Update on accessibility-ready theme tag

We’re gradually working the kinks out of the process. There was an oversight in the automated process that added the 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)-ready keyword to themes, so that only new themes were automatically getting the keyword, and not updated themes that added it. That’s been fixed, which will improve our ability to note themes that need to go through the review process.

There’s a lot of support for the process, and the theme review team is invested in making this work, but I could use some backup in actually doing the reviews. Even if you don’t have the accessibility background, let me know if you’re interested: I’m happy to provide training to make sure you’ve got the knowledge it takes to do this review.

Discussion about Analysis of what gets into the alt and title attributes when adding an image into a page/post by @grahamarmfield. Excellent work.

Discussion about what is needed to move Create new tag: accessible-ready @sams suggested that we should find an owner and get it in as soon as 3.9 development opens. He also suggested that we look at the patch in #21442 to see what’s needed.

I’ve been chatting with Chip Bennett via the Theme Review list about the Theme Audit guidelines. With his feedback (which was from the theme author and reviewer perspective, and very valuable) and the feedback from the comments on my previous post, I’ll be working on the next version with a variety of changes of various types. He’s going to be proposing some changes to the general guidelines that will obviate the need for a couple of the elements in the accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities.
