I do however see huge value in organizing by function as it would be more flexible. 16:22:44 GreggVan has joined #ag 16:23:06 ...since it is organised by user need, it does not match the understanding of developers 16:23:14 q+ 16:23:18 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r-5zaek3yFOTgDz0v7dzTwK_QUnOpAxTTr22OAonMbg/edit 16:23:24 q+ 16:23:24 ack kirk 16:23:25 q+ 16:23:29 q+ to comment that there can be lots of different ways to organise the content that we could potentially support 16:23:29 maryjom has joined #ag 16:23:43 q+ 16:23:53 John K: The perspective bridging designers/developers is great 16:23:54 q+ on roles and how requirements tend to cross roles 16:24:41 Analysis of Pete McNally Survey link also in slide 3 16:24:51 ...potentially missing is the "stick" perspective (legislation) - have enabled certain groups to push for legal action / standardisation 16:24:53 ack gia 16:25:15 +1 to giacomo-petri 16:25:22 +1 to giacomo 16:25:28 FYI, we tackled a lot of this at ibm using the exising WCAG requirements. So it's useful to see that effort along with others https://www.ibm.com/able/toolkit/plan/overview 16:25:56 Giacomo: Lifecycle can be quite different between designers/developers - same person or a team - the guidelines should have filtering option to make it easier for users to achieve their goals 16:26:10 ...the process cannot be prescriptive 16:26:16 +1 to filters - we proposed using tagging 16:26:22 ack Gregg 16:26:27 Chuck: closing queue 16:26:30 +1 to filters, but where should we do the filtering 16:26:32 zakim, close queue 16:26:32 ok, Chuck, the speaker queue is closed 16:27:09 Gregg: these things are synergetic - go together - it's not just a list to tick off 16:27:31 +1 to tags 16:27:43 +1 to tags as well 16:27:50 ...everything may end up in multiple categories - tagging could be an answer, tagged version (informative) based on normative material 16:27:50 ack dan 16:28:43 Is crowdsourcing tags from readers of WCAG a possibility, so they could evolve over time? (Obviously would need moderating) 16:28:44 ack kevin 16:28:44 kevin, you wanted to comment that there can be lots of different ways to organise the content that we could potentially support 16:28:49 Dan: +1 to research quoted by Jeanne - grouping and tagging both important - like the top-level by type of content being assessed 16:30:07 Kevin: Lots of different ways to organs content - WCAG reorganization have been tried, that was interesting - other environments for working out are useful such as quicker that has tagging - content should be presented in different ways 16:30:07 ack Wilco 16:30:14 q+ if there's time 16:30:25 Tagging allows sorting by person's role, by element, by type of testing, and more - all at the same time and intermixed 16:30:37 red 16:30:38 Wilco: It'S like picking the color before we know what we want from the car 16:30:44 David, I closed queue so we could move on to the other agenda items. 16:30:54 Feel free to type in your thoughts. 16:30:58 scotto has joined #ag 16:31:01 q? 16:31:05 I'll just comment here: roles change over time, so I'd recommend the baseline categorization not being done by role. 16:31:06 present+ 16:31:17 ack ala 16:31:17 alastairc, you wanted to comment on roles and how requirements tend to cross roles 16:31:21 ...an outcome may be solved by different people in different ways (say who takes care of focus indicator, styled or default) 16:31:55 UX designer wasn't really a common role 15 years ago. Same with content designer. 16:32:34 +1 to content type being an effective way to organize content for WCAG implementors. I've written guidance using this approach several times now. Role gets tricky depending on the content type and organization. 16:32:50 Alastair: We intend to have tagging to have multiple views on same information - support that organizing by role is problematic, there is overlap - workshops show that role allocations vary across organisations 16:33:26 ...if it is related to the interface / the thing you're working on, it is the most concrete (for developers) 16:33:41 Chuck: Will consider results of sort to craft an answer 16:33:42 Also, the ARRM is an existing method of mapping roles to WCAG. We could incorporate that idea into the formal WCAG document in the future. (https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/ARRM_Project_-_Accessibility_Roles_and_Responsibilities_Mapping) 16:33:51 ARRM = Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping 16:33:59 zakim, open queue 16:33:59 ok, Chuck, the speaker queue is open 16:34:03 zakim, take up item 2 16:34:03 agendum 2 -- Prioritizing Outcomes (https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions/43) -- taken up [from Chuck] 16:34:07 Rachael: will create an alternative version of results and send out link to that 16:34:49 Prioritizing outcomes - publishing discussion lat week was nit conclusive - 16:34:52 +1, to David-Cox, we also don't have a formal testing role anymore at Microsoft though that does not mean we don't test. Tagging based on function seems to be the best scheme. Role does seem to attach maybe too much to web content or specific platforms. 16:35:33 Chuck: Reviewed prioritizing outcomes, hint was that those that had research were higher ranked 16:36:23 q+ 16:36:26 Rachael: Possible of publishing things earlier one suggestion was to publish something that would bring excitement such as a new color contrast algorithm 16:36:29 ack kir 16:36:43 q+ 16:36:52 ack Ch 16:36:54 q+ 16:37:12 John K: Prioritizing by analyzing analytics - how often are outcomes most searched 16:37:17 ack Gregg 16:37:22 q+ 16:37:45 If we prioritized by a usefulness/numbers thing, I'd rather use which issues are found most in testing. 16:37:48 +1 to John K idea 16:37:53 or the most traffic on our site? 16:38:17 Gregg: We should be careful when looking for information guiding prioitization (WW2 plane example) 16:38:26 https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/survivorship-bias-plane 16:38:53 ...like analytics but needs careful use of result 16:38:54 q? 16:38:57 ack wilco 16:39:04 https://www.w3.org/2023/11/ag-charter 16:39:34 Yes, but which ones? 16:40:05 q 16:40:07 q+ 16:40:17 +1 to Wilco 16:40:26 ack Rach 16:40:32 Wilco: we have an answer in out charter which asks with a representative set of outcomes with documentation for WCAG 3 - need to demonstrate different approaches 16:40:57 q+ 16:40:58 Basically, if it's some of column a, some of column b... what are column a and b? 16:41:01 ack Ch 16:41:05 Rachael: Pick sample cross category or several categories - both approaches would fit the charter 16:41:15 q+ 16:41:31 Chuck: this is quite abstract now - hard to get a sense of how that feels 16:41:39 ack david 16:42:12 q+ to speak to reseasrch 16:42:41 David C: The discussion board for pro of outcomes there are 3 options - some need more research - should be push for that research to happen, since that will take longest 16:42:48 ljoakley1 has joined #ag 16:42:55 ack Rach 16:42:55 Rachael, you wanted to speak to reseasrch 16:43:04 Rachael:: Part of the plan is to take all those and coordinate the research 16:43:15 The research is in parallel, but *we* need start working on things we have the research for. 16:43:19 cool, concurrent but the research portion is somewhat separate 16:43:27 q+ 16:43:37 ...it is concurrent to this and it will be driven outside this groups - people wh are interested can get involved 16:44:16 Chuck: Distinction between self-evident outcomes vs. research-based - evident ones can ba fallacies 16:44:25 ack Ch 16:44:33 +1 to Chuck's thoughts 16:44:44 q+ 16:44:44 q+ 16:44:50 ack Wilco 16:45:05 ack ala 16:45:10 +1 to figuring out how to make self-evident items also empirically-backed 16:45:12 Wilco: it' a bit nebulous now - maybe proposal needs to be more concrete 16:45:58 GN015 has joined #ag 16:46:08 q+ to say that I don't think we back ourselves into a corner if we make a decision and decide later to change that decision 16:46:43 Alastair: it is tricky - the proposal of top priority (outcomes that have solid research) - others suggested to four on outcomes that *aren't* covered now - so the could be split between covered / not covered 16:46:58 q+ 16:47:09 ack Ch 16:47:09 Chuck, you wanted to say that I don't think we back ourselves into a corner if we make a decision and decide later to change that decision 16:47:10 ...color contrast? anyone having proposals for VR? 16:47:41 q+ 16:47:45 ack Rach 16:47:47 Chuck: making the decision early is good since the course can easily corrected 16:48:12 Rachael: Net we should pick one outcome and provide the rest (testable etc) 16:48:22 q- 16:48:29 q+ to ask about the polls 16:48:46 As long as there isn't an over-committment, then it's easy to course-correct.

We should not be restricting what user needs we can include by only accepting "objective testing" 17:19:41 Wilco: The what/why/where approach comes from ACT framing. The user story problematic from perspective of who decides? 17:19:51 +1 to Wilco - it shouldn't be part of the normative statement, but should be consistently nearby 17:20:41 q+ to normative 17:20:45 ... lesson learned from ACT is that it is very easy for things to get complex, with branching. ACT rules had to scrap initial approach and reformulate approach. 17:20:57 Responding to Jeanne - I’m all about qualatative assertions. I love usability testing.

I propose the questions (or assertions) for THIS PASSES need to be tech agnostic. We can do the tech specific in ACT. 17:24:03 ...

AG has agreed on ACT rule with pixel picking if color does not match CSS value. 17:50:39 AG has agreed to contradictory things. 17:50:53 q? 17:50:55 ack ala 17:50:55 alastairc, you wanted to comment on gradients (tangent!) 17:51:09 dan_bjorge: AG also approve using CSS values as acceptable testing method. 17:51:38 alastairc: To giacomo-petri please see understand document which includes gradient examples. 17:51:42 ack mb 17:51:53 A tester might have a high-end graphic monitor with a high resolution, and end user might have an older monitor with lower resolution. The pixels might have other colors with the end user. This is not only uncontrollable, but unforeseeable. 17:52:04 q+ 17:52:18 q+ 17:52:20 alastairc: WRT resolution on disagreements, that process is exactly what we are trying to iron out. 17:52:44 We need to figure out a way of transforming an image to reduce the contrast and validate that these images are compliant. Pixel picking will result in bugs being filed that might not help people with disabilities as teams will focus on these issues. 17:53:01 mbgower: We will continue to work on these on github and on friday call and tuesday calls, and refine process 17:53:19 ack gia 17:53:22 ack Ch 17:53:26 works for me Chuck 17:53:37 chuck: We agree that there is work to do with hashing out process. All agree there is not perfect agree ment. 17:54:05 q+ 17:54:21 giacomo-petri: My point about gradients, is that it as a tester with gradiant, instructions provided do not give enough clarity with background collors... 17:54:22 ack Wilco 17:54:44 q+ 17:54:44 ... anti aliasing introduce a variable that test cannot control 17:54:48 q+ to say that's the way it has been for colour-contrast checking for many years. 17:54:55 ack mb 17:54:59 Wilco: My question to AG is if color picker instruction is valid? 17:55:05 q+ 17:55:37 present+ 17:55:42 mbgower: Color picker with text and background is much more reliable and repeatable, does not conflict with using CSS values... 17:56:10 q- 17:56:13 q+ 17:56:21 ... can ignore anti-aliasing effect by pixel picking from center and using color pick to identifiy repsentiative pixel. 17:56:43 +1 I think so. CSS colors works very well 99% of the time 17:56:50 ack ala 17:56:50 alastairc, you wanted to say that's the way it has been for colour-contrast checking for many years. 17:56:59 ... with gradient can be tricky, but solid colors are reliable to use color picky. So not necessar a contradiction. 17:57:53 alastairc: It can be a little subjective, but for my testing I like firefox pluging which can flag low contrast reliably and programatically... 17:58:03 q? 17:58:07 ack dan 17:58:15 ... then I can drill down to more subjective elements on a page. 17:58:58 q? 17:58:59 dan_bjorge: Using CSS values uses most of time, but is not rare for discrepancy. Please see thread and examples from JAWS-test... 17:59:09 ... even 16 px letters can be an issue. 17:59:10 sometimes you have to go through hell 17:59:18 adjourned! 17:59:22 +1 17:59:29 present+ 17:59:51 bye 17:59:53 see you all 18:00:14 rrsagent, make minute 18:00:14 I'm logging.
