Are we going to end up with 2 versions of 2.4.2 or just 1 version? Also are we renaming 2.4.2? 14:09:01 ChrisLoiselle: Google doc is for brainstorming ideas during call, then update PR after the call. If it is too confusing having 2 sources we could combine 14:09:31 q? 14:10:03 maryjom: Qs for bruce. Did you incorporate proposal 2 or 3 into the PR? 14:10:26 maryjom: Gregg has also added another proposal which is different 14:10:59 bruce: Updated PR that was done 2 weeks ago to incorporate proposal 2. Had issue with heading levels 14:11:22 bruce: If all happy with proposal 2, is the PR close enough? 14:13:00 [Chris sharing screen to show PR 626 split screen with the google doc] 14:13:33 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/pull/626 14:15:53 q+ 14:16:11 ack maryjom 14:16:47 maryjom: Consider 2.4.1 - we did different things for software and documents. We didn't have separate headings, just parenthetic statements 14:17:07 bruce: Couldn't use this model - as we don't have the word substitution for software 14:17:39 q+ to say parenthetic still works 14:18:45 bruce: suggests using separate headings for applying to documents vs software - to make it clearer 14:19:02 maryjom: This change would be problematic for 2.4.1 where notes are split between the 2 14:19:54 q? 14:20:17 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/pull/624/files 14:22:15 PhilDay: Think the separate headings approach that Bruce has proposed is cleaner than the current parenthetic statements approach that we previously used. 14:22:36 ChrisLoiselle & maryjom - does involve quite a lot of editorial work to do this 14:23:19 maryjom: Suggest we put this to the group via a survey and compare the 2 approaches 14:23:39 ... have an alternative PR with Gregg's proposal with the other formatting 14:23:52 Sorry, that was wrong PR! 14:24:07 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/pull/626/files 14:24:19 ACTION: create alternative PR, then issue survey comparing the different approaches. maryjom to do this. 14:25:48 bruce: Does it make sense to have 2 subheadings rather than 1 (H6 vs H5)? 14:26:12 bruce: Second question is what we do with short headings? Propose keep the same, and just change the text following 14:27:16 maryjom: May need to replace the word page in the short name 14:27:27 ... (show the word substitution) 14:28:27 Mike_Pluke has joined #wcag2ict 14:28:36 ... This was what the ETSI committee did - change the short name to include word substitution so it no longer referred to Page (which is web-specific language). 14:29:18 bruce: If we do this word substitution we lose all the words that were in the WCAG 2.2 SC - none of these appear in the non-web SC title 14:29:47 GreggVan has joined #wcag2ict 14:29:54 q+ 14:30:03 present+ 14:30:08 ack PhilDay 14:30:08 PhilDay, you wanted to say parenthetic still works 14:30:19 ack GreggVan 14:31:17 GreggVan: Proposed language doesn't make sense to me. If name is defined as being descriptive - just stating every product's name should be its name 14:31:57 ... What does the title of the product mean? 14:32:43 Change would be: 2.4.2 Software Names: [Non-web software] have names that provide description identification. 14:33:35 q+ to make change to handle in PR 626 14:33:50 q? 14:34:22 Q+ 14:34:37 GreggVan: Intent of this provision - when you change pages (URLs) - that the user has an idea which page they have landed on. 14:34:39 present+ 14:35:30 ... Could apply to each "window" in software - but not all software has windows. 14:35:45 q? 14:36:18 ... If a product has windows, then each window should be differentiable 14:37:06 ... But if we can't talk about windows - then just say it doesn't apply to software 14:37:49 ChrisLoiselle: Could add this to a survey 14:38:21 ...

Name is fine - just stop there as it's not really descriptive - it doesn't describe a topic or purpose. Name is an identifier. Not a descriptive identifier 14:42:58 q+ to suggest unique identifier rather than descriptive 14:44:07 ChrisLoiselle: Often have some sort of "About" section to get more information about the product - which could help the user to identify more about the product - so we could refer to context specific help for this 14:44:13 q? 14:44:20 ack ChrisLoiselle 14:44:23 q? 14:44:26 ack PhilDay 14:44:26 PhilDay, you wanted to suggest unique identifier rather than descriptive 14:44:54 q+ 14:44:58 Phil: Unique identifier could be an option 14:44:59 q? 14:45:05 ack Mike_Pluke 14:45:16 Mike_Pluke: have no problem with unique identifier 14:45:35 q+ to suggest that unique identifier does not work 14:45:39 ...

And note 2 also uses "Title" so we should reword this. 14:51:43 q+ 14:52:18 ChrisLoiselle: We may also have to not talk about "word substitution" as it is not quite accurate 14:52:39 We are substituting the whole SC - not just a word within it 14:52:50 Although not required by this success criterion, ensuring that apps that have individual windows or screens that support a title or name for the window or screen, provide a title/name that allows unique identification, and where possible describes the topic or purpose).

This would address the user needs identified in the Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.2 Intent section, and is generally 14:55:22 bruce: Think it is OK for notes to refer to Title, even if we have substituted Name for title - I don't think it is contradictory. 14:55:41 GreggVan: instead of all the notes - just have the statement above 14:55:52 ack GreggVan 14:56:13 bbailey has joined #wcag2ict 14:56:18 The does not apply directly to software through simple word substutio but ensuring that apps that have individual windows or screens that support a title or name for the window or screen, be required to provide a title/name that allows unique identification, and where possible describes the topic or purpose).

However, ensuring that software applicationss that have individual windows or screens that support a title or name for the window or screen, require that software provide a title/name that allows unique identification (and, where possible, describes the topic or purpose). 14:57:23 This would address the user needs identified in the Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.2 Intent section, and is generally considered a best practice. 14:57:42 q? 14:58:00 q? 14:58:11 Notes for 2.4.2 in PR 626 are unchanged from 15 November 2024 pub. 14:58:20 ChrisLoiselle: Best thing to do is bring this proposal in a survey for comment from the larger TF 14:58:47 I think it is okay for notes to refer to title, even though the suggested replacement uses title. 14:58:57 GreggVan: Quick question. Mike has 24 hours to do final tweak on EN 301 549. 14:59:06 ...
