Meeting minutes

New PR Triage

<github-bot> I can't comment on that because it doesn't look like a github issue to me.

editorial: w3c/aria#2763

pkra: about weird aria markup in our spec

matt_king: so you no long have to use separate tags for properties and states?

pkra: not yet and I'm not sure jamesn supports

jamesn: I'm fine if you do it

WPT Open PRs

<github-bot> I can't comment on that because it doesn't look like a github issue to me.

Deep Dive planning

<github-bot> I can't comment on that because it doesn't look like a github issue to me.

spectranaut_: we will have once a month aria orientations -- coming soon!

Jacques: if folks are interested, I'd love to talk about focusgroup

Jacques: realistically, I encourage folks to read the proposal, and if they have questions want a deep dive we can schedule one

Jacques: but if no one has any questions, and are find with it, it seems fine

Jacques: to not have a deep dive

Should :target-current pseudo class also imply aria-current=true on an active scroll marker?

Rahim: while going through my notifications, I realized this a dupe

Rahim: so maybe this one can be closed?

Jacques: this was opened for the purpose of creating an agenda item for this group?

jamesn: and the one in css-aam has enough context, the same information? I suppose you can reference back

jamesn: I can take a look and make sure css-aam has the right permissions, and can add labels like agenda, etc

Rahim: I quick question about hte issue, I skimmed through it -- the target current pseudo class, it is for scroll markerts?

Jacques: I don't have all that much context, I was just a liaison to get it discussed in the group

Jacques: direct your questions to them, maybe in the css-aam issue

Rahim: so this maps to aria-current, the aria-current attribute is not added to the content, the AT convey that this is current

(someone): yes that is right

Change tooltip to name prohibited

jamesn: we have an issue you filed against ACT, it sounds like this doesn't impact ACT tests, but we break anything so we can merge it?

giacomo-petri: yes

jamesn: we can merge it!

Matt_King: this requires an APG practices update

jamesn: does this prevent merging?

Matt_King: just the creation of the issue, before merge

scott: I'll make an issue

spectranaut_: merge it!!

jamesn: merging

[html-aam PR 510] switch attribute for checkbox inputs

Rahim: I wanted to know next steps

spectranaut_: can you put the checkboxs, and link to the html issue?

Rahim: yes
