Tuesday join us on the #drupal-accessibility IRC Group.

We'll review progress on D7 and coordinate our next steps.

In the past we've had detailed agendas, but lately the meeting has been more informal. Feel free to reply if you think there are specific topics you want to work on. Otherwise we'll meet up and chat about our current efforts.

Looking forward to it

Thanks for posting this Brandon. It's always interesting, but especially so close to the release of D7. Hopefully we get a good turnout.

Doh!

Missed it again! How can Tuesday get here so soon after Monday is over?

Summary of meeting

We had a pretty quick meeting on IRC today:

  1. Discussed 4 issues that it would be good to see fixed for D7.

* Screen reader users need a clear, quick way to disable the overlay
* Add missing form element titles for accessibility
* WCAG violation: Relying on a color by itself to indicate a field validation error
* "unpublished" status of rendered entities is not accessible

  1. I gave a rationale for why we removed ARIA roles from the current Overlay implementation.

* Not working properly now, and may do more harm than good for some users if not implemented properly.

Thanks for sharing these notes. And thanks for starting to file some of these D8 issues too, like Require #title for all form elements.
