<kford> Sorry I keep trying to connect with the phone but it doesn't seem to be working.

Register for TPAC http://www.w3.org/2011/11/TPAC/

<jeanne> TPAC will be an unconference format. See the list of ideas for sessions <- http://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2011/SessionIdeas

Dates for UAWG meeting is Nov 3 & 4

registration closes 14 october and registration fee goes up

Resolve configure important items, UA determine relationships.

<jeanne> JS: I don't think we have enough people for a viable consensus. Postpone until next week.

Review/Resolve outstanding issues

<jeanne> JA: Principle 1 is complete

<jeanne> ... Principle 5 is complete

<jeanne> ... need a summary for 4.2

<jeanne> ... 4.2.1 and 4.2.2need intent. (already have examples)

<jeanne> [group breaks for writing]

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2011/ED-UAAG20-20110819

<kford> Possible Summary for 2.2:

<kford> That's 4.2.

<kford> Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents (4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2) and input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

<kford> Possible summaries for 4.2 and 2.7:

<kford> 4.2

<kford> Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents (4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2) and input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

<kford> 2.7

<kford> The user can customize user agent settings related to accessibility (2.7.1) with settings changes being saved between sessions (2.7.2) and restore settings to default values (2.7.3). Users can have multiple sets of preferences (2.7.4), have related settings restored to default as a group (2.7.5) and adjust preferences outside the user agent main user interface (2.7.6). Users can also...

<kford> ...transfer settings between devices (2.7.7) and are offered a wizard to assist in user customization (2.7.8).

possible summaries for 3.1-3.4

3.1 Users can turn off non-essential messaes from the author or user-agent.

3.2 Users can choose to confirm form submissions.

3.3 User documentation is available in an accessible format (3.3.1), it includes accessbilbity features (3.3.2), delineates differences between versions (3.3.3), provides a centralized views of the browser meets UAAG2.0 (3.3.4), and is available as context sensitive help in the UA (3.3.5).

3.4 Moving the focus allow presentation of information (e.g. tooltips) but does not cause any other action (3.4.2). Users can prevent non-requested focus changes (3.4.1).

proposed Summary for 2.1

<jeanne> Guideline 2.1 - Ensure full keyboard access.

<jeanne> Users have many ways to input information into a computer or device, including mouse, keyboard, gesture, and speech. The keyboard paradigm is the most universal interface for text input - even devices that do have a keyboard (like mobile phones) support a software interface for them. All functions can be operated only using a keyboard (2.1.1), the focus can be moved by the keyboard (2.1.2, 2.1.3),

<jeanne> important or commonly used features of the web page or application should have shortcut keys for direct navigation (2.1.8). and the user can override keyboard shortcuts and user interface controls (2.1.4). Users should have a mechanism to escape keyboard traps such as embedded objects that do not return focus to the main web page (2.1.5). Users can set a preference that selecting an item in a

<jeanne> dropdown list or menu, does not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6). Text entry should use the standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).

Proposed Summary for 2.2

<jeanne> Guideline 2.2 - Provide sequential navigation

<jeanne> Users need to be able to move through all the enabled content in the web page in a logical sequential fashion (2.2.1 and 2.2.2). Unless the author specifies a different navigation order, the default is the document order (2.2.3). Users can prevent or request notification when wrapping to the start of the page, to prevent unwanted repetition (2.2.4).

<KimPatch> 2.1.2 Keyboard Focus (former 1.9.1):

<KimPatch> Every viewport has an active or inactive keyboard focus at all times. (Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.1.3 Viewport Navigation (former 1.9.2 & 1.9.4):

<KimPatch> The user can move the active keyboard focus to any viewport. (Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.2.1 Sequential Navigation Between Elements [replaces 1.9.8 Bi-Directional and 2.1.8 Keyboard Navigation]

<KimPatch> The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards through all recognized enabled elements in the current viewport. (Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.2.2 Sequential Navigation Between Viewports [NEW]:

<KimPatch> The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards between viewports, without having to sequentially navigate all the elements in a viewport. (Level A)

<scribe> ACTION: revisit Nested User Agents 2.1.2, 2.1.3, .2.2.1, 2.2.2, -- these should be cross referenced with gl 4.2 <-- should also be reviewed. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/09/01-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - revisit

<sharper_> Users can discover the keys which facilitate direct navigation and activation (2.5.1), view their location in the structural hierarchy (2.5.3), along with the relationships within that hierarchy (2.5.5), and specify the elements (2.5.7+1.10.3) important to building and navigate different hierarchical views (1.10.2).

summary 4.2 Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents (4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2) and input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

summary 4.2 Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents (4.2.1), the user can retrieve input focus at any time (4.2.2) and input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

2.7.5 summary

The user can customize user agent settings related to accessibility (2.7.1) with settings changes being saved between sessions (2.7.2) and restore settings to default values (2.7.3). Users can have multiple sets of preferences (2.7.4), have related settings restored to default as a group (2.7.5) and adjust preferences outside the user agent main user interface (2.7.6).

summary for GL 3.1 -3.4

3.1 Users can turn off non-essential messaes from the author or user-agent.

3.2 Users can choose to confirm form submissions.

3.3 User documentation is available in an accessible format (3.3.1), it includes accessbilbity features (3.3.2), delineates differences between versions (3.3.3), provides a centralized views of the browser meets UAAG2.0 (3.3.4), and is available as context sensitive help in the UA (3.3.5).

3.4 Moving the focus allow presentation of information (e.g. tooltips) but does not cause any other action (3.4.2). Users can prevent non-requested focus changes (3.4.1).

gl: what about an SC requiring spell checking for folks with reading or writing disabilities.

all agree.

<scribe> ACTION: Greg to write new SC 3.2.x about spell checking [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/09/01-ua-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-611 - Write new SC 3.2.x about spell checking [on Greg Lowney - due 2011-09-08].

3.3 User documentation is available in an accessible format (3.3.1), it includes accessibility features (3.3.2), delineates differences between versions (3.3.3), provides a centralized views of conformance UAAG2.0 (3.3.4), and is available as context sensitive help in the UA (3.3.5).

<scribe> scribe: jallan

kf: first couple of sentences read more like an intent.

JS: move first 2 sentences to intent of 2.1.1

<Greg> "important or commonly used features should have shortcut keys for direct navigation (2.1.8)"

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and can move focus (2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard.

gl: but need to distinguish between 212 and 213

Users can override author keyboard shortcuts and user interface controls (2.1.4)

can override keyboard shortcuts and user interface keyboard controls (2.1.4)

Users can escape keyboard traps such as embedded objects that do not return focus to the main web page (2.1.5).

<Greg> "Users can override keyboard shortcuts in content and the user agent's user interface (2.1.4)"

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus (2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important or common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), override keyboard shortcuts and user interface controls (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps (2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menuoes not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6),...

<KimPatch> ...and use standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).

<sharper_> Users can discover the keys which facilitate direct navigation and activation (2.5.1), view their current location in the structural hierarchy (2.5.3) as well as the relationships within that hierarchy (2.5.5), and specify the elements (2.5.7+1.10.3) important to building and navigating different hierarchical views (1.10.2).

Simon's proposal for 2.5

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus (2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important or common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), override content and interface keyboard shortcuts (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps (2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menuoes not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6) and use...

<KimPatch> ...standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).

need lots of discussion about 1.10.2 1.10.3 and 2.5.7 and 2.5.4

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1) and move focus (2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important or common features with shortcut keys (2.1.8), override content and interface keyboard shortcuts (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps (2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menu doesn't activate or move item to that new web page (2.1.6). User can use...

<KimPatch> ...standard keys for text entry (2.1.7).

<Greg> "override keyboard shortcuts in content and user interface (2.1.4)"

<Greg> (Don't want it to read like "override content and override interface keyboard shortcuts.)
