2.9 Accessibility Review

Accessibility Issue Jira work

  • Joe and Gonzalo did a lot of work on accessibility issues.

    • Until the release management team are finished with 2.9 release, the Jira system will not have a tag for the 2.9.1 release, so the accessibility issues are going to be targeted for Sakai 2.10.

    • Major and critical issues seem to be getting resolved very quickly by both Gonzalo and other developers.

    • Joe put in a lot of Jiras and suggestions on how to be fixed.

    • Gonzalo has fixed many of the Jira issues that have been posted in the last few weeks, as well as some of the other issues that were filed months ago but never resolved.

    • So far, there are 25+ issues solved and patched that will be included in Sakai 2.9:
