In thinking about this further, I have to agree. It seems that there is no way of doing this that doesn't inadvertently promote a product, while at the same time denying others, which is a slippery slope down to exclusivity and discrimination even if not intended.

As our work on the APG is progressing and the number of examples needed to express the various ways of implementing each pattern is growing, I am increasingly seeing how important this decision is. For example, it is also preventing the APG from becoming bloated and difficult to consume. Further, the working group is taking responsibility for maintaining these examples, so including multiple flavors of a single pattern that differ only in their dependency trees is not a recipe for sustainability. There are lots of other places where developers of various JS libs can host/share/promote their various implementations of what is recommended in the APG. I encourage widget developers to seek feedback on their implementation of best practice. But, I don't think we should add examples that have dependencies on external js libs to the APG.

He is very interested in getting the feedback of the group on the keyboard model and aria roles that could be used for the calendar widget since it is under active development and is an entirely new code base from the current publicly available JQuery-UI date picker widget. When I mentioned potentially using an accessible version of the calendar widget as an example in the APG he seemed to be honored by the idea, but I will double check with him.

Good question Bryan, and I'll also add that the W3C should ensure we have JQuery's permission (or at least awareness) before using their code as examples in our documentation. While JQuery is licensed under the MIT License (https://jquery.org/license/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jquery.org_license_&d=BQMFAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=REZD8fc2AwufInstfW3L5jSLVS8bjZtAodDOhat7yAI&m=H5drAB_Gs9ORcDNoU7cKmncI1Qtc0gqwXzWMectXhxI&s=Ti5G_AO17GWIk8MX7yNM-prmWZhs8UeCyoG9Wh5vYVE&e=>) it seems it would be, if nothing else, *polite* to have that discussion to let them know of our intent, and steps MUST be taken (if we do this) to respect the MIT license, including providing the original copyright and license notice in any copy of the software/source we use.

They know it is not accessible now, but would like design specifications on what they should do. I will take the APA groups comments and enter them in to the design wiki so they know what to do.

I did a quick test with JAWS and NVDA in Firefox. I am not sure where focus is going on tab, but tabing through is completely silent with both. It is not possible to close the window with the keyboard; the JS is eating all keys. The grid markup looks decent, but the grids need to be labeled. The button markup in the grid is good. I am happy to give it another go when you have some fixes.
