OAA Accessibility Evaluator: new alpha 16 version
JG: http://code.google.com/p/oaa-accessibility-cache-inspector/downloads/list
JG: New version (alpha 16) includes 10 new ARIA widget validation rules
JG: Working on making OAA Accessibility Evaluator compatible with auto-updating.
JG: Three different views: Elements, Rule Categories and Rule Summary
JG: Please test current rules in OAA Accessibility Evaluator: you can drill down to more information on a rule or element.
JG: Also, every view includes a "Summary Report" button, which creates an HTML report.
JG: Before I distribute the tool, we need to implement a 1.0 ruleset.
JG: Plus a lot more testing...
AA: Will run RPT against ibm.com and send you the report.
AA: What about CSV export?
JG: Under OAA Element Types, when you select the "View Report" button, the report includes a link to CSV export.
AA: The detailed results also need to show developers where to find the problems.
Renaming/rebranding the group
JG: Next agenda item: OpenAjax Alliance will no longer exist -- what about the name Open Accessibility Alliance?
JG: Would have rules development and coding practices sub-groups.
JG: The coding practices group would have a website that would provide numerous examples of how to implement rules and techniques.
JG: What would be the ramifications for IBM?
RS: We would need to look at licensing agreements.
JG: Could new group just inherit the OAA licensing agreements, or would it all have to be renegotiated.
RS: Probably would need to be renegotiated.
JG: In terms of our current focus, it's about creating rules and evaluation library, not really about the tools, which are consumers of the libraries.
JG: We don't need to make any decisions right now, can revisit after we get the 1.0 ruleset finalized.
