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.
Incorrect cursor used on buttons
The accessibility team has made a final recommendation on this ticket from the WPCampus accessibility report. The pointer cursor should be reserved for links, and an affordance for buttons can be communicated in other ways, such as noticeable hover and focus styles.
Disabled button doesn’t look disabled
The team also shared their recommendation on this ticket about disabled button styles. Because contrast requirements don’t apply to disable interface controls, we don’t have any issues with the design team making a call on changing this.
Video block settings for alternate sources
The team agreed to have a more broad-ranging conversation about the accessibility of navigation to and from the block inspector (sidebar) in Gutenberg. We’ll continue this discussion at next week’s meeting.
Feedback on the Navigation block
Members of the team are encouraged to try out the Navigation block in Gutenberg and provide feedback. We’ve created a spreadsheet to collect everyone’s results.
