18:08:31 [carmacleod]
mck: as of right now, it looks like we are only at 50%, but that will change in the next few hours
18:10:19 [carmacleod]
Regarding https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/727 - don't link directly into spec for now
18:11:31 [carmacleod]
mck: meter pattern, colindextext, rowindextext should have something to review next week
18:11:56 [carmacleod]
TOPIC: TPAC review, including long term strategy and priorities
18:12:11 [carmacleod]
mck: one part of TPAC agenda to review
18:12:33 [carmacleod]
mck: long-term goals related to APG
18:13:23 [carmacleod]
mck: first goal has always been to get full coverage of aria spec so that folks can get guidance
18:13:43 [zcorpan]
zcorpan has joined #aria-apg
18:13:47 [Jemma_]
1. Full coverage of ARIA spec
18:13:47 [Jemma_]
2. Integration of assistive technology support tables
18:13:47 [Jemma_]
3. Code quality and readability
18:13:47 [Jemma_]
4. APG Usability
18:13:47 [Jemma_]
5. Integration with other W3C accessibility educational resources
18:13:53 [carmacleod]
mck: add info about which examples can be used "right now"
18:14:12 [carmacleod]
mck: on track to deliver AT support tables next year
18:14:41 [carmacleod]
mck: quality of code, i.e. contrast issues, etc
18:15:12 [carmacleod]
mck: goal that by the end of next year that we have done an end to end audit
18:16:05 [carmacleod]
mck: longer term: usability of the apg itself, convert APG from a monolithic note into a web site.
18:16:19 [carmacleod]
mck: like WAI-ARIA Tutorials
18:17:30 [carmacleod]
mck: every time we publish, new versions of examples are created, old ones live forever
18:18:10 [carmacleod]
mck: need more educational/explanatory resources, all under one umbrella
18:19:05 [carmacleod]
mck: would need support from other groups, might need joint task force to make it happen
18:19:47 [carmacleod]
jon: what happened with combo box?
18:20:08 [carmacleod]
mck: microsoft isn't willing to go along with proposal, so more discussion is necessary
18:21:05 [carmacleod]
mck: nvda made fixes to support 1.1 model, so if we can get 1.1 pattern to work in AT, may be better not to introduce another new pattern
18:21:26 [Jemma_]
http://a11y.pro/combobox-TPAC2019/
18:21:27 [carmacleod]
mck: not sure all problems can be solved robustly with 1.1
18:21:40 [Jemma_]
I copied Matt's presentation
18:21:58 [Jemma_]
s/copied/copied the url of
18:23:10 [carmacleod]
zoe: regarding code readability, I am drafting guidance in issue 1180 - please add comments
18:24:15 [Jemma_]
https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1180
18:25:09 [carmacleod]
evan: I can do a PR for modernizing using build
18:26:17 [carmacleod]
sarah: I can help with build processes so that we can use more ES6 code, etc, and update examples
18:27:09 [carmacleod]
mck: how would this look for users?
18:27:36 [carmacleod]
zoe: we would still link to our js files to show the javascript
18:29:14 [jamesn]
q+
18:29:28 [carmacleod]
evan: can separate the type of code we require authors to write from the deployed code
18:30:31 [carmacleod]
james: debugging through code would not look the same as source code
18:30:39 [carmacleod]
sarah: can use source maps
18:31:30 [jamesn]
ack me
18:31:33 [carmacleod]
jon: need to be careful that the code that you are seeing is not the code that is executing in the browser
18:31:53 [carmacleod]
s/that/because
18:33:13 [carmacleod]
mck: how much longer will we care about IE11
18:33:37 [Jemma_]
q?
18:34:08 [carmacleod]
mck: people might still be required to produce stuff that works in IE11, and possibly not our job to show them how to support it
18:34:33 [carmacleod]
zoe: that boils down to "how many people use AT that only supports IE11"
18:34:51 [carmacleod]
mck: I am not aware of any AT that only supports IE11
18:35:20 [Jemma_]

18:35:30 [Jemma_]
https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey7/#browsercombos
18:36:15 [Jemma_]
the data is from Oct, 2017
18:36:25 [carmacleod]
mck: we have said that our scope is modern and popular browsers, and we have historically included IE11
18:36:35 [MarkMccarthy]
Maybe once the new WebAIM survey comes out we can get a little bit of a clearer picture, understanding its scope is limited
18:38:06 [carmacleod]
sarah: many microsoft products no longer support IE
18:39:08 [carmacleod]
mck: I would like to move on, but we will bring this up again at the beginning of the year, and we may decide to drop support for IE11 then
18:39:20 [carmacleod]
mck: Next issue: spinbutton in Safari
18:39:41 [carmacleod]
github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1154
18:39:59 [carmacleod]
mck: works with month and day, but not year?
18:40:16 [carmacleod]
mck: is this a bug in the example, or a safari bug?
18:41:27 [carmacleod]
jon: spinbutton doesn't work in vo
18:42:45 [carmacleod]
mck: MacOS safari does work with VO - it just doesn't work with VO commands
18:45:07 [carmacleod]
jon: could use aria-valuetext instead of aria-valuenow
18:45:25 [carmacleod]
mck: need to report VO bug
18:45:36 [carmacleod]
jon: I can look into this
18:45:57 [carmacleod]
TOPIC: open examples in CodePen
18:46:21 [carmacleod]
mck: need someone to do some css, then Jesse Beach will add to all of the examples
18:46:57 [carmacleod]
github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1110
18:47:54 [carmacleod]
zoe: I will make the button pretty
18:48:35 [carmacleod]
TOPIC: Issue 1150 - support warning
18:49:09 [MarkMccarthy]
This widget may have support gaps that can only be filled by the development of new technologies. Authors should fully test this widget before using it for a production ready project. Likewise, it may be poorly supported by certain browsers or assistive technologies.
18:49:13 [carmacleod]
github: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1150
18:49:55 [carmacleod]
mark: wrote it so it can be generically used
18:51:06 [carmacleod]
mck: if it is so general that it doesn't give any idea about what the gaps are, then users won't know if it affects them
18:52:11 [carmacleod]
mck: should we scope this warning to just be mobile, touch screen, or similar?
18:52:47 [carmacleod]
mark: open to making that change if others agree
18:53:11 [carmacleod]
mck: ... assistive technologies offered via touch interaction ... ?
18:53:56 [carmacleod]
mck: do we want to use the word "widget" or "pattern" here? Or "widgets implemented using this pattern"?
18:54:22 [carmacleod]
mck: might depend on context (i.e. does it appear of pattern page or example page)
18:55:20 [carmacleod]
mck: do we need the "Likewise" part?
18:55:21 [Jemma_]
"This widget may have support gaps that can only be filled by the development of new technologies. Authors should fully test this widget before using it for a production ready project. Likewise, it may be poorly supported by certain browsers or assistive technologies."
18:56:15 [Jemma_]
+1 for Matt's comments on the first sentence
18:56:49 [carmacleod]
mck: maybe first sentence and last sentence are redundant?
18:56:53 [Jemma_]
other than this looks great, Mark
18:57:08 [carmacleod]
mck: which examples need this, other than slider?
18:57:18 [Jemma_]
s/than this/than that, this
18:57:56 [carmacleod]
mck: add it to slider first, then duplicate as needed
18:59:00 [MarkMccarthy]
Thanks Jemma
18:59:10 [carmacleod]
mck: new technologies like AOM
19:00:19 [carmacleod]
jemma: "new technologies" sounds vague - maybe we need to specifically include AOM?
19:01:47 [carmacleod]
mck: don't want a dependency on AOM in wording
