agendum 3 -- Priority issues -- taken up [from Wilco]
13:22:17 [Will_C]
Wilco: This is a new agenda item
13:22:23 [Wilco]
https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3APriority
13:22:26 [Will_C]
Wilco: may need to recur
13:22:56 [Will_C]
Wilco: Last week, talked about an implimenter skipping cerain test cases
13:23:03 [Will_C]
Wilco: don't want that for the future
13:23:34 [Will_C]
Wilco: Some of these issues have been open for 2 years
13:23:57 [Will_C]
Wilco: in addition to other work. It's important that we don't have known issues
13:24:19 [Will_C]
Will: what's the level of expertise?
13:24:28 [Will_C]
Wilco: most are fairly technical
13:25:30 [Will_C]
Helen: I would like to take one - volunteering for 1810
13:25:45 [Will_C]
Wilco: This one is more of a discussion
13:25:51 [Will_C]
Wilco: lets have it now
13:27:41 [Will_C]
Wilco: issue with treeitems. Aria isn't the rule, it's 1.3.1 and should be a failure. Semantically it's wrong. and leads to unpredictable results
13:28:30 [Will_C]
Wilco: when you have different roles under a menu, the styling will look very weird
13:29:17 [Will_C]
Will: wouldn't this fail 'certain children'?
13:29:39 [Will_C]
Wilco: Yes and no, and you can argue that. But you could change treeitem to button
13:30:26 [Will_C]
Helen: this is an inferred rule. So this is assumed knowledge. B/c it's not within the spec, it's ok. That's what he's saying.
13:30:53 [Will_C]
Wilco: double problem of a bad thing to put in a menu and also missing parent
13:31:29 [Will_C]
Wilco: Do we think this fails 1.3.1?
13:34:12 [Will_C]
WIll: fails
13:34:40 [Will_C]
Kathy: not familiar enough, but in the behavior between menu item and tree item.
13:35:00 [Helen]
My search for the definition got this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/treeitem_role
13:36:16 [Will_C]
Wilco: Think there is a major protential for 1.3.1 issue
13:36:49 [Will_C]
Helen: some properties may not trickle down when there is a missing parent. Lacking tree role may mean that expand/collapse is not inherited
13:37:21 [Will_C]
Kathy: Would putting a tree inside a menu affect the expand/collapse?
13:37:35 [Will_C]
Wilco: Assign this to Kathy for a little bit of testing.
13:37:54 [Will_C]
Helen: picking up my marbles and leaving
13:38:35 [Will_C]
Wilco: #1172 - can someone do a little testing?
13:38:48 [Rachael]
Rachael has joined #wcag-act
13:38:57 [Will_C]
Wilco: if you have a lang attribute and an xm lang is empty, what scenarios might cause a problem?
13:38:58 [Rachael]
present+
13:39:51 [Will_C]
Wilco: need to make sure that it defaults back to HTML lang if there is xml that is missing a lang
13:40:08 [Will_C]
Wilco: just need some testing. ANyone? Anyone? Bueller.
13:40:29 [Will_C]
WIll: I will heroically take it on
13:40:36 [Will_C]

agendum 4 -- "Optional" accessibility requirements -- taken up [from Wilco]
13:40:51 [Will_C]
WIlco: This is kathy's
13:42:15 [Will_C]
Kathy: We talked about last week how we can allow implementers to map to SCs in certain situations when the rule might not be a primary rule. Like a AAA rule written for a AA criterion
13:42:49 [Will_C]
Kathy: Our rules format requires that we must list the SCs that fail in our rules.
13:43:05 [CarlosD]
CarlosD has joined #wcag-act
13:43:26 [Will_C]
Kathy: Atomic rules might not fail because there are separate conditions that need to be checked and it's only checking one condition in this SC
13:43:58 [Will_C]
Kathy: Here is an example where I've tried to make some edits
13:45:12 [Will_C]
Kathy: Header section, no changes, but under there, I have changed it to 'mapping conformance requirement' which is a mapping of SCs that may apply. adding bits about when the outcomes have passed
13:46:11 [Will_C]
Kathy: Making the listing of an SC in a rule narrower in scope, to satisfy the conditinos when it has passed. THis removes the AAA SCs, and moves them to a new section called 'Requirements (optional)'
13:46:28 [Will_C]
Kathy: 4.4.2 is for supplemental, related, etc...
13:47:09 [Will_C]
Kathy: 4.4.2 allows for further testing when the outcome is failed. But also allows AA SCs to pass, and creating a section for further testing
13:49:34 [Will_C]
Wilco: Has opinions
13:50:28 [Will_C]
Helen: One Q - the more that can be picked up programmatically vs, manual, should the further testing be for manual? Since machines don't get nuance
13:51:06 [Will_C]
Helen: Is this more for the black and white rules?
13:51:40 [Will_C]
Kathy: 'Further testing is needed' is for times when there's going to be another rule that really determines whether the SC should be considered not satisfied
13:54:40 [Will_C]
Wilco: THe reason we put that in there was the thought that rules are tech specific. We can't prove we tested everything.
13:55:17 [Will_C]
Wilco: There are always ways rules can fail. Pretty much never happens that rules can tell you it passed
13:56:20 [Will_C]
Kathy: I see that. I originally had left 'or further testing is needed' in. but it gets more wordy.
13:56:40 [Will_C]
Wilco: Britney joined early.
13:57:08 [Will_C]
Wilco: let's wrap this up? Should we put this into a PR
13:57:14 [Will_C]
Kathy: I can do that
13:57:56 [Will_C]
WIlco: next week, Surveys are due today. Please look at the rule sheet and fill out where your name isnt
13:58:23 [Will_C]
WIlco: I'm out next weekend but you know I'll join anyway
13:58:33 [Will_C]
Helen: I am bad
13:58:42 [Will_C]
Wilco: wrapping.
