Meeting Survey

MK: Is there any sruvey results

JK: We can look at it at the end of the call

Update Accordion example code and behavior

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1830

<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1834

Draft: Two accordion examples, one basic and one of a group with only one open accordion

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1834

SH: The issue raised with macOS is a known issue

MK: What happens

SH: It exposes the heading weirdly, some times the button and sometimes the heasing

SH: I have run into this problem before, and Apple knows about it

MK: We will see what happens when this get in the ARIA-AT project

MK: It is not something we can change

SH: I have talked to people who think this is a problem, but Apple has not addressed the issue

MK: Does Chrome behave differently?

MK: Usually this type of issue is not browser dependent

JK: We need for people to complete their reviewes

MK: We will address the issue with ARIA-AT

SH: This bug has not seemed to gain any traction at Apple

MK: We need to updated the pending reviewers in GitHub

<Jemma> "At the APG meeting today is was suggested to remove the aria-required and aria-hidden from the standard form controls, since they are not needed for the accordion pattern and increase the amount of documentation and testing for the example."

SH: There were some comments and I will do an update

MK: We should wait for the changes

SH: I will make them today

<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1834

Listbox Deprecation Warning

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1852

MK: I left comments, where they addressed?

JG: The checklist needs to be removed, we are only reviewing the label

<Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1852#issuecomment-833903987

<Jemma> "1. Prepend (Deprecated) to title tag and H1

<Jemma> 2. Remove link from main doc and other example pages"

MK: When we deprecate the example, we should remove links o the document, we do not need to document in the APG that it is deprecated

MK: Does this PR remove the links?

JN: I am super confused about the new link, the example it points to is not deprecated

MK: I want to completely remove that links

JN: We need to link to the new combobox

MK: We have that link in the combobox section, I don;t think we should have a link from listbox

JN: We could have a addtional links, people are use to looking for it in listbox

MK: For this PR to keep it simple, we should just remove it

JN: That's fine

MK: Is it removed from the other listbox example pages?

MK: In this PR can you removed the links in related examples?

SH: Yes

Coverage Report Update

<Jemma> jon: my request is about github.io so that this can have the most updated info about apg example coverage

<Jemma> mck: it would be beneficial to have the coverage report updated automatically

MK: First step is to get it automatically updated in GitHub actions

Action: items: 1)run the report automatically, 2) add report info to wiki and readme.

<trackbot> Error finding 'items'. You can review and register nicknames at <https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/users>.

Action: Jemma will create the issue for Simon to run the coverage report script automatically

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2156 - Will create the issue for simon to run the coverage report script automatically [on JaEun Jemma Ku - due 2021-07-20].

coverage-report.js

Action: Jemma will add coverage report url to readme and wiki.

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2157 - Will add coverage report url to readme and wiki. [on JaEun Jemma Ku - due 2021-07-20].

Expedited Review Update

<Jemma> jon: looking for new process to expiditedreview. One idea may be setting some designated time for the review.

<Jemma> mck: we have been priortizing the works and trying to go with sequence depending on the PRs

<Jemma> jon: what is your current rate of PR review/merge process?

<Jemma> mck: according to the second half of 202*, we processed 47(?), non npm issues.

<Jemma> jamesn/mck: we don't have enough reviewers to meet with expectation

<Jemma> ... but quality of doc is very important.

<Jemma> jon: how about community group's help?

<Jemma> jamesn: As aria re-chartering is near, may we add community group idea to new charter?

<Jemma> mck; I think the bigger charter question may be a joint task force with community group or only community group. but I have concern for adding w3c contact staff support to community group.

<Jemma> mck: we can name it as APG feedback community group?

<Jemma> jamesn: if we were to set something up, we can consider how we are going to recruit the right quality of people.

<Jemma> mck: I am really interested in recruiting the accessibility engineers, consultant to ensure the quality of the work

<Jemma> ...recruitng, onboarding and training should be added.

<Jemma> we need support on functionality and reviews.

<Jemma> sarah: only reviewing changes may be helpful(narrow down the scope of the review)

<Jemma> ... solicit reviews from wide range of audience

<Jemma> summary of topics: quality of work, more reviewers, commitment

<Jemma> curt: lack of resources which conflicting with full time job is the issue.

<Jemma> mark: I tried to recruit other people but they have the same challenges of conflicting resources.

<Jemma> jon: instead of weekly meeting, we can assign one week only for reviews.

<Jemma> james: would you like to use aria deep dive session for that?

<Jemma> mck: having some meeting time to excercise different accessibility will be good.

<Jemma> such as functionality, visual, and other review except code review.

<Jemma> siri: I like Jon's idea to utilize one aria meeting time.

<Jemma> and we provide the input/feedback about the example

<Jemma> ... document known issues so that we can avoid duplicate work.

Tooltip design subgroup

<Jemma> Jon: we can pull someone out of APG to get help

<Jemma> mck: we can reach out to WAI

<Jemma> sarah: one month to indicate the interest and then start the work?

<Jemma> mck: yes, that is reasonable.

<Jemma> jamesn: sarah can reach out to specific a11y slack channel
