This folder is "WCAG 3 COGA Feedback" and it's located in the COGA Taskforce Shared Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nPxnxFdZq3Zz4xFRGCujY0pOAf53cx7e?usp=drive_link 15:49:20 LenB: Helpful to look at what Claude flagged and to also look at the User Themes so we can think about what Claude might have missed. 15:49:53 LenB: As a team, we can call out what seems to be missing from our own user needs list — we can add to our user needs list and help prioritize our work for later in 2026. 15:50:25 LenB: I did a raw binary "is it covered or not" and then do is it partly met. 15:50:59 LenB: Claude limitations is that I don't know all of the user needs that have been discussed over the years. 15:51:18 LenB: Another limitation is that WCAG 3 is focused on testing whether a user need is met. 15:51:22 q+ 15:51:42 tiffanyburtin has joined #coga 15:51:49 LenB: Doing this next bit as humans is going to be really helpful. 15:52:25 LenB: At the bottom of the google doc is a tab called "AI Assessment of User Need Coverage" 15:52:55 Link to that "AI assessment" tab: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?pli=1&tab=t.fan0staxn8ap#heading=h.urhpdk27cgh3 15:53:29 Can we add tags such as "User Need" or "Testing" and others to identify for us and future AI summarizing? 15:54:08 Q+ 15:54:15 LenB: The tab includes a note that the prompt on its own may not provide as powerful results as it did for Len because I have already been in conversation with Claude about these user needs. 15:54:28 ack julierawe 15:55:18 julierawe: Assertions are in WCAG 3 to address things that can't be tested 15:56:02 LenB: WCAG 3 has a big focus on testing. It's a big difference between the COGA resources and WCAG 3. 15:56:23 LenB: My prompt told Claude not to ignore assertions in WCAG 3. 15:56:40 ack tiffanyburtin 15:56:56 tiffanyburtin: We could use tags to help Claude quantify some of the items so it takes less work of human brains 15:56:58 LenB 15:58:20 tiffanyburtin: If we put a tag on certain things, so I know where these things are physically 15:58:28 q+ 15:58:52 LenB: It does have that kind of tagging, to a point. 16:01:38 Column L in the tracker spreadsheet will link to the draft github issue. It will be easier for a lot of COGA members to add comments or wordsmithing suggestions if we do the draft github issues in a google doc rather than in tracker spreadsheet. 16:02:57 Jan: We probably should include instructions in bracket to help people jump back and forth between the spreadsheet and the draft github issues. 16:06:09 Action item: Julie will ask Eric and Lisa about which github issues can be ready to review at this Thursday's meeting. 16:07:02 rrsagent, make minutes 16:07:03 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/03/23-coga-minutes.html julierawe
