Admin Help: 28 October, 2013

@trishasalas ran a test on Verify. The results were close, but with 71 views and 11 responses, testers favored tooltips (slightly) over modals. We’re going this route seeing as how we’ve already got the big help overview at the top. (you can refresh your memory here)

@jazzs3quence has created a GitHub repo to start development and issue tracking: https://github.com/jazzsequence/WordPress-Admin-Help

@trishasalas is going to try to get involved in Helen Hou Sandi’s jQuery UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. re-styling project inasmuch as help is needed. This will benefit Admin Help since jquery-ui has built-in tooltips that we can use for our help.

A couple a11yAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. 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). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) points were brought up in the last update which are worth a read if you haven’t seen them.

We will continue our regular meetings on Mondays at 10:30 MDT
