Update on Accessibility 360 issue tracking

@Harsh Parekh

@Michael Tribone

  • Update on Accessibility 360 issue mapping to Hyrax issues.

  • For past few weeks, Harsh and Michael have been reviewing report, creating a spreadsheet, and mapping everything reported to new or existing GitHub issues.

  • Goal: clean up / identify which issues actually still apply.

  • Next steps: take reports / findings to Steve.

  • Blockers have already been addressed, so remaining issues will be worked on as possible.

  • Might use this as an organizing document / roadmap for accessibility.

  • Maybe UXIG / repo-managers could do something similar with UX issue labels? Need to check in on status of those labels.

 

Update on Collections nested forms to AJAX work

@Adam J. Arling

  • Will shed some light on a recent pattern for removing nested forms.

  • Want to identify/eliminate nested forms throughout Hyrax - this is illegal in HTML. Competing form scopes lead to erratic behavior.

  • Style guides, best practices, pattern library might help head this off. Would reduce proliferation of anti-patterns.

  • Adam has been eliminating Rails form submission in favor of asynchronous Java / AJAX (locally).

 

Update on next round DURT testing / timing / team composition

@nik.dragovic

  • General update on next round of DURT testing.

 

Style Guide examples:

  • Oregon Digital's Style Guide planning utilizing Huge

  • Northwestern's Global Marketing Style Guide

@David McCallum
@Adam J. Arling

  • Overview on an institutional style guide examples.

  • Oregon Digital is upgrading this year. Thinking much about accessibility, want to make sure they maintain conformity. UXIG is potentially the "owner" of accessibility for Samvera.

  • Dave is working on three style guides at once. Doing some research into reducing them.

  • Huge, Inc. hosts free resources for creating style guides"
