Upcoming reviews:

Carousel example 1:
1. Need Jon to copy examples/carousel/example-1 into the issue458-add-carousel-example branch (See comment in issue 43)
2. Then might need Jon to make adjustments to match pattern after today's discussions of carousel.
3. Then Matt will make final edits, create pull request, and assign reviewers.
Redesigned Toolbar example
1. Matt still needs to make final edits, create pull request, and assign reviewers.
Possibly carousel example 2
1. Need Jon to copy examples/carousel/example-2 into the issue955-add-tabbed-carousel-example branch (See comment in issue 43)
2. Then might need Jon to make adjustments to match pattern after today's discussions of carousel.
3. Then Matt will make final edits, create pull request, and assign reviewers.
Possibly date picker
Only other work to make it into release 3 will probably be simple bugs and editorial issues.

Start at 10:20 -- 5 minutes.

Current draft of carousel pattern
Separated terms into their own subsection following the examples subsection
in other patterns where we have term definitions, e.g., accordion, the definitions are the last part of the description.
Proposing a terms section to:
- Shorten description and bring examples further up.
- Call attention to terms because they are important element of understanding for keyboard, roles, states, and properties.

Start at 10:25 -- 10 minutes.

Current draft of carousel pattern
Due to wide variety of designs, removed the specific tab sequence guidance.
Because we don't know what components will be in a carousel, referencing other patterns.

Start at 10:35 -- 20 minutes

Current draft of carousel pattern
Made multiple changes that need discussion
Added guidance to use aria-roledescription:
- Matches aria-roledescription guidance in ARIA spec
- Recommend on region or group containing entire carousel, including controls.
- Recommend on each slide unles the slide is a tabpanel
Left aria-controls out of pattern due to lack of good target.
- Examples have aria-controls on rotation control, previous, and next pointing to carousel region.
- They do not control entire region.
- Moving reading cursor from button to region moves cursor backward, further from controlled area.
- To provide utility, aria-controls on previous/next would require a container around all the slides that does not include the slide controls.
- Would add a layer of complexity
Recommend group of buttons if not using tabs
- Assuming all buttons would be in tab sequence otherwise a tablist would have been used.

Start at 10:55 -- 5 minutes.
