90 Minute meeting on Monday to prep for shipping release 2

Hey All,

 

Crunch time . our goal is shipping release 2 this month . or at least having
it ready by end of month. We have quite a few good updates that are done or
almost done and a few bugs left to squash. This is all stuff worth getting
from the editor's draft into the official version.

 

I'd like to extend the meeting on Monday to 90 minutes. The goal is to
resolve open questions on issues we will close in release 2. Reviewing and
catching up on issues ahead of the meeting will help.

 

Following is the status of the 8 remaining open bugs in the release 2
milestone. Please review and chip in where you can. Tomorrow I will send an
update on the new pattern work.

 

396: Navigation Menu Button Examples: Unreachable code in PopupMenuLinks.js 

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/396

Assigned to Jon.

Waiting on pull request from Jon.

 

588: Menu Button Examples: Shift+Tab from menu does not close menu 

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/588

Had a volunteer in Jan; I pinged in the issue in June 12; no response yet.

Need someone to grab the issue and code a fix.

 

451: When focus is in a menubar, shouldn't escape close any open submenus? 

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/451

Need help verifying this problem. I think it is fixed in the editor menubar.
In the navigation menubar, it's hard to test this issue with a screen
reader.

 

592: Navigation Menubar Example: parent menuitems should contain the `menu`
element that contains the items in their submenu 

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/592

Jon made PR with proposed fix. Matt proposed different approach.

Waiting on input from Bryan, then either Matt will decide if he can specify
what's needed from Jon or put it on Monday's agenda.

 

559: ARIA 1.0 Combobox Examples: Escape key does not behave correctly when
focus is in the textbox

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/559

Assigned to Jon.

Waiting on pull request from Jon.

 

568: Keyboard focus styling of radio button examples 

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/568

Assigned to Jon. Evan says changes to CSS in Jon's pr look good. I'd like to
merge before Monday.

Waiting on additional input from either James or Michiel.

 

 

Best,

Matt
