Make Our Starshot Accessible

Open mgifford opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

What do we need to do to make Starshot accessible? If this is a "completely new Drupal" then we need to make sure that we are building in accessibility best practices from the start. Some thoughts:

  • What are the known accessibility problems in the components which will make up Starshot? 
  • How do we go beyond the automated testing already in Core to ensure that we are catching new issues earlier in the process? 
  • What can we do now to make sure that additional flexibility does not inadvertently exclude people?
  • As a leading open source CMS, we've made commitments to keep up with accessibility best practices as defined by the W3C https://www.drupal.org/about/features/accessibility - which impacts both the user and author facing pieces?

Starshot will take a big investment from our community, but we have to see it doesn't exclude people as part of this process.
