<KimPatch> take up next
Q&A
Kim: Any questions about techniques?
Jon: Wasn't on WCAG call, looking at survey results - sentiment was that
current techniques should reflect mobile space rather than add to it
Kim: Kathy reported that the advice was that instead of adding examples
was less valuable than changing examples to reflect mobile
Jon: does not quite agree - in some cases (say keyboard) more examples
are helpful
Kim: will depend on the case -sometimes including, in other cases adding
- will become cleare as we go forward
Mike: Agrees that WCAG direction seems a bit odd (?) - examples should
not be artificial but we have to inclue new things like gestural input
Jon: It sounded some people were concerned that we were promoting
techniques when giving mobile examples - but people will also benefit
from mobile examples
Detlev: mentioning the quesation whether we will need other categories
with WCAG (e.g for touch) and how that might affet the placement of new
techniques
Jeanne: has been discussed but no solution yet - At the moment new
techniques will be placed under aprinciple or guideline
Jeanne introducing Kenny (China), works for WAI - we are trying to get
more participation from China and the far east generally
Kenny: I'm based in Bejing, working on WCAG authorized translation
<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to introduce Kenny when this discussion is
complete and to

Survey from last week #5:
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/66524/20140901_survey/results#xq5
New Survey: please fill out before the call on Thursday:
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/66524/20140908_survey/
Duscussing G60: Playing a sound that turns off automatically within
three seconds
Kim: disruption outside (e..g. on a journey) could be more dangerous
Jan: Could be more relevant in the mobile space
MikeS: agrees with Jan, a mobile example might help
Jon: agrees it makes sense to bring this to peoples attention - butwe'll
get a negative response from WG, needs another discussion
Jeanne: Was there a comment about that on the WG call?
Jon: nit sure what the resolution of WG was
Jeanne: in the absence of a formal resolution we should continue, not
change on the vasis of individual comments
Jon: reads resolution (left open)
<jon_avila> http://www.w3.org/2014/09/09-wai-wcag-minutes.html
Kim: agrees with Jeanne not to change direction for now
... Let's take this up when kathy is back next week
MikeS: primary intend is not to interfere with screenreader output, plus
other cases
Jan: likes MikeS rewording
1+
<KimPatch> Recommend simplifying the phrasing to:
<KimPatch> Mobile device users may be in a location, such as a meeting
or on public transportation, where sound from the device would be
distracting or disruptive to the environment or surrounding people.
Next: G83: Providing text descriptions to identify required fields that
were not completed
Kim: focus is on additions to reflect HTML5, it's not mobile specific
... Jeanne, any commets?
Jeanne: suggests passing on to WCAG WG (Andrew) they can decide hhow to
handle this
*RESOLUTION: pass on updates that are not mobile-related to WCAG WG
(Andrew) so they can decide how to handle this*
<jon_avila>
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/G60#Suggested_Changes
Jon: should we use del element to indicate things that were deleted (for
reference)?
Jon; del needs to be flagged as non-wiki
So markup is like <del><nowiki>...</nowiki></del>
G84: Providing a text description when the user provides information
that is not in the list of allowed values
Kim: same as above - not mobile specific, pass on
Kim; should be pass on this to the WG as well?
<Jan> +1
Kim: Any objections?
pass on
*RESOLUTION: G83 and G84 passed on to WCAG WG*
<KimPatch>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-mobile-a11y-tf/2014Sep/0004.html
Kim: Email from Jan
<Jan> Existing tech http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G202.html
Jan: wasn't sure what was needed - looked at exisiting technique that
doesn't mention mobile
... many people are not aware that mobile users use keyboards too
... New definition of interface to include mobile keyboards internal and
external (reads from proposal)
MikeS: Likes changes, they add value, third example with menu button -
some items like menu lists are difficult to access with a keyboard /
switch / button
<jon_avila> +1
Kim: that language might be used elsewhere
Jan: currentreference to keyboard interface may be construed as refering
to normal keyboard only
Kim: should we add a second example?
Jan: menu button - could be changed to menu overlay (MikeS doing edits
in the Wiki for G202
<Jan> The mobile version of a web site includes a menu button that is
tapped to open the site's menu, which is implemented as a floating
overlay. To provide access to people using external keyboards or ability
switches with their mobile device, the menu button and the overlaid site
menu are both implemented such that they can be operated via the mobile
device's keyboard interface.
<jon_avila> From the UAAG 2 working draft:keyboardThe letter, symbol and
command keys or key indicators that allow a user to control a computing
device. Assistive technologies have traditionally relied on the keyboard
interface as a universal, or modality independent interface. In this
document references to keyboard include keyboard emulators and keyboard
interfaces that make use of the keyboard's role as a modality
independent interface (see Modality Indep[CUT]
Jeanne: suggests adding G202 to next week's survey
Detlev: add G145
Kim: Please pick up another technique
Jon: thinks that Jan proposed a good change to keyboard (G202)
... Not sure whether it holds true to al mobile fieds, e.g. sone things
may not work on iOS
Jan: There are also platforms without keyboard API - iOS haveused their
more general API to work for keyboard
Kim: needs more disussion
... closes meeting
Bye!
