Topics

Test environment

We are working on getting a ready to test environment that we can use for quick testing and offer it if needed to a11y testers outside JAT and Joomla Community.

Till now we have been working with the environments offered by launch.joomla.org but some members find it very slow at times (though others have shown no concerns with the performance of the test sites).

JAT private documents and resources

We are moving JAT documentation to the proper folder in the Joomla organization inside Google Drive.
