Clean up "Background" section for published rules #515

Wilco, explains to me how to scribe

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/515

<Wilco_> https://www.w3.org/TR/act-rules-format/#background

Wilco, the new format demands more than just links, it needs an explanation to why the link is relevant, we currently don't do that.

<jon_avila> what is the WebEx password?

Wilco, a solution to this would be to add a little explainer before the links

<jon_avila> thanks

Anne, asks about other things than links to WCAG techniques, should we have a section for that too?

Wilco, suggests a miscellaneous section

Wilco, and Brian will work on a proposal for the explainer texts

Negative formulation #467

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/467

Audrey, explains the issue and the suggestion. The suggestion is to only write in a positive form to reduce ambiguity.

<Wilco_> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/2779a5

<Wilco_> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/2779a5#expectation-2

Anne, also notes that the human brian has problems with picking up the word "not"

Audrey, and Jey will work together on working on rewording the rules

Updating the new website some more #476

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/476

Wilco, asks the group what the highest priorities are on the TODO list

Anne, mentions that getting the website accessible should probably be a priority

Shadi, Currently we are mainly concentrating on the information architecture instead of the visual design

Jey, will got to the list next week and will prioritise accessibility issues and some other things

Wilco, the aim is to get this done by the end of the month

Updating the rules format #472

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/472

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/488

Wilco, FYI: there is an open pull request to get the rules up to speed with the new format

Adding a changelog to rules #458

Anne, Kaspar has promised to write some guidelines to write PR comments so those can be scraped to generate a changelog. That has not been done yet, but we should also write code to scrape that and that will be more work. Wilco and Kaspar will communicate about this next week.

Passing test cases need to meet the accessibility requirement #546

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/546

<Wilco_> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/5b7ae0

<Wilco_> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/5b7ae0#inapplicable-example-3

Wilco, correct implementations of the rules requires that test cases produce the same results which would be hard to do because some of the test cases don't comply to WCAG. We have passing or inapplicable test cases that don't sattisfy the SC they are testing.

Wilco, the proposal is to write passing and inapplicable test cases that pass the SC and to write failed test cases that only fail the test they are depicting, not a second one.

<jon_avila> I agree with Wilco's comments on fails/passing aligning and failure test cases should be clear on failure

Shadi, and Brian don't completly agree with Wilco and made some arguments

Anne, and Jon Avila agree with Wilco and make some arguments for it

How do I stop this scribing process?
