Hi everyone,
And sorry for the subject line, no physical spikes are involved! (But did it get your attention?)
As discussed in the conformance meeting on Tuesday, we’d like to put together a couple of groups to focus on two particular problems:
1.
How to assign provisions to many levels.
2.
How to create a "progress towards conformance" score.
There is more to both proposals than just those aspects, but these are core issues that need to be addressed in order for the fuller proposals to be feasible.
1) For the first group, Adam has volunteered to run/support things from a chair point of view. The obvious other people to join are Shadi and Hidde (who volunteered in the meeting). If there are others who would like to join, please email me. However, 3 is enough if Shadi and Hidde have time in the next couple of weeks. If we get a lot of people we might separate it and have multiple groups working in parallel.
I suggest you make a copy of the provision management sheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V7u1tjVsxL9NgN9ySoUtt0gmYReXSs0Y9Bc_R2RByzg/edit?gid=0#gid=0>, save it into the conformance folder<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n7Jso4p5wQ9ItSiS3aHPNyjN6tZy5a_R>, remove the sheets/columns you don’t need, and go from there. The deliverables would be a list of provisions in their levels, the criteria used, and a short presentation or bit of text on how it went and any thoughts for the group.
2) For the second group, I’ll run/support as a chair, and the obvious other person to join is Gregg (I didn’t see any other volunteers from the meetings). If there are others who would like to join, please email me.
We can use the provision management sheet, and also some of the previous proposals<https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/wiki/Conformance-Proposals-2018-to-present> included scoring mechanisms. We can also use previous test materials to show how the scoring would work for different types of site, criteria used, and short presentation.
This is intended to be short: Group 2 will report back on May 26th, group 1 on June 9th.
Kind regards,
-Alastair
