[08:12:56 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> alexn1: on the testing results page you said that the tag section is a focus trap

[08:13:00 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I don't find it to be

[08:13:05 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> what were you seeing?

[08:15:12 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> I was search replacing every "focus black hole" expression with "focus trap" one. Well it is not really a focus trap. Your keyboard focus is lost there for quiet a some time which could be a bit "inconvenient" especially if you want to navigate from the left side of the website to the right one since you have to tab through the Tag section in order to do so.

[08:15:38 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> what do you mean it is lost?

[08:15:39 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> I should rephrase "focus trap" in another words for this particular case

[08:16:22 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> well I do not know how to put it - but you have to tab >30 times to get from the left side of the website to the right one

[08:16:29 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> or around 30 times

[08:16:46 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ah, so you're saying that you want a way to skip over the tag section

[08:16:54 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> yes, that would be an improvement

[08:17:45 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> yes some way of skipping through it.

[08:18:11 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> It is quiet an experience to tab through it IF you do not know how big it is and do not know what to expect next when you tab

[08:18:40 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> for us it is easier since we see it and know what to expect on the next tab. But for visually impaired this process could take a while.

[08:19:48 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> I see Jennison tabbing through a section like that, it is such a time consuming process. If you spend even 1 second to listen to every word it could take approximately half a minute to navigate through this little section of the page

[08:19:53 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> *I saw

[08:27:03 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> alexn1: what does the 'sign up' section read when you give it focus?

[08:28:16 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> michelled: where is this 'sign up' section ?

[08:28:51 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> oh

[08:28:52 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> good question

[08:28:59 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I'm looking at this point: * Sign up section should have more explanation on how to sign up for the screen reader (enter email address and click Sign Up button). Input should have a better ALT something like "Please enter your email address and press enter or press Sign up button in order to sign up for the newsletter".

[08:29:00 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> I know I know !

[08:29:51 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> It is a Newsletter Sign Up section

[08:30:23 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ah

[08:30:37 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> When you tab through it would be better if it has more information on how to do it and what this input for

[08:30:50 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ok, thx

[08:31:21 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> should I go through the list and do some editing on the points I wrote there ?

[09:21:33 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: are you still editing the wiki page?

[09:21:43 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I don't want to write over your changes

[09:21:49 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes, i am, michelled

[09:22:01 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ok, let me know when you're done

[09:22:06 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok

[09:23:31 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> michelled: i'm done with the wiki

[13:49:37 CDT(-0500)] <TheAlphaNerd> hello logiclord !

[13:50:27 CDT(-0500)] <logiclord> Did I missed some fun ?

[13:50:33 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark>

[13:53:06 CDT(-0500)] <TheAlphaNerd> and like the wind he was gone

[13:53:11 CDT(-0500)] <logiclord> yura is on leave today ?

[14:01:46 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> logiclord: yura is at a conference today, he should be back in tomorrow. He may pop up from time to time here today, but i'm not sure

[14:02:06 CDT(-0500)] <logiclord> Justin_o: thanks

[14:02:35 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> logiclord: np

[14:42:39 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: I'm removing things from the the wiki page that alexn1 had already found - in case you're wondering why they are being removed

[14:42:54 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I'm slightly relieved that some things are duplicates

[14:43:11 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ic, michelled

[15:04:33 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac, alexn1, michelled, is any of you editing the wiki page? Can you let me know when you are done? I need a bit of editing.

[15:04:50 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I've got it open - I'll save in a minute and let you know

[15:05:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, go for it

[15:06:23 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thanks, anastasiac

[15:13:54 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac, alexn1, michelled: i'm done with editing

[15:14:03 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> thanks
