Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• @gabalafou for doing the final review of the Github Light PR

Updates from last week ✔️

• Merged Add github light jupyterlab-accessible-themes#49
• Waiting review for notebook authoring guidelines WIP - Add Notebook Authoring Guide jupyter/accessibility#127
• Waiting review for the ARIA and WCAG intro Add WCAG and ARIA intro jupyter/accessibility#126
• Opened PR for Github dark Add github dark jupyterlab-accessible-themes#53
• Started writing the docs for the 400% Zoom audit
• Mike update is that he was doing the PR in his free time, and now he doesn’t have the bandwidth to finish it soon.
• For next week I'll bring a plan per week for the internship

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I'm still waiting for more feedback on the notebook authoring guide, so I didn't made a lot of progress in that front this week.

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• What is missing in Add WCAG and ARIA intro jupyter/accessibility#126 to be merged?
• Anyone has the bandwidth to finish Mike PR? He said he would be super happy to see that work moving, but I wanted to check the priorities with the team.
• Should I wait for Github dark before doing the release of jupyterlab accessible themes? Or should I go ahead and do the release as it is?

Sorry I'm late on this!

Something I learned this week

• Tony shared this web resource during the Rethinking Notebook Cells meeting: Game accessibility guidelines

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• I'd like to thank @steff456 for sharing her thoughts and insights and answering my questions about Jupyter notebooks and how she did her research with me during Camp Quansight

Updates from last week ✔️

• Most of my week was spent digging into that list of a11y PRs I mentioned in a previous update. I went down a rabbit hole, looking at the history of the skip link, what purpose it serves in the context of JupyterLab. I summarized my findings in my review of the fix skip link PR
• Reviewed Stephannie's GitHub Dark theme PR
• Synced with Darian about bringing Tony's research findings into the Notebook widget used by both JupyterLab and Notebook 7.

My availability for next week

• I'll be off on Friday, June 30
