What are people working on?

  • working on a windowed notebook - this will certainly raise accessibility issue

    • Headers may already not be working well. jupyterlab/jupyterlab #11374 Anchors are not working properly

    • Virtual rendering in other contexts: Google Docs, genome browsers

  • Testing basic components against accessiblity: sharing an example from VS Code (didnot look at the techno used):

    • GitHub repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-webview-ui-toolkit

• Tony

  • Notebook 7 efforts are meant to include accessibility efforts more info on the plan for Notebook 7

  • With the CZI EOSS grant, we will be updating our progress via a roadmap.

  • Let’s talk about the current draft roadmap PR.

  • What information would you all want on this roadmap?

    • Linking to issues might be nice. Which issues make sense (we have duplicate issues across some repositories)?

    • Add another page “changelog” that lists what we have completed when things get moved off the roadmap.

    • Are there repository labels/tags that make sense to link to?
