General
Having a look at the milestone on Trac, there are 11 open tickets in the 5.8 milestone. 5 other tickets have been closed. The current period is dedicated to fixing bugs and ends on June 8.
Media
The media team managed to get some key accessibility-related enhancements into core before the deadline, so that was satisfying. They are now turning attention to get some bug fixes in and to test and polish the enhancements.
Meta
A new ticket about coding string status on translate.wordpress.org only through color was opened in the Meta Trac and needs design feedback. @critterverse offered to take a look and provide any thoughts/feedback.
Open floor
@ryokuhi and @alexstine are going to meet with Mike Gifford in response to the following message.
Are there folks in the WP community working on improving the authoring interface in terms of accessibility? Specifically ATAG 2.0 Part B? Anyways, would love a discussion at some time with folks who might be interested in the findings from the We4Authors Cluster.
They will provide a summary of the discussion during the next meeting to keep things as open and transparent as possible.
