1) I think that "About", "How to use", and "contribute" should be headings.
2) I think that the "About this Quick Reference" would be more usable if it hid everything else on the page and then needed to be closed to view the main content again. Could be as a modal dialog, similar effect.

I clicked the link above and it didn't open in a new tab as our surveys usually do. I clicked the back button and it wouldn't let me back. I think it's a problem for the quickref to break the back button.

I found it disconcerting that after opening the section it was frozen at the top of the page and I basically lost my ability to scroll until I closed it again. I want to be able to keep it open at the top so I can refer to it, yet scroll through the rest also.

i like the layout for the about but I would like to see more white space between the gray boxes and more padding inside the gray boxes.

As someone with ADD I had a hard time reading the content since it seemed all crunched together.

Review of the Mockup- Quickref Prototype "About this quickref section"

Comments:
1. Refer to BUTTON element with aria-controls=pageinfo .
In collapsed state, the button is correctly announced as "About this quick reference collapsed".
But, in expanded mode the button is read by a screen reader (NVDA and JAWS on Windows and VoiceOver on iOS) as "Hide this information expanded"
What is "this info"? And why does it say hide and expanded together?
It should be announced as "About this quick ref expanded".
2. I do not think it is appropriate to refer to WCAG as "Web standards" ... standards has a different connotation.
I know this is not normative but these terms should not be used loosely or interchangeably, because WCAG 2 is legal where it has been referenced in legislation.

3. Refer to the line, "Select the “Filter” tab in the main menu to customize:
3.1. The "Filter element is exposed as a link both in Windows and on iOS ... confusing when it is referred to as a tab. The Filter element is a link that displays / hides the tab panel, right?
And there is a tab panel in the nav section but elements in it are exposed as links.
The navigation landmark should have aria-label="main menu" so the nav elements can be identified as per the referenced instruction.

I wondered if this last panel - contribute - could be eliminated, shortened, or put somewhere else. But not something I would hold up public review for.

I'm happy for it to go for public review. Personally, I'd like to see some more visual flourishes to make it pop a little more. It needs colour, and to feel light. I think in terms of function it's very good, but needs that extra push. Maybe looking at some of the colour combinations in the new W3C style guide would help?

David, specifically what can't be operated from the keyboard? I can access everything in the "contents" tab on the left side via the keyboard (using Safari and Chrome on Mac)

Smaller issues:
1) The list of links in the contents tab would be wonderful to not need to tab through. Have we considered treating the content as a tree?
2) It seems likely to cause confusion that the checkboxes for sufficient/advisory/failures are provided at the guideline level when there are techniques since the techniques are always advisory.
3) I think that the popup to share a link to the section should be modal.
4) The text input with the URL within the share popup cannot be keyboard navigated, so all links look the same. We could just have a "copy link" button and avoid the instructions and avoid writing out the link

I found the survey confusing: normally there are radio buttons for approve / do not approve choices but there are checkboxes here?
There are 2 groups of checkboxes with very similar and long label text. Maybe grouping them with fieldset legend and briefer label text will help....

It's a very solid prototype with lots of features and functionality. I think it's time for the group to get some feedback from the public to make sure we're going in the right direction.

One of the biggest issues I hear is that people don't know when techniques have changed, which would require them to be constantly checking the whole thing. Could there be a date included on the techniques/failures etc showing the last date changed? Either that or some kind of digest of changes people could subscribe to?
