16:22:04 [Detlev]
...question was how can usability be improved?
16:22:39 [Detlev]
...organised by the needs of developers (because they use it most)
16:22:40 [TheoHale]
I think the job/role classification is a moving target, we have a lot of shift in roles at Microsoft just within the last decade, when I started I focused on something that would likely be classified as UX Design... I do however see huge value in organizing by function as it would be more flexible.
16:22:44 [GreggVan]

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 [Detlev]
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 [Detlev]
...the process cannot be prescriptive
16:26:16 [jeanne]

16:27:43 [david-cox]
+1 to tags as well
16:27:50 [Detlev]

16:27:50 [Chuck]
ack dan
16:28:43 [Ben_Tillyer]
Is crowdsourcing tags from readers of WCAG a possibility, so they could evolve over time? (Obviously would need moderating)

ack kevin
16:28:44 [Zakim]
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 [Detlev]
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 [Detlev]
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 [Chuck]
ack Wilco
16:30:14 [david-cox]
q+ if there's time
16:30:25 [GreggVan]
Tagging allows sorting by person's role, by element, by type of testing, and more - all at the same time and intermixed

alastairc, you wanted to comment on roles and how requirements tend to cross roles
16:31:21 [Detlev]
...an outcome may be solved by different people in different ways (say who takes care of focus indicator, styled or default)
16:31:55 [david-cox]
UX designer wasn't really a common role 15 years ago. Same with content designer.
16:32:34 [Frankie]
+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 [Detlev]
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 [Detlev]
...if it is related to the interface / the thing you're working on, it is the most concrete (for developers)
16:33:41 [Detlev]
Chuck: Will consider results of sort to craft an answer
16:33:42 [david-cox]
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)

16:34:07 [Detlev]
Rachael: will create an alternative version of results and send out link to that
16:34:49 [Detlev]
Prioritizing outcomes - publishing discussion lat week was nit conclusive -
16:34:52 [TheoHale]
+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 [Detlev]
Chuck: Reviewed prioritizing outcomes, hint was that those that had research were higher ranked
16:36:23 [kirkwood]

The research is in parallel, but *we* need start working on things we have the research for.

cool, concurrent but the research portion is somewhat separate
