remove aria-wg-active.md and aria-wg-participants.md ?

[spectranaut]

Maybe follow up to @pkra's work here: https://github.com/w3c/aria-common/issues/103

I don't think I understand the purpose of either of these two files:

• aria-wg-active.md
• aria-wg-participants.md

The "aria working group active" is still pulled into the editors draft, and contains out of date information: https://w3c.github.io/aria/#ack_group

Can we delete these files, and delete this section or auto generate it, or generate it only when publishing?

This was discussed in this week's meeting. @daniel-montalvo will look to see if there's an w3c API we can use to regularly update the active participants list.

W3C has indeed a new API for this.

w3c/aria#2117 shows how we could do this.

I'd suggest not to automate enabling funders as this will depend on Team efforts and other funded related stuff. Still fairly manual.

As I wrote on https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2117 I think we can adopt this immediately since the new script is separate from aria.js.

I also noticed that some specs don't have the list of members (e.g., html-aam). I recall that a while back we talked about perhaps only having the full WG list on just the ARIA spec.

In any case, I'll adjust the top card to track the various specs.

Work is now on W3c/aria-common#111

111 is merged. As per today's meeting, it's time to create the downstream PRs to roll things out.
