Per discussion in WAICC, we still have a couple of items to line up for the announcement. We can deploy ahead of the announcement, but I hope no more than two days before.

We need to deploy this week if we are to have Alex or Howard available to support it in the event something goes sideways.

@alflennik

I would like to include w3c/aria-practices#2558. It appears it is on track for merge in the morning. I am waiting on one more review.

[shawna-slh]

I will hold off on publication, as there are a few things that need to be addressed. I understand we would like to publish today or Wednesday possible.

(ping @daniel-montalvo to see this pull request :-)

Hi @alflennik @mcking65 @a11ydoer @daniel-montalvo I'm not seeing the tables in the preview. Shouldn't one be in https://deploy-preview-210--aria-practices.netlify.app/aria/apg/patterns/button/examples/button/ ?

[alflennik]

@shawna-slh I do see it in the assistive technology support section, it's the last heading on the page, here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

@shawna-slh assuming my comment cleared things up, we are ready to release!

Ah, I was looking for it in the Page Contents box -- and with my configuration, I don't see it:

even when I scroll down:

So that's a separate issue. I'll leave it to you all to create an Issue for that.

[daniel-montalvo]

Hi @alflennik @mcking65 Ideally we can fix https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/2650 soonish.

I would expect these pages to get more traction given the imminent blog announcement. Even if it is not related to AT support tables, it seems to me that having an example that lacks visual focus indication is problematic and can raise some eyebrows. If I am not mistaking, the button examples are one of the four that will have the new tables, so that is yet another reason for people to look specifically at this pages. I would suggest we prioritize this.

[alflennik]

@shawna-slh thank you for sharing the screenshot, I can see that in your setup the page contents navigation box is so tall it's clipping off the bottom of the screen. The part that especially gives me pause is that the links in the box are wrapping so much, for example the "Role, Property, State and Tabindex Attributes" link is wrapped over four lines. I tried a few ways to reproduce this issue, including changing the default text size, but I couldn't get that amount of wrapping to occur.

Looking at your screenshots I can see that there might be some custom css styles applied to the site. Would you mind checking if the issue still occurs without the styles present? Also would it be possible to let me know what your default text size is?

[alflennik]

Hi @daniel-montalvo, thank you for emphasizing the importance of the button focus issue, I agree that it's an eyebrow raiser. I opened a PR here: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/2673 and, pending review, the fix should be in the next release.

[mcking65]

@alflennik, with w3c/aria-practices#2673 merged, should we try to include it in this PR before the publication?

[alflennik]

@mcking65 I updated the PR with the typo fix and the button focus indicator fix, I'm glad we had a chance to fix those.

[shawna-slh]

@mcking65 @alflennik @a11ydoer

It looks like we'll get the blog issues worked out. Shall I publish this now, while Alex is available to QA it?

[mcking65]

@shawna-slh Yes, we are on track for Monday announcement, so let's please push this to production.

[mcking65]

Thank you @alflennik for getting those latest 2 fixes included in this PR.

[shawna-slh]

Deployed. I did a just few quick checks, and looks good. Others please do more thorough QA. Thanks.

[alflennik]

Thank you @shawna-slh! I confirmed that the support tables are working.

[mcking65]

Thank you @shawna-slh!!!

I went through all the changed pages since last deploy and spot checked some other places, and from the POV of a screen reader user, it looks great! I hope the same is true visually! Would be good for someone to double-check the fix to focus indicator on button example page.

[alflennik]

@mcking65 I confirmed that the button indicator is working.
