(For the records, there is a skin related session proposed by @Zend2020 on the schedule but it's unclear to me @Zend2020's plans are. @Zend2020: Maybe you could elaborate?)

Hello,
So sorry did not elaborate what I mean(t) about skins , I am referring to
the inaccessibility of the interface for PWD. I found out during a project
which I led

The blind editors had issues from step 1 creating an account and the trail
of issues began,I am hoping to have one of them that is blind prospective
editor Harry Osibote who is also a techie speak along with me if he agrees.
This is because he has, on his own, been trying to troubleshoot the issue.I
hope I am clearer now?

Hi Gbemisola,
Thanks for sharing your information about the session! If you'd like, you can link your session on the schedule to this description.
Cheers,

Okay

So my plan for this session was to cover the following:

• Introduction: Why skins? Why should we care about skins
• Building skins
  • https://skins.wmflabs.org/#/ and the skin creator
  • Talk about data ./ views
  • How others can get involved and improve things, request new functionality
• Open discussion about skin development

The session should be useful for people who want to:

• build a skin
• learn about changes post 1.35
• connect with people who are building skins.
• get more involved in the skin architecture

Does this sound interesting?

Cool, thanks!

Checked out the skins too, seems clear enough it helps the issues I am
trying to highlight which is addnew functionality

@Zend2020 please create a new Phabricator ticket for your session, as I'm not sure what you had in mind but I won't be covering accessibility in my session (I have team members who might be interested in doing one if you are though!!).

I think this session isn't correctly scheduled. The time is 16:00 but it's in the UTC morning group of meetings

Okay I will.

@Jdlrobson: Thanks for participating in the Hackathon! We hope you had a great time.
