RE: Two important drafts to review.

Hi Lisa and All,



There's a lot to like about the drafts. I think the explanations and the examples are good. Grammar issues will have to be resolved in the final version.



I think we should be sure what we are proposing cannot be accomplished within ARIA's current capabilities. I believe this is in line w/ Rich's previous comments.



I wonder if our proposal will be obviated by GPII, as Steve may be suggesting.



I don't agree with the following. I don't think any recommendation will be widely / sufficiently adopted if it requires people with disabilities to purchase something.



"That means the end use (sic) could buy the symbols and use them across different devices or applications."

Hi Folks



I pulled together the conclusions for this weeks call, and the other emails going back and forth, to make a new version of the adaptable links and buttons issue paper. I think it is now ready to be a proposal for WAI-ARIA extension for COGA.

Please take a look and tell me what else it needs to be submitted as a first draft for ARIA to look at.

see : https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/issue-papers/links-buttons.html




When we have it all together it is easier to  see if there are  issues. So please review it carefully.



I also pulled out of the draft of the gap analysis the content that is relevant for a WCAG extension. See https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/cognitive-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposal_for_WCAG


I think we should review it and then ask WCAG if this is in the right direction.



Taking these two pieces out of the gap analysis may allow us more time to work on the other issue papers without delaying the dependent deadlines for WCAG or ARIA.





All the best
