Is Gutenberg for WordPress Accessible?

GutenbergUnfortunately, the short answer is, no, Gutenberg is not really accessible.

This is my understanding from the Report on the accessibility status of Gutenberg post on wordpress.org.

For a new method of editing, it seems quite shocking that accessibility, in this day and age, has not been a major consideration from the start. Showing how dire the situation is, Rian Rietveld, the accessibility team lead, has resigned.

The only real recommendation is to revert back to the current standard experience, by installing the Classic Editor, but this has been announced as only supported until 31stDecember 2021. After this the Classic Editor will no longer be supported.

Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 New Features: Sales Transaction Approval Workflow

Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 New Features series in which I am going hands on with the new features introduced in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 (which was released on the 2nd October). I reblogged the new features as Microsoft announced them along with some commentary of how I thought they would be received by both my clients and I. In this series, I will be hands on with them giving feedback of how well they work in reality.

The second new feature is Sales Transaction Approval Workflow. This new feature allows approval workflows to be created for all Sales Order Processing Transaction Types; credit limit checks can be included in the approvals created:

Workflow Condition Editor

I am a big fan of workflow and this feature is one I like a lot. Not just because it is an extra workflow, but because it is one that I have been asked for repeatedly by clients and prospects alike over the last few years.
