Meeting minutes

   <CharlesHall> have to drop at 2:30p ET

   <ChrisLoiselle> I defer to the queen.

  Errors subgroup User Needs work

   sh: Multiple docs associated with group work ...

   <sarahhorton> Errors User Needs Summary: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mTrr0hSsQrApmC4N0tF4fQOF-PiLsK-FNZproi7WQcA/edit#

   sh: Mainly want to share the doc and request feedback ...

   sh: Group working since October on content creation process

   sh: First task was to define user needs when working through error situations

   sh: Notes links in summary doc above

   sh: Existing Silver docs have helped us work through how things should ideally work in error situations

   sh: This is all draft material--not a subgroup consens yet! Please beware!

   sh: We do want feedback and additional perspectives though

   sh: Pauses for questions

   js: Asks for overview of work so far

   sh: Is screenshare OK

   js: As long as you describe

   sh: Intro describes at how we arrived at our items

   sh: also background info on group work

   sh: also overview of existing guidance then asks content groups to provide more pwd group specific needs

   sh: notes next step is where we are now, share and request response

   sh: We have 4 specific questions

   sh: will come back to that

   sh: Identified user needs fall into different categories; and that has suggested guidelines

   sh: starting with notification

   sh: Outcome would be provided notifications that users would know about

   sh: barriers might be no message, or inaccessible message, or somehow else not comprehensible

   sh: another common situation is getting at details

   sh: or a notification that there's change in autocorrection in values--users should have opportunity to verify

   sh: reviews a flow chart ...

   <Jemma> "unique" user needs now made sense to me with all the examples. Thanks, Sarah.

   js: Impressed with the quality of this work. Will be good example for task force training!

   janina: I think this is excellent work. I want to ask about scoping about what one does when things that go wrong and you have to re-iniitalize -- like adjust the temperature for the IoT thermostat. Is that
   information available in an accessible form. I had to find a hard to find USB port on the thermostat. If therew was a loose wire, it could be dangerouis.
   ... I also want to get at least one lamp that I can reliably turn off.
   ... the configuration is not accessible to screen readers
   ... all the prompts are inaccessible
   ... there should be disclosure whether or not the device is inaccessible.

   <Jemma> yeah. sajkaj's examples are really good ones.

   <sajkaj> sj: Explains some WoT stack and process related challenges

   <CharlesHall> error notification could be configurable

   <sajkaj> sh: Likes the scenarios and agrees need to explore

   SH: One of the buckets of ideas are Error Contingencies. These are good scenarios and the configuration scenario as well

   <Jemma> First sajkaj's point is related to error identification.

   <sajkaj> sh: provides good segue for needs we do have ...

   <Jemma> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fix0uwC0vODgiKl09lMF77FMdd52u64KG9_-N86r4UE/edit#

   Error FLows Inventory

   <Jemma> abov is error flows inventory

   <sajkaj> sh: will walk through one ack je

   <Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to ask where Sarah has captured potential outcomes?

   <CharlesHall> sorry. have to drop.

   <sajkaj> js: Going back to probable guidelines and wondering where you saw potential outcomes

   <Jemma> "probable guideline"?

   <sajkaj> js: Was that notifications?

   <sajkaj> sh: Yes and can show how they came to be

   <sajkaj> sh: like the process we discovered

   <sajkaj> sh: worked through error flows ...

   <sajkaj> sh: first flow was file not found -- click link

   <sajkaj> sh: the 404

   <sajkaj> sh: error would be no notification--

   <sajkaj> sh: user doesn't know why the unrelated response, so tries another way to do the same thing

   <sajkaj> js: User needs to know resourdce not available, but is it likely existing via other route?

   <sajkaj> sh: we reference all functional needs and walk through our scenario

   <sajkaj> sh: eg physical harm or risk

   <sajkaj> sh: Doc is output of many individuals and may not yet be fully coherent stylistically

   <sajkaj> sh: where we had content in various flows we went to a spread sheet

   Errors User Needs Worksheet

   <sajkaj> sh: looks at sheet -- each need one row

   <Jemma> Sarah's approach is very systematic.

   <sajkaj> sh: rows are the functional needs

   <sajkaj> sh: not various tabs ...

   <sajkaj> sh: looks at some of the specifics identified by the process -- that's how we got to our outcomes

   <sajkaj> js: Great!

   <sajkaj> sh: Note we also worked on a scope doc for our subgroup

   <sajkaj> sh: Notes related guidelines column -- either from 2.x or our emerging 3.0

   <jennifer> This spreadsheet is fantastic!

   <sajkaj> sh: very handy that this is sortable!

   <Lauriat> +1, awesome work, this really helps to follow it all!

   <sajkaj> js: Wow!

   <sajkaj> js: Very powerful and like it a lot

   <sajkaj> jema: Got me to look at unique user need definition ... may be helpful to have uniue functional need definition

   <sajkaj> jema: maybe something more specific than "unique"

   <sajkaj> sh: That's the kind of feedback we need!

   <sajkaj> js:Notes good question -- Should contrast be different for error notifications?

   <sajkaj> sh: There are several like that and we need to identify those. It's among our next steps

   <sajkaj> andy: Contrast is definitely context sensitive. Understand one some things will need to stand out

   <sajkaj> andy: People frequently use red to help--but that's not fully a11y

   <sajkaj> andy: ample luminence also important -- but what do you do when everything is actually already high contrast

   <sajkaj> andy: should all else become dimmer? We sometimes see that technique

   <sajkaj> sl: want to build on this topic a bit ...

   <sajkaj> sl: scope for errors interesting, but also andy's points

   <sajkaj> sl: using errors as defining increased severity of not following guidance

   <sajkaj> sl: this may be about rating workflow and how well workflow follows guidelines

   <sajkaj> sl: a button "click here to fix the problem" button not in tab order would be a big problem

   <sajkaj> sl: we need to keep this on our agenda for building up these kinds of workflows

   <sajkaj> sl: and a walkthrough for how to interpret

   <Jemma> great suggestion, Shawn.

   <Jemma> This is great discussion!

   <sajkaj> js: Notes we have time to incorporate these things as they develop

   <Lauriat> I feel like I just complicated things a little, but this work just has so many angles to it. Thank you for walking through it all, Sarah!

   <sajkaj> sh: We'll take feedback in any form. February for us is building up guidelines

   <sajkaj> sh: Also notes thanks to subgroup who've worked on this so hard

   <sajkaj> js: Notes a tweet following FPWD which noted 3.0 is very ambitious

   <sajkaj> js: I see that here! A great description

  results of the scheduling survey

   <sajkaj> js: Trying to followup on loose ends post FPWD ...

   https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/94845/schedule-Jan2021/results

   <sajkaj> js: Changing meeting time js: No one solution fits -- rather as expected

   <sajkaj> js: have variety of answers which the bot gives us multiple views of; esp ranking details

   <sajkaj> js: no answer yet

   <sajkaj> js: Now also reminded to review scope statements from subgroups

   <sajkaj> js: Asks for responses to WBS

   <sajkaj> js: OK. Current plan is discussion in leadership next week and back on agenda soon

   <sajkaj> js: Notes need to plan vis a vis steps beyond 2.2

  Errors subgroup User Needs work

   <sajkaj> js: Process draft will be forthcoming ...

   Process: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Procedure_for_Processing_Comments

   Github issues ->

   <Jemma> https://github.com/w3c/silver/issues/

   <sajkaj> js: suggest to look at "simplify wcag doc" you'll se tagging we applied. NOT YET APPROVED -- working on it!

   <sajkaj> js: Actions; Sections; Guidelines

   <sajkaj> js: should help us map to subgroups, then what to do with it ...

   <sajkaj> js: Editorial: fix/don't-fix

   <sajkaj> js: changed color coding

   <sajkaj> js: Should develop into a consistent Tuesday agendum

  FPWD Comment triage system

  Proposal for Enhanced Acknowledgements

   <sajkaj> js: Notes this is just a proposal and an early response. Responses welcome!

   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Joc5F6YfYPDOK5ryBUsPVP-xUtrrhoQ2Uf7iKGpbLnM/

   <sajkaj> js: Proposal is for subsections under Acknowledgements for "How people contributed"

   <sajkaj> js: Pushed for useful categories that would help show how work was accomplished

   <sajkaj> js: Ex: Authors; Subgroup leaders and participantsjs: Ajother category is research -- Andy, Josh, etc

   <sajkaj> js: We should work out our definitions, of course

   <ChrisLoiselle> I was just looking for a w3c t-shirt :)
