Next steps?

[marcoscaceres]

Hi @alice, @bkardell! Just wanted to check what the plan/status is wrt this project?

Can you provide a brief update and if there is anything chairs should be doing to help?

[bkardell]

CSS WG actually resolved to add :focus-ring to selectors 4 or 5 after talks based on this proposal advanced (https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Oct/0012.html), I think for now at least it wound up in WG and was seen as not necessary to incubate by too many people, esp since moz has had a near identical thing in prefixed form for quite some time. I guess we kind of knew in that first conversation that this might be the case. We discussed a bunch on discourse and in other channels whether that is sufficient or we need more, I'm still not sure. But, that's where it stands. I'm not sure whether we should keep this as a thing since what remains is still unclear.

:focus-ring was merged in to CSS selectors 4 (w3c/csswg-drafts#709). I'd really love to have some sort of polyfill-like thing to advocate to get people fired up about this. I think this project could be left as is, or would it make sense to rename it WICG/focus-ring and tweak the API so it's a sort of polyfill for that? Maybe changing the attribute name from [modality=keyboard] to just [focus-ring]?

[marcoscaceres]

@robdodson maybe we should spin up a new repo?

[robdodson]

Maybe. I was just discussing with @alice. Tagging her in to see what she thinks

[alice]

Proposed new repo at https://github.com/alice/focus-ring - ready to be forked (or cloned) to WICG!

[marcoscaceres]

@alice, can you "transfer ownership" to WICG through Github's settings? That will do the right things. I can then press magic buttons on my end to add the needed files, etc.

[alice]

Done! https://github.com/WICG/focus-ring

[marcoscaceres]

Woot!

[marcoscaceres]

Ok, magic buttons pushed on my end. Some additional files were added to the new repo. See commit history there for changes, etc.

[marcoscaceres]

Whoops, didn't mean to close this... ok, what happens to this repo now?

[alice]

I should prolly update the readme to point at focus-ring.

[alice]

Done ^^
