Accessibility WG Teleconference Minutes 03-15-12

Attendees

The OAE review was supposed to take off a few weeks ago, but no one could make it to the meeting.
The official kickoff was last week to start testing.
The goal is to review the high priority functional areas. The functions may be evolving over time.
In OAE, there are no specific tools. Instead, the accessibility review will be done according to functional areas.
There is a little over a month to get the review done.

Version 1.2 is still in flux. Until they have set down a release, testing won't be possible.
Tool testing results would vary from day to day.
The Server would have to be refreshed with each new update, and data would then need to be renewed.
Work done the previous day might get lost as a result.

A review is important because there is no information available about the accessibility OAE.
Apparently one university got a report from an outside organization on whether or not OAE was accessible, but that is all the information Joe has at the moment.
A request was submitted at the end of January for an accessibility review of OAE. Brian Richwine received this request.

there are 120 functional areas, but they can't all be covered due to lack of resources.
Joe is about two walkthrough scripts away from finalizing the ones he already created.
There are 15 high functioning areas where walkthrough scripts aren't created.
There are about 30 high functioning walkthrough scripts.

Donna would be willing to test with the Mac using Voiceover.
She will start with JAWS first in order to get a baseline, and then use Voiceover.
8 walkthroughs are done. Joe hopes to have 10-15 done next week at least in draft form.
April 14 is the deadline for testing, since Joe will be out of town starting April 20, and the results need to be finalized by that time.
