SL: Presentation on silver prototypes and goals

Shawn Lauriat and Jeanne Spellman

<Lauriat> http://goo.gl/skBX3F

Slide 1 goals for silver

two areas:

content and process/structure

(details on slides)

High priority is easy to update and clear update path

(slide 2) Milestones to date

did research for ~16 months

Design sprint based on research

Drafting requirements document

now working on prototype development and user testing

slide 3 proposed timeline to Rec

possible to reach rec in Q4 2021

slide 4 What are we working on?

contributors use a variety of tools

silver wiki links to everything

<Lauriat> Silver wiki main page, a good starting point for finding information: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/

including requirements, IA, plain language, conformance, and meaningful involvement

meaningful involvement relates to PWD being involved.

slide 5 Revolutionary Structure, evolutionary content

People love WCAG and the advice but the structure is more of a problem

slide 6 prototypes

slide 7 - Info Architecture

goals around usability and maintenance

(details on slide)

slide 8 Info arch continued

not losing content, restructuring

flattening structure to guidelines and methods

slide 9 tags and methods

info for standard is contained in a database, intend to have an API

structure of database not finalized

graphic on slide demonstrates tagging options that may be applied to different guidelines and methods

Slide 10 How WCAG content moves to Silver

principals become tags

guidelines and technology neutral SC become guidelines

technology specific SC and techniques become methods

no more A/AA/AAA levels

SC numbers are deleted - guidelines known by unique handles

Clapierre: How will it work if the levels for different SC are removed?

SL: relates to overall conformance, more details in a bit

clapierre: will there be a scale?

Jeanne: flexibility is a goal, so there will be a scale but not rigid

slide 11 EXample of principles becoming tags

slide 12 Example of SC moving to Silve

Language of page - the human language of the environment can be identified by assistive technology

Parsing SC - becomes a method because it is technology specific

Slide 13 - what this could look like in action

Prototype can't have >1 person using at a time

first prototype is focused on the information architecture

shows guideline 1 - checkboxes allow related methods to be shown

slide 14 - plain language prototype

usability is main goal

Most of WCAG 2.1 just needs to be rewritten in plain language

data needs to be organized in small snippits for easier remixing

slide 15 plain language

experiment with 4 WCAG SC's - asked experts to rewrite

developing style guide also

slide 15 plain language example

used 4.1.2

translated as "make interface semantics and actions accessible for assistive technology" (this is not final language)

slide 16 plain language prototype

demo at https://w3c.github.io/silver/prototypes/PlainLanguage2

SL: Reason for different tabs is to break the concepts down into easier parts. It is still possible to have more technical information but it is not in the default view

JS: Easy example "Section headings"
... includes planning responsibilities to help people understand how to include accessibility in the process
... May be able to include other assets like video into how to info
... Development tab - includes link to EO resources
... Testing and auditing - links to lots of resources. Includes links to methods

in the prototype links to existing techniques

from WCAG 2.1, but will need new ones

One of the challenges for WCAG 2.1 in getting more tests for cognitive accessibility is the pass/fail model for SC
