  • Gonzalo Silverio - University of Michigan

Sakai 2.9 Update

  • the test server is updated to 2.9 beta 1.

  • All information is refreshed.

  • Standard user accounts are there, but the rest has been wiped away.

  • Accessibility WG can do testing in the next two weeks.

Jira Update

  • Brian has not had a chance to file any of the new jiras.

  • Joe will continue this process.

Neoportal

  • Brian wanted to work directly with Gonzalo, but he has not had time.

  • Gonzalo does not know the list of things that Brian had wanted to work on, so Joe will find out and work with Gonzalo.

Forums

  • There have been changes to the Forums tool from 2.8, so the Accessibility WG needs to retest this tool to discover accessible and inaccessible features.

  • Brian has not done any hard research on Moodle, only that there are Moodle demo servers.

  • He will try and do testing on that.

Other Testing

  • Other tools need testing for 2.9 review.

  • Joe will pick these up where Brian left off.

  • Scott started testing the Messaging tool.

  • Scott says there are three others that need to be tested as well. He will update us next meeting.

  • Testing will be ongoing until they put a freeze on the code, or the next release candidate comes out. There is still time.

Sakai OAE

  • Joe received responses to some questions and answers about a full review for Sakai OAE.

  • The plan is to base the structure of of the accessibility review in a similar way to the way 2.9 reviews are being conducted, with some differences.

  • Pages will be set up on the Accessibility WG wiki.

  • Functional areas will be tested instead of tools.

  • Joe will write walkthrough scripts.

  • Joe's goal is to have all the wiki pages and walkthroughs ready by February 23, so the WG can begin testing Sakai OAE 1.1.

  • Joe hopes testing will be done, Jiras entered, and an accessibility statement on the status of OAE on April 20.

  • Joe continues to work on Sakai OAE, along with Gonzalo. They are coming up with guidelines for developers.

  • The guidelines document will be sent to the Accessibility WG and the OAE group. It contains huristics in regards to focus issues and how to add information.

  • It is a set of recommendations having to do with the nature of OAE; it's not a web page but more an application.

  • Joe wants to send that out by January 31.

Collaborative Test Planned for January 31

  • * Two tools will be tested on Tuesday, January 31 at 2 PM.

  • Forums is the highest priority tool that we will test.

  • We will also test Chat. Gonzalo says this should be a lower priority tool, because not many people will be suing it.

  • Joe was thinking of about 30-60 minutes to test the Chat tool.
