- It’s time to test real-time collaboration! With WordPress 7.0, real-time collaboration—the centerpiece of Gutenberg Phase 3—lands in Core. This is the first iteration, and there’s much more to come. But you can test it now!

Working Group Updates
added Quick Wins and a Reading Guide (content by role/expertise), included a disclaimer that docs support the WordPress community but don’t replace WCAG.. Currently work is done on documentation on focus management, alt text, WCAG intro, business accessibility, and legislation.
@joedolson shared many updates, with a few items still being worked on.
Only one accessibility ticket remains open for the WordPress 7.0 milestone (likely won’t make it), 32 tickets were closed for 7.0, focus will shift to accessibility goals for 7.1 after RC1, and RC is the key time to review and fix accessibility issues in new features before final release.
Real-time collaboration needs accessibility testing (especially with screen readers); contributors should test RTC with multiple users editing simultaneously, coordinate testing with @joedolson, and also review visual revisions though they are less urgent.
So far no updates here.
The following two meetings will be scheduled at 19:00 UTC due to a timing conflict with the WordPress 7.0 release. After the release, we will return to our regular meeting time of 15:00 UTC. This change is temporary.
