Accessibility Team Meeting Notes: February 15th – DocsWP

Lack of Agendas & publishing of notes

We’ve struggled to get agendas and notes published recently, due to personal issues.
Will get all notes caught up with today (@joedolson)
Want to devise a better system for preparing agendas, that takes into account who will be present at any given meeting.
Last week’s meeting agenda contained numerous items where nobody present had relevant new information.
People anticipating attending a meeting should contact team reps if they have a topic they’d like to raise

Still no updates on Github or elsewhere
Mentioned in update chat with @chanthaboune; hope to get some information soon.
Should we publish the docs for assistive technology ourselves, or would that just create long-term confusion?

Release schedule has been set for late April.
Time frame will not allow for Uniform Search
We believe it does give space for us to accomplish the 32 accessibility tickets currently slated for next release.
@joedolson will take ownership of the Uniform Search ticket so that we can begin planning, aiming to accomplish this in 5.3

From @afercia: note new proposal to systematically integrate animated micro-interactions in Gutenberg’s UI.
While we don’t have any fundamental problems with this in general, we should comment to ensure that the accessibility concerns with animations are raised.
From @afercia: Block specific responsive controls – very complicated and questionable semantics, particularly due to multiple controls that share the same label – labels should be unique. Topic will be discussed in design meeting, as well.
