The difficulty for learning disabilities is that it means different things in some countries 15:10:35 Title needs to be easy to understand and shorter. 15:10:46 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-cognitive-a11y-tf/2025Apr/0009.html 15:11:39 Lisa's proposal can be seen in the web link above. The name is important - Cognitive Accessibility Guidance 15:12:32 There will be a subtitle ... "Making content usable for people with cognitive, intellectual, 15:12:32 developmental, learning and specific learning disabilities, 15:12:32 neurodivergence and mental health impairments and temporary 15:12:32 impairments that affect cognitive function. ... (We can agree on the 15:12:33 full subtitle later - let us just agree on the direction )" 15:13:09 There is an explanation in the introduction - needs to be in the abstract and the main document. 15:15:12 The second bit is about where we use the term cognitive accessibility - sometimes it does not work in all situations so in other places there may be a need to include 'our user group' rather than detailing each of the user types 15:15:18 julierawe has joined #coga 15:15:21 present+ 15:15:26 q+ 15:15:45 ack next 15:16:09 Our user groups 15:16:52 Julie appreciated the brevity of 'our user groups' but wonders if we are giving up some SEO value - may lose some search value when not using labels for different disabilities and difficulties. 15:17:41 "users with disabilities that impact cognitive accessibility" 15:17:47 Lisa felt that being discoverable may have to come from the descriptions as it is more important to keep things easy to understand. 15:17:48 q+ 15:18:03 Our user groups 15:19:17 Jennie felt that there could be an an additional strategy about what does support search engine optimisation and then then look at what will support searching. The abstract could contain some of the words needed that fit with the way WAI structure the back end for this 15:19:39 julierawe - maybe I misunderstood your point? If so, please clarify. 15:20:09 q+ 15:20:28 ack next 15:20:36 ack next 15:20:51 Lisa has concerns about the length of some of the ideas that include longer phrases with the words that might explain cognitive disability. 15:21:40 q+ to see if I understand Julie's use case 15:22:39 ack next 15:22:40 Jennie, you wanted to see if I understand Julie's use case 15:22:48 It is hard to keep the phrases short and easy to understand. 15:23:35 Q+ 15:24:23 Jennie asked if it was about the search issues that could arise when trying to find key words they know related to cpga within the document 15:24:25 coga 15:24:38 q+ 15:25:05 ack next 15:25:47 ack next 15:25:58 Lisa said we may have to depend on editor's discretion - add extra sentences to provide clarification. 15:27:08 aprove the titile? 15:27:08 1: The title is cognitive accessibility guidance 15:27:08 2: We have a sub title along the lines of (direct being approved only) : 15:27:08 Making content usable for people with cognitive, intellectual, 15:27:09 developmental, learning and specific learning disabilities, 15:27:09 neurodivergence and mental health impairments and temporary 15:27:09 impairments that affect cognitive function. ... (We can agree on the 15:27:11 full subtitle later - let us just agree on the direction ) 15:27:13 Tiffany suggested keeping the words we value highly in the beginning and then the shorter terms can be used later and not necessarily affect search engines 15:27:38 Angelo Young left earlier 15:28:11 +1 15:28:17 Lisa went over what is already suggested and wants a vote 15:28:17 +1 15:28:19 +1 15:28:24 +1 15:28:27 +1 15:28:31 +1 15:28:32 +1 15:28:46 We explain who is included in both the abstract and the introduction 15:28:56 [We are voting on title of "Cognitive Accessibility Guidance" and a subtitle "Making content usable for people with [long list] 15:29:20 Thank Julie 15:29:38 reolution . We replace the phrase people with learning and cognitive 15:29:38 disabilities in the document so that the intent is not changed, but it 15:29:38 is easier to read and follow. This would involve using different 15:29:38 phrases depending on what fits. Included phrases are: 15:29:39 - The phrase "cognitive accessibility"* where it fits - 15:29:39 *with a pop up glossary item with what the phrase means and a full 15:29:39 list of who is included 15:29:40 - The phrase " Our user groups" - also with a pop up explaining who 15:29:40 is included 15:30:09 -sometimes an extra sentence may be added such as: users with disabilities that impact cognitive accessibility 15:30:51 and sometimes use that sentce where it is helpful and eaiser to understand 15:31:50 This means we are leaving it to the editors' discretion - the above are some examples 15:32:10 q+ 15:32:26 ack next 15:33:10 Jennie suggested this could include a caveat - a certain amount of feedback could be gathered from larger chunks of information. 15:33:37 Asking is it clear who is included 15:33:58 resolution for wording chenges in the document? 15:34:00 +1 15:34:05 +1 15:34:06 +1 15:34:08 +1 15:34:09 +1 15:34:16 +1 15:34:16 q+ 15:34:26 ack next 15:35:26 Julie suggested using metadata when discussing 'our user groups' to overcome the lack of detail 15:36:27 q+ 15:36:56 ack next 15:37:46 Q+ 15:37:48 Jennie explained the difference between the machine finding content versus people seeing things in a document that help with search 15:38:55 Keyword strategy on the backend to help with the search funtionality 15:39:20 q+ 15:39:27 ammended resolution to include keywords with all diffrent disabilites and spelling 15:39:37 ack next 15:39:40 ack next 15:40:01 +1 15:40:19 Tiffany mentioned similar help could be provided with tool tips 15:40:57 Lisa mentioned that at the moment we have the definitions that include all the alternatives to certain disabilities - include in the glossary. 15:41:33 The resolutions could be added to the style guide. 15:41:46 next item 15:42:02 Lisa would like to send this to the list for a last chance to change these ideas 15:43:11 Looking at feedback from community groups 15:43:28 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FkyRIP3CAuZ-JAazUOAUI64TYCrEfOkKSeBg94mMOkg/edit?resourcekey=0-HM4QyycKbkfCwWAXzIymrw&tab=t.0#heading=h.wyaggdwvjazi 15:44:42 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VsHS-oQDR7XY87E91sd-zqYaq8DCH9Ppwf9YeqCNcks/edit?tab=t.aohwqsygorkh 15:47:55 Looking at the comments and quotes - regarding issues around resizing windows and what is missed - ensure information does not disappear with new layout 15:48:51 q+ 15:49:05 ack next 15:49:08 The resolution on the watch makes it unreadable 15:50:03 You may have to linearise more of the content 15:52:09 Julie asked if we can ask the person who commented on this issue what is the actual problem 15:52:38 Tiffany suggested that zoom-in may be having an impact 15:54:48 May also depend on the size of screen and width and height differences. 15:55:44 +1 to asking for more information 15:55:51 q+ 15:55:57 ack next 15:56:20 Useful to see an example of the challenges being described 15:56:35 q+ 15:56:49 Agree with Julierawe that we could use a description of the example. 15:57:11 ack next 15:58:25 RRSAgent, publish minutes 15:58:27 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/04/07-coga-minutes.html Lisa 15:58:33 Thank you, Lisa and EA!
