Workshop Updates

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: is attending the workshop on data models for transportation workshop.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (is going to be providing accessibility examples and advice)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Looking to develop schemas that consider accessibility requirements.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (one good example is providing the ability to pay via the app, to negate currency issues. Other issues include communicating users' accessibility needs to drivers in advance of a ride)

https://www.w3.org/auto/events/data-ws-2019/

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: It's a good thing to identify users' needs in advance. Could there be a risk of discrinmation however?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Perhaps the needs could be communicated after acceptance?

Task Force Updates

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: TFs are represented in the TPAC agenda well, and as much as possible.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: A meeting with COGA regarding the correct identification of symbollic and sign languages (i.e. ISO codes) has been recently added to the schedule.

<Zakim> joanie, you wanted to ask if we need to coordinate re CSS

<Matthew_Atkinson> Joanie: CSS discussion was mentioned, relevant to this topic.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: (wanted to check if we're happy with the agenda for the talk around CSS)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: the order of the agenda for the hour isn't yet fully decided; need to look into this.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: the meeting will be in the CSS room, so the WebEx logistics will be those for that room.

<IanPouncey> https://github.com/w3c/css-aam/issues/3

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: Re creation of CSS AAM, Joanie has volunteered to be a co-editor; need another, ideally from the CSS group.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: This is the biggest issue; expect to take up to 50% of the meeting (less if all are in agreement).

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (asks about the time on deciding /what/ needs to be mapped to the accessibility APIs.)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (suggests we focus on recruiting in this discussion)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: what expertise do we need in order to decide on the row labels for the AAM table (i.e. what needs to be mapped)?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Joanie: Direction on that needed from CSS. We already have some contacts that may be used to help populate the table, agrees the main issue is the /what/ that needs to be mapped. May find differing opinions on what the end-user experience needs to be. There already are things that are exposed. E.g. if a screen-reader developer feels they need some information exposed, they file an issue on the browser, and this has happened, but is not stan[CUT]

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: (notes that one of the links from the above issue is an issue in the CSS repo that presents a good example of a driver for AAM - text transform)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Joanie: What goes in an AAM is how to expose X to ATK, UIA, ... - however, in the case of text transforms, the text has already been exposed as being all-caps, so this may not be a good example of an accessibility-specific thing to map.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: May need to discuss further with CSS, this was something that contributed to starting the discussion.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (suggests a specific agendum for text transforms, to continue this discussion; Joanie agrees)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: Gap analysis of CSS speech

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (suggests 5min for this, to summarise the gap analysis; Ian agrees)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: Mechanism for controlling animation. Is CSS the right place to afford this? Details as to how could be a longer discussion.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: CSS provides many features for authors. Could also provide features for users to control presentation - the example of animation control being a good one.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: this started being thought of as a vision issue; also is cognitive.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: another example is abilty to mute sounds.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: we need not put this in WCAG, as a regulatory solution, seems that it should be possible to adopt a technological solution. Other examples include controlling interlinear and inter-word spacing (including punctuation).

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: (suggests 20min; Janina agrees)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Ian: Clarify effect of list styling on speech output.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (suggested the issue; suggests it can be dropped; allows more room for other topics; could revisit if time)

<Zakim> Joshue108_, you wanted to ask about co-ord with TAG at TPAC

<Matthew_Atkinson> Josh: (TAG presence being organised)

Matthew: posted to the list a possible process for reviewing the HTML spec updates;
... there is a substantial amount to review (so large git can’t preview)

Matthew: if the proposed process looks good - I can take a stab at implementing
