<trackbot> Date: 23 February 2012

SPREADSHEET, so we can make decisions on Thursday. there are 115 SC

to add your thoughts (numbers) to. Also, add implementations if you

have them. https://docs.google.com/a/tsbvi.edu/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiGLIaAlHSKdHNrcGNacUp2MHdXQW9sUmpBQ21Lenc&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0

discussion on the A11y Professional Association
Discussion on guideline levels - Please, Please -- Fill Out

<scribe> scribe: JimAllan

kf: question: will we be able to do the spreadsheet? or should we try
something else?
... why is this taking so long.

gl: 115 rows,by 13 columns and comments....its a lot. SS is difficult
... doesn't work well for me, just navigating.

kf: what can we do and call it success.

js: go down the implementation column and see what we know about browsers

https://docs.google.com/a/tsbvi.edu/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiGLIaAlHSKdHNrcGNacUp2MHdXQW9sUmpBQ21Lenc&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0

gl: implementation was also hard. created test files.
UA SC implementations

<Greg> I'd find the columns more intuitive if they were specific
disabilities rather than the current terms, which I find vague.

js: when Kim and I talked the implementation was to be off the top of
head. not so detailed

kp: getting the numbers down and if there is a cluster of @@ then we
can talk about those.
... column heads were to be functional rather than disability specific.

kf: start with Principle 2
211 keyboard operation

js: basically everyone does this.

gl: there are bugs. what about mobile browsers (those designed
specifically for touch screen)

kp: ipad configuring swipes and multiple touches.

js: need to get a rough count. easy to do or rough count. not discuss
and get detailed.

kp: generally implemented

kf: are there any features that are not keyboard accesible

every browser has some features that are not keyboard accessible.

js: is this something that is easy and should be an A or very hard and be a AAA
212 keyboard focus

generally true
213 viewport navigation

generally true
214 specify preferred keystrokes

keyconfig addon for FF change binding

perhaps greasemonky

sh: why looking only at browsers. if a given function can be
demonstrated in some other application, then it is possible and should
be counted in implementaions.

kf: MS word is a browser, and can do lots of things we are looking for.
no keyboard trap

generally supported, FF has issues
216 separate selection from activation

FF does well (at one time) , IE does not, Jaws does
217 follow text keyboard conventions

5
218 efficient keyboard access

generally true, check by looking at the UI to see if underscore and
shortcut keys

could be rewritten to be 'indicate keyboard shortcuts'

kf: leave it.
219 override bindings

gl: this is similar to 214. confusing.
... perhaps change to "author supplied user interface controls" to clarify.

214 is author supplied, 219 is UI controls

<scribe> ACTION: JAllan to compare keyboard section with jb keyboard
section from 2 years ago [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2012/02/23-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-714 - Compare keyboard section with jb
keyboard section from 2 years ago [on Jim Allan - due 2012-03-01].

js: does the IER match?

<Greg> We need to move the Elaine example from 2.1.4 to 2.1.9. Kim
will write a sentence for 2.1.4 Intent and/or example of author
supplied UI.

<jeanne> ACTION: jeanne to move the Elaine example from 2.1.4 to
2.1.9. [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2012/02/23-ua-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-715 - Move the Elaine example from 2.1.4 to

<jeanne> ACTION: Kim will write a sentence for 2.1.4 Intent and/or

<trackbot> Created ACTION-716 - Will write a sentence for 2.1.4 Intent
and/or example of author supplied UI. [on Kimberly Patch - due
2012-03-01].
221 provide sequential navigation

generally done by everyone. exception for mobile. FF does not do
object/embed navigation
222 nav between viewports

generally everyone, except mobile devices
223 defaul nav

generally all
224 wrap navigation

no one knows of a UA that does this

<mhakkien> better late than never (i hope)
231 direct nav to impt elements

<KimPatch> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiGLIaAlHSKdHNrcGNacUp2MHdXQW9sUmpBQ21Lenc#gid=0

<KimPatch> Cell R81

<Greg> Chrome with ChromeVox add-on provides sequential navigation to
selected types of structural or operable elements (e.g. next/previous
h2).

<Greg> Which SC does that fall into? Is that structural navigation or
sequential navigation with filtering?

<Greg> (Thanks to Mark for info on ChromeVox.)

discussion about direct navigation and sequential navigation of
important elements.

<Greg> Definition of Important Elements: This specification
intentionally does not identify which "important elements" must be
navigable because this will vary by specification. What constitutes
"efficient navigation" may depend on a number of factors as well,
including the "shape" of content (e.g. sequential navigation of long
lists is not efficient) and desired granularity (e.g. among tables,...

<Greg> ...then among the cells of a given table). Refer to the
Implementing document [Implementing UAAG 2.0] for information about
identifying and navigating important elements. @@ Editors' Note:
Update links

mh: what is an element? html element, and combination of HTML div
span, etc with a "role" (aria)

kp: structural and operable elements

<kford> ACTION: KFord Resolve direct and sequential navigation to
important elements 2.3.1 and 2.2.1. [recorded in

navigation to important elements 2.3.1 and 2.2.1. [on Kelly Ford - due
