Accessibility

Page for brainstorming

= Goal = To make the Dreamwidth site and features more accessible.

= Background = We need to figure out which parts/features of the site are causing trouble for disabled users, and which features don't cause any problems but can be _improved_ (and how), and which features work great. Fix the problematic features, tweak the things that can be improved, document the good ones so that people will know where to find them/how to use them.

Note that making a site accessible is not the same as making it mobile friendly (and vice versa). While the two goals have some similarities, they are not always compatible.

= Biggest Needs = Someone with experience in accessibility concerns needs to go over the site with a fine-tooth comb, and say what is good and what is bad.
