These are the weekly notes for the accessibility team meeting that happens on Fridays. You can read the full transcript on our Slack channel and find the meeting’s agenda here.
Update on 5.4 Trac tickets
@audrasjb has organized a schedule to run additional bug scrubs in preparation for the 5.4 release. Last week we were at 40 accessibility focused tickets still open in the milestone, and today we are at 36 open tickets.
We were all reminded that Beta 1 is planned for February 11, 2020, and it is our deadline for committing patches into core.
The next bug scrub is planned for Tuesday, January 28 at 17:00 UTC.
Update on the last WPAD planning meeting
Last week we held out third planning meeting for the WordPress Accessibility Day in the #accessibility-events channel in Slack. The team reports that the event organization is taking shape, and we’re considering September 26, 2020, as our intended date.
We’ve considered other WordPress events and mayor global holidays to define this date. That being said, we’d like to let it sit for a couple more weeks in case we’ve missed an important event or holiday.
Big thanks to @joedolson and everyone else who’s volunteered for the organizing team.
Please head over to the #accessibility-events channel in Slack to find out when then next planning meeting will be.
Follow up of the Gutenberg block focus project
Work is underway, and the next steps are converting the team’s observations into actionable GitHub issues in the Gutenberg repository.
Help with testing the navigation block
The design team has asked for our help with performing accessibility testing on the navigation block in the editor. @nrqsnchz will coordinate a document where those available to help can add their feedback and observations.
