[Accessibility-testing] August 13 meeting notes

[Jason McIntosh]

Hi everyone,

Just some reminders about stuff we should have ready for next Monday, August 27:

• Folks should have played the final draft of Zarf’s Inform game and reviewed his notes

• Same for Claire’s Twine game, once the next draft becomes available

…Well, I think that’s it, actually, modulo any further questions I may dredge up about the test matrix. Other than all that, see you next week...
