davatron5000 commented 11 years ago

Simple, bite-sized snippets of content to teach A11Y in smaller pieces instead of big chunks. We can check them off (using githubs new todo list feature) as we get them finished.

:chart_with_upwards_trend: == A table or chart here would be useful.

Concepts

Basic introductions to various concepts. What is it? Why does it exist?

Quick, tiny, easy improvements for maximum ROI

More in-depth, yet simple articles on HOW-TO use/create something.

thomassjogren commented 11 years ago

I've composed a quick tip on maximum-scale, but how do you want it? The gist url or some other way? I'm not sure what workflow you are using for posts. :smile:

Btw. I tried to follow the basic layout of the already existing posts. If you wouldn't mind checking it and report back any issues with it.

Another link regarding title attribute usage: http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2013/01/using-the-html-title-attribute-updated/

p4bl1t0 commented 10 years ago

An idea for a post could be:

HOWTO: Correctly label input types

Including labels, hints (formats or required messages), error message, etc.

Good resource for ARIA-Live https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Live_Regions

chrisdemars commented 8 years ago

I can definitely see myself writing some posts. I will come up with some ideas and content.

RachelRVasquez commented 8 years ago

Hmm I think I'm going to give Color Contrast a try!

bupkes commented 8 years ago

Hello. Just wanted to introduce myself, apologies if this is inappropriate. I am very new to Github and so am struggling to work out where/how to help with this project (eg I've never done a pull request or filed an issue and that sort of thing). I have been working for the past few years teaching blind and partially sighted users how to navigate computers and the web with screenreader software, so I'm hopeful that my experience might be useful. Anyway just saying hi. I'm doing a course on Github on Treehouse soon - once I've done that I should have a better idea what to do! Matt.

joe-watkins commented 8 years ago

@bupkes Welcome :) !!! Yes finish that course and report back.. but until you get a grasp of Git you can contribute. Your experience is priceless. Poke around our issues and chime in.. poke around our website and create issues if you find them. You don't have to be expert coder human to make a difference :)

If GitHub is a barrier feel free to email me directly ideas and such: info/at/joe-watkins.io

jeryj commented 8 years ago

Welcome @bupkes! In our redesign of the a11yproject.com site, we were struggling on the best implementation method for accordion-style collapsable content on mobile devices. There were some quirks with implementation that we thought might give screen reader users a worse experience with the site, so we abandoned it. It'd be great to pick your brain on the topic so we could figure out some solid patterns that give screen reader users and non-screen reader users a great experience.

Thanks for getting in touch and offering to help! Cheers, Jerry

Recommendation to add the following book to the list:

Digital Outcasts: Moving Technology Forward without Leaving People Behind - Kel Smith

inclusiveThinking commented 8 years ago

Greetings. I would like to take "Accessible Typography". I should have a gist about in about a week.

RachelRVasquez commented 7 years ago

Hiya! 👋 I'd like to tackle an ARIA basics article to write. Question about the ARIA basics for roles, states, and properties - how would these differ from their intros? Would we be diving into specific application with examples? E.g. How to use ARIA landmark roles or How to use ARIA states on XYZ?

jpdevries commented 7 years ago

I think clarifying the difference between roles, states, and properties would be of benefit. People often refer to ARIA as "ARIA roles" when I think they usually mean ARIA in general.

kendrick commented 6 years ago

I'll work on a HOWTO for accessible modals.

svinkle commented 6 years ago

@kendrick Sounds good, go for it!

Please create a new issue when you've got something to show, linking your text in a gist for review.

digilou commented 6 years ago

Has High Contrast Mode under AT been taken yet?

svinkle commented 6 years ago

I don't think so, @digilou. Go for it! 🙂

Please create a new issue when you've got something to show, linking your text in a gist for review.

Watso196 commented 6 years ago

Hi all! I work with ARIA during most days of the week and was wondering if the ARIA states article was still up for grabs? I'd love to contribute to a project that myself and my team of developers could use on a regular basis!

svinkle commented 6 years ago

@Watso196 Awesome idea! It's great when you write something then reference later. It could also be a mini series if you're keen; ARIA roles and properties could also use an article.

Either way, I say go for it! 👍

alexroseb commented 5 years ago

@Watso196 Are you still taking the ARIA states/properties? If not, I'd like to write the article about properties at least then potentially expand to articles about states and roles.

scottaohara commented 5 years ago

I think there's enough there that the work could be split up :)

missmatsuko commented 5 years ago

I think some of the unchecked items on the issue are already published.

Basic - Color blindness: https://a11yproject.com/posts/understanding-colourblindness/ Assistive Technology - NVDA: The OpenSource Screen Reader: https://a11yproject.com/posts/getting-started-with-nvda/

sheribyrne commented 5 years ago

If you are still looking for an article on color blindness I published one on Medium a couple of months ago that was picked up by the UX collective and has thousands of reads. https://medium.com/@sheribyrnehaber/color-blindness-considerations-for-designers-and-content-managers-a767ab38a825 I've also done a couple more techy ones on accessibility as measured by 2.1 for toast messages. Haven't done too much on GitHub before, but I will learn

HOWTO: Implementing Audio Descriptions

youriwims commented 3 years ago

Hi there 👋🏽 I've done a few videos on Firefox + A11Y with the Mozilla Developer YouTube channel. Is it okay to re-share them or would it be best to re-shoot them? Also, would I be responsible for the editing or does the A11Y Project provide support?

joe-watkins commented 3 years ago

@youriwims Those are so well done! I love the tone, pace, and how approachable they are!! Awesome work :) You are a great teacher.

ericwbailey commented 3 years ago

@youriwims We can list the videos on our Resources page. And echoing what Joe said, I love these videos!

Would you like to draft up a PR, or is that something you'd like us to do?

youriwims commented 3 years ago

Thank you so much @joe-watkins + @ericwbailey! @ericwbailey I can definitely put up a PR for them—will do soon, thanks!

Taenerys commented 3 years ago

Hi!! I'm new here, would love to take up writing about HOWTO: Use VoiceOver on iOS if no one has claimed this topic yet!

ericwbailey commented 3 years ago

@Taenerys Thanks for volunteering, it's yours! Here's our contribution guidelines for posts, as well as our style guide.

rmleg commented 3 years ago

Hi! I have been working on modal accessibility quite a bit lately and I would love to take a stab at the "HOWTO: Make accessible dialogs and modals" article if it hasn't been claimed yet.

ericwbailey commented 3 years ago

Sounds great!

sheribyrne commented 3 years ago

I'm about to post an article on Medium on accessible form construction. If that is a topic of interest that hasn't been taken yet, let me know and I'll look at those guidelines that are in the earlier response

JSmurf commented 3 years ago

I'd love to write a few posts. I have an idea for the "?? MYTHBUSTED: Accessibility is just turning off CSS ??" item on the list.

davatron5000 commented 3 years ago

@JSmurf Have at it! Feel free to post a PR. Or if you'd rather, open a new issue with a link to an outline or gist of some kind and we can assist. I'll add your name next to the post to "claim" it.

MicheleAWilliams-A11y commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone, I'm Michele (featured on the home page right now for context :P). I'm drafting a blog post about "Everyday Accessibility" that compiles the small steps people can take w/o expertise, particularly on social media and in documents, e.g., using capitals in hashtags and the "ribbon" to make bullets in Word rather than just style them. I find people still aren't aware of even the little details like this and could use a place where they see them listed and are encouraged to take actionable steps. If it's of interest, just let me know the next steps (in GitHub novice detail - LOL). Thanks!

ericwbailey commented 3 years ago

@MicheleAWilliams-A11y That sounds amazing, and we are definitely interested! Here are the next steps for writing a post. If you prefer, we can collaborate via Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or another app as well.

MicheleAWilliams-A11y commented 3 years ago

Wonderful, @ericwbailey - I'm on it! I'll let you know if I run into issues and need to fall back to Word or Docs.

rianrietveld commented 3 years ago

Hi :-) I'd like to propose an article: HOW TO: Accessible heading structure. Is that an idea? To also address the multiple H1 discussion.

Is it possible to tick the checkboxes of the articles already written?

ericwbailey commented 3 years ago

@rianrietveld We'd love that 🙂

And Thanks for the nudge, I'll update the list.

rianrietveld commented 3 years ago

@ericwbailey Thank you!

chollma commented 2 years ago

@ericwbailey, we've chatted about this a little bit. I think it'd be great to add more posts around operationalizing accessibility. Example posts might be:

I'm admittedly not an expert, yet. But would be happy to write a few posts if the audience would find these topics beneficial as they try to gain more support at their organizations.

ericwbailey commented 2 years ago

@chollma These all sound great to me!

jimbateson commented 2 years ago

Hello :)

I was wondering if I might be able to have a go at the "A11y and SEO" item if it's not already been claimed? If so, just checking what the angle was with "Myths" and "myth confirmed"?

I've not done any public writing like this before, but something I'm challenging myself to do more of this year! No worries if it's already been done etc though.

Thanks

davatron5000 commented 2 years ago

@jimbateson Looks like Cooper Hollmair wrote about that one already. https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/accessibility-seo/

Sorry, that's probably on me because I don't stay on top of checking this list off.

jimbateson commented 2 years ago

@davatron5000 no problem at all, thanks for the info :)

I'll keep an eye out for others/have a think about a topic I could suggest.

jimbateson commented 2 years ago

@davatron5000 would I be able to take "HOWTO: Make an accessible <nav> with dropdowns" (couldn't see that one on the site) but apologies if I've missed it :)
