Technique updates

Happy Thanksgiving to our US colleagues,

For those not celebrating, we have 5 new techniques ready for the group’s review: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/TechniquesforApproval/


These will be in the agenda for next week, but I’m was endeavouring to get the survey ready before that.

That clears out our backlog of techniques, so from TPAC I was just reviewing the list of the priority techniques [1] and seeing who volunteered for what:

  *   Kathy: Using a control to allow access to content in different orientations which is otherwise restricted
  *   Andrew: Failure due to preventing orientation changes
  *   Jake: Failure due to showing a message telling the user to reorient their device (door slam)
  *   Alastair: Contrasting colors between graphical objects (TBD)
  *   David: Losing content when text styles are modified. (box doesn't resize)
  *   Detlev: Make content on hover or focus hoverable, dismissable and persistant
  *   Patrick: 4 techniques under Concurrent input.

Jake, Laura, Mike & Detlev had cleared some or all of  theirs.

That was the top priority ones, but there are others under Non-text contrast and Character key shortcuts that could do with filling in…

Let me know off list of any updates to the spreadsheet, e.g. assigning/un-assigning people.

Thanks & happy holidays (for some),

-Alastair
