Updates from last week ✔️

• I worked in the hamburger menu
  • Fixed the bug of the double menu 🎉
  • Now working on the actual tests 🎉
• I'm doing maintenance work in accessible-pygments
  • I realized that I need to update the docs and readme before doing the release, if not it will be broken on the main PyPI site

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

• I'm ok!

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• Do we want to send a talk to scipy?

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

Updates from last week ✔️

• JupyterLab user testing for common workflows #184 draft is still not done. 😦 I have time today and tomorrow booked for it.
• First draft of accessible notebook authoring recommendations (based on STScI testing). It's not public yet, but I can check if I can get you a draft link.

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

• I don't think I have anything now.

My availability for next week

• I'll be out of office on the 10th.

Important items for discussion 💬

• I don't think I have anything right now.

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thank you all for talking with me and bouncing ideas!

Updates from last week ✔️

• Fixed a nasty merge conflict to update my open PR on jupyterlab repo: Make file browser respond to focussed elements jupyterlab/jupyterlab#13577
• I think I found a way to get past what was blocking me on Tab trap in JupyterLab notebook code cell #168. See important discussion below.

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

• Just tab traps, and you are all helping me by talking through it with me.

My availability for next week

• 🎭 I'll be off one week for Carnaval! Wednesday, February 15 through Wednesday, February 22. So last day I will be in office is on Tuesday, February 14. Then out. Then back in office on Thursday, February 23. It's on the calendar (I just double checked).

Important items for discussion 💬

• How to bump my one open JupyterLab PR for attention? Make file browser respond to focussed elements jupyterlab/jupyterlab#13577
• What to do with WIP 🚧 Fix tab trap in notebook cells gabalafou/jupyterlab#18? This PR is currently on my fork, but I want to put it on JupyterLab, but it might break things.

@isabela-pf
- Isabela - will work on the test scripts tomorrow
- notebook authoring recommendations STScI will be in their repository - complimentary to their style guide (if possible - can you share, please?)
- @gabalafou are we thinking of adding this to JLab? -> maybe at Jupyter-level docs since people use and write notebooks in many contexts -> ideally somewhere with high visibility/discoverability

@gabalafou
- 🎉 managed to solve a horrendous merge conflict on his opened Focus PR 🎉
- Conclusions from the a11y call and the Shortcuts discussion -> this is a mess y'all!
- Tab trap world problem:
- Best UX - wherever you are on the notebook, the keyboard shortcuts should still work
- Issue - if any widget inside the notebook uses any of the same shortcuts as the notebook, this gets overshadowed by the notebook-level shortcuts
- Will be sharing his PR gabalafou/jupyterlab#18 soon
- small discussion on whether the cells should be tab focusable -> Gabriel proposes having only one cell focusable at a time
- 💡 command palette focus and up/down

---

@steff456
- fix pygments today/tomorrow
- and finish the hamburger menu
