Re: [gallery] Component contribution volunteers

Hi all,

I guess you had a chance to take a look. Now let’s get the submissions 
started.

As I stated in the call on Friday, this is very important work that 
feeds into the design and development of the ”Gallery”.

So, there are two tasks for you this week:

1. Search for frameworks, widgets, and templates and submit those to the 
“Gallery”.

2. Send an email to me when there is data that you’d like to enter but 
there is no field for it.

Good places to start are pattern libraries, GitHub[1] (mostly widgets, I 
guess), and theme directories[2] (mostly templates) but you probably 
have other places to look for, including tools you have used or 
considered using[3].

If you can, please make a preliminary accessibility check à la 
EasyChecks.

Best,
Eric


[1] for example: 
https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=accessible+dropdown
[2] for example: https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready/
[3] for me that would be: http://www.yaml.de/
