# mathonweb CG -- a11y TF, 2017/04/24

* Daniel: we're using aria alerts for WIRIS
  * => Demo www.wiris.com/demo/editor,
http://www.wiris.com/en/editor/docs/keyboardonly
  * accessible labels for formula and position
  * Volker: navigation by arrow keys?
    * Yes.
    * Volker: skipping subexpressions?
      * a bit more difficult
  * Daniel: discussing with Sina who didn't like the browsing the entire
toolbar to find the input they want
    * wants shortcuts like `frac`
      * Volker: so a bit like LaTeX
    * Volker: Sina is a power problem. Testing with Sina and grad student
gave a better baseline
  * Charles: could you send link to share?
* Peter: it would be nice to create a page with current practices in
editing
  * Desmos, WIRIS , more?

* Daniel: back to math role
  * now feel it's useful, like img but not "... image" but (sometimes)
"...(math)"
  * Volker: still concerned about "math"
    * not general enough for scientific content (e.g., chemistry)
    * e.g., "equation"
  * Daniel: agree need for more general
* Peter: as per last discussion, roledescription seems destined for htat
  * but "...math" might be more vendor-specific, so we could approach them

* Peter: do you feel ready to discuss with ARIA WG?
  * coordinate, ask them what we can provide them with, how we might help
positively shape
  * Daniel: and simply get to know each other
  * ACTION Yes

* Charles: finishing Benetech epub examples
  * sharing with publishers
  * publishers hammering Benetech
   * state legislation, esp texas, expect WCAG II
  * interest in sharing?
    * ACTION: yes please

* Daniel: do we need TF & CG meeting? maybe unify?
  * Peter: we did talk about other topics
  * Volker: main meeting is useful if there's only few people there
    * TF is good because it's small
  * Peter: seems a11y is main focus, like it b/c we get work done
* Volker: maybe theme?
  * Daniel: maybe better agenda, prep
  * Peter: so maybe a11y - role=math (from 2week ago), Volker demos
    * Volker: https://zorkow.github.io/speech-rule-engine/www/
