I am still trying to figure out what to write. 19:18:20 jongunderson: updating to accurately indicate what is happening. 19:18:42 Matt_King: I was trying to figure out if the issue of transparency was relevant here. 19:19:18 jongunderson: it does, i am using border with rounding on the corners to make it look nicer. I can use outline but we use borders in other examples. 19:21:23 Matt_King: need to make sure the accessibility documentation is clear and consistent with what is used in other places. I will update with any questions. 19:21:58 jongunderson: I did not make any code changes based on Zoe's comments. 19:22:27 Matt_King: I will make an update to content for clarity. 19:22:39 Matt_King: we are really close to merging. 19:25:30 Jem: if you can add that comment 19:25:54 jamesn: i will add comment and screenshot 19:27:13 https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1834 19:28:27 Matt_King: Jemma it looks like you and me.

I also sent to Matt and Jemma the current character/word ranges for the different content areas. 19:32:34 I am sharing the updated mock up by zoom screen sharing 19:33:05 Matt_King: the cards on other pages are just automatic extracts. For these sections, i.e. landmarks and patterns, I am hoping there will be some type of automatic excerpt. 19:33:53 Matt_King: I would like to start out with heading and the words that appear that with the words are automatically extracted with the read more link. 19:34:16 Matt_King: I am pretty sure we don't to hand code those sections. 19:34:52 isaacdurazo: We have that current functionality and can see doing that here. 19:35:30 Matt_King: the word counts are really helpful. I wonder what format or file we want to start experimenting with the constraints. 19:35:43 isaacdurazo: Matt will you be writing the initial copy 19:36:41 Matt_King: will need to chat about what format to use. 19:36:55 Jem: do you have any other questions? 19:37:41 isaacdurazo: we have received comments regarding accessibility when implementing. 19:37:58 Jem: that is great considering it in the design phase. 19:38:58 Jem: is this file how we should interact with it? 19:39:05 isaacdurazo: yes 19:39:26 zakim, take up agenda 5 19:39:26 agendum 5 -- focusability of disabled control -- taken up [from Jem] 19:39:45 https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/2176 19:40:30 jamesn: before we talk about. If a disable control becomes focusable does it have to meet the 4.5:1 ratio, the text. 19:41:01 jamesn: if you focus is it disabled anymore? 19:41:15 Matt_King: you can have something disabled but focusable. 19:42:02 jamesn: in my opinion as long as you put focus on it is no longer an inactive component and has to meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio. 19:42:41 Matt_King: that is a reasonable interpretation. Part of me wonders why not focused or not focusable would meet the description. Why does focus change it? 19:43:04 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum 19:45:02 jamesn: if you meet the 4.5:1 ratio it doesn't look inactive anymore. Per WCAG you need to make it meet the 4.5:1 ratio. 19:45:03 Inactive User Interface Components User Interface Components that are not available for user interaction (e.g., a disabled control in HTML) are not required to meet contrast requirements in WCAG 2.1. An inactive user interface component is visible but not currently operable. An example would be a submit button at the bottom of a form that is visible but cannot be activated until all the required fields in the form are completed. Grey button with n[CUT] 19:45:25 Matt_King: you would need have a different way to show that. 19:48:38 jamesn: there is a fundamental problem with controls and I do not know how to solve it. 19:49:04 Matt_King: i am particularly concerned about high contrast mode and gray scaling 19:49:18 jamesn: you can specify gray text in high contrast 19:49:31 s/gray text/GrayText/ 19:50:42 Inactive components, such as disabled controls in HTML, are not available for user interaction. The decision to exempt inactive controls from the contrast requirements was based on a number of considerations. Although it would be benefitial to some people to discern inactive controls, a one-size-fits-all solution has been very difficult to establish.

The group is considering improving APG by spelling out options and identifying the tradeoffs among them. 20:30:37 Options: 20:30:38 1. Current default in HTML: disabled controls are hard to perceive due to low contrast and they are not focusable. 20:30:40 2. Enable focusability of disabled controls while still leaving them hard to perceive with low contrast. The low contrast makes their disabled state perceivable, but some interpretations of WCAG may call this out as a problem because some people may say that a focusable control is active even if it is not operable. 20:30:42 3. Use low contrast to indicate a disabled state when controls are not focused but make them easy to perceive when focused and use an alternative focus indicator that clearly communicates that the control is not operable. 20:30:43 4. Do not use low contrast to indicate a disabled state. Use some other type of persistent indicator. Ensure that indicator is separately perceivable from focus so that a disabled control can be focused and easily perceived as disabled. 20:30:45 The APG could propose various designs for options 3 and 4 and delineate the tradeoffs when compared to options 1 and 2. The APG might recommend specific options for specific scenarios. One of the common scenarios discussed is a calendar grid with certain dates or ranges of dates that are disabled. 20:30:51 rrsagent, make minutes 20:30:51 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2022/03/01-aria-apg-minutes.html Matt_King 20:31:50 zakim, close this item 20:31:50 I do not know what agendum had been taken up, Matt_King 20:31:59 zakim, close item 20:31:59 I don't understand 'close item', Matt_King 20:32:10 zakim, next item 20:32:10 I see nothing on the agenda 20:32:23 rrsagent, make minutes 20:32:23 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2022/03/01-aria-apg-minutes.html Matt_King 20:32:33 zakim, bye 20:32:33 leaving.
