May 12th Support Team Meeting Summary


WordPress 4.5.2

After the release of WordPress 4.5.2, we did not need to make any changes to the 4.5 Master List.

Accessibility Forum Subtitle

The Accessibility Forum has been drawing in more threads about folks not being able to access their site than it has about what we understand Accessibility issues to be.

After a long discussion and vote, the subtitle for the forum was changed to “Assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, & voice control.”

Support Badges

We are continuing to distribute Support Contributor and Support Team badges as we notice folks meeting the published distinctions. If you feel you are qualified, and we haven’t added your badge yet, please ping @kenshino or @macmanx on Slack.

Keymaster for Support Rep

A suggestion was made that the Support Representative (currently @macmanx) be promoted to Keymaster in the English support forums (the highest available role in the English forums, it’s very different in the non-English forums). No objections were raised by the Support Team, so assuming no objections are raised by the Meta Team, this will likely happen.

Hosting Recommendations

The official hosting recommendations have been revitalized with 3 new additions, bringing the total up from 1 to 4. Yay!
