The group is actively tracking progress on:

  • Discussed this at last week's meeting, said we would continue the discussion at this week's meeting.

  • #3322499: Drupal Usability Meeting 2022-11-25 → : We started looking at the issue but ran out of time.
• ✨ Allow media items to be edited in a modal when using the field widget Postponed with notes:
  • @AaronMcHale: Issue could use some guidance.
    In comment #109 the issue was marked as postponed for needing input from UX, accessibility and media initiative. Apparently there are some outstanding UX/accessibility questions (but I'm not sure what they are). This was echoed in comment #111.
    Comment #144 is asking what is needed to move the issue along (the postponed state seems to be causing some delays/confusion as to how to proceed).
    Perhaps we can at least take a look at what the issue is doing and provide some recommendations/guidance on how it could be implemented.

I added comments to 🐛 Placement of batch progress messages Active and 📌 Improve search settings help text Fixed , and I added a new issue 📌 Do not show all completed migrations in batch message Active as a follow-up to #2569785.

I previously added a link to the recording, uploaded a rough transcript, and added issue credits. I think this issue is done.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
