Isaac: This shows a stretch goal of embedding capability so people can share/use these tables on other sites.

The baseline goal for this first build would show the table of support for 3 screen readers and multiple browsers.
18:12:45 [Matt_King]
Still working on adding version numbers to AT.
18:12:58 [Matt_King]
We don't yet show that in aria-at.

Matt: described aria-at working process and definition of test plan status
18:18:05 [jongund]
JN: Have you looked as CSS reporting for WPT, its something out there
18:18:21 [jongund]
ID: They use numbers rather than progess bars
18:18:44 [jongund]
JN: I am not saying I like it, it has accessibility problems, maybe we can work with them
18:19:05 [jongund]
ID: I lost the last part
18:19:24 [jamesn]
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#the-color-property
18:19:25 [jongund]
JN: I think we should work with other groups for consisency and accessibility
18:19:35 [jongund]
MK: Are you talking about the presentation
18:20:08 [jongund]
JN: They are using pie charst with green and red, which is not accessible
18:20:44 [jongund]
MK: For at least this first iteration, we do not want to expand the scope
18:21:18 [jongund]
MK: If you have some feed back that would work for us and WPT, we could get feedback from APG ussers
18:21:22 [jamesn]
ack me
18:21:28 [jongund]
MK: That might be a first step
18:22:00 [jongund]
JN: I will think about that, and I like consistency
18:22:09 [jongund]
JN: We need it for ARIA spec too
18:22:21 [jongund]
MK: I like the idea of consistency as a target
18:22:54 [jongund]
MK: Right now WPT is using pies and we are using progress bars
18:23:31 [jongund]
ID: We are using spec document, I have not seen the pie charts, x out of y in ttheir results and then they use color codes...
18:23:59 [jongund]
ID: One thing that I am wondering percent versus numbers
18:24:13 [jongund]
ID: You don't know the number of tests
18:25:23 [jongund]
JG: Concerned about using the numbers, it maybe too much informationo
18:26:02 [jongund]
MK: I feel strongly about the numbers, we will be using it for new features, and there will be questions about implementation
18:26:30 [jongund]
MK: I think our readers will understand
18:26:50 [jongund]
JN: Can we promote competition for implementation
18:27:23 [jongund]
MK: I have two different forms of slider or carousel, if they are different people can compare implementation
18:27:46 [jongund]
MK: Helping people make simple comparisons is important on implementation
18:28:01 [jongund]
ID: I like the idea of helping people compare
18:28:11 [jongund]
ID: Can we move to next item
18:28:30 [jongund]
ID: The table will be assistive technology support
18:28:45 [jongund]
ID: We will have a paragraph instead of a table evenetually
18:29:14 [jongund]
ID: We will be changing the structure of the table, there will be more ATs than browsers, so more columsn than rows
18:29:39 [jongund]
ID: Adding "candidate" versus "recommended"
18:30:10 [jongund]
ID: The cells are clickable and take you to aria-at results
18:30:32 [jongund]
ID: When you click the progress bar it will take you to the test plan
18:31:19 [jongund]
ID: When you click on the embed button it will open something to copy... lot's of options....
18:31:28 [jongund]
ID: That is for next year
18:31:58 [jongund]
MK: That's great
18:32:29 [jongund]
MK: When there is no data, I want people to know not to scroll down there
18:32:39 [jongund]
ID: The heading will be updated
18:33:03 [jongund]
MK: "Data is not available", thank you Issac
18:33:09 [Matt_King]

18:36:59 [jongund]
AF: I am not including that in the week time line, it would be helpful for some one to change the classes to markup
18:37:29 [jongund]
MK: Adding a an appropriate header...
18:38:05 [jongund]
AF: It needs to be wrapped in a DIV, it is currently on alot of different elements including lists
18:38:49 [jongund]
AF: We need a DIV and a headline ...
18:39:00 [jongund]
JG: What is that you need?
18:39:42 [jongund]

TOPIC: Rating slider issue
18:52:57 [Matt_King]
github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/2501
18:54:11 [jongund]
MK: There is a criticism that slider should not be used for ratings
18:55:15 [jongund]
JG: The issue is a disconnect between seeing something that looks like a slider and have a slider control
18:55:23 [jongund]
JN: What should it be?
18:55:44 [jongund]
MK: We all have opinions, use the role that looks like the thing
18:55:53 [jongund]
JN: There is not a rating thing
18:56:25 [jongund]
MK: Since there is not a rating role
18:57:11 [jongund]
JN: We should not having something that has half stars, if you want more there should be more stars
18:57:41 [jongund]
MK: JG where dod you find this?
18:57:57 [jongund]
JG: I have found one, they are not common
18:58:11 [jongund]
JN: I have not seen this
18:58:29 [jongund]
MK: Whether it supports or doesn't support half stars
18:58:39 [jongund]
MK: The half stars is the issue
18:58:43 [jongund]
JN: I agree
18:59:23 [jongund]
MK: We agree that half stars doesn't change whether slider is an appropriate role
19:00:01 [jongund]
MK: The next bullit is more relavent about no rail for drag
19:00:27 [jongund]
JN: I have to go
19:00:33 [jongund]
MK: Top of the hour
19:01:02 [jongund]
JG: It seems like we should get rid of the half stars
19:01:25 [jongund]
MK: The WCAG point is drag
19:01:51 [jongund]
MK: Since it is not obvious that it is draggable
19:02:40 [jongund]
MK: That and the fact that setting it to zero is not obvious, they might be ligitament
19:04:36 [jongund]
MK: I wondering a you can perceive whether you can drag, maybe there should ne something you can drag
19:05:08 [jongund]
JG: Are we creating an example that will not be used in real life.
19:05:36 [jongund]
MK: What are we demonstrating with this exampel that we are not doing with other examples
