16:45:09 [Stefan]
      Joseph: short sentence needed to alert the reader
16:45:53 [Stefan]
      Matt: everything ok with this approach?
16:45:59 [Stefan]
      +q
16:46:11 [Stefan]
      Rich: keyboard interaction pattern?
16:46:31 [Stefan]
      Matt: no, it's structural
16:47:16 [Stefan]
      -q
16:47:47 [Stefan]
      Rich: What about changing feeds with keyboard?
16:48:26 [clown]
      s/short sentence needed to alert the reader/the first paragraph of
      the role description should have one sentence. If it has a second, it
      is to alert the reader to a related role/
16:48:30 [Stefan]
      Matt: in APG we can make some fairly strong statements
16:48:51 [Stefan]
      Rich: what about mobile devices?
16:51:18 [Stefan]
      Stefan: best practices in APG should cover interactive articles being
      part of articlefeed
16:51:41 [Stefan]
      Stefan: .. with respect to keyboard support
16:52:27 [Stefan]
      Matt: when peple are using screen readers they want to read the
      content, also by structure
16:53:24 [Stefan]
      Rich: what about aria-feedappendcount or aria-feedprependcount
16:53:55 [Stefan]
      Matt: they are not changing constantly .. author marks feed busy
16:54:25 [Stefan]
      Rich: but they are changing, do you expect AT to notice the changes?
16:54:39 [Stefan]
      Matt: yes they should evaluate onChange event on busy ..

      Rich: Joseph ae we firing firing change events on busy by spec?
16:55:18 [Stefan]
      Joseph: thinks so
16:55:30 [clown]
      http://w3c.github.io/aria/core-aam/core-aam.html#event-aria-busy

16:57:02 [Stefan]
      Matt: you could do this also for indefinitely scrolling grid
16:57:26 [Stefan]
      Rich: why we need feed in name?
16:57:42 [Stefan]
      Matt: tried to generalize that by this way
16:58:17 [jongund]
      jongund has joined #aria
16:59:33 [Stefan]
      Matt: this can be even further generalized for tables fetching fdata
16:59:50 [Stefan]
      Stefan: we need proper signaling for data fetching to AT
17:00:58 [joanie]
      q+
17:01:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      ack joanie
17:03:01 [Stefan]
      Joanie: we have this property, no matter if it maps or not
17:04:13 [Stefan]
      Matt: if you have list in acctree with n children, and property how
      many children are added and removed this will be useful tied to a
      state change
17:05:53 [Stefan]
      Rich: feeds are a bottomless pit .. I don't see any value
17:07:37 [Stefan]
      Matt: true when adding bstaff to the end, but not for the beginning
      -> useful or AT to know the offset
17:07:50 [Stefan]
      Rich: I can see the point
17:08:23 [Stefan]
      Matt: don't limit to particular use case
17:08:37 [Stefan]
      Matt: there are other use cases
17:09:30 [Stefan]
      Matt: feeds are not constantly changing normally ...
17:10:19 [Stefan]
      Rich: Important to know how many things have been added
17:10:59 [Stefan]
      Matt: the more AT knows about it, the better, generally
17:18:45 [Stefan]
      Stefan: being busy is exactly when child elements are being added or
      removed .. I wonder why in some screen reader implementations you
      still can navigate these regions although they are currently updated
17:19:40 [Stefan]
      Matt: use of aria-busy is meant to help people to understand that
17:20:33 [Stefan]
      Joseph: indicates that "significant" changes are made - what means
      that?
17:21:06 [Stefan]
      Rich: some of the text for aria-busy is way over the top -- tooo AT
      specific
17:22:21 [clown]
      http://w3c.github.io/aria/aria/aria.html#aria-busy

17:25:52 [clown]
      q+ to ask what "changes to the element" mean?
17:28:37 [Stefan]
      MichaelC: spec should just define not too much AT details
17:29:15 [Stefan]
      Rich: giving examples is fine
17:30:12 [Stefan]
      Matt: we can wipe out the educational piece
17:30:36 [Stefan]
      Rich: challenge is here: is it live?
17:31:33 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      q?
17:31:47 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      ack clown
17:31:47 [Zakim]
      clown, you wanted to ask what "changes to the element" mean?
17:32:27 [Stefan]
      Matt: aria-busy is not a presentational property .. shoukld be misued
17:34:13 [Stefan]
      Matt: aria-busy is just saying to AT: ignore events going on here
17:36:00 [Stefan]
      MichaelC: belongs in implementation guide not in the spec
17:36:53 [Stefan]
      Matt: I will start over
17:37:49 [Stefan]
      Rich: I still don't know why the additional properties for feed exist
17:38:41 [Stefan]
      Rich: if something is busy it means it is interactive, not dead
      (static table is never busy)
17:38:48 [Stefan]
      Matt: application is busy
17:38:57 [Stefan]
      Matt: NOT and NEVER content
17:39:37 [Stefan]
      Matt: application is busy updating content -this is the message
17:40:07 [Stefan]
      Rich: you are saying any element can be live?????
17:40:27 [Stefan]
      Matt: this was as and will be true forever
17:41:42 [Stefan]
      Rich: aria-busy was only applied to widgets and live regions because
      they are interactive and can change
17:41:43 [clown]
      "For example, until a section of a page is fully initialized and
      complete, an author could mark the document element as busy."
17:42:03 [Stefan]
      Rich: a table is static and here saying aria-busy makes no sense in
      this definition
17:44:17 [Stefan]
      Joseph: aria-busy not defined means "false" right now
17:45:26 [Stefan]
      Joanie: if false, I don't remove or add children, I would always
      presume
17:45:43 [Stefan]
      Joanie: is AT using it this way???
17:46:47 [Stefan]
      Joanie: aria-busy=true on a table -> ah contents of this table are
      going to change
17:47:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      q?
17:48:13 [Stefan]
      Stefan: a table is an interactive widget in the sense that on user
      scrolling it can be programmed to fetch data (rows)
17:49:47 [Stefan]
      Rich: Some Resolutions ahead. ....
17:50:19 [Stefan]
      Rich: The feed stuff will get hairy
17:52:48 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Indicates whether an element, and its subtree, are currently being
      updated.
17:52:54 [Stefan]
      Joanie: Matt is talking about latest version and master, there he
      uses the term "populated" .. makes more sense
17:52:56 [clown]

17:52:56 [joanie]
      https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#aria-busy

17:53:03 [joanie]
      Indicates that a live region or widget is being populated.
17:54:40 [Stefan]
      Joanie: don't you think "populated" is the right term?
17:54:52 [Stefan]
      Joanie: do you think "populated" is the right term?
17:55:29 [Stefan]
      Joanie: populated means "being added"
17:57:16 [Stefan]
      Matt: we can reduce number of words here
17:59:27 [Stefan]
      MichaelC: we also potentially want to hide abstract roles from the
      spec (minimalistic view)
17:59:57 [Stefan]
      MichaelC: it is a way to address different users of spec
18:01:46 [Stefan]
      Joanie: do you work on action 1073?
18:02:14 [Stefan]
      Rich: (to Joanie) Joanie: do you work on action 1073?
18:02:42 [Stefan]
      •https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1073

18:05:21 [clown]
      Indicates the current "selected" state of various widgets
18:05:36 [clown]
      Change to "Indicates the current "selected" state of various widgets,
      and whether the element is selectable"
18:05:38 [clown]
      ?
18:06:21 [Stefan]
      Rich: we will close this as obsololete
18:07:15 [clown]
      action-1361?
18:07:15 [trackbot]
      action-1361 -- Matthew King to Suggest new text for the application
      role -- due 2015-06-11 -- OPEN
