RE: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish "ARIA Authoring Practices Guide" FPWD

Agreed, the vast majority of the document is still in need of review, including the building out of relevant coding materials, as well as the discussing of alternative widget designs that use or do not use aria-activedescendant. None of these things are even close to being complete.

As far as I heard from the call on Monday, this was simply to formalize the document as a work in progress and to retire the old document, but my worry is that people will assume this is complete when it is currently nowhere close to this.

If it can be made clear that this is very much a current work in progress, and that we also need some sort of method for documenting which design patterns are complete and signed off on by those here, I think this would help a lot.

Michael,

Regarding the modal dialog box. aria-modal="true" should be included in the Roles, States, and Properties for the modal dialog:
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/wd20150504/practices/aria-practices.html#dialog_modal

It is not needed for the non-modal dialog box as the default is "false".

Why haven't we moved the OAA examples to W3C?

Under 2.11 Dialog modal it points to 2.10 the Modal dialog box for roles, states and properties. This is not accurate as if the above were fixed for the modal dialog box an aria-modal="true" would be invalid.

Under 2.16 the document references the Open Ajax Alliance site for a real world example but it links to the compliance test rules? This does not make sense

Where we link to aria features like aria-controls it references the ARIA 1.1 in github. Is this going to be corrected when it gets published to point to the TR version? Also, since we have not sent an updated ARIA 1.1 out to in a while will we have a problem referencing any new work? IOW, do we need to do a heartbeat of ARIA 1.1 too?

Subject: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish "ARIA Authoring Practices  Guide" FPWD

________________________________



Colleagues:

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Protocols and Formats Working
Group (PFWG) to approve a First Public Working Draft (FPWD) publication
of the "WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide, Version 1.1" as requested by the
ARIA-APG Subteam at:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015May/0027.html

Proposed Actions

Approval of this CfC will result in the following two actions:

* We will mark the previous 1.0 heartbeat as "Obsolete" pointing
* people instead to the current 1.1 revisions. There are no plans
* to finish a 1.0 version of this Guide, focused on WAI-ARIA-1.0.

* We will move to publish the document at the following URI as our
* First Public Working Draft (FPWD) of "WAI-ARIA Authoring
* Practices Guide, Version 1.1:"

https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/wd20150504/practices/aria-practices.html

ACTION TO TAKE

According to agreed PFWG Consensus Procedures, this CfC is now open for
objection, comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence
will be interpreted as support, though messages of support are certainly
welcome.

Please review the candidate FPWD document at:

https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/wd20150504/practices/aria-practices.html

If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this
proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later
than 23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time, Thursday 7 May.

Janina
