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.
Accessibility discussion around the Gutenberg GitHub issue Post Title Block: add typography formatting options
The focus of this discussion is around whether it’s a good idea to allow underlining of text that is not a link as underline can strongly indicate that the text is a clickable link and may lead to confusion if non-links are underlined.
It was decided that it would be better to remove the underline formatting option from the pull request for now and maybe revisit implementation later if there is a greater need.
How to move forward with Proposal: new workflow keyword to exclude tickets until review is needed
At this point, the proposal was posted a couple weeks ago. The best way forward is likely to choose a keyword name. Another suggestion was brought up to just mark tickets as Future Release milestone. A list of keywords that the team is considering can be found in a comment on the original post: comment posted here.
