Actions review
GitHub Projects: django accessibility improvements, All Table
Agenda
- Djangonaut Space
- Accessibility issues with page navigation on News page · Issue #2507 · django/djangoproject.com · GitHub → example issue that got “vultured”
- Can only assign people who are either in the org or have interacted with the issue → djangonaut can leave a comment in the issue and then Eli can assign them
- Thibaud has some ideas but has to write them down
- Tom broke the last barriers for starting to work on JS / CSS formatting
- Adding a formatter for CSS & JS
- Logical properties could be tricky, more prone to cause regressions
- Visual regression test suite would be helpful
- Maybe BackstopJS
- “There’s always regressions any time I change CSS” -Tom
- PSF email thread: they want to do more a11y stuff and reached out
- Sarah, Thibaud, Saptak in the email thread
- Saptak took a look at the document linked in the email, it’s more focused on the accessibility of the events (PyCons, etc.) and adding an accessibility statement
- Sarah and Saptak to answer email
- Website redesign
- Thibaud started making a record of the components (UI inventory). So far he’s got 65
- Automate screenshot taking of the components
- Automation-driven project so that other people can reproduce more easily
- This was done with Crawlee
- With DjangoCon Europe soon and DCUS starting to organize, do we want to move this forward again? New content: Accessibility guidelines for talks · Issue #2053 · django/djangoproject.com · GitHub
- Turn into template view → good djangonaut space task
- Reach out to conference organizers to remind them of the guidelines
- hello@djangocon.us for DCUS
- content@djangocon.eu for DjangoCon Europe
- Eli to open PRs against conference websites to add link to guidelines
- Sage working on Pa11y C1 for the website
- Work is currently on Sage’s fork
- Do we merge this after fixing all the issues, or do we merge with red CI check ?
- Disable contrast checks
- Thibaud says they’re not super reliable
- the color contrast issues depend on the website redesign
- Sage to make PR
- Website WG does not own deployment of website
- Maybe run Pa11y CI once a week for now
