ack jan
18:20:37 [Zakim]
janina_, you wanted to discuss spacing possibility for tech solution
18:21:16 [LuisG]
janina: some of what we're writing guidance for...we're trying to push some of that forward
18:21:55 [LuisG]
.. there is a CSS taskforce and we're discussing whether we have what we need for a user to define what would work for them
18:22:33 [LuisG]
.. the new one is whether we can manage a different spacing after punctuation; defining what you want after that could be problematic because of things like "i.e."
18:23:01 [LuisG]
.. it seems it should be possible to make it easier to create a configuration that would control that. might not be necessary for Silver to do it if the uses can manage it themselves
18:23:38 [LuisG]
.. some of what we're working on, might want to come up with technical solutions rather than best practices guidance
18:24:03 [LuisG]
js: that's exciting news; but I think this is still important because we're not just talking about web/html technology.
18:24:08 [Chuck]
q+
18:24:17 [LuisG]
.. in VR, people would want to be able to control spacing, etc.
18:24:36 [LuisG]
.. we would still want to include it, but not make it something the author would have to do; maybe something a user agent could do
18:24:50 [CharlesHall]
+1 to Jeanne – still have guidance regardless of the ease of availability of technology solutions
18:25:10 [LuisG]
janina: and using stylesheets never really ended up being something successful for users; the thinking is maybe we can do better at that
18:25:19 [LuisG]
.. the VR and emerging tech is a whole other issue
18:25:39 [LuisG]
js: I've always been a believer in it being a user agent rather than authoring function
18:25:58 [LuisG]
.. it's a good point to maybe not have it as an early success criterion and instead wait
18:26:23 [LuisG]
janina: it brings up questions about what kind of guidance this is? authoring, user agent, or can we create some kind of technological solution; a kind of AT
18:26:35 [jeanne]
q?
18:27:32 [LuisG]
.. since we brought up VR...we had some discussions and got walkthroughs on how some of that stuff is working; we got an understanding of what part of the stack stuff happens on...
18:27:48 [LuisG]
.. I'm wondering how we write guidance for that sort of work; and that's ongoing right now
18:28:13 [LuisG]
js: I didn't find all of that in the minutes
18:28:22 [LuisG]
janina: it's from Friday morning; I'll send them out

18:29:16 [janina_]
charles: Wants to point out we may still need guidance for a particular concern even if we have an emerging tech solution
18:30:02 [janina_]
charles: notes none of the lv in current 2.2 sc? Should we look at these? Or others?
18:30:16 [janina_]
js: We specifically asked for examples that couldn't go into 2.2
18:30:31 [janina_]
charles: Understood
18:30:40 [jeanne]
ack Chuck
18:31:07 [janina_]
chuck: Like janina's suggestions, but all of those might be too much for our fpwd
18:31:24 [janina_]
janina: agree

jenison: asks whether janina proposes beyond current SC?
18:32:55 [janina_]

charles: Is the suggestion for all 5 to be covered in the FPWD?
18:34:27 [janina_]
js: No, likely too many to do well enough for FPWD
18:34:43 [janina_]
js: We are open to volunteers to work on these, though
18:35:04 [janina_]
js: Jan is eager to get COGA related SC wording suitable
18:35:17 [janina_]
js: Anyone from LV willing to help with one of those?

agendum 3. "Issues and Exceptions - continue discussion of minimum or required guidance" taken up [from jeanne]
18:36:38 [CharlesHall]
Charles will start working on Point of Regard
18:37:50 [janina_]
js: Looking at incorporating challenges concepts for FPWD conformance section
18:38:03 [janina_]
pk: Think it would be great either in, or longside
18:38:14 [janina_]
q+ to remind of Explainer
18:38:40 [janina_]
pk: Amazon will work with whoever is interested to make draft suitable
18:39:04 [jeanne]
Prototype of ED -> https://w3c.github.io/silver/prototypes/EdDraftPrototype/
18:39:25 [janina_]
pk: Were it should go should be decided by folks more experienced in AGWG processes
18:40:00 [janina_]
jeanne: Noting a pretty detailed conformance section where these may fit
18:40:43 [janina_]
js; Notes items raised that should be in the issues doc
18:41:02 [Chuck]
q+
18:41:37 [janina_]
pk: Biggest mismatch I see is notion that bronze equates to WCAG 2.1
18:42:16 [janina_]
pk: There being non automatable parts of WCAG 2.x we need to bridge that to the ag model
18:45:06 [janina_]
janina: Expresses concern that defining an equivalence creates more problems than it solves
18:45:24 [janina_]
jeanne: Much discussion on this, but never thought of it as one to one mapping
18:45:51 [janina_]
jeanne: Rather as a way to help people who have made investments into meeting existence guidance some notion of where they stand in the new model
18:46:46 [janina_]
pk: Suggests lang that any site meeting 2.2 is still valid, without actually tieing to a new level
18:46:56 [KimD]
+1 Bronze should not equal 2.x (AA)
18:47:17 [janina_]
pk: Maybe also need to more qualitatively define what we mean by bronze, silver, gold. What's the user experience diff/
18:47:27 [janina_]
s/\/?/
18:47:54 [Chuck]
8th level wizards casts spell of agreement with Peter.
18:48:00 [janina_]
pk: We want to convey the opportunity to keep getting better and better
18:48:03 [CharlesHall]
so do Marvel comics
18:49:11 [jeanne]
+1 to Peter - have a qualitative analysis discussion of what makes bronze, silver and gold levels and beyond.
18:49:22 [janina_]
Luis: There will need to be numbering for correspondance to give people continuity
18:50:04 [janina_]
pk: Think it's more of the user experience than simply not pass/fail test
18:50:24 [janina_]
js: It's time we revisit this conversation. We had it long ago, but not recently
18:52:05 [janina_]
pk: Clearly we need to avoid invalidating 2.x for all who invested in meeting that; but how many actually meet 2.x AA? Beyond the home page? Average was around 47%
18:52:39 [janina_]
pk: Training, tooling and knowledge is what we must not invalidate; more than specific equivalence statements
18:54:23 [janina_]
pk: 4th would be processes -- if an org has a working process around AA, we don't want to invalidate that
18:54:48 [CharlesHall]
process or tools may also include the ACT rules work
18:54:54 [janina_]
js: Asks for examples
18:55:04 [bruce_bailey]
it may be the case that awards less than bronze may be worth including
18:55:24 [janina_]
pk: Thinking of what we do at Amazon, what we did at Oracle, at Sun, they're all based around meeting current WCAG
18:55:37 [MichaelC]
q+
18:55:44 [janina_]
pk: These become internal processes with defined steps
18:56:08 [janina_]
pk: We don't want to tell people you need to change all your ways of working
18:56:09 [bruce_bailey]
at AccessU, Eric mentioned that quote wood metals unquote are actual prizes
18:56:23 [janina_]
pk: Silver should preserve institutional knowledge and tooling

mc: Supports not invalidating
19:01:44 [janina_]
mc: But needs to make Silver different from WCAG 2
19:01:58 [janina_]
mc: Meanwhile, WCAG 2.x should remain valid for some extended period of time
19:02:23 [janina_]
mc: Don't want to force change; we need a balance
