Kim - Techniques resource review guide is a step by step example on how 
to make changes

Kim- need to fill in all the columns on the technique assignments. See 
G10 for example

<KimPatch> Kathy: the general gist of what we are going to do in terms 
of procedure is we are having people sign up for the different 
techniques -- many of you on the phone have already done that. Over the 
weekend of the filling out the new techniques we are going to do as well 
so you'll be able to sign-up for those starting on Monday. Based on 
those assignments would like people to be working in...

<KimPatch> ...submitting these to the group so that we can get them on a 
survey. So what we'll do is once an item is finished will be collecting 
all of the items into of weekly survey and will have everybody do 
comments on them -- except as proposed, except as proposed with changes, 
or do not accept and you can then enter in comments for all of those

<KimPatch> Kathy: the reason for the surveys is we have some 
asynchronous users.

<KimPatch> Kathy: the deadline to get the items to the WCAG working 
group is November 18. We will submit as we get these done. In order to 
give the group enough time to review all the items are deadline is 
November 18. The items that get submitted to the working group by 
November 18 will be in the March 2015 release of the WCAG techniques. We 
need to get as much done as we can by this date. We will...

<KimPatch> ...do some new techniques as well. I'll prioritize to suggest 
which new ones we can get into the March release so we can get this 
information out to people. If we don't get out before November 18 the 
next releases six months after March, so them were looking at the summer.

<KimPatch> Kathy: we would love to get as many as done as possible 
especially since some of them are small.

kim- on the process, click on the link to the left. That page, is the 
comments, make sure you start at the bottom and put in the suggested chnage

<jon_avila> +1

<KimPatch> take up next


      Techniques resources review:

Kathy: Jon completed G4

Jon - suggested a third example

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/G4

<KimPatch> Jon: we could of just included tapping, but I tried to 
provide a more device independent example


      Techniques review: G9, G53

<KimPatch> Jon: originally reviewed by Jeanne, I added a second example

<KimPatch> Kathy: alternative for via

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/G53

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/G53.html 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/G53.html>

<KimPatch> Kathy: Alan had some suggested changes. This has a lot of 
user agent and assistive technology support notes and it's got several 
different examples -- where you can have the link text of the sentence 
together. Originally we looked at this and said we need to have user 
agent support notes, mobile is to be added. Alan had additional edits -- 
additional example. He didn't address the support note.

<KimPatch> Kathy: the question out to everybody is there are different 
key commands for iOS and android that I know of for reading paragraphs 
and text -- if we're looking at user agent support notes what devices do 
you think we should cover

<KimPatch> is iOS and android sufficient at this time?

<KimPatch> Kim: those of the obvious ones, there are many, and there are 
many that do things that the obvious ones don't do -- don't know how to 
address that

<KimPatch> Kathy: when we are adding in user agent notes how inclusive 
do we have to be -- right now it's pretty old, fairly out of date as it is

<KimPatch> Tom: should we have Microsoft in that?

<KimPatch> Kathy: is anyone on the call doing anything with Microsoft 
mobile?

<KimPatch> Jon: I have some devices -- are we going to include surface, 
tablet as well?

<KimPatch> Kathy: surface you can just put jaws on it,

<KimPatch> Jon: that's Pro, not RT

<KimPatch> Kathy: I've done a little bit with Windows, but if we have 
people who are during more on Microsoft that would be great

<KimPatch> Jon: I have devices, I've used them, it would certainly take 
time. But I was looking through a lot of these techniques a lot of these 
questions came up where I think it would be good to actually collaborate 
and discuss some of these, and then we could delegate certain tasks. For 
this particular one I can research Windows phone and window surface support

<KimPatch> Tom: should we reach out to Microsoft

<KimPatch> Jeanne: I think that's a good idea -- for Microsoft all they 
have to do is contact their rep and they can be put into the group. If 
there's someone from Microsoft we want to invite let me know

<KimPatch> Tom: we have enough contacts, we might be able to provide an 
introduction, let me look into it and find the best person to work with

<KimPatch> Jon: just looking at the Windows phone, swipe very similar to 
iOS and android. We can have a general mobile touchscreen gesture to say 
if you are using a screen reader with a mobile device to swipe previous 
or next you can... That is perhaps what Alan was getting at. And then we 
can put in an example for narrator on the surface.

<KimPatch> Kim: the other device is the fire phone

<KimPatch> Kathy: iit's actually very interesting, and I can play around 
with that, has its own screen reader

<KimPatch> Kathy: only so much we can do -- scope

<KimPatch> Jon: is the reader different

<KimPatch> Kathy: I can look and if it's different we can make you know, 
otherwise it's the same

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/SCR37

<KimPatch> Kathy: with this one we will do more research -- Jon you can 
add Microsoft notes, I will add notes on the fire phone and we can look 
at that next week

<KimPatch> Kathy: SCR37

"The tab and the enter keys may not work on tablets and smartphones 
operated via bluetooth keyboards. On some devices and operating systems, 
arrow keys can be used to move the keyboard focus instead. Focused 
elements may need to be activated via other key combinations such as 
control-alt-space (iOS)."

<KimPatch> Jon: on android there can be tab support and also support 
with arrow keys. can get confusing, certainly focus, whatever commands 
available, device independent way of exiting the dialogue. There are 
things that could be done consistently across all platforms

<KimPatch> Kathy: I think this was to be added as a note, not as an example

<KimPatch> Jon: do the notes appear in the description area?

<KimPatch> Kathy: I don't know where this fits in -- we should wait 
until Detlev is on the phone

<KimPatch> Jon: I'm looking at tab order, we should probably change that 
to focus order to be more general

<KimPatch> Kathy: number two also says check that the dialogue can be 
open and tab to the area and hit enter -- I think that is what he was 
getting at you might not be able to do this

<KimPatch> Kathy: encouraging people to sign up for more techniques, 
also shoot us an email if you have one that's ready that would help out.

<KimPatch> Kathy: if you have anything else that should be discussed on 
these, it's fine to put that into the summary and we will put that was 
into the surveys and discuss as well. Do what you can, and add notes if 
we need to find more information or anything like that -- don't want 
that the holdup discussions

<KimPatch> Jon: was looking at some of these and would like to discuss 
-- can we do part of the meeting getting some feedback

<KimPatch> Kathy: good idea -- we can make part of the meeting, maybe 
first 15 minutes to do discussion and if there is nothing, then we can 
move on to the rest of the agenda items

<KimPatch> Kathy: a few minutes left -- can look at techniques and sign 
up for a few more. I'll have the list of new techniques by Monday and we 
can sign up for those as well

<KimPatch> rsagent, make minutes
