Goal
To make the Dreamwidth site and features more accessible.
Background
We need to figure out which parts/features of the site are causing trouble for disabled users, and which features don't cause any problems but can be /improved/ (and how), and which features work great. Fix the problematic features, tweak the things that can be improved, document the good ones so that people will know where to find them/how to use them.
Note that making a site accessible is not the same as making it mobile friendly (and vice versa). While the two goals have some similarities, they are not always compatible.
Biggest Needs
Someone with experience in accessibility concerns needs to go over the site with a fine-tooth comb, and say what is good and what is bad.
Possible Items to Consider
Alt text
- userpics Bugzilla
- site images
Keyboard-friendly
- tab-order
- offer alternatives to functions that are triggered on mouse-over?
?style=mine
Some styles can make text unreadable for some users
- check universal style=mine behavior Bugzilla
