[Accessibility-testing] Meeting reminder, and links to results sheets

[Jason McIntosh]

Reminder that our testing-period-midpoint call is this evening at 7 PM eastern via Slack. Do come if you’re able.

The response CSVs are in the dropbox, but the bright idea to share the result-spreadsheets via their native Google docs didn’t occur to me before now, golly jeepers.

So I’ve added two new files to the Dropbox, inform_test.webloc and twine_test.webloc, that should link you directly to the two survey-response sheets, both as up-to-date as Google feels like making them.

(I am refraining from pasting the URLs directly into this mailing list because it’s publicly archived and the survey responses contain sensitive information.)

Others report trouble with various of the accessibility traps Zarf created, including ones that I don’t recall our internal testers having much trouble with (e.g. the pull-quotes), so that’s interesting. (I would hypothesize that not being familiar with parser-game conventions will make these effects a lot more onerous.)
