Previous...

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2011OctDec/0069.html
Authoring System Conformance (A, AA, AAA)
"Partial" Component-Only Conformance (A, AA, AAA)

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2011OctDec/0071.html 
"Full" ATAG 2.0 Conformance (No-Level, A, AA, AAA)
"Partial" Component-Only Conformance (No-Level, A, AA, AAA)

On the Call...

Authoring System Conformance
Authoring Tool Conformance

Full System Conformance
Sub-System Conformance

Unassisted Conformance
Assisted Conformance


After the Call....
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2011OctDec/0082.html
1. "Full" ATAG 2.0 Conformance (A, AA, or AAA)
2. "Partial" Conformance (No-Level, A, AA, AAA)



Other ideas welcome!

Cheers,
Jan

> <Jan> JT: Note that not just full disclosure...also progress towards

> 
> Jan: Agree that 'authoring tool' is problematic, but that is the name
> of the guidelines! We've defined it to be the whole thing.
> ... To change, we'd have to rename it to something bigger than the
> whole document.
> 
> AL: Perhaps need a term like authoring environent? Something along
> those lines.
> 
> <Jan> ATAG 2.0 System Conformance or
> 
> <jeanne> +1 to the name change
> 
> AL: 2 types: envinroment type, other is tool type.
> 
> <Jan> ATAG 2.0 Environmet Conformance
> 
> Jutta: other perspectives. Could have tool that only authors certain
> type of content. That tool could be seen as full conformance.
> 
> AL: Might need a matrix to define full conformance from a whole bunch
> of things.
> ... one axis: criteria, second axis: technologies.
> 
> Jan: Easier to explain that a simple tool can be a system?
> ... Note the astriks, noting the claim caveat.
> 
> Jutta, at the moment, we have full and partial, but the distinction is
> based on the accessible authoring features, but that isn't the wording
> the first one.
> 
> Jan: 1st one is end-to-end performance
> ... I see, it is 'accessible content' rather than 'web content'.
> 
> <Jan> - this conformance option *can* be chosen for authoring tools*
> that require no additional components to meet ATAG 2.0.

> <Jan> - this conformance option *can* be chosen for authoring tools*

> 
> Jeanne: Concerned with tools that only aspire to be focused. Having
> some 'full' some 'partial', doesn't sound great, sets up a heirarchy.
> 
> Jan: Partial in WCAG?
> 
> AL: Best idea we could come up with at the time, it was created mostly
> because system aggregators and user-gen content causes problems.
> 
> Jan: So someone could make a really great checker tool, but a problem
> elsewhere could mess it up.
> ... Full level, just failed a couple of criteria,
> 
> AC: How can you make a 'full' claim but not meet certain criteria,
> wouldn't that be a partial claim.
> 
> Jan: Sueann's example from VPAT: Say a tool is v accessible, but can't
> be installed accessibly.
> ... This text is going into the conformance levels area of the doc.
> 
> AL: Another site meets WCAG 2.0 A, plus a few AA but not enough to
> claim double A. They should be able to mark that down.
> ... Never really A/AA/AAA, there are in-betweens.
> 
> AC: Then why have partial?
> 
> Jan: Partial - the "no"s are ignored in terms of conformance.
> 
> Greg: Starting to segment tools by categories?
> ... Two tier conformance, you've got tool makers who can, but then
> you've got authors who can glue together different tools.
> ... Create conformance claim as an author.
> 
> AL: Authors don't have to make conformance claims.
> 
> J: Wordpress is an example, will want to claim, but don't include a
> checking and repair tool.
> 
> AL: That's why we get rid of "partial" and use component.
> 
> Jutta: Notion of ingrator/aggregator could pull tools together, how
> would they construct such a claim?
> 
> Jan: VPATs work by flowing through, they get it from developer, same
> thing here.
> 
> AC: Having no-level for Full conformance is ok if you have "component"
> rather than "partial" conformance as the other level.
> 
> <Jan> WHat about Full System Conformance vs. Sub-System Conformance?
> 
> Jeanne: Need to be sensitive to people with tools that are missing
> small parts of ATAG.
> 
> AL: We wouldn't claim for a system, we'd claim for specific tools.
> ... Why system vs sub? Why not system vs tools.
> 
> Jan: Tools can be whole or a small part.
> 
> J: 1 could be claimed by a very small tool, but because it meets all
> the requirements it can claim full conformance.
> ... 2 could be claimed by a large tool that covers every type of
> content, but doesn't try to have checking and repair.
> ... Pointing to size/complexity, rather than what accessible
> conformance it makes.
> 
> AL: Big systems wouldn't try for 1, just 2.
> 
> J: Worried that size of the tool / system as opposed to the degree to
> which it takes responsibility for accessible authoring practices.
> 
> AL: Most tools out there don't intend to do everything.
> 
> J: The largest thing is not always the thing that chooses to do all the
> accessibility features.
> ... 1. do it all yourself, where 'all' is differently defined. All may
> not be a lot.
> ... Suggesting 1 is 'system' and 2 'tool' conformance. But that implies
> it isn't how much of the accessible authoring practices it involves.
> ... What is really the distinction between 1 & 2, because it isn't
> whether it's a system or a tool.
> 
> AC: What about a workflow based differentiation?
> 
> Jutta: accessible workflow.
> 
> Jan: Let's hash out on the list.
