These are the weekly notes for the Accessibility Team meeting that happen on Fridays. You can read the full transcript on our Slack channel and find the meeting’s agenda here.
1. Accessibility Team Rep Discussion
@ryokuhi mentioned that he’s served as Team Rep over two years
9since June 2020) and he will be stepping away. What is the best approach to move forward? Currently a role shared with Joe and Alex, elections could be held now or later in September. Agreement that the elections should happen sooner than later, Stefano will remain until end of year if the role isn’t filled.
The normal process is to publish a post on the Accessibility Team’s blog and ask (or propose) contributors for the role and based on replies move foward. @joedolson nominated @sabernhardt during the discussion.
2. Updates for the working groups starting with General Team
@ryokuhi provided a status for General, sharing that the Proposed Schedule for WordPress 6.1 has been published. There are currently 20 tickets in the milestone, with 11 bug scrubs to take care of them, so we have plenty of time for that.
3. Documentaton Team
@joedolson proposed a change to the plugin handbook a few weeks ago, but there hasn’t been any movement on the issue. @Hauwa Abashiya will plan to view this week.
4. Media Team update
Joe Dolson is working on the image editor with hopes of releasing it in July.
