Jem: what is the status of candidate report? approved or unapproved?

matt: candidate report is unapproved and we can make the warning message pane collapsible

Jem: none means "no data available" yet

matt: what's the difference between "data yet not available" or "no data"?

MarkMcCarthy: Change to "Jaws for window" and "NVDA for window" may be more consistent and clear.

matt: if we have two strings, "not applicable" or "n/a" for Jaws and NVDA and "no data yet" for VoiceOver

Jem: "not applicable" works for the mobile view

james: spell out and use "not applicable"

matt: should the accessible name of the buttons be changed?

MarkMcCarthy: change "embed" to "get embed link"?

Jem: currently we have a couple of U of I people.

<Jem> I like Matt's "workshopy" idea

MarkMcCarthy: how to advertise and highlight incentives?
