Community Group Meeting Agenda

Running tests

Matt: is anyone else available to do select-only combobox? on nvda with firefox?

Matt: want to have test plans tested for sitetech global

Matt: before sitetech global we might even add more test plans to the queue, but in the interim, we'd like to at least get these 4 added to the reports page

JoeHumbert: i can do additional select-only combobox

Matt: we also want to save a bit of time to be able to fix conflicts before publishing

Matt: John is signed up for a number of tests and has made a lot of progress

Matt: in future weeks, we'll keep checking in and as we get multiple results for a single plan we can discuss issues and resolve.

Hadi: I sent some feedback over email to the mailing list.

James: We need to update test plan instructions to reference the fact that there is no longer an automatic setup script. i can look into this

Michael Fairchild: i have a question: how do i view test plans without ARIA-AT App? homepage link was broken

James: link is https://w3c.github.io/aria-at/build/

Matt: we will fix homepage link

Sitetech Global

Matt: happy to announce that we will present at Sitetech Global on December 1 and 2

Matt: we will have a keynote presentation that will include me and michael fairchild as co-chairs of this CG group and my manager representing facebook (as sponsor)

Matt: we will have other sessions as well and a video trailer that will be about 4 minutes that we can share

Matt: sessions will be moderated by chancey fleet

<Matt_King> project for app update: https://github.com/w3c/aria-at-app/projects/1

Matt: we will soon have public view of test queue and test runner

Matt: also have a disclaimer that we will publish, that says that published report data is unapproved because it is still in candidate phase

Matt: also a number of accessibility fixes

Matt: still working on updates to the homepage copy

Matt: PAC is working on a page with metrics that shares more data about our coverage of APG

raising issues in reports & new issue template

James: 1. can we change title to just "Feedback: <Issue>"

James: 2. i'd also like to know which plan and which test it's in, right near the top

James: "Feedback: Navigate to a list... (Test Plan Name, #5)"

Matt: can we make template more clear?

Jon: i feel like description should be first since people want to start typing at the top

Matt: maybe we need the words "describe your issue here"... do we need a prompt that stays as a header? or placeholder text that users would replace?

Jon: just moving description to the top would help

Matt: level 4 headings make it easier to skip to comments

James: let's add HTML comment so it doesn't get rendered with instructions to not modify below certain line

Matt: Heading "Describe the problem"

Matt: let's save form idea for after this, but we should look into it in the future as an opportunity

James: here's an example:
