fred: Let’s start talking about roles
13:22:31 [richardschwerdtfeger]
fred: This one area that is talking about SVG in the third person
13:22:39 [richardschwerdtfeger]
s/This/There/
13:22:59 [richardschwerdtfeger]
amelia: We should edit the co-evolution of WAI-ARIA and host languages
13:24:18 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Action: Rich update preliminaries in the SVG spec to better focus on SVG vs. legacy HTML
13:24:19 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-1659 - Update preliminaries in the svg spec to better focus on svg vs. legacy html [on Richard Schwerdtfeger - due 2015-06-26].
13:26:31 [richardschwerdtfeger]
fred: Let’s look at section 4.1 where there are 2 new graphics roles g-icon and g-symbol
13:28:41 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: I think the intro needs to more clearly emphasize the action
13:29:51 [chaals]
q+
13:29:58 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: We don’t want to encourage people to support interactivity where it needs to be interactive
13:30:14 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: I will update the example
13:30:31 [LJWatson]
present+ LJWatson
13:30:48 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Jason: I suggest we make it look like the ARIA Spec. in terms of its position in the taxonmy
13:32:12 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: we need to require the name
13:32:31 [chaals]
q-
13:33:19 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: Let’s discuss symbol

Link to rawgit: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/graphics.html
13:34:04 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: I will play around with the definition of symbol
13:34:25 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: The symbol element will never be in the accessibility tree
13:34:41 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: we need to apply symbol to <use>
13:35:09 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: you have one of these text icon on an element witthin a group. …
13:35:30 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: were we coing to ask for something linked from a symbol?
13:35:56 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: I am going to spend to day working on this. We can go over edits to the mapping spec. next week
13:36:12 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: Were there roles that we missed and agreed to put in
13:36:28 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: there is the figure role and the structured graphical component
13:36:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: That mean it is like a group or something?
13:36:47 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: Any other comments on the document so far.
13:37:13 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: Is everyone ok for me puttng in fallback role information?
13:37:27 [fesch]
q?
13:37:36 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: Yes if is informative notes
13:38:33 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Topic: Taxonomy
13:38:45 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: We have some pretty aggressive schedules.
13:40:46 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Doug: The SVG working group is going to have another face to face in Paris in the fall.
13:41:10 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Doug: Looking to CR version of SVG in Q!16
13:43:15 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: I would like to see the chart roles in SVG2
13:45:21 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: Would like to also see roles needed fo native host language semantics as well as needed states and properties to synch with HTML as well
13:45:56 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: There is an aria-roledescription going into ARIA 1.1
13:46:04 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: Trying to get ARIA 1.1 locked down too
13:46:46 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: let’s talk about the graphical group role and what to call it
13:47:12 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Doug: I would like to see g-group
13:47:27 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: is there a definition for that on the wiki?
13:47:52 [AmeliaBR]
https://www.w3.org/wiki/ARIA_roles_for_graphics#Structured_Graphical_Component
13:48:32 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: Graphica components can be nested. These should be the default roles in SVG.
13:49:13 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: If you put a title on this group it maps to a new role
13:49:37 [AmeliaBR]
s/default roles/default role for <svg> and <g>/
13:49:46 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: Before we said we were going to explicitly define roles … I wanted to put a label on a group to have it participate in navigation
13:50:03 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: Do I need to put a role on that?
13:50:09 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: no it maps automatically
13:50:21 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: if you have alternative text on it
13:51:50 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: looking at the stack bar chart and we want to be able to navigate up and down the stacks. To make it navigable we don’t need to put a role on it.
13:52:06 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: … we don’t need to put tabindex on everything
13:52:30 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: I thought we had an explicit thing on it we need to put a role on it.
13:52:36 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: no
13:52:54 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: there is a set of about 5 things that trigger whether it is in the accessibility tree.
13:53:09 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: it makes polyfills a little harder
13:53:16 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: that is great
13:54:18 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Rich: The important thing is does the role of the object reflect its purpose
13:54:54 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: The one thing I wanted to clarify is that if we are going to refer to graphical group it will be the main role for an entire SVG.
13:55:36 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: We need to have a way that they have switchted into a graphics (graphical group) and it may trigger a new graphical navigation mode.
13:55:49 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: right now we have document and widget navigation modes
13:56:18 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: if we are going to have new graphical navigation modes then we need to let the browser and AT to know that you have now entered into a graphical navigation mode.
13:56:29 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: If you have SVG can you have a role of icon?
13:56:51 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: that means you could not navigate inside
13:56:52 [fesch]
q?
13:57:23 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: We said you need to be able to navigate based on the visual layout (left, right, top, down) … to deal with things like charts and maps
13:57:39 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: We are going to navigate a table
13:57:52 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: if we are going to investigate new navigation options
13:58:05 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: there is navigating like a tree
13:58:20 [fesch]
q?
13:58:26 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Leonie: I don’t relish the work having to adjust to this as a user
13:58:48 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Charles: visual navigation is a way to get around what you can’t see.
13:58:58 [AmeliaBR]
s/We are going to/Similar to the way you/
13:59:02 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Charles: it is a mechanism that is extremely limiting at best.
13:59:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Leonie: from an unsighted perspective spacial navigation is difficult.
14:00:00 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Amelia: We don’t want to tab through a 100 things to get to something
14:00:26 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Fred: I think you could just support both so that the user has a way to pick the navigation mode they want
14:00:45 [AmeliaBR]
s/We don't/It's more for sighted keyboard users, who don't/
14:01:20 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Jason: Graphical group might trigger a different navigation mode. If someone is using SVG to create their own widget set. … What you are doing is creating a whole set of child nodes that effect your accessibility tree
14:01:35 [chaals]
s/is a way/is not an easy way/
14:01:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Jason: You may not want an explicit group there
14:01:56 [chaals]
[chaals leaves]
14:01:56 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Jason: … non-presentational child elements
