14:34:24 [shawn]

14:35:41 [allanj]
proposed edit:Some low visual acuity can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery – and some cannot. Therefore, some people will not see small text or fine details no matter what.
14:36:11 [shawn]
s/proposed edit:/straw proposal:
14:36:18 [ScottMcCormack]

Jim: Some discussion on the topic. Shawn has a proposed edit.
14:36:37 [shawn]
s/proposed edit/straw proposal
14:36:40 [JohnRochford]
I suggest "at all" rather than "no matter what".
14:36:48 [laura]
…any thoughts?
14:37:24 [shawn]
Some low visual acuity can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery – and some cannot. Therefore, some people will not see small text or fine details at all.
14:37:29 [jeanne]
+1 at all

Jim: Comment on contrast of illustration of Wayne’s style sheet. It is a real style sheet. He needs it to read.
14:42:11 [laura]
Shawn: maybe change the figcaption?
14:42:18 [ScottMcCormack]
does this figure meet color contrast requirements?
14:42:58 [laura]
wayne: it is a little above minimum.
14:43:58 [ScottMcCormack]
note that a user’s custom style may not meet color contrast
14:44:13 [ScottMcCormack]

14:44:30 [laura]
Jim: preface with it with “This a real style sheet ueed by a person with low vision.”
14:45:07 [ScottMcCormack]
A user’s style sheet meets the user’s need and does not need to meet WCAG requirements
14:45:45 [allanj]

14:45:59 [ScottMcCormack]
maybe include a couple user examples to show some wide variations

topic: Issue 43 figure descriptions
14:50:22 [laura]
Jim: Jim stated on writing long descriptions. Laura added some.
14:51:25 [shawn]
present+ AWK(second_part)
14:51:28 [ScottMcCormack]
would our audiance need such long descriptions?
14:51:33 [allanj]
laura and wayne think they are useful
14:51:50 [shawn]
+1 to Scott
14:52:14 [laura]
Jim: Useful and they are already done.
14:52:15 [JohnRochford]

14:53:52 [allanj]
shawn: what is the use case? would someone need the details?
14:54:12 [allanj]
wayne: when they cant see them.
14:54:43 [allanj]
awk: this section is to explain the issue, not to get into details.
14:55:24 [allanj]
... all see color differently. these are simulations.
14:55:52 [allanj]
... perhaps a couple of examples - yellow, pale yellow, pink, light gray.
14:56:29 [allanj]
... point is ... people see colors differently, and need to able to adjust colors to meet needs.
14:57:05 [allanj]
laura: information is useful...for those who don't have full color perception.
14:57:23 [allanj]
awk: make simpler color wheels.

14:58:23 [ScottMcCormack]
Color names are not always meaningful to people. Describe the key differences such as reds or blues are missing
14:58:33 [allanj]
... worry about descriptions. what do those words mean?
14:58:52 [AWK]
AWK has joined #lvtf

Give details about what changes for each simulated wheel
15:03:24 [allanj]
RGB
15:03:32 [laura]
…maybe do the same with fewer colors.
15:04:35 [shawn]
s/If we had something simpler?/If we had something simpler? Would 3 colors get across the point?
15:05:05 [laura]
wayne: if we think it is important. why not describe ot to all?
15:05:15 [ScottMcCormack]
Fig5: “Shows red-green color blindness- Reds and greens are missing replaced by shades of yellow with green and dark red being the same shade of yellow"
15:05:26 [ScottMcCormack]
something like that
15:06:30 [laura]

15:19:45 [ScottMcCormack]
+1 for edit
15:20:12 [laura]
Jim: perhaps an edit “It is easier to pick more readable fonts if each font name in the list is in its font — e.g., Times, Veranda, Courier (these should be in their font to illustrate) — so users can see how each font looks before choosing it.”
15:20:31 [ScottMcCormack]
I really like being able to preview fonts before I pick something I can’t see
15:20:42 [laura]
AWK: would vote for throwing it out.
15:21:14 [laura]
…worries that it is a distraction.
15:21:23 [ScottMcCormack]
Font names don’t convey information about how the font looks
15:21:53 [shawn]
[ /me waffling back and forth on this one! ]
15:22:14 [ScottMcCormack]
and one could end up with an unreadable page and limited ability to switch out
15:22:29 [JohnRochford]
Gotta go folks. Until next week...
15:22:30 [ScottMcCormack]
yes
15:22:33 [laura]
shawn: is this more of an issue for people with low vision?
15:23:18 [laura]
JS: Choice is important to someone with albinism.
15:24:44 [laura]
Scott: has been in situations where font choice it is important.
15:25:33 [laura]
AWK: where does that actually happen? maybe have another preview. What is the need?
15:25:43 [shawn]
Scott: if change the font to an unreadable one, then maybe can't even read it enough to change it back
