Drupal Accessibility Office Hours 2026-08-20

Summary from Gemini:

The Goal

• Discuss accessibility office hours, tooling, automated testing, and meeting management within the Drupal community.

The Discussion

• Accessibility and automated testing: Explored testing tools like Playwright and Axe for Drupal core and event templates, noting limitations and browser-level controls.
• User testing strategies: Discussed ways to engage student groups, administrative editors, and the broader community to improve platform accessibility.
• Project management improvements: Proposed adopting structured tickets and agenda tracking similar to the UX working group for future office hours.

The Next Steps

• Create meeting tickets: Jeanette to manually create recurring meeting issues and tickets modeled after the UX channel format.
• Update office hours page: Mike and Jeanette to integrate recent meeting discussions into the Drupal accessibility office hours page updates.
