Great article Liz! Verifying contrast ratios is another aspect of
ensuring accessibility. I've added the link you shared to the
accessibility wiki.

(Thanks Julie P for pushing that!)
I've started to add information to the wiki that Joonwon Lee created:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Horizon/WebAccessibility
I think that's going to be a good place to gather material. I'd like
to
see additional information added about what tools we can use to
verify
accessibility. I'd like to try to summarize the WCAG guidelines into
some
broad areas where Horzion needs work. I expect to add a checklist of
accessibility-related items to consider while reviewing code.
Joonwon (or anyone else with an interest in accessibility): It would
be
great if you could re-inspect the icehouse level code and create bugs
for
any issues that remain. I'll do the same for issues that I am aware
of.
In each bug we should include a link to the WCAG guideline that has
been
violated. Also, we should describe the testing technique: How was
this
bug discovered? How could a developer (or reviewer) determine the
issue
has actually been fixed? We should probably put that in each bug at
first,
but as we go they should be gathered up into the wiki page.
There are some broad areas of need that might justify blueprints (I'm
thinking of WAI-ARIA tagging, and making sure external UI widgets
that we
pull in are accessible).
Any suggestions on how to best share info, or organize bugs and
blueprints
are welcome!
Doug,
Thanks very much for bringing this up as a topic and pushing it forward at
Summit. I think this will be a great step forward for Horizon in maturity
as we continue to have better accessibility support. I wanted to throw out
any article that I found helpful when it comes to testing sites for
accessibility for colorblindness:
http://css-tricks.com/accessibility-basics-testing-your-page-for-color-blindness/
I think we can make some very small/easy changes with the color scheme to
be sure there is enough contrast to target all types of colorblindness.
Looking forward to this session,
Liz
