Minutes
Rich: Adding links for:
- reporting best practices
- IDE best practices
Mike: Moving on to WCAG 2 validation rules.
Mike: Explains Rule definitions supporting WCAG 2.0 table.
Mike: Most of my work this week has been on: Principle 4: Robust - Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies
Mike: an element can be labeled by either ARIA label or a labelby
Mike: Some of these rules will be through manual checking.
Rich: agree
Mike: this work is complete (i.e., the 4 tables)
Mike: Did all info from the original page get captured in the reorg page. Need extra set of eyes to confirm.
Jon: concerned about reporting duplicate ids that don't really affect the accessibility of a page.
Jon: question about audio rules. Do we want to use labledby or describedby for audio?
Jon: 122.M01] Captions are provided for all prerecorded audio content in synchronized media, except when the media is a media alternative for text and is clearly labeled as such. Require a manual check in some cases and report a potential violation in other cases.
Jon: 123.PV01 - change labelledby to describedby
Jon: utube may have some way to test if timed video is supplied.
Jon: there may be a custom built flash player that we couldn't test accessibility.
Jon: So sometimes it will be a manual check. In other cases it could be a PV.
Jon: Flash supports W3C timed text format.
Jon: can check if a timed text file is present
Jon/Rich: If timed text files is present, the test is passed.
Jon: uTube is another potential case to process for unique video captioning.
Mike: How do you tell which play is being used?
Jon: Fairly easy to detect use of Flash player.
Jon: looking at uTube site. May not be possible to detect use of uTube player.
Jon: uTube doses not support W3C standard.
Rich: Section 3 of Wiki page should be fleshed out.
Jon: Does omitting inline language attributes bug anyone else? WCAG doesn't require inline language markup any longer in level A guidelines.
Rich: Do we want to modify section 3?
Jon: 3.1.2 would be a manual check.
Mike: Will make changes.
Nathan: looking to see how to determine what an abbreviation is in their product.
Nathan: will have to do further investigation.
Nathan: thinks they have a list of abbreviations and if one is found they flag it.
Mike: How would one determine what's in the list?
Rich: List doesn't have to be exhaustive.
Rich: If an abbreviation is detected and it's not in the list, flag a PV.
Rich: will write some json to test a widget. this will pulled into the processing engine.
Mike: will use json for rules
Mike: will use javascript object model for describing the rules.
Rich: will be out next week
Jon: won't be here either
Mike is business next week as well. Hence cancel call next week.
Rather Mike is busy next week.
Nathan is out the next 3 weeks
no meeting the week of the 20th
Mike: asked folks to review rule tables to make sure nothing was lost from the transfer of information from the original Wiki page to the reorg page.
Rich: will go through section 4 to make sure nothing was lost.
Nathan: won't attend the next couple of calls.
