Heya Anna Belle, Andrew, and Howard! Eric the slacker is out on vacation, so I'm jumping in for him... As you know we're just about to finalize the QuickRef (fingers crossed) and need to get back to this work pretty quickly -- we really need your data entries to help design the gallery interface around a real dataset! As Eric mentioned, we need ~50-60 entries for the initial dataset to be useful. This means ~15-20 entries per person. Maybe best that each one of you takes one category like "templates", "widgets", or "frameworks", so that you don't overlap. In addition to the resources that Eric sent, I also came across these to help you get kick-started: - http://whatsock.com/tsg/ - http://heydonworks.com/practical_aria_examples/ - http://w3c.github.io/aria-in-html/ We need your input *before Monday 22 February 2016* (whatever your time zone is) -- please let us know if you will not be able to complete your work by then, as this is getting really urgent now. Also let me know if you have any troubles or questions. And thanks again for all your work! Best, Shadi On 1.2.2016 13:12, Eric Eggert wrote: > Hi all, > > I guess you had a chance to take a look.
