Re: [gallery] Component contribution volunteers

Hi Shadi,

I'm trying to enter some widgets but am running into a problem. If I try to add an item from an author not already present in the author drop-down list there's no way to add that author and that's a required field. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Howard

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
