Updates from last week ✔️

• Investigate accessibility statements #52. I heard I needed to make a PR for this, but it's already in jupyter/accessibility. Next step is where it lives in JupyterLab.
• Curate JupyterLab themes #133. Got some community feedback on what might be in-demand for themes, thought nothing decisive came out of it. I need to update this issue with the notes.
• Notebook navigation user testing script is still in progress; I made some changes based on feedback this week. Also getting geared up to start recruiting testers.

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

• I don't know at the moment.

My availability for next week

• I'll be here all week.

Important items for discussion 💬

• Do we have a timeline for this sprint items and I'm missing it somewhere?
• Is there a way I can access the current axe-core test results? I'm looking for their contrast reports, if possible.

I'm sorry yall, I am totally swamped by the website work. We're trying to meet a July 6 internal deadline so that the site is launched by SciPy convention July 11.

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to @trallard for helping take some of the pressure off.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I worked towards deliverable: nothing :(

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

• I mentioned this in yesterday's Jupyter accessibility call, but the CI/CD accessibility tooling is not as plug-and-play (for Gatsby/Next.js-style websites, at least) as I was hoping it might be.

My availability for next week

• Here all week!

Important items for discussion 💬

• I've got nothing.
