three prs for this milestone.

PR 2991 - Add High Contrast Practice

ari fixed the preview error!

arie: it was formatting stuff.

mck: we need people to review the modification for apg site.
… some images were added to the build process.

mck: added the tile of supporting high contrast setting, introduction of the doc

mck: added the clear position of the APG with "Some people with visual disabilities using the web need more than the required default minimum color contrast to perceive content"

<SIri> Can you share link to preview or bug?

mck: added table caption and added OS as the list.

https://deploy-preview-315--aria-practices.netlify.app/aria/apg/practices/high-contrast/

mck: do we need to add linux to the list?

mck: do we want to add the browser dependeny info?

jon: maintain and updating the current doc will be challenging.

mck: would it be possble to link each os list to the actual documentation of the feature?

mck: 20% of ios user uses the color contrast feature according to facebook data.

jon: the caption does not look like the heading.

mck: talking about updating the css for the caption tag.

jon: APG only support the forced color for now.

<SIri> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-color-contrast-in-windows-fedc744c-90ac-69df-aed5-c8a90125e696

mck: Do we have any guidance for the authors?
… for example, we can share that there are different options for color contrast. we can also share the info about different or incompatible combination of color contrast features.

one example by Jon is button text color.

mck: one thing we need to be careful is not too much presecriptive.

Jon: The problem with the current color makes our example fragile because we don't set the background color. Adjusting system color can be more reliable.

Ari: we use white theme as the default.

Jon: are those based on the preferred color theme media library?

Ari: I see the example with preferred color theme.

jon: we can set the light or dark theme in the media query and the browser does adjustments.
… wikipedia exmaple is using prefers-color-theme

jon: forced color is the complex.

Issue 3142 - Tabs example feedback

jon: we dont' make tab pannel focusable.

mck: we have the focusable tab panel. https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/tabs/examples/tabs-automatic/

<jongund> https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/tabs/

mck: it would be great idea to add some info regarding the difference between two examples. - focusable tab pannel.

github:w3c/aria-practices#3142

it would be a great idea to add some info to distinguish two examples and to address the raised issue - focusable tab pannel info to be added.
