[10:23] <MoeKraft> scribenick: Moe


[10:24] <Wilco> 1) Action Items: 
https://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/wiki/Action_items


[10:24] <MoeKraft> Wilco: How is 1.2 going?


[10:25] <MoeKraft> Frank: Very rough draft available


[10:25] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Can we get something at end of workshop next 
month?


[10:25] <MoeKraft> Frank: I think so. 


[10:25] == Avneesh_ [~Avneesh@public.cloak] has quit ["Page closed"]


[10:25] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Let's shoot for that


[10:26] == Avneesh [~Avneesh@public.cloak] has quit [Ping timeout: 180 
seconds]


[10:26] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Got off phone with Jon Gunderson. Has very 
different approach to testing than we have done so far. I will cover it in 
our next call. 


[10:26] == Avneesh [~Avneesh@public.cloak] has joined #auto-WCAG


[10:27] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Will migrate to GitHub. It will be a lot easier 
to collaborate in GitHub repo


[10:27] <MoeKraft> Wilco: About 2 months ago started moving to GitHub. 
Will look at today but not yet done. WIP


[10:27] <MoeKraft> Wilco: We need more tests


[10:27] <Wilco> 2) Review SC1-4-1-a: 
https://github.com/auto-wcag/auto-wcag/issues/3


[10:28] <Wilco> https://github.com/auto-wcag/auto-wcag/pull/6


[10:28] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Made some fixes to the format. Can see if you 
follow link to pull request


[10:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: FRank please speak to the comments


[10:29] <MoeKraft> Frank: Any use of border will make links distinguisable 
but issue if border color is same as background color


[10:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Valid point


[10:30] <MoeKraft> Frank: Selector: It's nearest anchor has different 
color as color of link. 


[10:30] <MoeKraft> Frank: Isn't that part of test


[10:30] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Reason we have that in there. If colors are 
identical then it's not a color problem. 


[10:31] <MoeKraft> Wilco: There would not be an issue based on color if 
the color is the same


[10:31] <MoeKraft> Frank: Exclude color because it would not be relevant?


[10:32] <MoeKraft> Wilco: My reasoning here is that the guideline / 
success criteria is about not discriminating based on color. If the color 
is used must provide something to distinguish from color but if same 
doesn't apply


[10:32] <MoeKraft> q+


[10:32] * Zakim sees MoeKraft on the speaker queue


[10:35] <cpandhi> q+


[10:35] * Zakim sees MoeKraft, cpandhi on the speaker queue


[10:35] <MoeKraft> Moe: There is a requirement for link color to have a 
3:1 contrast ratio to surrounding text. 


[10:35] <cpandhi> https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G183.html


[10:36] <MoeKraft> Emma: Can we clarify? So it cannot be color alone but 
something other than color that makes it appear different?


[10:36] <MoeKraft> G183: Using a contrast ratio of 3:1 with surrounding 
text and providing additional visual cues on focus for links or controls 
where color alone is used to identify them


[10:37] <MoeKraft> Wilco: If focused or hovered by mouse we need to style 
to distinguish link text. 


[10:38] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Emma, so if color is used, WCAG only requires 
3:1 ratio until focus or hover?


[10:38] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Yes


[10:38] <MoeKraft> Emma: BBC rules do not allow this


[10:39] <MoeKraft> Wilco: IF the color is the same, then the link text 
must have distinguishing feature to identify it as a link


[10:39] <emmaPR-BBC> BBC rules require more than only a colour different 
to distinguish links


[10:40] <MoeKraft> Frank: Failure 73 states that we cannot use color alone


[10:40] <MoeKraft> Frank: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20160317/F73


[10:41] <MoeKraft> MaryJo: The sufficient technique G183 and Failure 73 
disagree with each other


[10:41] <MoeKraft> MaryJo: We should take this back to WCAG WG


[10:41] <MoeKraft> MaryJo: G183 indicates that you can use color until 
focus/hover


[10:42] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Yes, this definitely conflicts


[10:42] <MoeKraft> Moe: I will take this issue to the WCAG WG


[10:43] <Wilco> 
https://github.com/auto-wcag/auto-wcag/blob/sc1-4-1-a-patch1/drafts/SC1-4-1-a.md


[10:43] <MoeKraft> MaryJo: This is why we see different interpretations


[10:44] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Have people had opportunities to review these? 


[10:44] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Do we want to walk through this?


[10:44] <MoeKraft> Moe: Might help to walk through it


[10:44] <emmaPR-BBC> :)


[10:44] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Going through top to bottom


[10:45] <MoeKraft> Wilco: We've been calling these testcases up until this 
point. The term "rules" has snuck in the last two months. We need to start 
calling rules


[10:45] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Firstly, Description, What this rule does


[10:45] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Links to relevant documentation


[10:46] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Thirdly, assumptions


[10:46] <MoeKraft> Wilco: important to auto-wcag work. When testing for 
accessibility. If you want to do accessibility for rules, you are making 
assumptions because we don't have an expert present to figure out 
exceptions. There are always exceptions to rules. 


[10:47] <MoeKraft> Wilco: You can always provide an alternative version of 
certain page. 


[10:47] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Assumptions are explicit about in what scenarios 
things might break down. 


[10:48] <MoeKraft> Wilco: G183 technique, minimum contrast requirement is 
not spelled out in 1.4.1 success criterion


[10:48] <MoeKraft> Wilco: WCAG SC does not state if you have 3:1 minimum 
contrast between link text and surrounding text is okay. This is an 
assumption based on G183


[10:49] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Expanded properties, e.g. border, can help make 
links distinguishable. 


[10:49] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Can use underlines, or you can make bold, you 
can put border around link. These assumptions are the things we expect to 
look for. 


[10:50] <emmaPR-BBC> yep


[10:52] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Third assumption, any use of border can make 
link distinguishable but as Frank points out, if same color as background 
that would not be the case. Need to adjust assumption. 


[10:52] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Assumption that different font is presented to 
user. Does this make the link distiguishable? Font might look exactly the 
same. 


[10:52] <cpandhi> do not see underline in the assumptions


[10:53] <MoeKraft> Wilco: aria-bold is distinguishable because it's bold. 


[10:53] <MoeKraft> Arial-bold


[10:53] <emmaPR-BBC> yes


[10:54] <MoeKraft> Emma: Should we check if we are testing computed style?


[10:55] <MoeKraft> Wilco: If you cannot get computed style, would not be 
able to test this rule


[10:55] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Test properties, meta data for each test or rule 
properties


[10:58] <MoeKraft> Wilco: There's a test name, criterion, mode (automatic, 
semiautomatic), test environment (what capabilities needed, e.g. remote 
control user agent = web driver), test subject (web page, DOM fragment, 
collection of pages)


[10:58] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Test subject example: to test navigation order, 
need to test multiple pages


[10:58] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Terminology comes from earl standard 


[10:59] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Evaluation and Report Language (EARL)


[10:59] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Test procedure: two parts, selector and series 
of tests


[10:59] <MoeKraft> Wilco: In selector, you find the element under test, 
e.g. links


[11:00] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Test Steps


[11:01] <MoeKraft> Wilco: For each step we determine if automated or 
require manual input


[11:01] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Go through procedures to get to an if statement, 
pass, fail or next step


[11:01] == Avneesh [~Avneesh@public.cloak] has quit ["Page closed"]


[11:04] <MoeKraft> s/Arial-bold/'Arial Bold'


[11:04] <MoeKraft> Emma: Thank you Wilco! This is very thorough


[11:05] <MoeKraft> Wilco: A lot of rules leave it up to developer to 
figure out how to write the rule. These procedures help give details for 
people that are familiar with industry


[11:05] <MoeKraft> Emma: WCAG stuff is the rules, and we were using test 
cases, maybe we should continue to use the term test cases


[11:06] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Interesting. Judy also asked if 'rules' is the 
right term to use. We seem to be converging on 'rule'


[11:06] <MoeKraft> Emma: Need to find the middle ground between rules and 
tess


[11:06] <MoeKraft> test

[11:07] <MoeKraft> The meeting will be from 16:00 CEST to 17:00 
CEST.  Meeting Number: 646 171 586  Meeting Password: Please obtain your 
meeting password from your host.   To join the online meeting (Now from 
mobile devices!) 


[11:08] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Are we good to go to 5:30? Let's see if we can 
cover other issues?


[11:08] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Frank, you wanted to talk about our workflow


[11:08] <emmaPR-BBC> Moe, think that is the other auto-wcag meetings


[11:08] <MoeKraft> Frank: We should talk a little bit about how our first 
review on GitHub went


[11:09] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Now that we have issues, we can sort. How do we 
close or resolve issues?


[11:09] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Do we create a ticket for every review?


[11:10] <MoeKraft> Wilco: WE should probably close the ticket once we've 
done our review and create new ones


[11:10] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Is that doable? This adds a little overhead. 


[11:11] <MoeKraft> Wilco: We could leave it open and leave it up to the 
rule author to manage


[11:12] <Frank> Soory, My micro got issues


[11:12] <MoeKraft> Emma: I'm new to conversation but not yet familiar with 
who has been working on stuff and the process. 


[11:13] <MoeKraft> Emma: Great to see feature/rule files. Don't know the 
process for getting involved. Can you cover the process?


[11:13] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Used to be we would put rule on wiki and put 
which rules to review on agenda and put their comments in discussion page 
and we would cover in meeting. 


[11:13] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Now that we are on GitHub still exploring best 
way to move forward. 


[11:14] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Still exploring. 


[11:14] <MoeKraft> Emma: will they come out via email?


[11:14] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Best way to contribute to review items on agenda 
before hand and put comments online. 


[11:14] <MoeKraft> Emma: Ok


[11:15] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Put comments right into GitHub


[11:15] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Need to clarify in email as well


[11:15] <MoeKraft> Frank: Ok, I have fixed my mic


[11:16] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Frank any comments?


[11:16] <MoeKraft> Frank: I suggest a pull request for all rules. And 
finalized rules may go to rules folder. Thinking about it. 


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Will leave this workflow item to you. I'll let 
you explore and see what works best


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Frank: Yes. Good with me. 


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Wilco: 15 minutes left. 


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Discussion on format. What did we want to 
discuss?


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Frank: Markdown is fine


[11:17] <MoeKraft> Wilco: What was the question


[11:18] <MoeKraft> Frank: We have the template and we face some issues. So 
I thought we should talk about those issues


[11:18] <Wilco> https://github.com/auto-wcag/auto-wcag/pull/2/files


[11:18] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Structure updates


[11:19] <cpandhi> issues with my head set, will change for next time


[11:19] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Let's look at structural update pull request I 
created. 


[11:19] <MoeKraft> Wilco: I've done update to styling. See Github.io

https://github.com/WilcoFiers/auto-wcag/blob/6250942b2ab2f7f9d4a6bfc4461a19ab29011945/rule-template.md


[11:23] <MoeKraft> Wilco: I've made two templates based on the templates 
on wiki based on markdown


[11:24] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Based some of the rules on this new format


[11:24] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Really just formatting


[11:24] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Any objections?


[11:24] <MoeKraft> Emma: None from me. 


[11:24] <MoeKraft> Frank: No objections


[11:24] <MoeKraft> No objections from me


[11:25] <MoeKraft> Emma: Make sure your styling is adhering to Markdown 
rules


[11:25] <MoeKraft> Emma: A subtle line between sections would be nice


[11:26] <MoeKraft> Emma: Also underline links


[11:26] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Ok, I have merged pull request


[11:26] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Next meeting will be during workshop


[11:28] <MoeKraft> Wilco: We are having a 2 day workshop to continue 
working on these rules. 


[11:28] <MoeKraft> Wilco: 2 days in afternoons they will be online


[11:28] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Annika sent out a reminder last week


[11:28] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Also, info on auto-wcag website


[11:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: challenge folks to review rules and create 
GitHub issues


[11:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Frank are you good on the video work?


[11:29] <MoeKraft> Frank: yes


[11:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: I am working on a couple of new rules we will 
look at during the workshop


[11:29] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Anyone ready to start working on a new rule by 
yourself?


[11:30] <MoeKraft> Emma: don't mind getting started but don't know WCAG 
well enough but might help me learn WCAG and better understand the 
differences


[11:30] <cpandhi> I can take a stab


[11:31] <MoeKraft> Wilco: cool


[11:31] <cpandhi> sounds good


[11:31] <MoeKraft> Wilco: Will set up call with Emma and Charu


[11:31] <MoeKraft> Wilco: I like this stuff


[11:31] <MoeKraft> Emma: Feels more proactive


[11:32] <MoeKraft> MaryJo: Final thoughts, would like to get into helping 
with rules, Initially will help review


[11:32] <MoeKraft> Moe: ditto


[11:33] <cpandhi> def find time to review and try to contribute


[11:33] <cpandhi> with new new rules


[11:33] <cpandhi> great start


[11:34] <MoeKraft> Frank: Thanks to everyone been very fun. There's no 
requirement to distinguish links to those who cannot perceive by color if 
they are not perceivable by those who can distinguish color, F73

Subject:        Agenda for 9 July 2016 Auto-WCAG rule development call



Hi everyone,
as you may have heard, we set up an additional call focusing on rule 
design.
And you may also have heard, that the rules went to GitHub. The repo is at 
https://github.com/auto-wcag/auto-wcag.
To contribute to the rules, you have to use pull-requests on that repo. 
The documentation for doing that can be found here: 
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/

The call will be monthly and we will start on Thursday, the 9th of July at 
14:00 UTC - http://timeanddate.com/s/307b

Please note: We have switched back to Skype. To join the meeting, notify 
us on our IRC channel and I will add you to the Skype call. The IRC
