Technical Team Report

By: @ZoeLeBlanc

Date: 25 May 2021

Actions Completed Since Previous Report:

• We closed Add Last Tested Yaml To Lessons #1938, so we now have yaml metadata for lesson testing
• We closed Lesson banner issue #2093 that fixed some of the logic problems we had with lesson banners, removing the yaml field redirect_from and rewriting our translations logic.
• We closed Alert banner issue with Contrast  #2094 that tweaked our nightmode for color contrast (thanks @walshbr!)
• @walshbr also has done a ton for our accessibility audit and closed four PRs for adding alt attributes to images, improving screen reader functionality, and color contrasts 🎉 Contrast fixes #2135 Add remaining alt text #2136 Add alt attributes #2124 Accessibility audit pt 2 #2129
• @jenniferisasi closed Translation Concordance Bug - Pt Lesson Template #2002 fixing our translation concordance issues and also coped with some of the underlying infrastructure changes, which meant that her branch became accidentally maybe one of the largest PRs we ever had (314 commits & 143 files changes 😅 )
• We've also had a lot of builds breaking and so we've had to tweak our Github Actions (and also discovered that some of the original code we had was no longer appropriate for the library we use for html checking)

Substantive Actions Remaining Open Since Previous Report:

• Adding PT to Twitter Bot Add PT to Twitter Bot #2006 (though @walshbr has been in contact with PT team)
• Discussed how to change initial lesson submission metadata at our last tech team meeting and Zoe still needs to setup meeting with managing editors Updating Initial Lesson Metadata Guidelines #1995
• We opened Accessibility Audit #2072 to conduct an accessibility audit and @walshbr has done an enormous undertaking to get us most of the way there. We'll be discussing remaining issues at our next tech team meeting.
• @hawc2 has also done an amazing job leading Could perma.cc help PH keep weblinks sustainable? #2030 which is an assessment of our current archiving of web links strategy. He's worked with @drjwbaker and Temple libraries to get us setup with perma.cc access. Next step is creating documentation for how to use this new service and then helping editors and tech team integrate this into their workflows 🙌🏽
• @jenniferisasi is leading Change menu bar from static top to fixed top #2100 to make the menu bar fixed when you scroll
• Lesson sequence banners in ES Python tutorials series banner in ES #1945 is pretty ready to merge but just needs to be refreshed with latest gh-pages version
• link checker to ignore blog #2106 going forward we'll no longer have our html-proofer check the blog for links or html formatting. We still need to discuss in our tech team meeting documentation and processes to ensure that the blog indicates this change and also maintains accessibility standards.
• Zoe is still planning to undertake a redesign our front page Front page redesign  #2020 to hopefully make it more user friendly and multilingual friendly though she is waiting until we complete the accessibility audit
• No tickets yet but we need to prepare for @walshbr retiring this summer 😢 and also onboard @hawc2 officially to the Tech Team 🎉 . Also schedule our summer meeting (probably July realistically at this point).

6-month focus:

• Front page redesign
• Finish accessibility audit
• Adding more documentation to the wiki

12+ month focus:

• Review alternatives to Jekyll (is it time for a faster static site generator?)
• Grant application to support tech team activities
• Review of Github issues trends
