RE: WCAG 2.2 issues

Hi Alastair,

Please forgive my ignorance.
I am trying to sign up for some issues but don't see how.
You said "If you are going to tackle it, assign it to yourself (top right);"
As I tab or arrow around, I don't perceive any button or link obvious which allows me to assign an issue to myself-I see "assignees" "no one assigned" and a "subscribe" button. The experience is the same before and after I sign into my account.
What is the name or label of the control I am supposed to look for?

Thanks for your help.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] WCAG 2.2 issues

Hi everyone,

We have a fair few issues coming in, and it would really help to distribute these around the group.

I think it would help to focus on particular issues at a time, you'll see in the surveys for our next meeting that it focuses on Redundant Entry & Focus Appearance.

Other SCs include, in order of number of open issues:

Obviously it helps if you are familiar with an SC, so the people who lead each SC may wish to tackle theirs, but anyone can join in.

The general process is to:

  *   Review an issue;
  *   If you are going to tackle it, assign it to yourself (top right);
  *   Propose an update and/or a response;
  *   Add the label 'Survey, read for' when you are done.
An update can be in the form of a pull request, but it could also just be in a comment, e.g. "Let's update the understanding document, 3rd paragraph, to say...". Please do include the exact text so the group can review it.

A response can be proposed as a comment in the github thread, saying "My draft response for group consideration is: ". Or if you are unsure, please to email it to the chairs or the AG group for comment before putting something in the github thread.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
