[WCAG2ICT] Text / Command-line / Terminal Applications and Interfaces work

Hi all,

I’ve collated the responses from Matthew and Jason into one spreadsheet (attached) and then highlighted in Bold text with a yellow highlight the cells where the yes/no responses were different – to make them easy for me to find. The individual responses are there so one could instead read through and still identify where there’s differences.

Janina also made a pull request with her suggested changes, so here’s a link to the proposed changes<https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/pull/154/files> and links to the rendered content: How text interfaces are realized<https://deploy-preview-154--wcag2ict.netlify.app/#how-text-interfaces-are-realized> and Text / Command-lin / Terminal Applications and Interfaces<https://deploy-preview-154--wcag2ict.netlify.app/#text-command-line-terminal-applications-and-interfaces>.

Looking forward to our discussion in the morning.

Best Regards,

Mary Jo

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WCAG2ICT] Spreadsheet to provide your analysis
Thank you, Matthew. I trust we can reconcile the differences between our
analyses in due course.

Regards,

Jason.

One gap I think we have (that holds some promise for accessibility) is that I don't think we talked about what you can do with terminal escape codes, and whilst filling this in, I had a recollection of some really fancy things that could be achieved, even now. I then wondered if (in future, out of scope right now, but I'd like to get your thoughts) we could use the same sorts of mechanisms (extended escape codes) to have apps provide more info, like 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 structure/name/role/state/value/purpose sort-of info, to the terminal emulators?
