18:13:05 [jamesn]
Matt_King: are there WHCM changes in this that model the thermostat slider one
18:13:10 [jamesn]
jongund: these are old now
18:13:28 [jamesn]
Matt_King: are there WHCM bugs now that there is SVG here
18:13:40 [jamesn]
Matt_King: don't have to fix in this PR
18:13:42 [CurtBellew]
For some reason I'm not able to get the Call details link in the email to work. Could someone please provide the URL?
18:13:51 [jamesn]
Matt_King: didn't introduce that bug
18:14:28 [jamesn]
jongund: they disappear in some high contrast modes - the twisties
18:15:00 [CurtBellew]
Thank you, Mark
18:15:03 [jamesn]
Matt_King: can someone raise the high contrast issues
18:15:11 [MarkMcCarthy]
Of course Curt!
18:15:19 [jamesn]
Matt_King: my proposal is to merge with those bugs as known bugs
18:15:37 [jamesn]
Matt_King: these code fixes didn't cause those bugs
18:15:47 [jamesn]
Matt_King: going to be bocoup to review
18:16:14 [jamesn]
Matt_King: maybe should leave HC mode doc out for now

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1802
18:19:01 [jamesn]
jongund: added focus around the label as well as the checkbox
18:19:25 [jamesn]
Matt_King: should this have all of the reviews?
18:20:01 [jamesn]
Matt_King: should have no aria AT impact right?
18:20:39 [jamesn]
jongund: only change to RT is can't send key.space - have to use the space character
18:21:38 [jamesn]
Matt_King: visual design, high contrast, code and test
18:21:46 [jamesn]
Matt_King: I'll add after the meeting
18:22:27 [jamesn]

TOPIC: Fixes and updates to index files:
18:23:46 [MarkMcCarthy]
https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1607
18:24:05 [jamesn]
Matt_King: I think we want to merge this first
18:24:07 [jamesn]
jongund: no
18:24:37 [MarkMcCarthy]
s/merge this /merge HCM info
18:24:37 [jamesn]
jongund: intertwined... fix for `aria-label` first.... then other
18:25:06 [jamesn]
need to make sure index is accurate
18:25:14 [jamesn]
Matt_King: need to make sure index is accurate
18:25:49 [jamesn]
Matt_King: a few ways to review... make sure it matches - then checking the result of that is the part I was finding to be very tedious
18:26:15 [jamesn]
Matt_King: is something as we look at redesign that indexing is robust
18:26:35 [jamesn]
jongund: code is succinct
18:26:59 [jamesn]
Matt_King: sarah_higley do you have time to look at #1709
18:27:04 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: sure
18:27:20 [jamesn]
Matt_King: should reference the wiki page
18:28:00 [jamesn]
Matt_King: roles, states and properties that are included in heading or code tag, anything in table of role, states and propreties - then the meta tags (actually data attributes)
18:28:11 [jamesn]
jongund: think that is correct
18:28:32 [jamesn]
Matt_King: 1709 first
18:29:08 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: my comment was about adding tooltips to every link
18:30:09 [jamesn]
jongund: I think we added it as the Screen reader wasn't picking up the abbreviation
18:30:33 [jamesn]
Matt_King: my comment was that needed it defined somewhere
18:30:51 [jamesn]
Matt_King: outside the link and next to it is fine
18:31:14 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: `aria-describedby` if that is a good idea?
18:31:17 [Jemma]
present+
18:31:42 [Jemma]
agenda?
18:31:50 [jamesn]
siri: could provide the abbreviation for HC at the top
18:32:33 [jamesn]
Matt_King: if you read through the table then will hear the HCs but wouldn't hear them in the list of links
18:32:46 [jamesn]
Matt_King: ok
18:32:55 [jamesn]
Matt_King: taking the titles off the links
18:33:07 [jamesn]
Matt_King: work on 1709 first then 1607

18:38:50 [jamesn]
jongund: don't think we need the show all landmarks and show all headings
18:40:06 [Jemma]
you can see live example here https://www.disability.illinois.edu/
18:40:50 [Jemma]
you tab into and can see landmark and page outline
18:40:52 [jamesn]
jamesn: not really intended for screen. reader users
18:41:00 [jamesn]
Matt_King: visually persistant
18:41:09 [jamesn]
Matt_King: no logo on these pages do we
18:41:26 [jamesn]
jongund: visibiltiy is important - for keyboard only
18:42:17 [jamesn]
jamesn: accesskey sounds good
18:42:47 [jamesn]
jongund: in this version it is a title attribute - would include a generated tooltip when it gets focus
18:42:59 [jamesn]
Matt_King: how do you know what to put in
18:43:14 [jamesn]
jongund: calculated base on OS and browser
18:43:29 [jamesn]
Matt_King: you have to hard code it
18:43:54 [jamesn]
jongund: yes i'm computing it
18:45:42 [Jemma]
agenda?
18:45:59 [jamesn]
zakim, take up item 3
18:45:59 [Zakim]
agendum 3 -- removing the collapsible list box -- taken up [from Jemma]
18:46:08 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: burn it
18:46:29 [jamesn]
Matt_King: would like a PR to deprecate it
18:47:05 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: keep the page link but have it being a note about the deprecation
18:47:53 [jamesn]
Matt_King: want to reference the select only combobox
18:48:25 [jamesn]
sarah_higley: I'm happy to do the PR

agendum 4 -- ARIA 1.3 First Working Draft Prep -- taken up [from Jemma]
18:49:33 [jongund]
MK: What we need for annotations, there are room for a lot of guidance
18:49:42 [ZoeBijl]
regrets+
18:50:00 [jongund]
MK: It should be similar to our labeling and describing section, rather than functional example
18:50:10 [jongund]
MK: That is the first item
18:50:30 [jongund]
JN: I think prose is good, but we could link to an example document
18:50:42 [jongund]
JN: A page with static annotations
18:50:54 [jongund]
MK: Kind of like what we do for landmarks
18:51:01 [jongund]
JN: I have some ideas for this
18:51:11 [ZoeBijl]
RRSAgent, make minutes
18:51:11 [RRSAgent]

18:51:17 [jongund]
MK: Some borrowing from what Aaron has done
18:51:45 [jongund]
MK: We might get contributions from many people, JN can you start off
18:52:02 [jongund]
JN: Do we want a super annotation issue that covers all of these things
18:52:26 [jongund]
MK: COmments and suggestions go together, aria-details is an interesting beast,
18:52:46 [jongund]
MK: Isn;t aria-details used to link... termonology
18:52:56 [jongund]
MK: ONe is the annotation and ..
18:53:24 [jongund]
JN: aria-details references the thing you are annotating and the annotation
18:53:51 [jongund]
MK: It feels like for that use case, the details should be specifically fot annotations
18:54:17 [jongund]
JN: We have other uses for aria-details, but this is the primary use case
18:54:25 [jongund]
JN: Aaron needed it
18:54:44 [jongund]
MK: What are the use cases related to suggestions...
18:54:49 [jongund]
JN: Let me look
18:55:53 [Jemma]
here is info for aria details annotation https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1136
18:56:15 [jongund]
JN: The two use cases, not specially annotations, when you have some other user editing the text,
18:56:28 [jongund]
JN: There is inline stuff...
18:56:30 [Jemma]
"aria-description="[localized string]" (similar to how aria-label can be used instead of aria-labelledby). This is a generically useful attribute that has been requested for years, and can be placed on any element.
18:56:30 [Jemma]
Note for authors: aria-description should not be used when there is a more specific semantic to express the same information.
18:56:30 [Jemma]
Order of precedence for description fields in accessibility APIs: 1) aria-describedby, 2) aria-description, 3) native markup such as HTML's @title"
18:57:04 [jongund]
MK: Is it the case we put aria-description in two places and they reference each other
18:57:21 [jongund]
JN: I will do 2 PRs, so they are not so big
18:57:36 [jongund]
MK: Let's address annotation first
18:57:41 [Jemma]
Thanks so much, James!
18:57:52 [jongund]
JN: I will get something for us to comment on
18:58:20 [jongund]
MK: What is the direction aria-braille* , since there are lot of warnings in the spec
18:58:44 [Jemma]
agenda?
18:58:45 [jongund]
MK: It should be about when to use it or why to use it
19:00:24 [jongund]
JG: I am concerns about people using without understanding them, since they have label and descrption in the text string
19:00:55 [jongund]
JN: We need people who use Braille to give the examples, where these would be useful
19:02:10 [Jemma]
jn: I would like to propose simply putting braille name and description with intended purpose with caution
19:02:20 [jongund]
JN: I think we could add a caution in the naming and description section about the using them without expert knowledge
19:03:05 [jongund]
JG: Have these attributes been socialized with Braille users
