Mike Conlon (Migrated from VIVO-1540) said:

VIVO should move toward AA level compliance with W3C Guidelines available here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/

This might start with a review of the presentation layer by accessibility experts, followed by identification fo remediation tasks, prioritizing and staffing the tasks.

What is meant by "presentation layer"? Tenderfoot?

Mike Conlon said:

Whatever presentation layers we provide as part of the released product. 1.10 has two themes wilma (default) and tenderfoot (beta). Our default theme should move toward accessibility.

I suggest to postpone this task after decoupling of front-end and back-end.
