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.
Team Rep nominations
Last week @ryokuhi wrote a post announcing his team rep term was coming to an end. Since there were no comments on it, we opened up a discussion in the meeting. Find the announcement post here. It was decided that @ryokuhi would remain team rep to help @alexstine with the day to day tasks required by the role. However, if you would still like to step up as team rep, just let @ryokuhi and @alexstine know and we can coordinate the transition.
Updates from the working groups
Only the groups that provided updates are listed below.
Documentation
Update from @azhiyadevev:
I’ve started updating the Pattern Library section on Make. A lot of work has already been carried out by @Jill Mugge and @joedolson. Unfortunately, it requires a bit more brain power from me to review everything that has been done so far. I’ve been lacking that this week with my schedule but next week should be better.
Gutenberg
- The new and improved Widget experiences — all attention is now being focused on fixing bugs ahead of the release candidate on June 29th so it’s a great time to test!
- Testing welcome on GitHub PR: Remove role group from blocks to see if I can fix JAWS. #32799.
Design
No big updates from Design today. The team reviewed the “About 5.8” Page ticket during the bug-scrub, but it seems in good shape as far as design is involved. View the Ticket.
Meta
The team found that there’s no way to filter Meta tickets for focuses (including the accessibility one), but found a temporary workaround.
Meta ticket #5757 was updated to include the mockup of a possible solution.
Media
There is one ticket that currently needs the latest patch tested. Add a copy-link button at the media upload page.
General
- 10 tickets milestoned for 5.8 were closed until now.
- The Awaiting Review is clear from new tickets, but the team plans to really try to clear it completely including the really old tickets.
Open floor
- Next week, @ryokuhi will not be able to attend the bug scrub or the meeting. If anyone would like to volunteer, please let @ryokuhi or @alexstine know. The date of the next bug scrub is Friday, June 25, 2021, 15:00 UTC. The meeting is one hour after.
- @alexstine will be unavailable for the bug scrub and meeting on Friday, July 2. Right now, no extra coverage is thought to be required.
