Agenda for September 18, 2017

New ARIA Task Force Tools

Now that we are officially a task force, we have a new mailing list, public-aria-practices@w3.org. Let's discuss if we want to make any operational changes.

3Q17 Milestone Health Check

Milestone Goals:

  1. Combobox: Write pattern and implement both a 1.0 and 1.1 style example with a listbox popup.
  2. Multithumb slider: Update pattern and implement an example.
  3. Window splitter: Update pattern and implement an example.
  4. June 28 publication feedback: Triage issues; resolve any targeted for this milestone based on urgency.

Do we need to remove or add anything?

VNU Checking During CI Build

Combobox Pattern

Discussion questions:

  1. Does the description omit any important features?
  2. Does the description adequately address the listbox/select/combo distinction?
  3. The description intentionally avoids the inherrantly confusing term "read-only combobox" to refer to a combobox restricted to a predefined set of values. Does the approach work?
  4. Is the note about the ARIA 1.0 pattern adequate?
  5. The keyboard interaction currently includes all single-line textbox keys partly because we do not have a textbox pattern. Should we keep it this way?
  6. Is the proposed structure for the keyboard section good?

Examples of ARIA 1.1 Combobox with Listbox Popup

Notes and questions:

  1. We've worked only on the example code; the supporting documentation is not yet started.
  2. Should the different types of autocomplete all be on one page or broken out to multiple pages?
  3. Open issue to discuss with browser and screen reader devs: How should labeling be done? Should we allow the textbox and popup to have distinct labels? For example, "Fruits and Vegetables" on textbox and "Suggested Fruits and Vegetables" on the popup?
