<scribe> meeting: Review New Style Guide

scribe+ Eric_hind

<julierawe> https://docs.google.com/document/d/18rqamyGgYF1DAUHLhsXmR20FtN9AQSaPc9zpFNN1xgM/edit?pli=1

julierawe: Three inconsistencies in content-usable, guidance in resources about front loading conditional sentences. Another is hyphens; there is an inconsistency in use. Also in the use of slashes.
... Also, need to coordinate the COGA align with WAI style

Eric_hind: Changes could be done by Roy, depending on the type

Julierawe: Best practices for COGA; review of the Summary in doc. Common words, short sentences, active voice, short chunks of text.

Kirkwood: Suggest to adjust the title of Summary to Best Practices; shift Summary up and add a few sentences to match

Julierawe: Capitalization review; web and working group
... Disability Terminology, review of terminologies like ADHD/AD(H)D, cognitive-disabilities related terms, Down Syndrome (capitalization in H1 header). This Section can be built out over time - we can add to this list.

<kirkwood> i take it back, not capitalized

Rashmi: can we add mental health terminology here? Julie, yes, will work with Rashmi .

kirkwood: On going discussion about matching up terms like disability vs. challenge terminology
... Recommend avoiding the term 'challenges'

julierawe: ask Rashmi to bring examples or samples about this kind of terminology to expand upon later

rashmi: should there be instances or using Cognitive disabilities vs. cognitive and learning disabilities?

kirkwood: There might be a country specific leaning for these kinds of terms. Flagged for later as it could be a consideration.

<rashmi> RUIMIN HU, Anne Arundel Community College

<rashmi> JINJUAN HEIDI FENG, Towson University

<rashmi> The abilit

Rashmi: study example, like neurotypical as related to cognitive / disabilities terminology

julierawe: Hyphens, well-being versus wellbeing

Rashmi: should consider hyphens as a potential help or hindrance to searchability

Frankie: We should be checking with industry shifts in terminology such as submenu vs. primary menu

Julierawe: We can also check again published papers, technical docs, etc. as a way to gauge who uses what and how often (for terminology)

kirkwood: May also be worth checking to see the impact of hyphens on searching or search engines. One word, no hyphen, may increase searchability for both.

julierawe: Lets continue to read and review this guide versus WAI style and comment. We may want to consider unifying to the WAI standard.
