<trackbot> Meeting: Low Vision Accessibility Task Force Teleconference

<trackbot> Date: 03 March 2022

<laura> Scribe: Laura

Discuss exploration of LVTF community group

Jon: Exploring a Low Vision Accessibility Community Group.
... we would still meet and use GitHub.
... AG would need to review work same as now.
... hopefully would have more involvement.

Laura: we need more people.

Shawn: CGs don't get a staff member
... have the same time. Would need another wiki.
... keep the current wiki.
... could use GitHub.

Jon: there is a wiki on GH

shawn: GH wiki doesn't have an auto toc.

Jon: have discussed with AG chairs.

shawn: no one has to approve CGs

<Sam> yes CG to get more contributions

Laura: +1 to CG

shawn: 5 people need to support a CG

<jon_avila_> I am good with moving bulk of work into community group

(Discussing name for cg)

<shawn> Low Vision Accessibility Community Group or Low Vision Community Group

Shawn: Low Vision Accessibility Community Group or Low Vision Community Group

Do skeleton loaders fall under “inactive” exemption of 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast? #2048 <https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/2048>

jon: I sent around 5 GH related issues
... questions on how to interpret SCs.
... need to button up some issues.
... 1st one related to skeleton.

Sam: don't have a preference.

shawn: need some indication.

jon: it is a current style right now.
... need to be an activity indicator.
... do we want to show support as a group?

Shawn: it is what we think now.

RESOLUTION: Task force agrees that some indication of page/content loading needs to have sufficient contrast but the skeleton itself does not need to

Clarifying 1.4.11 Understanding: border contrast when labels within input fields #1091 <https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1091>

shawn: can put a link to resolution into GH.

<shawn> scan put text and a link to resolution/can put text and a link to resolution

Jon: what if you have a label inside input field?
... if label is inside or outside it doesn't make a difference.
... google decided borders aren't needed.
... fatigue or time was not considered.

Sam: hard to tell without a visual example.

(Jon shares screen)

Jon: common technique.
... font size is small on the labels.

Shawn: user hat on.
... poses great difficulty for me.
... this is an issue.

Sam: would reject it on the text size.

shawn: several examples of how inaccessible it is,

Jon: min text size could be a supplemental guidance topic.

Sam: is there a live example?

jon: looking around for example.

Sam: need some real life examples.
... can look at it offline.

Jon: we can create an example too.

Understanding Success Criterion 1.4.11: Non-text Contrast <https://w3c.github.io/wcag/understanding/non-text-contrast.html#figure-focus-inner>

jon: this one is also related to 1.4.11.
... How to compare adjacent colors.
... doesn't say adjacent to the component.
... walking though the examples.

Sam: is there a thickness requirement?

jon: based on area.
... (explains criteria for 2.1)

Sam: reject the entire lot if no thickness requirement.
... for large features it's the contrast that matters.
... for small details size matters.
... Andy has looked into this.

Jon: this is important for 3.0.

Sam: test with gaussian blur.
... it is not fit for purpose as is.

Jon: trying to do the best we can for what we have.
... could do supplemental guidance.

sam: border thickness is the key

Jon: user agent exception for 2.2.

shawn: supplemental guidance is in our control.
... is a fairly straightforward blur test for supplemental guidance?

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to ask Sam if blur test is a fairly straightforward supplemental guidance?

Sam: possibility.
... I'll think about it.
... are we talking about hover and focus?

Jon: for supplemental guidance could cover both.

Sam: 4 possible states.

jon: many states.
... colors against colors is difficult.

Sam: 4 possible states needs to be determined and distinguishable.
... interested in the topic.

<shawn> scribe: Shawn

Jon: Please look at other items, and if you are interested , pleae comment on GitHUb

Can we consider a technique to meet Focus appearance that exposes tooltips? <https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/2139>

[ Jon desribes issue ]

Sam: Makse sense to me.

What does "content" mean in SC 1.4.10 Reflow <https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/2073>

Jon: reflow size ... similiar to older mobile devices
... is it OK to have horizontally scrolling content, as long as doesn't require scroilling in 2 dimensions

Sam: Not sure. I've seen this, e.g., for menus and shopping. On touch screen, it kinda works OK. NOt sure about accessibility perspective.

Jon: Could introduce an indicator that more content is availble yet you need to scroll. NOt sure if fits into crteria.

Sam: A signfifier
... what is reasonable? how set boundaries?

Jon: if you have to use the two things at once is a challenge
... limitations of small screen

Sam: e.g., a table that just didn't fit

Jon: OK for tables if cell not re1quire scrolling both ways

Sam: option to turn it off

next steps

<Sam> Proposed topics are Sam hover versus non-hover active versus inactive selected versus not selected for buttons and controls and radio buttons

Sam: add to the supplmentasl guidance list new topic of distinguishing hover focus active selected etc. for controls - add Sam's name
