14:05:06 <Fredrik> janina In two weeks, I am proposing, and I have ofered to EPUB that we could do a deep dive on all their specs. I want to narrow the focus to the ones that have elicited concern in the last couple of months, primarily the Fixed Layouts spec.
14:05:27 <Fredrik> janina WE have an alternate direction by way of which Fixed Lzyout can work and get more accessibility.

14:05:58 <Fredrik> janina I am very concerned personally on a personal view that htere is a note from EPUB talking about a11y and FL. The answer is that there are many aspects we consider important t that can't be met in FL.
14:06:09 <Fredrik> janina I am not happy with that and I'm not sure what we are going to do with it.
14:06:17 <Fredrik> janinaWe don't have any control over notes poublished by other WGs.
14:06:18 <Lionel_Wolberger> s/Lzyou/layout
14:06:57 <Fredrik> janina On the 19th, I'm expecting, it is porposed that we could have Gottfried for whom this was an EU concern. We also discovered concerns. And possible ways around it.

14:14:24 <Fredrik> janina: I was speaking for myself concerning EPUB but my sense is that APA would not be far away form what I'm saying.
14:14:53 <Fredrik> Lionel_Wolberger: They have a pressing business case and balancing business against a11y may need some batting around.
14:17:09 <Lionel_Wolberger> scribe+
14:17:52 <Lionel_Wolberger> janina: One concern is with the title of the report, that currently includes the word 'accessibility'

14:21:21 <matatk> subtopic: WCAG 2.0 issue - conformance levels
14:21:31 <PaulG> q+
14:21:39 <Fredrik> Fazio: I discovered that there is a 15 year gaping hole in WCAG 2.0. There has never been a deifnition of what conformance levels are. There is no definitions of what the leevels mean or where conormance criteria belong.
14:21:49 <Fredrik> Fazio: This has caused a lot of issues.
14:22:02 <Fredrik> Fazio: Perhaps we should make mentions of this in an ammended document.
14:22:14 <Fredrik> Fazio: There is a Github issue for this issue.

14:23:12 <Fredrik> PaulG: The thign I've been going through for years based on a W3C graphic is a pyramid, which seems to be rather well-known.
14:23:33 <Fredrik> janina: We're into the details of what it should be in detaill. It needs to be a generally defined thing though.
14:23:45 <Fredrik> PaulG: I read it on a W3C site.
14:23:55 <Fredrik> janina: I've read it, too.
14:24:01 <Fredrik> janina: It needs to be linked directly in the spec.
14:24:17 <Fredrik> matatk: The issue here seems that it is not normative.
14:24:41 <Fredrik> Fazio: It is a n example, not a definition, and defeinitely not normative.

14:25:12 <Fredrik> janina: Our participation as individuals is very welcome on that thread.
14:25:20 <Fredrik> janina: Were we to weigh in, we would need to be very formal about it.
14:25:40 <matatk> subtopic: Epub (part 2) - data vis
14:26:22 <Fredrik> janina: There is a lot of low vision stuff to consider here. I will pign Paul.
14:27:06 <matatk> Data Navigator article (HT Paul): https://www.frank.computer/blog/2023/09/introducing-data-navigator.html
14:27:31 <Fredrik> PaulG: At the lowest level the data navigator approach is to link the objects of a database relization in code, not unlike ARIA in making the associatiosn with the visuals. The system can then rea that and provide a bespoke navigation patern that matches the data visualization because of that linkage. That's the scaffold you have to add to the DV,
14:27:32 <Fredrik> coming provided next to it, and that gives the system the ability to create these on-demand navigation features.
14:27:45 <Fredrik> janina: You can get on-demand fixed layout anad that's default?
14:28:32 <Fredrik> PaulG: That is a use case that I haven't seen a demo of. It should be possible though. Thedata is embedded in HTML. HTML can be altered to respond to reflow. It also responds to media queries. You can specify: when the media is in this shape, landscape, whaetever, then you have these specific featues that the system will provide you the navigation
14:28:33 <Fredrik> for.

14:36:06 <Fredrik> Roy: Comment request.
14:36:22 <Fredrik> Roy: This has somethign to  do with Paul's suggestions on the design document.
14:36:46 <Fredrik> matatk: This was Pauls suggestion on the Privacy Principles.
14:36:57 <Fredrik> PaulG: I didn't write the topic - where'd that come from?

14:38:58 <Fredrik> matatk: What they are saying is that they already have a similar principle in the Design Principles. But we "Jeffrey Yaskin and someone else)... I don't know what the question is...

14:40:24 <Fredrik> PaulG: Mys tatement was that early adopters of this could be fingerprinted by this. They aren't just marked as optin gin or out but they have the opportunity to, which means they are on specific browsers. Their statement is that a web app should be able to distinguish between making the choice or having it by default. They've marked it backburner
14:40:24 <Fredrik> to address it in the next version. I'm fine with that. They have the language. I was asking for it to be a little softer.
14:40:44 <Fredrik> janina: This is a ll wonderful and a great result and unles someone thinks it needs to be handled now, there is no need to dive in deeper.
14:41:15 <Fredrik> matatk: The link was to the a11y issue in the PP repo. The issue I was looking at was in our repo though... (Fredrik is confused)
14:41:38 <Fredrik> matatk: We probably won't need to add "needs resolution" at this point, may e in a couple of months.
14:41:43 <Fredrik> PaulG: Sound good.

14:45:23 <Roy> https://www.w3.org/TR/device-posture/#accessibility-considerations
14:45:25 <Fredrik> Roy: They also have an a11y considerations section.
14:45:35 <Fredrik> mat: I can explain what this is.
14:45:36 <Fredrik> mat: It is actually one of ours.
14:46:10 <Fredrik> matatk: It's about foldables. The screen size changes when you open or close a device which is foldable.
14:46:32 <Fredrik> matatk: It is about giving developers tools to know that an open or close has happened.
14:46:52 <Fredrik> matatk: The MQs tell you the information you need to know.
14:46:58 <matatk> matatk has joined #apa
14:47:12 <Fredrik> janina: I'm noting that this hould be brought up with tthe FL in mind.
14:47:26 <Lionel_Wolberger> PaulG: It already says, "Content shouldn't be designed for just one posture: The idea of foldable devices is their versatility and the ability for the user to change the posture as they see fit. Similarly to the orientation, it is important to not always choose for the user as they might have other needs but allowing them to choose the UI that fits
14:47:26 <Lionel_Wolberger> their needs better. Ideally it is preferred to make the UI configurable."
14:47:40 <Fredrik> matatk: It would be nice for someone other than me to look at this. I'm pretty familiar with it, to say the least.
14:48:40 <Fredrik> janina: Do we nee d to tick a box here?
14:49:15 <Fredrik> Roy: They want us to review the a11y conisderations section.
14:49:29 <Fredrik> janina: I think our response is "Thanks, well done and thanks fo taking up our input so appropirately".
14:49:47 <Fredrik> janina: "Also, its been a pleasure workign with you and please come back with your next spec."

We are proposing a direction that we know we can't agree on on the 19th. It will take a lot more conersation, probably all the way to TPAC and beyond. We're finde with their business case ut hwo they charachtereise
14:55:34 <Fredrik> their document and the implications thereof is our concern.
14:55:43 <Fredrik> janina: I will put all of this to an e-mail that will go to the list.
