Face to Face planning, go over proposed agenda

<scribe> scribe: Harper_Simon

<scribe> ScribeNick: sharper

KF: F2F in less than 2 weeks - trying to get the document done -solid at 
IDing actions which are left
... Current think - work - 1.5h divide actions and finish for each 
section of the document - assignment doesn't matter - 45 minutes to 
integrate and resolve. iterate this.
... Goal is to get these done.

JS: Cycle back and look at the levels for any section that is done.

KF: write, review, set level - lets get this done before we go home.
... 08:30 start - show up 08:00-08:30
finalize 1.7

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2012AprJun/0042.html

<jeanne> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2012AprJun/0073.html

JS: repeats the text as per the e-mail link above

<jeanne> 1.7.2 Apply User Stylesheets:

<jeanne> The user can turn on the use of user stylesheets (Level A)

<jeanne> (a) all pages on specified web sites, or

<jeanne> (b) all pages.

JS: clarifies that all pages on specific website can be turned on, GL: 
confirms this is OK

<jeanne> The user can apply user stylesheets.

GL/JS: general wordsmithing

<jeanne> The user can apply or disable user stylesheets

GL: can have multiple user style sheets - can clarify in the intent
... need to specify different CSS for different websites
... is point (a) useful at all in this case - is this really good enough.
... turning on and off user style sheets may be cumbersome

JS: agreed, but not sure this is level A
... which more important - a at A, or different and a different level
... lets make sure this is in the intent

JS/GL: running through scenarios of use

KF: apply or disable = enable or disable?

<jeanne> The user can enable or disable user stylesheets for (Level A)

The user can enable or disable the use of user stylesheets (Level A): 
(a) all pages on specified web sites; or (b) all pages.

<KimPatch> off for about 10

RESOLUTION: Level 1.7.2 as suggested by above , but add to intent to 
recommend different stylesheets load for different website.

he user can enable or disable user stylestheets for (Level A)

JS: the IER for these are combined

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2012/ED-IMPLEMENTING-UAAG20-20120517/

Intent of Success Criterion 1.7.1, 1.7.2 & 1.7.3: are combined

<jeanne> Since different web sites may require different style changes 
to be readable, it is recommended that user agents provide a feature 
that lets the user specify which stylesheet should be automatically 
applied to different web pages as they are loaded.

<Greg> Something like "It is recommended that user agents provide a 
feature that lets the user specify which stylesheets should be 
automatically applied to different web pages as they are loaded (e.g. 
based on a list of domain names or URL templates)."

GL: adding - it is recommended that UAs provide a feature that lets the 
user specify which CSS should be automatically applied to different web 
pages as they are loaded - eg based on a list of domains or URL templates.

<jeanne> 1.7.3 Author Style Sheets:

<jeanne> The user can turn off the use of author stylesheet on the 
current page (Level A)

JS: reads JA: remove the current a and b bullets

<jeanne> The user can turn off the use of author stylesheets on the 
current page (Level A)

JS: stylesheet should be plural

<Greg> I'd prefer "The user can turn off the use of author stylesheets 
on the current page or the current viewport".

<Greg> Either globally or for the current viewport.

RESOLUTION: The user can disable the use of author stylesheets on the 
current page (Level A)

topic 1.7.4 Save copies of stylesheets

current: The user can save copies of the stylesheets referenced by the 
current page, so that they can edit and load them as user (Level AA)

JS channels JA: proposes AAA - no current functionality - and only some 
UAs can do this with an extension.

JS: thinks it's OK at AA - KP agrees

GL: eg in FF puts copies of all CSS into a folder - upon save

SH: safari - does this via a WebArchive

<jeanne> JS: I remember Wayne saying that Safari had the best interface 
for stylesheet management

RESOLUTION: Stay at AA

Links to stylish, mouseless browsing, greasemonkey etc

<Greg> Issue: Add SC recommending feature to automatically apply 
different scripts to different pages when they load (e.g. Greasemonkey). 
Product-2

<trackbot> Created ISSUE-92 - Add SC recommending feature to 
automatically apply different scripts to different pages when they load 
(e.g. Greasemonkey). Product-2 ; please complete additional details at 
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/issues/92/edit .

<KimPatch> 1.8.m Webpage bookmarks

<KimPatch> The user can mark items in a webpage, then navigate back to 
marked items using keyboard shortcuts. The user can specify whether a 
navigation mark disappears after a session or is persistent across sessions.

<KimPatch> Intent of Success Criterion 1.8.m:

<KimPatch> This success criterion is crucial for users who have trouble 
navigating a webpage. Speech users, users who have memory problems, and 
small-screen users, including blind users using mobile technology may be 
able to initially go from one area of a webpage to another area, but may 
have trouble frequently repeating the action. The ability to mark areas 
of the page allows these types of users to...

<KimPatch> ...participate on a level playing field with users who have 
less trouble navigating.

<KimPatch> Examples of Success Criterion 1.8.m:

<KimPatch> Jamie is a quadriplegic who uses speech recognition. She is a 
professor who often reads long documents online and often finds herself 
comparing different portions of the same document. It is tedious 
carrying out multiple scrolling commands by speech every time she needs 
to change to another portion of the document. She sets several bookmarks 
instead. This allows her to instantly jump among...

<KimPatch> ...sections, eliminating the time and effort penalties she 
usually has to pay for slow scrolling.

<KimPatch> Julie has memory problems. She finds it difficult to remember 
key points from a document she has just read. She uses bookmarks to mark 
important points she needs to read again. Without the ability to 
bookmark she has a catch-22 problem -- she won’t remember what she needs 
to read multiple times in order to do so.

<KimPatch> Justin is blind and occasionally travels to unfamiliar places 
for work. He sometimes uses an iPhone to orient himself within a map of 
the building he’s in. Once he’s found a key place on the map -- like the 
room where a conference session is held, or the bathroom -- he bookmarks 
it to build a map of useful places. This makes navigation easier the 
second time around. He sets the marks to be...

<KimPatch> ...persistent across sessions so next time he visits he won't 
have to repeat his work.

<KimPatch> Mary has repetitive strain injuries that make it painful to 
use a mouse. She uses an elaborate web application to correct papers. 
After putting a comment in a comment field she has to scroll all the way 
to the bottom of the document to enter the comment. The bookmarks make 
even this badly designed application something she can use successfully 
without hurting herself.

<KimPatch> --

GL: use modality independent language
... too fcused on keyboard

KP: changes on the fly

KF: this functionality and scenarios are the way they work on screen 
-readers and AT.

<KimPatch> The user can mark items in a webpage, then navigate back to 
marked items using modality independent shortcuts. The user can specify 
whether a navigation mark disappears after a session or is persistent 
across sessions.

KF: 'bookmarks' is good

KP: using modality independent shortcuts

GL: How different from just saying shortcuts?

JS: just use shortcuts

<KimPatch> The user can mark items in a webpage, then navigate back to 
marked items using shortcuts. The user can specify whether a navigation 
mark disappears after a session or is persistent across sessions.

GL: do we need a defn for shortcuts?

KP: to create defn for shortcuts

RESOLUTION: KPs 631 IET modified as 'The user can mark items in a 
webpage, then navigate back to marked items using shortcuts. The user 
can specify whether a navigation mark disappears after a session or is 
persistent across sessions.' - definition of shortcut to be created
