What are people working on?

• Please vote on jupyter/accessibility’s status in the new Jupyter governance by midnight wherever you are today!

• Meeting this Friday, April 22: FAST-based JupyterLab UI toolkit. This is a discussion around the proposal for a new JupyterLab UI toolkit, which we’ve seen demo’ed for accessibility considerations. Show up or comment on the issue if you’d like to weigh in!

• Isabela

  • isabela-pf/a11y-events Brainstorm list of event ideas

  • Scoping automated testing steps

• Gabriel

  • A plan for the next six weeks that Quansight Labs is considering

    • A number of learnings about automated accessibility tests has been rolled into that doc

  • We are looking for pathways to contributions from other people - especially in this group

• Nick

  • Model-based testing. Build a user model of somebody using the Jupyter test. A model is more interesting that a particular case because you get to weird error messages and corner cases that we need to test for.

  • A close example with stateful, property-based testing in Hypothesis

  • Workflow is not to do this all thinking about it as a test, but more as a state and task combo (ie. I’m looking at a notebook and I want to )

• on the subject of building up a language to create test plans (Isabela metaphor: magnetic fridge poetry)
