Silver Requirements

<scribe> New draft of Requirements: https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/

<KimD> The 2.0 abstract does say "WCAG 2.0 success criteria are written as testable statements that are not technology-specific.

<kirkwood> sounds fine to me

<kirkwood> its nicer and shows depth

<kirkwood> I like onramp

<kirkwood> introduction is fine too

<kirkwood> I don’t see how a standard can not be technology neutral

<kirkwood> html is a standard though

<kirkwood> so extend the standard, in essence. i see the core be neutral. I see what you are saying

<kirkwood> makes sens

<kirkwood> sens/sense

<kirkwood> Agreed. That is what facilitates innovation.

<kirkwood> I was just worred about how specify technolgy turns people away from innovation

<mikeCrabb> MikeCrabb : I like the idea of having these different 'flavours' of what the silver guidelines could be. There would be a general 'core' version and then dependant on what technology a person was looking at there could be different options that people could enable to see specific advice

<mikeCrabb> ... one of the issues with current WCAG is that there are Guidelines linking to Success Criteria linking to Techniques, so as a user you have to go quite deep in order to get to it. So in part, this is just another way of changing the view that people see

slide deck with prototypes for a11yTO

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1EJN_KTXD0NaGGpNrwAf3i3idA-k1A0QR6Ctbk0re3nE/edit#slide=id.g3ca1179f10_0_45

<mikeCrabb> jeanne: will be doing a presentation Thursday night at accessibility Toronto. Slide No 14 has a new section called prototypes

<mikeCrabb> ... added in what is happening with plain language, one for IA. We are looking for 3-6 prototypes for what silver can look like and members are looking at existing work for ideas to go forward

<mikeCrabb> ... one thing we haven't talked about is how to get silver to be scalable and how to get accessibility experts to add their own code/design patterns etc.

<mikeCrabb> ... this is something that a lot of people got excited about last year, but as we're going back this is something that we should be talking about too

<mikeCrabb> ...related to IA as we need to know how this can work and see if anyone wants to come and work on it

<mikeCrabb> ... conformance. Only a proposal, not a decision.

<mikeCrabb> https://w3c.github.io/silver/

MikeCrabb: It would be very helpful to have IA prototypes.

Roy: I could share this with the China Accessibility Community Group. THen I could bring their ideas to the Silver Task Force.
... there are Community Groups for other countries. Use those to contact people who are interested in accessibility.

Jeanne: Jemma, do you have contacts in the Korean Accessibility Community? Could you ask people to work on a prototype?

ideas for China work

Jeanne: I will look for the draft of the invitation email that we worked on and update it.
