Minutes
Title Rule 2: H1 content should match part of the TITLE content
JG: We removed this rule from both rulesets. It becomes overly complex when there are more than two H1s on a page.
Using GitHub for issue tracking
JG: https://github.com/opena11y/oaa-rules
NH: Will add instructions for adding issues in the README.md file for oaa-rules repo
JG: Will start documenting how to run your own FAE 2.0 installation on your server
TW: Interested in running FAE at Iowa; will need to find support staff to facilitate this
MJ: May be able to run FAE 2.0 at IBM; we need to discuss with Ann also
Skip navigation rule
JG: We need a rule for skip navigation
MJ: At IBM we still have situations where skip nav is requested; we mainly recommend landmarks, but for older browsers it becomes appropriate
TW: Not sure if skip nav. rule should be required in the age of landmarks
NH: Does this rule have to be a manual check, or is there a way to have an automated rule?
TW: Does the first internal link in the document link to a valid anchor?
JG: Do you recommend that they use #main for target?
TW: I think that is a common pattern.
JG: If we find that first link does link to #main, the rule passes; otherwise, it's a manual check?
JG: Some people have multiple skip links
MJ: Have encountered this -- seems useful
JG: If first link on page is to an external resource, is that a failure?
JG: Is there any condition for which we would fail people?
TW: I don't think you can require the string "main"
JG: Is there a way for people to pass an automated test?
MJ, NH: It depends on where you skip to whether the link has the required utility
ALL: Consensus is that this always has to be a manual check.
Next meeting: Friday, 13 Feb 2015
JG: Next Friday, would like to discuss goals for the next version of the rulesets
JG: Todd and Marc, would you have time to provide some feedback on 3 or 4 rules, especially on messaging?
JG: ... possibly on a weekly basis
JG: We are planning on building an online rule editor application for maintenance of rule messaging
JG: We haven't established a timeline for this yet.
JG: We hope to be releasing new versions of the tools next week; will send out links when available.
