Call for review https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/461

Carlos: several 1 week CfR, 1 from Giacomo with changes requested

Giacomo: Wilco has some changes requested, but I have concern about one: removing one example which came from a real case scenario on a real site.

Wilco: this example has an accessibility problem and shouldn't pass.

Giacomo: the specs are clear about that and we had confirmation from other groups

<CarlosD> scribe+ CarlosD

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: This is an example that goes against the accessibility support note

Jean-Yves: this is an example that goes against AS note because it is good on some UA/AT but bad on others.

Wilco: It is valid to fail such an example because this is not supported everywhere, it is also valid to pass it because it is supported in some UA/AT
... we haven't decided these scenario

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: I agree with that, but I support having it and try to enforce the specs

Carlos: but it is indeed a browser bug, not an implementation.

Wilco: we cannot always say that the browser must follow specs because often is goes the other way around.

Jean-Yves: there is a difference between "all browsers agree but go against specs" and "browsers disagree, we need to take a stance".

Wilco: this can be an example of handling AS breaking examples

Carlos: we are also considering optional SC, this could be extended to optional examples?

Wilco: need some coding to handle that.

Carlos: need to update the rules format.

<giacomo-petri> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1939

Giacomo: we also need better storage of the AS data so we can revisit it in the future.

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: having the optional exemple clearly stated would allow us to collect data from implementations and understand how it evolves

Wilco: I agree. We need to make sure it is not counted for consistency

Carlos: do we need optionally passing and optionally failing example? Maybe not if they are not used for consistency…

Jean-Yves: keeping the recommanded outcome help tools vendors to adapt to it.

Carlos: agreed. But automation for implementation reports probably does not need to care.

Jean-Yves: what is the resolution for this precise PR?

Wilco, Carlos: we should take out the example so that the AS note gets in; and keep an issue for handling the optional example.

Carlos: Giacomo: can you do the update + open the issue?

Giacomo: Yes.

Carlos: the other 3 CfC are in their 1 week period, closing soon

Assigned issues + help wanted https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen

Carlos: no progress. Productive meeting but not for my issues ;-)

Wilco: Productive on ARIA 1.2 :-D

Helen: one open issue, we'll talk about it later.

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: Some progress on the text spacing rewrite

Jean-Yves: progress on the text spacing rules.

Update from the ACT Task Force https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/522/files

Wilco: progress on defining secondary requirements. Finally able to move on that.
... 5 rules approved by AG.
... CfC on removing the "under dev" banner on the new site.
... should go live today + WAI announcement coming soon + ask tools to report

Hybrid ACT-Rules meeting summary https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1847

Carlos: Thank you to every one, especially Helen for organising. Productive meeting, great progress on ARIA 1.2 issues.
... remember to look into the main ARIA 1.2 pull request that contains everything.

Manual Test Rules subgroups https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1952

Helen: the focus on the group has been on automation. Manual tests often have exception, need to think about how to test.
... the rules should end up in WCAG 3 in we have large gaps in the testing rules.
... I want to start writing manual rules; I feel I can do it better than the technicalities of some automatic rules.
...  we can make a start until we get a first draft

Carlos: this can help get traction
... having a first rule published can bring other people

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: There was already some work on this started during the WAI-Tools project, but we really need to fill the huge gap

Helen: 2.4.3 looks like a good candidate to start

<CarlosD> Jean-Yves: it would be important to have people from different organizations doing manual testing reviewing these rules

Carlos: you mentioned monthly meetings. Maybe for the next CG meeting we should keep the topic to have updates.
... we can create a "manual rule" label to help create focus

Wilco: feel free to reach directly to people
... You may consider creating a Google doc template to start with.
... once you start having a direction, you can do some outreach to people out of ACT rules CG.

Helen: if I get stuck, I'll ask Giacomo for help :-)
... will be looking at what is needed and trying to get started.

Consider rules for WCAG 2.2 https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1695

Carlos: this was waiting for WCAG 2.2 to get ready, maybe now is the time to start talking about it.

Wilco: I'm looking on rules for target size and focus appearance.
... started on WCAG 2.1 target size. This is very complicated.

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1919

Wilco: focus appearance might end up being easier.
... the manual rules group might specifically pick WCAG 2.2 stuff

Jean-Yves:  maybe input without autocomplete would fail Accessible Authentication?

Wilco:  not sure…

Carlos: not sure either.

Wilco: Not Obscured can also be tested automatically
