Minutes
Final review of rules and messaging prior to release of 1.0 beta
Reading Order Rules
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/ORDER_1/
JG: Last week we had two Reading Order rules that we discussed, but based on that discussion, the more important rule seemed to be the CSS positioning rule
JG: The other rule was about the relationship of sectioning elements and reading order. We decided to delete it, as it wasn't clear what the exact relationships were.
NH: I will do some editing to the messaging of Order 1 (minor)
Landmark Rules
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/LANDMARK_2/
JG: Next rules: Landmark 2, 16, 17, 18
JG: Landmark 2: All content must be contained in landmarks
MJ: How important is it not to add role=x on sectioning elements with default role
JG: According to Steve Faulkner's data, all modern browsers will be able to find the default roles for these HTML5 elements.
JG: But if you do add the default roles, we don't consider it an error
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/LANDMARK_16/
JG: Landmark 16: region landmark must have accessible name
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/LANDMARK_17/
JG: Landmark 17: Landmarks must be uniquely identifiable
JG: We had previously talked about accessible label; we've now dropped the use of that term
JG: Screen readers read the role, followed by the accessible name if there is one
JG: Need to disambiguate when there are multiple instances of landmarks with the same role
Group consensus: Makes sense
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/LANDMARK_18/
JG: Landmark 18: Landmarks must identify content regions
NH: We address 6 of the 8 landmark roles; we don't include 'application' or 'form'
JG: Will change list of target resources in JS code to omit 'article'
Image Rules
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/IMAGE_1/
JG: Image 1: Images must have alt text
JG: Image 2: Alt text must summarize purpose
JG: Image 3: Alt text must not include filename
JG: Image 4: Alt text no more than 100 characters
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/IMAGE_4_EN/
JG: Image 5: Verify image is decorative
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/IMAGE_5/
JG: Image 6: Long description for complex images
JG: http://fae20-dev.cita.illinois.edu/rulesets/rc/rule/IMAGE_6/
Summary
JG: Looks like we have consensus to publish 1.0.0-beta
