Yesterday was the third Drupal 7 accessibility taskforce meeting, and the final meeting before code freeze. With September 1 just around the corner the Drupal accessibility community would like to reach out the the broader community for some additional help during this busy time to get as many accessibility improvements into Drupal 7 core as possible.
There are many ways to help and to get involved. If anyone is wondering what they can do or how their skills may be useful please e-mail Everett to find out where your skills can best be put to use.
There are five issues that we would like to request assistance with. They are listed below with links to their issue page.
- Form element labeling is inconsistent, inflexible and bad for accessibility (558928)
- Local tasks lack semantic markup to indicate an active task (521852)
- Link to expand / collapse fieldsets has poorly accessible link text (541568)
- Accessibility improvements for vertical tabs (467296)
- Drag and Drop for table rows is not accessible to screen-reader users (448292)
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to Drupal accessibility thus far, and thanks in advance for those who can find the time to contribute over the next week.
