June 29th Meeting Prep Survey [2] to close actions 19 and 20

<Andi> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUN292012/results

AS: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value

<Andi> Most platform accessibility services go beyond programmatic exposure of name and role, and programmatic setting of states, properties and values (and notification of same), and specify additional information that could or should be exposed and/or set (for example a list of the available actions for a given user interface component, and a means to programmatically execute one of the listed

<Andi> actions).

<Andi> Most platform accessibility services go beyond programmatic exposure of name and role, and programmatic setting of states, properties and values (and notification of same), and specify additional information that could or should be exposed and/or set (for instance, a list of the available actions for a given user interface component, and a means to programmatically execute one of the listed

<Andi> actions).

RESOLUTION: Accept 4.1.2 proposal #4 as amended.

AS: 1.3.1 Info and Relationships

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUN292012/results#xq2

<Andi> There may also be cases where it may be a judgment call as to whether the relationships should be programmatically determined or be presented in text. However, when ***technologies support programmatic relationships***, **it is preferable that** information and relationships **are** programmatically determined rather than described in text.

<Zakim> BBailey, you wanted to ask about tense agreement

<Andi> There may also be cases where it may be a judgment call as to whether the relationships should be programmatically determined or be presented in text. However, when technologies support programmatic relationships, it is strongly encouraged that information and relationships be programmatically determined rather than described in text.

RESOLUTION: Accept 1.3.1 proposal 2 as amended.

Return to June 5th Meeting Prep Survey, starting with 2.4.2 Page Titled

<Andi> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUN052012/results#xq5

AS: 2.4.2 Page Titled

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUN052012/results#xq5

David: We can list what 'page title' equates to in documents: a document title and where technology doesn't support that the file name will suffice.

PK: The problematic area is how this applies to software.

<Kiran> +q

GV: Purpose of SC - users who can't see the whole page at a time have trouble navigating between windows.
... In Web, title of page shows up as a 'handle' and isn't always visible. Each dialog or application needs to have a text name or 'handle' associated with it so when you bring up the active things you can jump to that they each have a name.
... If the technology doesn't support it, then the first text can typically give you enough context.

<Kiran> -q

Al: File names aren't a good naming system and doesn't think this is a good equivalent - you're limited by the file system to give a meaningful name.

PK: Leverage 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 that concrete things in the UI need a name, role, state.
... If every context of interaction had a name, we could meet this provision without worrying too much about the mapping of the terms to the right level of UI for 4.1.2.

Alex: Single purpose devices with built-in AT may have no real need for titles.

GV: Even single-purpose devices may have a purpose for titles. Different contexts of interaction have some title or text at the beginning that describes what the context is about.
... Contexts will have a container of some sort and some text or name associated with them.
... 4.1.2 doesn't require that the name make sense.

David: Today in acrobat, the file name gets more exposure than the document title and it's difficult to get to the title with a screen reader.

Alex: Antivirus program title, for example, is the application name. We don't want to constrain to using file names, so must be careful in crafting the words.

Mike: The title should descibe the purpose of the task.

<Andi> ACTION: Peter to draft a new proposal for 2.4.2 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/06/29-wcag2ict-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-21 - Draft a new proposal for 2.4.2 [on Peter Korn - due 2012-07-06].

AS: 2.4.5 Multiple ways

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUN052012/results#xq6

<Kiran> +q

Kiran: If you have a simple document, this may not really apply. However, if it is a collection of documents it is more needed.
... For software, not all functions need multiple ways, such as the About dialog.

AS: Someone suggested help as one of the multiple ways, but help doesn't typically have a direct linkage to the actual function but instead tells you how to get to the function.

PK: We shouldn't have to say this directly applies to software. Perhaps we should ask WCAG if we can say this doesn't apply, even though our charter says we can't state applicability.

GV: Process exception means that there is a certain sequence that must be followed to complete the task.
... We can't say this doesn't apply. We have to say what it would mean to apply this to software.

Loïc: EU M376 discussions were looking at this to be dialog boxes inside of an application are an interaction context. So this SC doesn't make sense to apply to software based on that definition.

AS: Not all software functions really need to have multiple ways to get to the function. We don't want to have to have an accelerator key for every menu item. Example: Word count function doesn't have an accelerator key.

GV: We would have to change our charter to be able to say this SC doesn't apply.

shadi: Need to differentiate between functions and dialogs that are part of a process. There may be use cases where this SC could apply.

GV: This SC doesn't mean multiple ways to 'operate', but 'finding' the function. Need to have more discussions on the use of 'interaction context'.

<Andi> ACTION: Gregg to work with Pierce, Al, David, Loïc to draft proposal for 2.4.5 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/06/29-wcag2ict-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-22 - Work with Pierce, Al, David, Loïc, Alex to draft proposal for 2.4.5 [on Gregg Vanderheiden - due 2012-07-06].

GV: Likes the use of 'context of interaction' as a substitute for 'Web page'. A context of interaction would include any element a user can do simple navigation to without activating anything to get to it.
... In an application environment, modal dialogs are a context of interaction, as is the entire application window.

AS: Set of interaction contexts - would that be a set of applications?

GV: No, that would only apply for applications that are meant to be in a set.

AS: We also need to discuss interaction context in the mobile environment.

David: Keep the 'set of interaction contexts' within the context of the application.
