accessibility support data #56

Open nitedog opened 7 years ago

nitedog commented 7 years ago

Collecting information about the support for WCAG Techniques in:

Similar to platforms like Can I use but on entire Techniques rather than on browser implementation of specific technology features. For example, Technique ARIA 9 does not only require the browser to implement "aria-labelledby" but also that a particular use of this attribute is supported by assistive technologies.

A prototype "Accessibility Support Database" was previously developed through EU project funds. Concentrated effort would be needed to get crowd sourcing by individuals and organizations in the community.

Since caniuse is maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse one option is to add the wcag techniques data to that. This would provide broader adoption, perhaps.

@svgeesus agreed, and I believe we have the necessary APIs in our tool. The question is how can we get the snowball rolling on crowd-sourcing.

AFAICT there is active work in this space in the ARIA and Assistive Technologies Community Group - should this be moved to "Incubation"?
