      any comments on Jan 'Applies to:' addition to the Resources document

<kford> JS: Any comments/ objections to Jan's comments?

<kford> Sorry, that was JA:

Greg: are those going to link to definitions to the glossary or there 
are some
... don't think there's an entry for configuration settings

<kford> GL talking about some having glossary entries and some not.

Jan I can write a little section explaining what they are

<kford> JR: Maybe we need a section talking about what these are.

<Jan> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0095.html

Greg: user interface doesn't work the way we define – is this just shorthand

Jan: I can fix these up

Jeanne: are you thinking a paragraph that would go in the introduction?

Jan: yes, explaining levels of conformance and things like that

Jeanne: I would put it right after using levels

Zakiim, take up next


      approve greg's spellcheck and sequential navigation.

<jeanne> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0093.html

<jeanne> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0093.html

Jeanne: where we ended with the last call was Greg was going to update 
language

<kford> Group reminding itself on the topic.

Greg: Mostly editorial. The third sentence of the definition.

<jeanne> http://jspellman.github.io/UAAG/UAAG20/#def-element

Greg: I took the element type out and moved that into its own bullet 
item. Also made examples lists parallel

Jim: objections or comments?

<kford> JS: Is everyone good with GL wording?

+1

<kford> I am fine with it.

<Greg> The correct third sentence should be "UAAG 2.0 also uses the term 
"element" more generally to refer to any discrete unit within the 
content (e.g. a specific image, video, sound, heading, list, or list item)."

<jeanne> RESOLUTION: accept Greg's wording of the definition of element 
and element type

Greg: second email about spellchecking
... I greatly increased the amount of intent

<kford> JS reading wording.

<kford> JS reading wording.

<kford> JA: That works.

<Greg> Here is the revised text for 3.2.3 Spell Check that we approved 
on last week's call, and suggested expansion of its Intent section (the 
first paragraph being untouched, everything after that being new):

<Greg> 3.2.3 Spell Check: The user can have spelling assistance for 
editable text in rendered content. (Level AA)

<Greg> Intent of Success Criterion 3.2.3:

<Greg> Users with various disabilities benefit from spell checkers. The 
ability to check spelling is particularly important for users with 
disabilities such as dyslexia that significantly increase the likelihood 
of misspelled words. Spellcheckers also alert blind and low vision users 
to errors in text entry.

<Greg> Spell checking is only expected in editable text in content, most 
commonly text input controls and form fields. It is not required on text 
input fields that are part of the UA user interface, such as an address 
bar or File Open dialog box. Spell checking is also not required on 
static, read-only, or disabled text elements, controls, and fields in 
content, except when they display...

<Greg> ...text the user can edit indirectly (e.g. static text that the 
user can alter using nearby buttons), or when the user agent is in an 
authoring mode that allows the user to edit text that would otherwise be 
static.

<Greg> Spell checking should be available regardless of how the text was 
entered. For example, text may be entered by the user typing, pasted 
from the clipboard, initialized by the content (e.g. the HTML value 
attribute), set programmatically by scripts or assistive technology, or 
filled in by a feature of the user agent itself (e.g. auto-complete).

<Greg> Spell checking which highlights unrecognized words as they are 
entered is preferred over requiring the user to use a separate tool or 
editing pass.

<Greg> Spell checking should be optional, so that it can be avoided by 
users who find it too distracting, or for whom the highlighting makes 
the text less legible.

<Greg> Note: It is recommended that user agents also provide assistance 
with grammar, as well as spelling. Grammar can pose more difficulty than 
spelling for people with some cognitive disabilities or whose native 
language is signed.

<kford> Group looking for consensus.

<kford> On GLs writing.

<kford> Resolution: Group accepts GLs writing.


      Revisions to Abstracts

<jeanne> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0098.html

<kford> JS: Went through some comments on abstract.

<kford> JS reads the text again.

<Greg> I'd prefer something replace "applications that retrieve and 
render web content" as that's not strictly true (they don't have to do 
both), but since this is non-normative it's probably okay.

<Greg> Editorial, but second paragraph would match the order things are 
in the document if best practices comes between Intent and Examples, as 
we include best practices in the Intent section, before the Examples 
sections.

<kford> Resolution: Group accepts editorial changes to abstract.


      any comments on Jan 'Applies to:' addition to the Resources document

<Jan> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0099.html

<kford> JR: This wil be a new section under using levels.

Jan: these are the definitions of the five tags. I still need to write 
the intro sentences
... look back at ATAG and they didn't have it – hard to define

Greg: persistent or single session only?

Jan: that's larger than this

Greg: the note about recognized seems to come out of the blue.

Jan: they're just straight cut and paste from the glossary

Greg: seems a shame to just repeat them

Jan: I could just say when success criteria is applicable to the user 
interface and link that
... will come back with that shortly


      what's next, implementations, tests, testing criteria

Greg: discussing running link check

Jan: some talk in the document about implementing – self-referential, 
changed that?

<kford> KP and GL and JS working out how to ensure linking worked correctly.

<kford> JA: Asking if we absolutely have to do this?

<kford> Group agress to hold off on doing this extra verification.


      any comments on Jan 'Applies to:' addition to the Resources document

<Jan> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0100.html

<kford> JR goes over his changes.

Jeanne: I like the intro paragraph

<kford> JS says she likes as does GL.

<kford> KF likes also.

<Greg> Looks good.

+1

<kford> KP likes.

Jan: the tag would go here into the applied to session with the 
appropriate bullet and then within the appropriate bullet if there's a 
defined term that term would go out to the definition

<kford> Can ne of you write, maybe Jan, exactly what you just said.

Jan: linking inside those bullet points

Jeanne: I can put anchors on each of the five bullets – what's linked

Greg: make these things in the applies to block link to this applies to 
section, then my script will see it's already a link

<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to global replace the terms in each Applies To 
section to the Intro bullet points, and then link the Intro bullet 
points to their definition, if applicable. [recorded in 
http://www.w3.org/2014/09/11-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1035 - Global replace the terms in each 
applies to section to the intro bullet points, and then link the intro 
bullet points to their definition, if applicable. [on Jeanne F Spellman 
- due 2014-09-18].

<Greg> The key is that "UA user interface" will always be a link: if 
it's in an Applies To block it will link to the bullet item in the 
Applies To section of the Intro; otherwise it will link to the 
definition in the glossary.

Jeanne: are we done making changes to the document and are we ready to 
publish it?

<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to add the Applies To section to the 
Introduction [recorded in 
http://www.w3.org/2014/09/11-ua-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1036 - Add the applies to section to the 
introduction [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2014-09-18].

Greg: is the stabilization draft a technical term?

Jan: no, it's just within the working group the one we think is right 
before the final one

Greg: so we are publishing it but not as the final working draft


      consensus to publish

Jeanne: what we want is for people who commented on the last draft to 
say okay I'm good with my comment. That's the purpose of this draft. 
Then we can go to the next phase..

<kford> JS: Does anyone object to publishing?

<kford> All respond with no.

<kford> Resolution: Group agrees to publish the next draft of UAAG 2.0.

<kford> RESOLUTION: Group agreed to publish next draft of UAAG 2.0 
refernece.


      what's next, implementations, tests, testing criteria

Jeanne: here's the plan – we are going to publish with the minimum of 
time limit for comments that we are allowed to, which I believe is three 
weeks. Also on the day we publish I will be sending out emails to all 
the people who commented asking them to approve our changes based on the 
comments.

<AllanJ> 
http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/public-permissive-exit-criteria.html

<kford> Jeanne can you send minutes and such?

<kford> I would agree 100%. Outsiders would be bored completely with 
testing writing in this space.

<kford> That was test writing.

Jeanne: still work to do – at least a week before publishing
... next week starting with writing tests
... we could use the same method as MATF with the wiki grid set up so we 
can see which are done, which are needed to be done and who is working 
on them
