I see 8 items remaining on the agenda; the next one is
15:08:49 [Zakim]

15:08:50 [Zakim]
agendum 3. "Draft Section 3.1 Rule Outline https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/43/files?diff=split" taken up [from Wilco]
15:10:18 [shadi]
Moe: pass/fail criteria should be part of the outline
15:10:26 [shadi]
...did not see one for the rule itself
15:10:27 [maryjom]
maryjom has joined #wcag-act
15:10:45 [shadi]
Charu: rule outline has a description
15:10:54 [shadi]
...but also need a pass/fail criteria
15:11:03 [shadi]
...is that part of the test description?
15:11:13 [shadi]
...should it be added to the outline?
15:11:30 [shadi]
Wilco: think part of the test procedure
15:11:41 [shadi]
Charu: maybe that covers it
15:12:26 [shadi]
Moe: also comment by Romain
15:12:40 [shadi]
...think also falls under test procedure
15:13:52 [shadi]
Wilco: think remediation techniques more part of the background
15:14:02 [shadi]
...maybe separate thing
15:14:10 [shadi]
Moe: so part of the outline?
15:15:11 [shadi]
...want to make sure we are identifying the correct requirement
15:15:23 [shadi]
...not sure techniques should be part of the test procedure
15:15:44 [shadi]
Wilco: maybe better to have separate section on remediation?
15:15:54 [shadi]
Moe: as part of the outline?
15:16:03 [shadi]
Wilco: need to think it through
15:16:41 [shadi]
Charu: rule may map to more than one technique?
15:16:51 [shadi]
Wilco: we previously discussed relationship to techniques
15:17:09 [shadi]
...may not have 1:1 mappings but may be good to record mapping
15:17:33 [shadi]
Charu: than think need to mention techniques where we mention success criteria
15:18:00 [shadi]
Moe: under "associated criteria"
15:18:01 [shadi]
q+
15:18:23 [shadi]
Charu: sounds good
15:19:10 [Wilco]
Shadi: It may be useful to seperate between SC and techniques. SC is what we are testing for. Techniques are related materials
15:19:45 [Wilco]
... so it should be under another heading, like related techniques. I wonder if a rule can map to more than one criteria
15:20:25 [Wilco]
... there may be a 1 to 1 mapping to fail techniques. I would be hesitant to get into remediation
15:20:50 [Wilco]
Moe: Are you okay if we call it related techniques?
15:20:52 [Wilco]
Shadi: yes
15:20:54 [Wilco]
+1
15:21:26 [shadi]
Wilco: like that, then we can keep terminology a little clearer
15:21:42 [shadi]
...currently we call it "accessibility requirements"
15:23:50 [shadi]
Shadi: fine with "accessibility requirements" and "related techniques"
15:24:07 [shadi]
...just not sure about "remediation"
15:24:17 [shadi]
zakim, take up next
15:24:17 [Zakim]
I see a speaker queue remaining and respectfully decline to close this agendum, shadi
15:24:21 [shadi]
ack me
15:24:22 [shadi]
zakim, take up next
15:24:22 [Zakim]
agendum 4. "Rework of Rule Description Section https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/42/files?diff=split" taken up [from Wilco]
15:25:24 [shadi]
Charu: example of failure condition vs scope?
15:25:26 [maryjom]
regrets: Alistair, Romain, Detlev, Alan
15:25:31 [shadi]
...would say part of both
15:27:20 [shadi]
...for example, "all images" could be "scope"
15:27:45 [shadi]
...but "all images missing alt-text" could be the failure condition
15:27:59 [shadi]
Moe: may be putting too much in the description?
15:28:19 [shadi]
...there are other items where we could put this
15:28:37 [shadi]
...think description should be simple plain-language description
15:30:28 [shadi]
Charu: suggestion was to expand on the bullets
15:31:21 [shadi]
Wilco: agree with Moe on not indicating success criteria the description
15:32:08 [shadi]
Charu: so more focus on why we have the rule?
15:33:09 [shadi]
Moe: [reads out current outline]
15:33:21 [shadi]
...seems repeating a lot of what is in the outline
15:33:58 [shadi]
...requirements and assumptions elsewhere
15:34:21 [shadi]
q+
15:34:49 [shadi]
Charu: so remove these sections from the description?
15:35:18 [shadi]
Wilco: think so
15:36:00 [shadi]
Charu: already have accessibility requirements as a separate section, correct?
15:36:09 [shadi]
Wilco: will be listed in the outline
15:36:23 [shadi]
...should they also become new sections in the document
15:36:56 [shadi]
Charu: think this makes sense
15:37:01 [shadi]
Moe: me too
15:37:25 [shadi]
action: charu to add these items as separate sections
15:37:25 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-21 - Add these items as separate sections [on Charu Pandhi - due 2017-02-01].
15:37:40 [shadi]
Wilco: come right after the description
15:37:42 [Wilco]
q?
15:37:56 [Wilco]
ack s
15:38:53 [shadi]
Shadi: how far away are we from the auto-WCAG rules?
15:39:11 [shadi]
...previously we said we will have one or two example rules
15:39:24 [shadi]
...to have something specific to look at
15:40:29 [Charu]
+1 to Shadi, like the idea to have a rule that follows the markup
15:40:30 [shadi]
...kind of rapid prototyping as we go along
15:40:51 [shadi]
Wilco: can try to put a rule or two
15:42:04 [shadi]
zakim, take up next
15:42:04 [Zakim]
agendum 5. "Draft Section 6.1 Output Data https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/41/files?diff=split" taken up [from Wilco]
15:45:37 [shadi]
Wilco: test results include "can't tell" and "unknown", we need to pick one
15:45:58 [shadi]
...going with "can't tell" unless other thoughts
15:46:31 [shadi]
zakim, take up next
15:46:31 [Zakim]
agendum 6. "Possible F2F or informal get-together at CSUN" taken up [from Wilco]
15:47:50 [shadi]
Wilco: still looking for a host
15:48:10 [shadi]
zakim, take up next
15:48:10 [Zakim]
agendum 7. "Progress on issues assigned last week - what is ready to survey?" taken up [from Wilco]
15:49:24 [shadi]
Wilco: [checks on open issues]
15:53:37 [shadi]
Charu: section on limitations and assumption
15:54:04 [shadi]
Wilco: we just decided to take that direction
15:54:14 [shadi]
...both concepts are quite similar
15:54:50 [shadi]
Charu: why have a rule if you can use it?
15:55:08 [shadi]
Wilco: may need to look at the terminology
15:56:09 [shadi]
Shadi: sometimes also called "pre-conditions"
15:56:19 [shadi]
...depends on it is phrased
15:57:41 [shadi]
Charu: don't use that approach in our tests
15:58:07 [shadi]
Wilco: sometimes no solution to conflicting requirements for a rule to work
15:58:27 [shadi]
Charu: then we define the rule as possible violation
15:58:41 [shadi]
...for confirmation by manual testing
15:58:53 [shadi]
q+
15:59:48 [shadi]
Wilco: may be interesting to explore this approach too
16:00:00 [Kathy]
I have to sign off
16:01:26 [shadi]
Shadi: depends on how the tests are designed
16:01:37 [shadi]
...would be good to check how others approach it
16:07:25 [shadi]
