Outstanding Sakai 2.x Accessibility Jira Tickets Discussion

This page is to capture discussion about open Sakai 2.x Accessibility Jira Tickets

Existing Accessibility Jira Tickets

Sakai uses Atlassian's Jira software for issue management. It is used to track a variety of issues, including bug reports, suggestions for new functionality, tasked work, among others. As we find accessibility issues, we put them in the Jira system. At this time, there are many open Accessibility Jira Tickets. Several that have been open for some time. Due to variations in the way Jira tickets for accessibility issues have been created, it is difficult to create a search that lists them all. Two searches that bring up accessibility tickets are listed below:

Note: The lists may contain some items that do not relate to accessibility, due to Jira's text based search mechanism.

Guidelines for Creating New Accessibility Jira Tickets

As an effort to provide a consistent point of contact and to bring a consistency to the Accessibility tickets issues, all new accessibility issues should be brought to the accessibility working group lead for entering into the Jira system.

An excellent brief and to the point list of steps for creating Jira tickets can be found on the "Reporting a Bug in Jira" page. A considerably longer document on Sakai Jira tickets is the "Sakai Jira Guidelines" page. If you have questions regarding Sakai Accessibility Tickets in Jira, please send them to Accessibility Working Group email list, or email the working group lead.

Modern browsers handle page / text enlargement very well. Windows and OS-X offer screen magnification features (Linux desktop screen magnifiers are still considered under development).
Unfortunately, Sakai 2.x is not very usable on Windows when running in the Windows OS's high contrast modes – see comments posted to issue. Need to look at updating help information.

Implicit instead of Explicit Form Control Labeling Issues

The following can be fixed by a jQuery routine that adds id and for attributes as needed. See SAK-18851:

Changing these settings results in a POST - hence a new page is retrieved. I understand that this could be extremely frustrating - but short of replacing the whole workflow with something less POST-y and more stateful, I do not think we can address this.

The flash object has a very simple purpose - to store the data during an autosave, I believe. As such it need not be accessible by anyone - it is there solely as part of a background mechanism. Maybe a screen reader message to that effect? ("Please ignore the Flash object") It is hidden in any case.
