2. Showcase Examples with Videos

At this stage, we have finalized the visuals and general tenor of all video scripts. However, there is still some room to refine the narration as long as it does not change the meaning or impact the visuals. That is, only purely editorial, word-smithing, and copy-editing is welcome.

Please review All video scripts (1-10) and add any comments in GitHub as new issues. If you are not comfortable with GitHub, please add your comments below.

Please note specifically the following aspects in your review:

  • Issue 47 - Main point coming through clearly?
  • Issue 41 - Separation between need and want?
  • Issue 109 - Catch (last) phrase catchy enough?

Responder Showcase Examples with Videos
Andrew Arch
Brent Bakken I am pretty happy with the revised narration but suggest you to consider my comment (at the discretion of the Task Force). Suggestion only, not a show stopper - in GitHub or below. Added a comment to Issue 109. Mild comment, okay with group decision.
Eric Eggert I reviewed it and have no comments on the narration!
Shawn Lawton Henry I am pretty happy with the revised narration but suggest you to consider my comment (at the discretion of the Task Force). Suggestion only, not a show stopper - in GitHub or below. I reviewed and commented on the issues linked above.

I did not get to a thorough review of all of the scripts. I'd need more time.
James Green I am pretty happy with the revised narration but suggest you to consider my comment (at the discretion of the Task Force). Suggestion only, not a show stopper - in GitHub or below. I submitted https://github.com/w3c/wai-showcase-examples/pull/121, https://github.com/w3c/wai-showcase-examples/issues/122, and added my thoughts to https://github.com/w3c/wai-showcase-examples/issues/109.
Susan Hewitt I am pretty happy with the revised narration but suggest you to consider my comment (at the discretion of the Task Force). Suggestion only, not a show stopper - in GitHub or below. My comments in Github on Issue 109 are important but I'm not the only one chiming in. I'm sure the TF will consider everyone's comments.
Sharron Rush I do have a *strong* (showstopping) objection and have commented in GitHub or below. Catch phrase must be short, memorable and repeated, don't think we are there yet.
Howard Kramer I reviewed it and have no comments on the narration!

3. Name that showcase with video resource!

summary | by responder | by choice

'Showcase Examples with Video' is what we have used to reference this resource. However, it is more than just video. Consider that this asset is a series of vignettes about the impact and benefits of web accessibility with accompanying text and links to other resources. Please read the resource title discussion in the minutes of 04 March and add your suggestions or ideas in GitHub or below. Feel free to open a new issue or add to the existing issue disussing the resource URL and title: What to link to - issue #8 Thanks!

4. [AUICL]: Accessible UI Components List – Add Themes category

summary | by responder | by choice

Thanks to the volunteers a wide range of UI Components are getting submitted. Thanks for that!

A few questions have come up around the data organization, mainly about where to put Themes for content management systems. Just to recap, currently we have the following three categories (or buckets) to sort UI components into:

  • Widgets
  • Templates
  • Frameworks

Proposal: Add Themes.

Rationale: Themes are tied to CMS solutions. They are more complex than templates which are more static.

Considerations:

  • Some CMS vendors provide theme directories on their own.
  • Some vendors also mark or tag accessible themes in their directories (for example WordPress).
  • Most commercial theme platforms/markets do not mark or feature themes that are accessible.

5. [AUICL]: Accessible UI Components List – Add Snippets or Demos category

summary | by responder | by choice

Regardless of the changes above, there are some other considerations:

What shall we do with small examples of code that are beneficial to learn how to make some specific things accessible. For example, on blog posts and codepen.io there are some nice accessibility approaches that can’t be clearly placed in one of the categories (Widgets, Frameworks, Templates or Themes) in the tool right now.

Proposal: Add a category “Snippets” or “Demos”.

Rationale: Sometimes one just needs a hint or an example to learn how to implement a technique. This category can be useful to find examples and would also lower the barrier for entry as those examples are much easier to create than full-fledged widgets and can also be specific to a certain problem.

6. [AUICL]: Accessible UI Components List – Remove “Templates” category

summary | by responder | by choice

While researching UI Components, it quickly became apparent that there are few that identify themselves as templates. templates are usually part of themes or frameworks nowadays or used as a intermediate deliverable while producing (a theme for) a website

Proposal: Remove “Templates”.

Rationale: Templates seem to sit in-between themes and frameworks but the term seems not to be used often anymore. They are mostly very simple frameworks.

The participation of individuals has been incredibly valuable for the development of the resource. If you haven’t had a chance to look into it, watch this “how to submit” video (password: eowgnow). (I have exported the video with a louder volume.)

Then head over to the Accessible UI Components List and submit a component. You need to login with your W3C account.

Please note below if you have any thoughts or run into any problems while submitting.
