The SC language would have to change more substantively. 14:15:56 q? 14:15:58 ...for documents it's almost always true that there is a title or some text that describes the topic or purpose of the document. 14:15:59 Please ignore what I have in the PR about using filename for titles on non-web documents. I didn't understand that I had the liberty to split documents from software. 14:16:00 ack GreggVan 14:16:00 ack gregg 14:16:06 ack bruce 14:16:06 bruce, you wanted to say please ignore what i have in the PR about using filename for titles on non-web documents 14:16:08 Q+ 14:16:55 Bruce: Please ignore the text about the name of the document being used. All for splitting documents from software and treating them differently. 14:17:09 q? 14:17:38 Gregg: Then we can say that the SC doesn't apply to software. The whole purpose is to label the window and software doesn't necessarily have windows. 14:17:43 q? 14:17:55 ack Mike_Pluke 14:17:55 ack Mike_Pluke 14:18:24 q+ to suggest switching to Google doc then 14:18:31 Mike: Gregg has said this the way this is understood by the group working on the EN 301 549 14:18:36 q? 14:18:58 ack bruce This addresses the PR and so we can switch to the Google document 14:19:05 q? 14:19:09 ack bruce 14:19:09 bruce, you wanted to suggest switching to Google doc then 14:19:20 bruce: This addresses the PR and so we can switch to the Google document 14:19:21 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-U-EpohlWn5DzaG5kDGhuQIItYI5pCq_gCLFxLhcQH4/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.m7itzlcauhau 14:19:41 ...don't think note 1 makes sense any more for non-web documents. 14:21:01 POLL: Do we agree as a group that 2.4.2 page title applies to non web documents and not for software? 1 for yes, 2 for no 14:21:09 1 14:21:12 1 14:21:16 1 14:21:16 1 14:21:17 s/title/titled/ 14:21:17 1 14:21:22 1 14:21:25 1 14:21:29 1 14:21:46 s/This addresses the PR/We have addressed comments in the PR 14:23:36 Mary Jo: In web, title is in reference to tab name. 14:23:37 q? 14:23:46 Q+ 14:23:54 ack Mike_Pluke 14:24:14 q+ 14:24:20 q+ 14:24:31 ack GreggVan 14:24:55 q+ 14:26:03 ack bruce 14:26:55 Gregg: Want to make sure what we have in WCAG2ICT doesn't contradict what's in the understanding. 14:27:18 q? 14:27:24 Bruce: Agree that Note 1 isn't needed. 14:27:59 Gregg: only 5-10% of Word users know where to put the title. 14:28:25 q? 14:28:27 Bruce: The first line in a document isn't programmatically a title. 14:29:01 Gregg: AI can solve that and have a script to reliably pick up a title. If we're writing for the future. 14:29:14 Bruce & Gregg agree no note 1. 14:29:14 q? 14:29:18 ack ChrisLoiselle 14:30:28 Question on the Google doc - word substitutions should you use "Non-web documents" or "Documents"? 14:30:48 gregg: Should be consistent with other SCs where we use "Non-web Documents" 14:31:05 s/Question/Chris: Question/ 14:31:09 q? 14:31:17 chris: Agree to remove Note 1. 14:31:43 Gregg: Does WCAG 2.2 have any notes in the original text? 14:31:51 Mary Jo: No, it doesn't 14:32:11 Gregg: For software do we need to provide a rationale? 14:32:31 Chris: Reads out the proposed text. 14:32:43 q+ 14:33:25 Mary Jo: For non web software, would possibly propose new SC? 14:33:33 q? 14:34:00 Mary Jo: We can propose substantial word substitutions per our charter. 14:34:01 q? 14:34:15 Q+ 14:34:16 ... Window and unique per instance 14:35:10 Gregg: Introduction of views and windows. If a system has windows or views and if...then they should be X 14:35:15 q? 14:35:16 gregg: Yes, you'd have to introduce the notion of Windows, but there could be a requirement - if you can have different windows or screens that each have a unique name. 14:35:21 ack Daniel 14:35:26 ack Mike_Pluke 14:35:49 screens is a hardware based requirement? 14:36:20 There are a lot of people that say it's wrong that Software Titled isn't a requirement. 14:37:06 Daniel: The proposal saying it shouldn't be applied as written to non-web software. There may be some other way to say that. 14:37:39 q? 14:37:46 Good catch on "screens". 14:37:51 q+ 14:38:12 q? 14:38:16 Gregg: "Screens" could be used so then the mobile aspect can get looped in. 14:38:16 -1 to Daniel -- I think its very important to say "should not apply" without equivocation 14:38:18 Where software is in an environment that supports windows or views (as in mobile apps) and there is a way to provide a programmatically determinable unique name for each, each window or view is provided with a unique human readable view that can be used to distinguish them from each other. 14:38:22 q? 14:38:23 q+ 14:38:25 ack Sam 14:38:33 q+ to suggest This SC may be difficult to apply to non-web software... 14:39:08 PhilDay please something stronger than "difficult" 14:39:20 q+ 14:39:20 Where software is in an environment that supports windows or pages/screens (as in mobile apps) and there is a way to provide a programmatically determinable unique name for each, each window or view is provided with a unique human readable view that can be used to distinguish them from each other. 14:39:25 q? 14:39:27 Sam: Bringing up "views" is a substantial change that would need some scaffolding - like definitions. We could simply go with more consistent text "problematic". 14:39:29 i think i am okay with "problematic" 14:39:31 ack GreggVan 14:40:20 Where software is in an environment that supports windows or pages/screens (as in mobile apps) and there is a way to provide a programmatically determinable unique name for each, each window or page/screen is provided with a unique human readable name that can be used to distinguish them from each other. 14:40:23 ack PhilDay 14:40:23 PhilDay, you wanted to suggest This SC may be difficult to apply to non-web software... 14:40:45 q? 14:40:58 ack LauraM 14:41:14 Laura: We're making this more complicated for people. 14:41:21 q? 14:41:25 q+ 14:41:29 ack GreggVan 14:41:29 ack GreggVan 14:41:44 q+ to ask "fundamental alteration" rather than "problematic" ? 14:41:47 From Gregg: Where software is in an environment that supports windows or pages/screens (as in mobile apps) and there is a way to provide a programmatically determinable unique name for each, each window or page/screen is provided with a unique human readable name that can be used to distinguish them from each other. 14:42:14 Gregg: If we want to have a rationale, what I've put in IRC explains it. 14:42:52 Gregg: That way when a user wants to switch around there is a unique name that helps them choose the right window. 14:43:18 Laura: The more casual description is more understandable. 14:43:38 q+ 14:43:47 ...want to make sure the original intention is captured in an understandable way. 14:44:20 q? 14:44:29 q+ to ask "fundamental alteration" rather than "problematic" ? 14:44:38 ChrisLoiselle: May be able to add Gregg's explanation after the first paragraph in proposal 2 in the Google doc. 14:44:43 ack bruce 14:44:43 bruce, you wanted to ask "fundamental alteration" rather than "problematic" ? and to ask "fundamental alteration" rather than "problematic" ? 14:45:44 bruce: We should say something "clean" about it. Don't think the caveat of windowed environment should be included. 14:46:18 GreggVan There are things that don't have any window and the user can't switch between anything so a title isn't needed. 14:46:47 ...this is in there to support AT users. 14:46:47 q+ 14:46:58 q? 14:47:13 If you're in an app that doesn't have but one screen, it doesn't make sense to require it. 14:47:17 ack GreggVan 14:47:17 For software direct application of xxxxx is problemmatic. We recommend something along the line of Where software is in an environment that supports windows or pages/screens (as in mobile apps) and there is a way to provide a programmatically determinable unique name for each, each window or page/screen is provided with a unique human readable name that can be used to distinguish them from each other. 14:47:27 ack sam 14:48:02 q+ to say i don't agree product name need not be available for non-windowed softward 14:48:29 sam: This is the dance we have with how we phrase things. I don't think the Windows environment is covered anywhere. 14:48:42 q? 14:48:52 ...There has to be some caveats where there isn't a windowed environment. 14:49:25 q+ 14:49:28 bruce: There's still a name - even on screens for ATMs where there are screens that really should have a name. 14:49:39 ...a product name 14:49:43 q? 14:49:43 ack bruce 14:49:44 bruce, you wanted to say i don't agree product name need not be available for non-windowed softward 14:49:54 ack GreggVan 14:51:17 Gregg: For accessibility, the name is for the screen reader. For an ATM situation, is the name of the app or product necessary to use the product. Not really. 14:51:55 ...you may want to know what bank you're at, but that's not the name of the app. 14:52:02 q? 14:52:39 q+ 14:52:48 sam: Agree with Gregg. ATMs or Point-of-sale machines don't really need a name. The context of where it is used makes it obvious. 14:52:49 q? 14:52:51 ack bruce 14:53:15 q+ 14:53:44 q? 14:53:49 Bruce: Disagrees that when speech mode is turned on, the original screen may not be announced. Maybe a kiosk does multiple things and the user would need to know which aspect they're using. 14:54:02 q+ 14:54:05 ...don't think this should be limited to windowing apps. 14:54:15 ack GreggVan 14:55:35 Gregg: Turn on speech and you're on the home screen. The existing requirements say the screen needs to be read. What's on the screen is never the name of the software, it's the name of the bank or the function you're doing. The name of the software wouldn't be helpful. 14:55:44 q? 14:56:01 bank name is name and is providing descriptive identification 14:56:40 q+ 14:57:06 q+ 14:57:22 q+ 14:57:24 ack LauraM 14:57:30 LauraM "Never" is a broad statement. When speech is activated on a Kiosk, the screen saver (which has the bank info) will be gone and won't be spoken. 14:57:45 ...prefers the language is simpler without caveats. 14:57:50 ack GreggVan 14:58:07 q+ to say closed systems are not a good example here - there is no way of swapping windows/apps/views/modes 14:58:28 Gregg: If the splash screen isn't spoken already then it's a failure that not all info on the screen is spoken. 14:58:54 ack Daniel 14:59:42 Daniel: On the web - topic or purpose may be able to be met by some software. 14:59:46 ack ChrisLoiselle 15:00:10 Chris: We'll have to continue formulating proposals in the Google doc for next week. 15:00:14 ack PhilDay 15:00:14 PhilDay, you wanted to say closed systems are not a good example here - there is no way of swapping windows/apps/views/modes 15:00:31 rrsagent, make minutes 15:00:32 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/05/01-wcag2ict-minutes.html ChrisLoiselle 15:00:47 PhilDay Closed systems aren't an appropriate application of this SC.
