[Accessibility-ia2] Agenda for FSGA IA2 meeting - Feb 6, 2007

[Michael A Squillace]

Pete:
On the developer guide, is that developer techniques and guidelines for 
implementing IA2 components (ie writing an IA2 COM server from scratch for 
a widget) or is that for folks filling out accessibility properties? 
Either way, a related question is whether or not there will be a distinct 
checklist for IA2? I've brought this up to Brenda and Shannon a number of 
times as well. Currently, RAVEN uses a subset of the software checklist 
but this is clearly inadequate for fully validate an IA2-rich control.
I Would like to discuss with group and would be interested in 
participating in the developer guide..

[Accessibility-ia2] Agenda for FSGA IA2 meeting - Feb 6, 2007







Agenda 
* Introductions 
* Microsoft reviewed the IA2 spec.  Recommendations: 
  - Don't use get_accRole for IA2 roles; add IAccessible2::role 
  - Don't use OBJID_IAAPPLICATION - use QueryService to ask the queried 
object for the object that implements IAApplication 
  - Use IA2Point in IAImage::imagePosition instead of separate x/y 
parameters 
  - Add documentation about the fact that QueryService on an IAccessible 
must be used to get access to the IA2 interface on an IA2 object 
* Janina: Any LF charter text showing support of IA2? 
* Janina: Any thoughts on a math transformation standard and working 
group? 
* Does IAText::attribute need a "math" attribute to mark what text should 
be transformed? 
* IA2 Tool Progress - Michael Stewart 
* No progress on the following: 
  - Bugzilla now has components for IAccessible2 and IA2 Debug Tool 
    * I went through the archives and compiled a list of potential bugs 
and Aaron Leventhal (FireFox accessibility) sent me some more 
    * I will enter these into bugzilla 
  - BZR 
    * I made my first change but can't get it pushed back to the server 
    * Asked support to move branch point down one level from a11yspecs to 
ia2 so we don't get the non-ia2 stuff when checking out 
    * A tree and branch point for the debug tool has been requested 
    * A patch submission process is being developed 
* What else needs to be discussed? 
* What IA2 information do you need? 
* What IA2 issues need resolution soon?  Target date? 
* What would you like to see done? 
  * Directory of Programs - Steve Lee 
    * I have some input for Steve 
  * Developer Guide 
    * This has been started; Pete to organize; who can help? 
      * Sueann Nichols 
  * FAQ 
  * Wikipedia entry? 
  * Others? 

Please send me additional agenda items.
