Weekly meeting
Handbook
The writing continues steadily, we still hope to finish the best practices mid March.
In the meantime we need to set up a marketing plan for the handbook. @samikeijonen and @postphotos want to work in this, with the help of the Marketing team (@mcdwayne, @gidgey and @anafransilva).
Thoughts and ideas are in the Google doc: Marketing plan for accessibility handbook.
We will continue the discussions in the Slack channel #accessibility-docs.
Gutenberg
The Gutenberg inserter has been tested at the contributors day at WCUS and by @abrightclearweb
The the Gutenberg toolbar roving tabindex is still on the to-do list.
Note from @afercia: The roving tabindex thing is implemented for now just on the Inserter “tabs”. The point is, consider to use the same technique for the toolbar too?
See Toolbar: consider to use a roving tabindex and standardize navigation · Issue #3383
It’s well explained in the ARIA Authoring Practices example. Worth noting there’s now an option to set the toolbar in different positions:
- docked to the top
- floating on top of each block
Further more we need urgent frontend testers/reviewers/devs for the issues Sami created om GitHub to prevent inline style going into the frontend code. There have been good conversation about inline styles in Proposal of removing inline styles · Issue #2862.
Items on the To-do list
- Prevent frontend style getting in Gutenberg
- Research screen reader performance for code short codes like [ php ] or [ html ] – action Sami, if he has time
- Write up a summary of things that will change in WCAG 2.1 for core and design – action Rian, next week
