Meeting minutes

Mike Pennisi (Bocoup)

update on the generic AT Driver

jugglinmike: regarding macOS support, Z Goddard (Bocoup) is on the case. He'll be picking up where I left off trying to use the new API that Apple included in macOS 13

James: what do we need from Apple?

jugglinmike: confirmation that the official sample code is correct and instructions for how it can be operated

James: try contacting the developers of the e-speak project; they have ostensibly implemented a working system on top of this new API

ARIA-AT Automation repository README.md updates

github: w3c/aria-at-automation#68

jugglinmike: I'm working to update the readme in order to support upcoming discussions with the Browser Testing and Tools Working Group

jugglinmike: in particular, I've added some text recognizing the standardization effort for the Accessibility Object Model (AOM)

open spec patches

github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-at-automation/pulls

jugglinmike: 5 patches that I believe are uncontroversial but which require review before they can be merged

James: no need to block on review from PAC

renaming proposal

jugglinmike: "ARIA-AT Automation" to "AT Driver"

jugglinmike: "ARIA-AT Automation Driver" to "Generic AT Driver"

Cameron: "AT Driver" makes sense to me as a newcomer working in this space

James: Is the word "generic" too generic? Will others know what that means?

James: is this implementations externality the more relevant/helpful aspect to reflect in its name?

mzgoddard: We could name it based on the mechanism we use to integrate, but that may change in time

jugglinmike: Lets think about this for a couple weeks and revisit at our next meeting
