Minutes:

• Talked about the Labs all hands coming up on Tuesday
  • Question: is this about Scientific Python CZI grant or about anything accessibility at Quansight?
    • I think it should be about anything accessibility
  • Gabriel to follow up on Slack
• Talked about accessible names for the PST theme switcher
  • Isabela to follow up, but we don't want to spend too much time on this because it's not really critical for many screen reader users
  • Idea from Matthias (which I like a lot): perhaps make the theme switcher button open a dialog that lets the user choose which color scheme they want, but also informs them how to change the color scheme at the browser and/or system level.
• Discussion of hover effect on collapsible admonitions
  • Sought clarification from Isabela if this referred to just the Sphinx-togglebutton admonition or all of the collapsible admonitions. Response: none of them had a clear enough hover effect.
  • Decisions made:
    • Consistency between all admonitions is desired
    • Underline is enough of a hover effect. (Could even underline the chevron icon, if necessary.)
• Around the room updates
