RE: [WCAG2ICT] Text / Command-line / Terminal Applications and Interfaces meeting minutes and work items

Please make a change in the spreadsheet notes for 1.4.11.

The spreadsheet currently lists 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) "yes" for CLI output, and 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast "no" for CLI output. However, if 1.4.3 is "yes" then 1.4.11 should be "yes" as well.

Full-screen terminal applications construct user interface components<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#dfn-user-interface-components> from characters whose color the application can specify. Furthermore, for purposes of 1.4.11 we should consider ASCII art to be a "graphic." Characters are not text<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#dfn-text> when used in these ways.

Cheers,
Mitchell

Hi all,

Today our sub-group tackling the application of WCAG to Text, Command-line, Terminal Applications and Interfaces met to discuss the analysis spreadsheet and an initial pass of the content updates Janina proposed. Meeting minutes are at: https://www.w3.org/2023/05/05-wcag2ict-minutes.html

This sub-group will meet again on Friday, 12 May. Work items for that meeting are:

  *   Review Janina's pull request:  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-line / Terminal Applications and Interfaces<https://deploy-preview-154--wcag2ict.netlify.app/#text-command-line-terminal-applications-and-interfaces>
  *   Review the attached spreadsheet where there were different answers in the analysis (shown with bold text and yellow highlight) and add further comments in support of those answers (why you answered Yes vs. No vs. was it really a Maybe). We'll focus from 1.1.1 Non-text content to 2.1.1 Keyboard. Note, Mary Jo added meeting comments in an additional column to consolidate meeting discussions. Feel free to correct if the discussion wasn't captured well enough.
