@mush42 For me personally – this was a definite inflection point in my career, as I started investing way more into accessibility expertise. For Wagtail, we followed this with a project for a large govt agency to do even more testing and improvements of the CMS admin. Then got our accessibility team started. Then the accessibility team for @django. An #ATAG audit for Wagtail. Yearly reporting on our accessibility. There’s a long way to go but the journey’s been great already 🌈

The FFG Austria shared insights into their #a11y monitoring of 2023. The top detected issues, including 2 new ones, were:

1. Info and relationships
2. Non-text content
3. Name, role, value
4. Logical order when using a keyboard
5. Visible focus (new)
6. Text contrast
7. Keyboard (new)

Here is their website with the whole report (in German): ffg.at/digitale-barrierefreihe

YES!!!

You bring up an excellent point.

Authoring Tool accessibility is a critical and often ignored issue.

Responsive design needs to be about more than break points for different sized rectangles.

Interfaces that respond to user needs and harmonize with other settings - such as large print!

Also, sometimes advocating for a good cause can turn into zealotry, your point also illustrates the need for humility and compassion in our assessment of other's behavior.

Sometimes a lack of accessibility might be a case of bad interface, and not bad human.

Thank you for helping to raise awareness!

I like the early tips from fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediver especially the bits at the end where admins can add CSS to help support their authors to create better content.

I wonder if there are more tools to help authors create more accessible content. 2.0 is really powerful, yet old school social media hasn't adopted it.
