[Accessibility-testing] June 18 meeting summary (and homework assignments)

[fur kle]

Q: By MSIE, do you mean Internet Explorer, or do you actually mean Edge? If
the former, what's the version cutoff? 11? 10? 8? More generally, are we
including browser versions in any sense in the matrix?

Thanks,
Claire

• Zarf has a “mostly-complete draft" of Inform’s "Cloak of Access” test
game, per his email to the list on June 17. You can find it at

I would like everyone on this list (and especially the accessibility
experts!) to give this game a whirl and respond with comment. How well does
it present a thorough obstacle course of parser-IF-relevant accessibility
challenges? Please post your thoughts to this list! (Or to Zarf directly,
if that seems more appropriate.)

• Furkle’s work continues on the Twine CoA test game.

• I added the test-platform textfile to the team Dropbox.

        • We agreed to remove the (rather nonsensical!) Windows and Linux
Safari entries, and add entries for MSIE instead.

        • We also agreed that, when the time comes to adapt this list into
a survey for testers to fill out, we should provide an “Other” option. We
don’t want to refuse a tester’s work just because they are most comfortable
in Opera, for example. (And: we might be surprised to learn how many Opera
users there are, e.g.)

• We agreed that the “accessibility conditions” list (the subject of my own
June 18 email to the mailing list) can be short, and cover the
80-perecent-ish of most-common situations (e.g. using a screen reader, or
playing with no sound). On the survey we’ll create for testers, we will
include a free-text area as well.

This obviously needs a lot more development, which I’d like to accomplish
as a team, so I’ll follow up on that mail from yesterday with some more
comments and questions for y’all.

• Next meeting time is set for 6 PM Eastern on Monday, July 2.
