Accessibility

[guilegatan]

A colleague recently reported they had an accessibility audit of their webservices and LibreBooking did not fully comply. I still have to get the full report, but I just wanted to ask if this could be tackled in the foreseeable future? Of course depending on how severe the report grades the missing features.

Thanks in advance.

We believe that with the project of updating to Bootstrap 5, accessibility has improved. It would be good to review the full report to take it into account.

Sorry for the delay. I had to read the audit summary and translate the relevant points to English. These things where criticised:

• some buttons and icons have no description (aka "alt"-info)
• on most subpages H1 headings are missing
• tables have no defined headers (aka sections)
• color coding is used for information (i.e. on the schedule-page for Open, Blocked, Reserved, My Reservation, etc.)
• nearly no explicit keyboard control possible (i.e. omitting use of a mouse)
• no skiplinks
• distance between certain clickable items is too narrow
• form-elements have no label or it is omitted by screenreaders, and forms have no visible description
• some labels only have placeholder text
• multiple use of same ID elements
• success messages are not focused or read automatically by screenreaders

This sounds a lot to me, and I am not sure if these things can be realized at all. Especially because the summary omitts specific links or screenshots, so I cannot be 100% sure of certain problems.

Thanks in advance to whoever is willing to help with these issues!
