Note, we do a periodic review if there are any issues or processes that members are finding hard. However please bring them up as soon as they occur so we can address them.


Needed from issues done or rejected

  • move appendix 1 to before user stories, or references it (issue 13 from EO)
  • Review Objective text: (betsy) Some Objectives in the Design Guide have text eg Obj 1 and others have none eg Obj 2. They should all have text to expand on Objective outlines in the Summary section and help to to understand the broad "Themes" before diving into the Pattern details. (Steve)
  • Various - add and clear up examples
  • roy/michael take out word patterns and user need from table of content (only change heading : "Patterns for Objective 4": Help Users Avoid Mistakes or Correct Them followed by headings with out the t OR "userneeds for Objective 4"
  • Ensure Patterns agree with proposed WCAG 2.2 SCs: ie Accessible Authentication, Findable Help, Hidden Controls & Redundant Entry. Maybe wait till they are accepted? - they have different scope . also AG is not yet ready


discuss

  • (editorial review) Should we merge two of the login patterns: possibly both "Allow the User a Simple, Single Step, Login" and "Provide a Login Alternative with Less Words" could be merged into variations of "Use a simplified login". (Steve)
    • Editors: they are different. many people can do one but not both. essential services should do both!
  • Possible new pattern - explain why a question is asked: personally I often want to know why a question is being asked in a multistep process and if it will impact that process or something else? I recently use something which told me why some questions were asked. That removes uncertainty/stress. Is this a common coga pattern or just me? Or Perhaps its covered by 'Provide Help for Forms and Non-standard Controls' (Steve)
**- Editors and steve agree needs more research
  • * Provide Help and Alternative Content for Complex Information and Tasks - editorial "help" is not really covered at all
    • - need more info

Other issues

  • Review Objective 'Support Adaptation and Personalization' as considerable complexity in content provision vs AT etc etc. Not clear what devs can do.
    • editors: we feel that new summary and patterns define this
  • Let Users Control When the Content Changes - user need is inappropriate
    • editors: checked - add word moves to patter?

Review fragment ids: (eg the 'summary' in the URI 'https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/#summary') There are a number of issues here but in short where they have been manually defined in the source some seem to be incorrect. It might be better to leave blank so are auto generated by reSpec - requires Editorial Discussion (Steve)

    • Lisa:should be done before publication by roy

Proposed actions for after November
