DRAFT Minutes from meeting on February 28th, 2025

Attendance (possibly incomplete, feel free to edit): Mike Gower, Alastair Campbell, Gundula Niemann, Patrick Lauke, Giacomo Petri, Francis Storr, Lori Oakley, Dan Bjorge, Scott O'Hara

Regrets: Bruce Bailey

Sent for approval

• #4055 (Reflow) - seemingly no unresolved threads, currently

For discussion

• #4195 (Moving H28 from Sufficient to Advisory) - Mike added a paragraph to explain why it's moved
  • Patrick further replaced Mike's q with blockquote

Drafted

• Mike created #4242 which supersedes the remainder of #3662 (lowercase web, etc.), for informative docs
• Mike created #4212 to address the very long #3984 thread
  • Compare with #4036 and #4096?
• #4252 (definition of "component") - Mike drafted a response, enumerated where the word is used
  • Potential overlap with / segue into #4250 by Francis
  • Francis to take a look at #4252 from that angle
• #1017 - may conflate a 2.1.1 failure with 3.2.2
  • Does it actually fail 2.1.1, or is it technically a malicious compliance loophole?
  • Patrick suggested in original issue #898 to alter the example to avoid the hairball to begin with
  • Maybe also add a related example that clearly fails 2.1.1
• #4251 - editorial, non-controversial
• #4166 - reviewed; move to ready for approval
• #4247 - Eric changes "session" to "process" to avoid technical ambiguity with other meanings of "session"
  • Mike suggested "procedure"
  • Group suggests "activity"
• #4255 - Removing broken "hidden barriers" link
• #4248 - Amends a relative link pointing from techniques to understanding/img/, consistent with another existing instance
• #1016 - PR probably doing more than necessary to address original issue; may be opening a new can of worms

In progress

• #4241 - figcaption styling
  • Patrick may set up a codepen to test options
  • Interestingly, WAI's own figcaption examples in their design components repo are not getting the same styles that the informative docs are inheriting
