The WordPress AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) Team holds weekly office hours. These are an opportunity for anybody to show up and ask questions about broad accessibility issues, outside the scope of any specific WordPress ticket or issue. There is no agenda for these sessions; a member of the team will start the meeting and then simply remain available to respond if anybody asks a question.
