<una> Scribenick, bkardell_

una: "we discussed how badges, pills and tags might be different - and I'd like to talk about and see if we can agree about how to define and arrange them

una: which ones should we group and which ones should we have research and proposals around?

una: One thing I noticed in "badges" is that they are often numeric - things like in your inbox or messages. This seems different than what is in the pills research page that is more like "important" or something. I want to propose that badge and pills are two differnt kinds of components we could define - I dont know if those are the right names - but are they the same semantic use case or diff

<hdv> +1 to if it is a value like a number it's different from a label

<una> bkardell_: question--when you define semantics to disucss semantics, in ARIA terms is there a difference?

<una> bkardell_: maybe in some cases, when you talk semantics, is it how we agree to discuss them or to a user is ther a difference

una: I think in this case... when I think of aria roles or connections to an element... it depends. In a website I was putting together there were little indicators of "these are for beginners" and there are other ones where it is like "you have N unread messages" and I do think there is some different aria difference there

<una> bkardell_: might be an interesting excersize to build them and see what the ARIA would look like

<una> bkardell_: is this something you would intuit or would there be semantic differences?

<una> bkardell_: unclear if they would be the same or different

una: I think with badges there needs to be some link to something else that they describe - not a sort of disconnected floating value... something that provides more context. Right now I think we are seeing a disconnect between like "4" - that requires some semantic link to what it is 4 of, but that's different from some kind of content inline that is more like just a span tag that is styled

hdv: you are convincing me una. There are other things like, like a count - that might be like a live region even and need live updating even

una: I would like to propose a resolution that we have a difference between badges and tags that they are semantically different and we should define the differences

+1 that we should define the differences

una: I think we should also resolve to use badge and tag based on the discussion last week that other things like 'pill' describe a look and feel

<hdv> +1 to both

+1 to both

<zahnster> +1 to both

<melanierichards> +1, I joined late but these words make sense to me

<silverdust> +1

<una> Proposed Resolution: Badges and Tags are unique in their semantic usage, we will define the differences

<una> Proposed Resolution: Chips and Pills are style-based naming conventions, these will fall under Tags

Resolution: Badges and Tags are unique in their semantic usage, we will define the differences

Resolution: Chips and Pills are style-based naming conventions, these will fall under Tags

<una> https://github.com/WICG/open-ui/issues/278

una: so the question is whether we want a full definition proposal or just research here...

una: this one is interesting because I think definitions come from research, and that is something we should continue to follow.. So what I would like to see is that we start with research and at the end of that we can decide about whether we need more

+1 to una's

<una> Tabs Research: https://github.com/WICG/open-ui/pull/271

<una> bkardell_: open Tabs research PR, block of text, let's land and then chisel away / adjust

<Zakim> hdv, you wanted to say maybe in a badge it would be something that can change and needs updating (think aria-live), whereas with a 'tag' you would not ?

<una> davatron5000: i think we need some styling changes to the website to make the research pages more digestible

<una> una: IA workshop next week for this time

<davatron5000> preview URL for tabs research https://deploy-preview-271--open-ui.netlify.app/components/tabs.research.parts

<una> bkardell_: different organizations, ie Igalia, use taskforces, should we use a taskforce for this

<una> una: we discussed 2 sessions ago to use this time slot to do the IA workshop overview

<Zakim> melanierichards, you wanted to talk about popup

<una> melanierichards: next steps to port everything over to OpenUI space

<una> melanierichards: havent had a chance yet but will work on this w/chairs soon

<una> melanierichards: WhatWG triage presentation of <popup> today

<una> melanierichards: after incubating proposal here, WhatWG is next step

<una> melanierichards: week after IA discussion

<una> melanierichards: anchor bogged down currently, after CSSWG discussion, need to have 1-off discussion about that, need to get explainer out

<una> una: open the issues in OpenUI & discuss here

<una> una: to prevent getting bogged down and push it forward

<una> discussion around popup vs. popover, to open issue in OpenUI and discuss furter

Summary of resolutions

  1. Badges and Tags are unique in their semantic usage, we will define the differences
  2. Chips and Pills are style-based naming conventions, these will fall under Tags
