4. A video for checking ALT attributes for the page in the link above.

@anandau14 had worked on #1206 from 6.4 board.

She had also completed adding those tasks to this Project Board. The tasks were then divided into: High Priority, Medium Priority and Good First Issues. She also wrote a Call for Volunteers to help out with the update.

Open Floor

@milana_cap discussed about new GitHub roles i.e. issue coordinator and reviewer. Both of these roles could be performed by anyone, regardless the experience with docs or WordPress and which would require about 1 hour per week or may be less.

Issues Triage

This was the 5th week meeting which turned out to be a combination of the weekly triage and the regular weekly meeting. To look at the issues in WordPress 6.4 High Priority Issues click here.
