James: Any notes to catch me up as I have been out?
Eric: Making good progress on code with Caleb. IA coming along.
James: Where are we on IA with locking down the current version and be able to hand off to Eric?
Shawn: We have made comments and sent them back to list. Do not know what has been updated based on this feedback.
Sharron: I have comment on the mock-up that Eric provided. We decided not to have "Accessibility" in all of the primary navigation.
<yatil> https://w3c.github.io/wai-website-components/components/preview/example-text.html
Sharron: Note, I am fine with "I'm New to Accessibility" being the only place that includes the word.
Eric: I am updating the mockup now.
James: If we are still testing
some of the options for the primary nav, then it makes sense to
hold of them.
... I will look over the recommendations that were sent in and
respond to them. So Eric, there may be some minor changes when
I respond.
James: Need to know where we are on search (scrounge - code name). Are we going to be including the search with the roll-out?
Eric: Yes, we want to include the search with the roll-out. The resources working on that have gone down a different path [search not including the entire site].
<yatil> [ Eric has removed Accessibility from top level menu items: https://w3c.github.io/wai-website-components/components/preview/example-text.html]
Shawn: Yes, confirm that. The status is that we are not going to have a smart search unless we can pull in other resources to assist.
James: Okay.
Alica: Have not implemented anything since the last meeting. I am a little more busy now than when we started. I will work to fit in the updates when they are sent to me.
James: I want to make sure that
everyone is on the same page with the Style Guide.
... Does anyone have any thoughts on the email that I sent last
night? I want to be sure that all Editors have the same
understanding.
Sharron: We have updated the Guide to Editors and Review Team with the additions that James suggested as updated by Shawn.
Shawn: We added the reading level back into the Style Guide as well.
James: This looks good, I am glad it is in there.
Sharron: We have also added it to the EOWG agenda for Friday as well. We will cover it and be sure all Editors are clear on expectations. We will point to this.
James: Thank you for acting on the feedback and including it in the Style Guide and Editors Guide.
Sharron: One thing Shawn pointed out, is that the work "accessibility" will already throw off the readability results because of that one word.
James: Yes, We may never get down to 9th grade readability, but if we are lowing the grade level readability then we are at least meeting the goal.
Shawn: It would be helpful to know "how much" the word accessibility actually drives up the readability of the content. So we can understand how we are doing with or without the word accessibility.
James: Understand. Feel the
formulas are still valuable. They are not perfect and
reliable.
... We will create an appendix of examples of tersification and
Bulliting lengthier passages. This will be added to the Style
Guide at the bottom.
Shawn: What about Style Guide Voice. Active and Passive.
James: I agree that Voice is part of Tone.
Shawn: Okay to put them together?
Task Force is okay with putting them together.
James: Any other topics
... Okay, meeting adjourned.
