Agenda: OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee call for December 15, 2008

Pete Brunet will chair this call. Hopefully Peter will have posted an update of the ODF Accessibility Guidelines for 1.2 by the meeting. Given the time of the year this will be the last meeting for 2008. 

Agenda: OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee call for December 15, 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 Please use our usual (and unpublished) dial-in, and our usual IRC channel: &office-accessibility at irc.oasis-open.org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 1Dec08 meeting http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200812/msg00002.htmll

2. Radio Button Groups Malte, Pete

Rich's proposal to TC: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200811/msg00017.html

Bottom line is ODF overloads form:name to address radio groups. form labels can label individual controls and not groups creating problems. The TC has indicated in their specification that for form:name duplicates form:id essentially creating two unique names and suggested that form:name can be removed.

3. Review Intra-document link proposal from Hiro (attached)

4. Review ODF 1.2 requirements document from Rich (attached). This is an early draft

Rich's post: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200812/msg00015.html

5. Does group agree we should recommend the use of some ARIA concepts (role, live region) properties in the BPG for document components bound to back-end data?

There seemed to be group consensus that we should not add anything to the ODF 1.2 specification at this time. I would like to make this a resolution.

We verified that the live region capability is supported in the ATK/ATSPI and IA2 specifications. This is a WAI-ARIA concept.

6. Accessibility Guidelines Actions and Issues

4.1 Issues to Discuss

- 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?
