All the content looks good on my end - just deleted some unnecessary spaces! 🚀

[alflennik]

Thank you for addressing my feedback!

The ARIA Authoring Practices (APG) Task Force just discussed About page ready for review - pull request 2558.

The full IRC log of that discussion

<jugglinmike> Subtopic: About page ready for review - pull request 2558
<jugglinmike> github: https://github.com//pull/2558
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Just before this meeting, I added a link to the Netlify preview
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: https://deploy-preview-207--aria-practices.netlify.app/aria/apg/about/
<jugglinmike> Andrea: At first glance, this looks good, visually
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Among other things, we want to make sure reflow works correctly and that color contrast is acceptable.
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: The one thing that's different here is that we didn't use a "card" view for the "About" page. That was intentional (because we're not going to come up with graphics for each section)
<jugglinmike> Alex_Flenniken: That's right, Isaac Durazo didn't create icons or other graphics for each of these
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Yeah, that's fine. We don't want to have to commit to distinct graphics for each of these things. Maybe we can in the future, if we want to spice it up...
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I wonder if we want to use some generic icons in the future--if that would help. But I don't know what our visual library is like
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: if that all looks good to you, Andrea, then if you can submit a "GitHub Review" in the GitHub interface, that would be great
<jugglinmike> (the group worked through a confusing part of the GitHub.com user interface for code review)

@alflennik, my latest commits are not showing up in w3c/wai-aria-practices#207, so the preview is not up-to-date.

<jugglinmike> Subtopic: About page ready for review - pull request 2558
<jugglinmike> github: https://github.com//pull/2558
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I'd like to merge this
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I've received feedback from a few people on it
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Last night, I made a few changes based on feedback from John_Gunderson
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I had some difficulty--I made changes to the branch, but they weren't showing up in the preview
<jugglinmike> Alex_Flenniken: That's due to how I created the preview for you. It's using Git Submodules in a way that prevents automatic updates. I can manually update the submodule for you
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: That works
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I'd like to merge it in time to include it for the April 11th update
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: I'd also appreciate a review from jamesn
<jugglinmike> jamesn: So, the sections named "Introduction" and "ARIA Basics"?
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: Yup, those are the two new sections. The other text could probably use some work as well, but it is wholesale copied from elsewhere on the site--it's what we've already published
<jugglinmike> Matt_King: we'll skip the other items for this topic in the agenda)

[alflennik]

@mcking65 I've updated the existing preview link with the latest changes.

[mcking65]

@alflennik

Could you please update the preview again? I just addressed the unresolved feedback and fixed a sentence where I made a rather embarrassing editorial blunder.

[alflennik]

@mcking65 okay, it's updated.

[a11ydoer]

Content looks good. I liked the conciseness of role, properties and state in "aria basics" page and the table of "How the APG is organized" in "about page".

[a11ydoer]

@mcking65 @alflennik The review is done. Thanks so much for great work.

[a11ydoer]

@jnurthen also reviewed this and he said via email that he did not see any issues. We are ready to publish.
