What

To continue USWDS's position as an industry leader in design and UX best practices for federal spaces, we will create an adaptable accessibility strategy which encompasses the following elements:

• Overview of laws and guidelines/requirements
• Baseline compliance and accessibility statement
• Audiences Served
• Prioritizing accessibility concerns or issues
• Principles for increasing accessibility
• Being pro-active for implementing future WCAG updates and guidelines into the system
• How we test with disabled users (coming later)
• Conducting performance metrics for compliance (coming later)

Done when

---

• We've established a process for recruiting and compensating test participants
• We have 1 or 2 strong partnerships with organizations to aid in recruitment
• We've implemented the process successfully for at least one study

Any chance we can hope to see new features here like:

• dark mode support
• ability to adjust font size or change font
• new SkipTo links

There are other things too, but how new features I think would be part of the strategy doc.
