# Accessibility team, May 4th 2018

### Handbook

We added new pages added about [Test for web accessibility](https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/handbook/best-practices/test-for-web-accessibility/)
to the handbook’s Best Practices chapter. If there are people who want to review
what is published, please do.

Sami Keijonen [tweeted posts from the handbook](https://twitter.com/WPAccessibility)
in a series on Twitter. Nobody uses Facebook in the team, so we won’t start a Facebook
campagne.

### GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. 󠀁[https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)󠁿

Summarised: Minor fixes went in, the bigger issues are still to solve.

We need to write a manual for AT users. We need people who are familiar with Gutenberg
to be involved in writing the manual for AT users of Gutenberg. We can start outlining
the processes and AT combinations to be documented. Rian will investigate what the
best place is to publish this manual. Rian and Sami want to help writing.

We will dedicate our weekly bugscrub now on Gutenberg for now

We need to contact someone from Dragon about issue raised by Eric Wright: [Can’t add a post title using speech recognition software](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/5468).
