 **Welcome** **Lesson Plan Updates**

 * [@Skarjune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skarjune/): “CustomizerCustomizer 
   Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use
   it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings.: Taglines” 
   should be complete by EOD of meeting. Working on three other LP copy edits next
   week.
 * [@Donkiely](https://profiles.wordpress.org/donkiely/): Unable to make progress
   due to ambiguity of task. Will review Template Tour and remove red text and strike-
   throughs.

**Discussion of Yearly Goals**

 1. Content flow solution
 2. More solid copyediting process (ties into 1)
 3. Proper handbook (ties to 1 + 2)
 4. Outreach to local groups
 5. An accessibilityAccessibility 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)
    workshop

It seemed generally agreed that considering Edit Flow as one solution and focusing
on #1 are probably good ideas but no word on how long it will take to get Edit Flow
appropriate sign offs. [@bethsoderberg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bethsoderberg)
will talk to [@chanthaboune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chanthaboune) when she
is back online.

TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to
organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team
uses for example: [https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.](https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing)
to be an interim solution until Edit Flow (or something else is implemented.

Because of the enormity of the goals [@bethsoderberg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bethsoderberg)
will write a post about what we know so far about each of our goals and then members
can pick up the torch on the pieces they are interested in.
