Agenda check-in

New meeting cadence and slack channel

Jem: We are talking about having a biweekly meeting, and we've set up a new slack channel in the W3C Community slack

Jem: You can join the workspace and then we can start inviting you to the channel

<Jem> https://forms.gle/B8XgtZZGppnEWXr68

Jem: I created a google form to collect answers for the biweekly meeting

Jem: Several options, times, and week days

Daniel: If we are going to keep this time, I'd request that we pick the other week, the one that doesn't intercept with my WAI Team meeting

Matt_King: We should add other days that are missing
… Monday, Tuesday, Friday, 11, 12, 1, and 2

Matt_King: We could do 9, 10, 11, others are late in Europe
… Do we want to run this poll now or we could extend it through the holiday?

Matt_King: We could open the poll right now and close it before the meeting on the 6th, then discuss options

Daniel: 6 Jan should be fine, WAI starts 13 Jan

Matt_King: If we are to keep this time we can start the biweekly session 20 Jan onwards

Publication planning

<Jem> 2025-12-17 December 2025 APG publication Milestone

<Jem> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/milestone/40

Matt_King: Two items pending. Adam, thanks for your review on John's PR
… We'd requested Adam, Siri, and Ari for review. Ari or Siri, could you please review?

Ari: Seems to be working well in android
… I could take a look today

3372 List box example with aria actions

Github: w3c/aria-practices#3372

Matt_King: Couple of things to fix
… Checks failing

CurtBellew: I took a look at this. Can we run these locally?

Matt_King: Somewhere on the wiki there are instructions for that

jongund: npm instll, and then run regression, and then you give the path to the test you want to run

CurtBellew: I'll go through the wiki

Matt_King: I am unsure about check example coverage

<CurtBellew> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/wiki/APG-Infrastructure

<Jem> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/wiki/Regression-Tests-for-APG-Example-Pages

Jem: We wrote docs about regression tests

JoeLamyman: I can review the docs

<Jem> Joe lamyman

Matt_King: We have documentation in the repo readme and it points to other places in the wiki
… It'd be good for the readme to act as a good starting point for all the rest

JoeLamyman: Sounds great

<Jem> Joe may be help with reviewing the regression test for apg example pages, https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/wiki/Regression-Tests-for-APG-Example-Pages

Jem: I'll create the issue and assign it to you

Matt_King: If we are publishing next week we should have people reviewing it next week
… Code review, functional review, visual design review

JoeLamyman: Is there documentation about review process?

<Jem> here is the review process

<Jem> https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/wiki/Pull-Request-Review-Process

Matt_King: We have standard markup for a PR review, each step of the process includes a link to each step of the review
… If you want to do code review I can put your name on that

JoeLamyman: Sounds good, I can do it

Ari: I could help review too

PR 3386: Update APG support tables

Matt_King: Jon, if you could do the newer ones especially for the accordeion. There should be a heading with AT support tables underneath.
… Click the buttons and make sure it goes to the right place

Jem: This is an APG pattern website. The AT support data comes from the ARIA-AT project
… We need to make sure that the data goes to the right place and that it's accurate

Matt_King: Ari, you'll be doing the first eight

jongund: From the PR?

Matt_King: Yes, production is not showing them at all. We change the structure on the ARIA-AT repo

PR 3387: Guidance on focusability of disabled controls

Matt_King: I'll review this one, Adam is not here today
… Not enough time to go over these other two today
