Ensure CHAOSS front-end components are accessible for visually impaired users #198

Closed mpgjon closed 3 years ago

mpgjon commented 5 years ago

To ensure CHAOSS is inclusive and accessible, dashboard layouts, and front end components should be reviewed for accessibility by visually impaired users.

Acceptance Criteria should include: Given that a component of CHAOSS has a front end page When that page is reviewed using for browser Zoom (at minimum) Then that page is still navigable and readable for visually impaired users

For pages that need changes in order to be accessible, separate issues should be opened:)

These are great. Thanks @mpgjon Are there online resources that you use to help ensure this?

mpgjon commented 5 years ago

@germonprez - yep! the magnifier built into browsers is really the best way to do this - just crank up the zoom level on browsers and see if it's still workable (Firefox = Window>Zoom, etc).

The rest of the tools out there for visually impaired access are mostly all screen readers, which we should ideally make front-ends accessible to; but as noted on my #192 comment - I'm just not sure how screen readers could communicate content of dynamic graphs (afaik, this is not possible at this time).

Got it. Thanks for this detail.

I am thinking that it would make sense to open an issue each for GrimoireLab and Augur in their respective repositories.

sgoggins commented 4 years ago

@GeorgLink : I do not think there are issues open on the tools. What do you think? @klumb : Do we know about the main website?

GeorgLink commented 4 years ago

I don't think the issues were created yet. When the issues are created, it would be good to reference this issue here to show the relationships.

Just wanted to drop a note in here that we should also check for color-blindness. Apps like Colorblindly and Sim Daltonism can help. Should we open an issue in the website repo for this?

germonprez commented 4 years ago

Yes, likely a good thing to add to the website repo -- that is, add the issue there.
