Accessibility Team meeting notes – March 6, 2020


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.

Discussion on the accessibility implications of the recent change to the full-screen mode in the editor

The team discussed the recent change to the full-screen mode in the editor. There is a general concern about the usability and accessibility implications this new default setting will have. In particular, this change potentially violates WCAG’s success criteria of Consistent navigation and Consistent identification.

@audrasjb volunteered to summarize the team’s feedback and create an issue on Gutenberg’s GitHub repository.

Planning for the upcoming start and end of daylight saving time (DST) in some countries and regions

The team agreed to not change our meeting times for the time being. We’ll revisit this topic and adjust if necessary once all countries and regions have changed DST observance.
