Accessibillty Questions on the Support Forums
I’ve been trying to think of how we can provide better support for theme devs, plugin authors and site owners on the WordPress forums. I seem to recall someone asking about a dedicated Accessibility forum but, sadly, I don’t think there’s enough in terms of traffic to warrant such a forum yet.
However, what we could do is to use a dedicated tag — ie accessibility — to make finding these kinds of support posts a lot easier. with the RSS feed for the tag pulled into here as well. I could also ask the support forum mods to add the tag to any topic that they felt needed special attention.
Thoughts?
Nelson, and 4 others are discussing.

I think that’s a great idea
As forum mods, we should (could) be betetr about tagging things too.

That seems like a great idea to me, too. All my time in the support forums tends to need to be dedicated to plug-in support, so it’s hard for me to do much more than that, but if it was there I’d definitely check in on it periodically.

I’ve added the feed to all accessibility tagged forum posts to the bottom of the sidebar here. Off to ask the forum mod team if they can add the tag where they feel it’s appropriate,.

Absolutely, a great idea!

Yes, we should – it will help quantify the need as well.
