Accessibility has moved up quite a bit in the ranking :-) But it appears that Plone is looking for a new volunteer to own the accessibility parts of Plone. Alexander Limi (one of the developers who started Plone in 1999) explains that this would mean: <quote> - Testing for accessibility problems in (preferrably before it is released :) for every release - Filing bugs when you find a particular accessibility problem, preferrably with code examples on how to change the markup, so even people that don't know much about accessibility can fix it - Organize real-world sessions where Plone is tested with screen readers, so people can point out the issues when they find them. (This is aspirational, but would be very effective, I think) You don't really need to be a programmer, but basic knowledge on HTML and CSS is of course useful to write good bug reports. </quote> Any takers?
