Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to @gabalafou and @trallard for the replies on zoom reflow proposals!

Updates from last week ✔️

• Rendered notebook user testing - Round 1 #146. Issues found in tests have been written up! I'm excited about this. While each issue does frame it around the rendered notebook we tested in, I described the behaviors in the issue description, and many feel relevant to other software as well. I spent a lot of time on this in the last week.
• Started Jupyter Accessibility Council things. I'm trying to get this running so we are on time to be involved with governance structuring.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I don't know at the moment.

My availability for next week

• I'll barely be in office next week. I will be out from September 18–21 and September 23. So basically I'm around on Thursday 😆.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I worked in the menu opening only to the right.
  • This change needs to go in Lumino
  • Mike pointed me into the direction where the menus are defined - there's an option called forceX that should be doing the trick, but it is not working properly so I'm investigating on that.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I'm ok

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• I don't have anything for today

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• I know I've said it before but thanks so much to @isabela-pf and @steff456 for providing so much help with internship mentoring.
• @isabela-pf for making time to sync with me.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I spent a lot of time thinking about testing, poking around the W3C, GitHub.
  • I found an interesting page that compares automated testing tools with respect to how many ACT Rules they have implemented correctly.
• Type up requirements issue for Zoom fixes jupyterlab-accessible-themes#34. I did a deep dive into WCAG 1.4.10 and wrote up my findings.
• Improve open tab navigation at 400% browser zoom jupyterlab-accessible-themes#36. Worked with Kulsoom to decide on JupyterLab project to work on. She decided she'll start with this issue.
• Imagine test reporting options #131. Revisited this too.
• Rename toBeAccessible to toPassAxe Widen/expect-axe-playwright#24. Small win. Working out the final API.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• Would it be useful for me to create more high-level design docs around testing and reporting?

My availability for next week

• I'm around all next week.

@gabalafou:

• @kulsoomzahra will be working on improving the tab navigation at high zoom
• Should you create documents around design, testing, and reporting?
  • reporting -> how to interpret the results, what they tell you, and what do they not?
  • Future discussions -> take inspiration from conformance group -> write testing scripts -> guidance for manual testing on development

@steff456:

• Investigating Lumino and how menus are defined there
• Further, analyse and audit text in the menus (an open issue in JupyterLab)

@kulsoomzahra

• she will be working on Improve open tab navigation at 400% browser zoom jupyterlab-accessible-themes#36 - sans the work that Mike has already submitted as a PR
• Improve view of Open Tabs and Kernels on browser zoom jupyterlab-accessible-themes#37
