Agenda:

FYI:

11.3 shipped.

Sakai 11.3 has 176 improvements [2]  including:

  • 33 fixes for Samigo (aka Test and Quizzes)

  • 30 fixes in Portal and Morpheus combined (aka look and feel)

  • 12 fixes in Accessibility (a11y)

  • 9 fixes in Wiki

Most important accessibility issue being https://sakaiproject.atlassian.net/browse/SAK-31549, which updates the CSS skip class to be better implemented and fix the related JIRAs and re-expose content that was intended for screen readers across Sakai, but was being hidden with display:none.

Discussion:

Follow-Up on Offer from NYU: They have a number of hours from an accessibility/usability firm, TPG.

  • Hans from TPG attended last SAWG call, but can't make this one.

  • Matt and Jeff talked about this on the Core Team call, Feb 21.  Slight preference for addressing ARIA globally, over doing a deep-dive on Samigo.  

Talked about https://w3c.github.io/aria-in-html/#presentation
