Accessibility Meeting Notes for 19 April 2019


Meeting transcript on Slack

Welcomed new contributors

Welcomed and got introductions from Enrique Sanchez & @nataliemac; gave them an introduction to the Accessibility Team purview and operations.

1) WordPress 5.2 Accessibility Team work statement

@joedolson didn’t know what the intent behind this agenda item was, so tabled for next week.

2) WordPress 5.3 Goals

Reviewed goals for 5.3. @nataliemac will review & update spreadsheet of priorities. Enrique Sanchez volunteered to help with planning on Uniform Search.

3) Update on Automated Testing

@gziolo has made a pull request to incorporate Axe testing into Gutenberg e2e suite. Pending review.

4) Update on User Handbook

Discussed whether we should publish @abrightclearweb‘s documentation into our Handbook, since it’s now mid April and we still have no updates on user documentation.

Laid out scope of what this would take, which is significant.

@karmatosed will follow-up to try and get something moving next week. It would be preferable to not have to reduplicate this work, but we feel strongly that it needs to be published.

5) Continuing Discussion: W3C alt decision tree

Tabled due to shortage of time.

6) Update on Accessibility Team/Contributors Badges

All badges have been updated per discussion last week.
