Agenda for February 18, 2021 Community Group Meeting

Preamble

• Meeting focus: screen reader test writing and manual test runs
• Next community group meeting: February 25
• Quick announcements:

  • Follow-up comments have been added to the issues discussed last time:

    1. Multiple agenda labels to match the meeting plan (issue 386)
    2. Updates to Working Mode/Test Review Process (issue 375)
    3. Need better way to discern if NVDA is in browse mode (issue 382)

    It will be good to determine who wants to take on the action items from these.

  • Next week's meeting (February 25) will also have a test writing focus, as the other workstreams are only just resuming.
