they could only think of examples in terms of equal or greater than.
15:17:13 [Wilco]
q+
15:17:14 [Ryladog]
q+ just to say I agree with accepting this...
15:17:20 [Lauriat]
JF: Just adding an additional zero…I know we didn't want to make it harder to read, but I don't think I see adding two zeros to make it clear that it means the hundredths place.
15:17:26 [AWK]
ack wil
15:18:40 [Lauriat]
Wilco: I just wanted to add an example: we found one with aXe Core where we had a contrast ration three digits out, and aXe reported a violation, because it didn't meet 4.50 as the contrast ratio. In tools, we do round up, since you want to do some sort of rounding. I agree we don't want a whole lot of discussion on this.

15:20:23 [Lauriat]
Steve: Speaking as an engineer: I agree with what you said, Andrew, that the math matters. You need to make a decision on how to round or leave it up to the tool. I'd say the latter. If you want to round to eight or three significant digits, that'd fine. No other real way to interpret greater than or equal to.

Andrew: Does what we have in the understanding document clarify? Is the problem Wilco brought up still be a problem given that?
15:22:06 [Lauriat]
JF: The problem we'll have will come from a legal compliance issue. Will someone notice the difference at that small of a threshold?
15:22:15 [Lauriat]
Wilco: I think the clarification helps a lot.
15:22:27 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Sounds like all okay with this? Any objections as proposed?
15:22:48 [AWK]
"The 7:1 and 4.5:1 contrast ratios referenced in this Success Criteria are intended to be treated as threshold values. When comparing the computed contrast ratio to the Success Criteria ratio the computed values should not be rounded but instead the comparison should performed using standard rules for significant figures."

15:25:11 [Ryladog]

15:25:25 [Lauriat]

+1 to adding clarifiying example also
15:26:21 [Lauriat]
Steve: If you say 4.50 and then say its an absolute line, it contradicts (at least confuses) itself.
15:26:42 [Lauriat]
Josh: Is this a little oranges and apples? Talking floats vs. standard integers and not comparing like and like?
15:27:33 [Lauriat]
Andrew: I agree we can just get rid of that latter part, that's not a problem.
15:27:35 [JF]
Isn't that why we would want to add a zero

15:27:48 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Any other comments if we add that example?
15:27:52 [jon_avila]

Katie: Works for me.
15:28:17 [AWK]
proposal is to remove sig fig part of sentence and add Mike's example.
15:28:37 [Lauriat]
JF: Can we see the whole thing as proposed?
15:29:16 [AWK]
The 7:1 and 4.5:1 contrast ratios referenced in this Success Criteria are intended to be treated as threshold values. When comparing the computed contrast ratio to the Success Criteria ratio the computed values should not be rounded (eg. 4.499:1 would not meet the 4.5:1 threshold).

TOPIC: Issue 232
15:31:52 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Michael points out this has two issues: a bad link and a suggestion for another link. James made the point that we shouldn't add links to anything on blogs, since unstable.
15:32:12 [Lauriat]
Andrew: If a bad link on the webpage, we should clearly remove it. Should we replace it?
15:32:26 [Lauriat]
Andrew: …and now, of course, the link resolves.
15:32:41 [Lauriat]
JF: Why do we link to things outside of our control?
15:32:57 [Lauriat]

15:33:11 [Lauriat]

Katie: Good idea. Then we can point to our tutorials.
15:34:00 [AWK]
ack mic
15:34:03 [Lauriat]
JF: Pointing to a useful resource, but the fact that we don't have something internal seems to me that we have a gap. We can point to EO and highlight it.
15:35:34 [Lauriat]
Michael: Point of information: as far as broken links go, we always have to fix broken links when updating documentation, which I do simply by removing them. Not unusual to simply remove links that go stale, so we shouldn't get too wound up about this one in the context of a public comment. We have I think at least a thousand external links and should just deal with the issue of broken links in the simplest way possible.

15:39:52 [Lauriat]
Michael: Pretty big scope, so we need to recognize that and that things should change. [ed: +1] Not sure what needs to go into the plan around that, but we need to document that the plan may change as things go through the process. We may need to add in more language around minimizing craziness. Then: Checkpoints for the WG.
15:40:31 [jeanne]
Silver SubGroup did add WCAG WG Checkpoints, if you refresh the page.
15:40:46 [Lauriat]
Michael: We'll need several points through the process where the group reports back to the WG on progress made at various places throughout, not sure exactly where. Last: We should go through the TF creation process for this.
15:41:07 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Laura, you had a similar comment around where the WG is involved.
15:41:23 [Lauriat]
Laura: Yeah, basically the same as Michael's comment on that.

q+ to say that the WCAG WG Checkpoints have been added to the process
15:42:10 [Lauriat]
Andrew: The research and initial drafting I expect would take place in the TF, but at some point, likely when 2.1 it done, then there is no longer two big projects and only have one big project, we'd likely have greater merging around the efforts at that time.

15:44:06 [Lauriat]
Michael: I feel like a few of the earlier checkpoints will basically just send a report, not necessarily with a sign-off needed, but I'm inclined to think that we should have a sign-off on all points.

Agreed
15:45:43 [Lauriat]
JF: "…likely when 2.1 is done…" - that assumes that 2.1 includes all of the SC that we have and leave no work remaining to do.
15:47:28 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Not specifying exactly what will happen in the group, and that we can't adjust what will happen in the group with respect to the process for Silver. This process (Phase 1, Phase2, etc.), it gets to somewhere around Phase 3 where we'll have 2.1 out the door. It could turn out that at that point, we have to look at things that would go into a 2.2 and a rechartering process that says we'll look at 2.2 and Silver and each of these at some timeline.
15:47:59 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Valid question, I don't think that this process for Silver affects 2.2. Does my clarify things?

16:06:43 [Lauriat]
Andrew: There's two different timelines we're talking about: techniques (non-normative) every six months, and we have an internal timeline where we need content submitted and approved to meet the given dates. Generally, we target a release just before CSUN and another six months later. Generally: due in end of May (for that given release), resolve comments, publish.
16:07:51 [Lauriat]
Andrew: The way we've been doing this for the techniques and understanding documents, being tight on the timeline in principle, but if not much going in a given bit and the group has time to process maybe a week after the deadline, that can be okay. Ah: mid-November due for the CSUN one, finalized by mid-December.
16:08:39 [Lauriat]
Andrew: For 2.1, we ask the TFs to have SC in by December 1. From there, we'll produce (the WG will work on ) a FPWD in early February, pending the membership accepting the charter so that we can publish that.
16:08:57 [Lauriat]
Andrew: We can point you to the github materials with the format of that.

16:12:34 [Lauriat]
Andrew: Somewhere in the last six months of our charter, we'll make a firm decision (maybe before then) as to whether we'll make a 2.2 or whether we've made enough progress to just go to the next big thing.

16:13:55 [Lauriat]
Georges: What we'd like to talk about with SC for web publication (a fairly broad term): with EPUB especially which includes offline, we'd like to focus on the online, web publication made up of a collection of online documents, with SC around those web publications.

Q+ to seek clarity on "document" versus "document collection"
16:15:07 [Lauriat]
George: Chapter 2 comes after Chapter 1, you can move through the document. Another SC: you can navigate documents through their structure (so: level 1 heading followed by level 2, etc.), relating to the relative ease of navigating through the document.
16:16:02 [Lauriat]
George: Relating to schema.org…with EPUB 3, identifying metadata relating to the web publication as a whole to allow people to determine whether this publication is something they could use successfully.
16:16:05 [Ryladog]
+1 to using schema.org or other metadata
16:16:50 [Lauriat]
George: That textual content could be converted to audio via TTS, to Braille, and support the visual presentation. If the whole document could be consumed in that way, we'd know that it's accessible.
16:17:31 [AWK]
s/Chapter 2 comes after Chapter 1/First SC idea relates to proper reading order for the whole document - Chapter 2 comes after Chapter 1
16:17:37 [AWK]
ack awk
16:17:39 [Lauriat]
George: Web publications, having a whole document with logical reading order, and having metadata relating to the publication. We didn't want to overload at the beginning, but start with fundaments to the group.
16:18:17 [Joshue108_]
Those suggestions don't seem different from 2.4.3 and 3.2.3?
16:18:26 [Joshue108_]
The first 2 anyway...
16:18:56 [Lauriat]
Andrew: I think the metadata one is definitely the most different. The first two, I wonder whether WCAG doesn't already cover these. In an EPUB document, whether that counts as a web page or multiple web pages. If you have an EPUB doc on the web, do you access this through one URI for the entire package, or separate URIs for each part within the package?
16:20:49 [Lauriat]
(Caller10): You've got a single identifier for the entire package, and then many different URIs (resources, manifest, navigation, spine (list of HTML files referenced), all linked within the package). On the web, how that'll work is still under development. Today, we have websites that've created their own mechanism for rendering publications (some work well, others not so well), but having a logical reading order is essential.
16:21:43 [Lauriat]
Charles: Considering the whole thing as a package that's accessible from the web is one of those gaps. We just want to see if we can create some SC here to help define what is useful.

JF, you wanted to seek clarity on "document" versus "document collection"
16:23:09 [Lauriat]
JF: Wanted to ask about differences between a document and a document collection. We talked earlier on the call about bookmarks in a PDF file, so there's a technique here. Is there a different between a singular document or a document collection, as there may be different requirements for these, depending.
16:23:16 [Joshue108_]
Good question John
16:23:18 [clapierre]
Yes that is the Accessibility Note Andrew.
16:24:59 [Lauriat]
(Caller10): When Daisy consortium looked at a (for example) 900-page document counting as a single document, which crashed everything. So having multiple components making up a single publication, everyone agrees that we have to go that way. But it ultimately makes up a single publication. In the context of an LMS, when a professor wants to give students access to a collection of documents that ultimately make up one paper. We see this in the WHO compre[CUT]

16:26:07 [Lauriat]
Katie: When we look at web pages today, they're a collection of pages all relating to something. The standard speaks to metadata around this. This fits very nicely, we just need to figure out how to do it.

16:29:12 [Lauriat]
Andrew: EPUB on the web is on the edge of that, depending on the implementation. But it sounds like an EPUB on the web accessed via a single URI would constitute a single web page. We need to clarify this for those referencing this, though. Is this new SC or new techniques? How can we, in the future, avoid this kind of confusion by acknowledging content presented in different forms.
16:29:43 [Lauriat]
Josh: What's our definition of embedded, then? Is, with EPUB, each piece within the wrapper an embedded piece of content?
16:30:53 [Ryladog]
q+
16:31:11 [Lauriat]
(Caller10): Many of the problems we've had relate to the zip container. We believe that it should be identical or round-trip-able (online/offline). A new standard for publications, maybe EPUB 4, not yet chartered, but we already see content published on the web that would benefit from WCAG guidance.
