For a list of Accessibility issues for Drupal 7.
Wanted to make a brief announcement about a small patch that OpenConcept contributed to Drupal 7 to enhance accessibility. Drupal's accessibility is quite good, but there are always ways to improve for any software. In this case someone reported a problem with radio buttons where the <LABEL> tag was not being associated properly with the appropriate form elements.
I looked at this problem, and rolled a patch for it (which included checkboxes as well) and then attached it to the project. As was discussed at the March 2008 DrupalCon, unit testing is being implemented to review patches to core before they get accepted. After re-implementing the patch in a new format it passed and it has been since approved by webchick who is also "Marking back to 6.x for consideration".
We are going through and looking at ways to enhance the accessibility of a variety of other Drupal projects as time allows. Currently we are looking at the Add This Button and Audio modules which currently break our site's validation.
