The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).

@joyously requested we add a channel topic to #core-css, with the time of our weekly meeting, which we did.

@joyously asked if the audit would include editor CSS, or only wp-adminadmin (and super admin) pages. The current audit includes only wp-admin pages, but there was agreement on auditing both the editor and the default themes CSS at a later stage.

That was all for this week!

Next week @notlaura will be taking over the running of this meeting, due to daylight savings changes.
