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

Carlos: #1865 from Giacomo - when did it go to call for review?

Giacomo: It was updated from the last meeting, where Wilco requested a change...

Wilco: I will check it out

Carlos: Thanks as this will sort this one out then

Wilco: Want me to merge it?

Carlos: Go for it!
... #1917 from Kathy has to be updated
... #1945 in call for review in 3 days
... #1958 is to be merged today

Wilco: I am waiting for the W3C site to update before doing this to stop merge issues

Carlos: The update to Aria 1.2 is to be done too please

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

Carlos: I have had no time in the last month I'm afraid, just reviews here and there. I will get to them soon

Wilco: Not too much progress, ARIA 1.2 will be merged, and I am talking to the chairs of the ARIA WG to review these to help make sure they are all good
... I am working on a new tool to help with the merging of items. So I have been streamlining the process and getting new implementers on board.

Todd: I haven't had a chance to do any work on this yet

Giacomo: I have not had a chance to review mine yet, but I have been looking at the AT support for it as varies per browser
... #1861 - should be closed by the PR #1954

Carlos: Feel free to take more on if you have room

Harris: I have nothing assigned except the ARIA stuff...

<Wilco_> https://github.com/act-rules/act-tools/pull/9/files#diff-5a831ea67cf5cf8703b0de46901ab25bd191f56b320053be9332d9a3b0d01d15R21

Wilco: Yeah they will be closed when the PR for the tool above is run

Carlos: Please take on more if you can

Helen: Sorry - no progress on mine

<ToddL> Looks like this PR closes #932 https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1945

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

Wilco: The ARIA WG are reviewing the 1.2 work

AG are reviewing 6 and soon to be 8 rules to get us to a total of 30 published

scribe: We have a way forward for the rules format for 1.1 and we will see that soon

Carlos: Question for the TF members, it was Jean-Yves who asked, we noticed the not important rules of spacing words, lines etc, are no longer there?

Wilco: They were done a while ago

Carlos: Should the issues be resolved first though?

Wilco: We did assess if the open issues needed to be closed before sending them to AG
... They tend to just have editorial comments - not focus on the issues raised at all

Carlos: Ok - we were not aware that issues were reviewed to progress
... Only if it is a blocker

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

Helen: My thoughts are getting the format of the rules on paper - as we are trying to work out manual test methods and what the expected behaviour should be

Carlos: But you need to have code snippets in the rules

Helen: ARGHHHH - ok we will write out the expected examples behaviour in the text file to be coded by a dev/technical person

Carlos: Sounds good

Headers attribute rule should skip non-table roles https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1928

Carlos: Wilco - can you summarise this?

Wilco: I must unmute before speaking...
... The headers rule does not include non-table attributes so we need an exception - someone must do it

Giacomo: Yes, Chrome is also doing that, or CSS properties are ignoring these into plain text. You have to force the table or list to have the role display:flex applied.

Harris: This has happened before - so not surprised

Wilco: How do you find things like this?

Giacomo: It is Chrome and Safari - look at the accessibility tree something weird happens as they redraw the table with the flex property into the wrong row/column structure

Carlos: So this is no longer needing the role table but flex? Good to know but we will update the issue with this for the applicability of the rule

Wilco: This is non-spec behaviour - should it be filed as a bug with HTMl or ARIA?
... Is the reverse of this true?

Giacomo: <shares screen and shows the issue>

Carlos: I have updated the issue with "Help Wanted" label. It should be simple
... Created by Jean-Yves and created 2 links with the same programmatic name but different locations but will not fail 2.4.4 as the sentences with them provided the context
... So in our discussion we thought it could be deprecated as would not be applicable that often these days
... As rare to not have duplicate context, name and different location
... However, 1/3 of the pages tested are failing this.

Giacomo: I do not think this should be deprecated as you do get multiple examples that fail, like download links with images that are not labelled.

Helen: That technically fails 1.1.1 but yes it is a failure

Carlos: We need to improve the definition of context then!
... Final thoughts - Todd?

<ToddL> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1945

Todd: 932 has been closed by Daniel and opened the PR 1945
... I am going to step back for a while - I will let you know Carlos

Wilco: Not much from me except I am excited at moving ARIA forward

Giacomo: Nothing from me!

Harris: No thoughts from me!

Helen: Thanks for an interesting meeting
