Agenda:

Sakai 12 Schedule, delayed (new schedule being developed) - several reasons for new schedule. One is that many institutions are upgrading to 11 this year, nobody planning to upgrade to 12. 

rA11y Update https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/2ACC/rA11y+Plan

We're making progress on remediating issues from the first review.  More than 2/3 of the issues are resolved in some way.

We have a slight-less-than $12,000 estimate from SSB to do a follow-up review and issue a compliance statement, presumably with a higher compliance rating than the previous one.  We're about $5,000 towards that goal (thanks to past contributors, and recently Pepperdine) through the Apereo FARM project http://farm.apereo.org/home/current-projects/in-progress/sakai-ra11y

Follow-Up on Offer from NYU for hours from an accessibility/usability firm, TPG.  Looking for a good date.  Confirmed that the topic will be keyboard navigation.  Thursday April 13th at 4:00PM is our current planned date.

JIRAs, with an Illinois State University focus

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-32364        Accessibility block for visually impaired users - iPhone Voice Screen Reader        Recently received steps to reproduce.  Added reference video.  Not clear why ARIA-Label isn't helping us here.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-32173        Accessibility block for visually impaired users - Syllabus        - Talked about it last time.  There are some solutions to consider.

  • Looked at some mitigation options.  Updated the possible instructions for the redirect interface.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-32172        Accessibility block for visually impaired users - Rich Text Editor        Matt Clare        Awaiting Review

  • Talked about CK's role in this.

  • The long menu in Sakai's default of CK's menu is a big part of the problem - currently this can be simplified per inst.

  • Would a user option to only use simple menu help?

To be retested for clarity:
