Agenda: OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee call for November 30, 2008, Monday at 7am PT / 9am CT / 10am ET / 4pm CET / 12 (midnight Mon-Tues) Japan time. Please use our usual (and unpublished) dial-in, and our usual IRC channel: &office-accessibility at irc.oasis-open.org

Agenda:

1. Approval of minutes from 10Nov08 meeting http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200811/msg00014.html

2. Wrap up on best practices for radio button groups - Pete Brunet, Malte to lead discussion

There are two tags providing labeling: 1)form:frame and 2) form:fixed-text. In the

latter case, i.e. static text is labeling a group of buttons (rather

than the buttons being groups in a form:frame, would you be able to

implement an accessible hierarchy (including the proper relations) for a

button group?

3. Specification related Issues: 

- ACTION: Hiro to post clearly marking whether links are local as an issue to our list and the TC list.

- Use of ARIA concepts to assist ATs in processing dynamic content through added meta data

- Live Regions

   - ACTION: Peter to figure out live region exposure in ATK/AT-SPI for use in client apps.

   - ISSUE: Should we include live region capabilities and how should we render these? 

- Issue: Should the role attribute be included as part of standard meta data

4. Accessibility Guidelines Actions and Issues

4.1 Issues to Discuss 

- Janina to clarify text in section 3.4. Was this sent to Peter?

- Janina to modify accessibility guidelines to state how common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.) should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would indicate whether something were a Boolean, Gregorian date, etc.

- Malte: Provide input on charts backed by disjoint cells:

How does (or how will) OpenOffice provide access to charts backed by disjoint cell ranges either in a single or multiple tables? If this case be done today, what are the examples?
