A11y Jiras that need testing/review 

Accessibility Improvements to Forums

  • Greasemonkey script created by Brian Richwine

  • Forum posts are in a list now using role="listitem" improving speed of keyboard access

  • Text info added to each post providing context. Example, "Message 2 is a reply to: Joseph A Humbert  message:1"

  • Improved link text, "reply to message 2"

  • Choice of rich text editor or plain text area (would be separate jira)

  • Next steps

  • Refine it at Indiana

  • Adapt to nightly and refine

  • Use as outcome to define changes to Forums itself

IDEA:

  • Editor / No Editor preference?

  • Worth investigating if wysiwyg.editor=ckeditor can be elevated to a user preference and have "None" as an option?
