Vorträge zu #Barrierefreiheit, in österreichischer Gebärdensprache gedolmetscht, gibt es am #ATag diesen September! 🎙️🤟

Anfang des Jahres durfte ich mit einem Vortrag am A-Tag dabei sein. Umso mehr freut es mich, dass es dieses Jahr mit dem A-Tag Light noch eine weitere Edition gibt!

Sei dabei, am 16. September 2025 in Wien (Strandbar Herrmann), von 17 bis 19 Uhr!

ℹ️ Die Veranstaltung ist komplett kostenlos, erfordert aber eine Anmeldung über die Webseite: atag.accessible-media.at/


For me personally – this was a definite inflection point in my career, as I started investing way more into accessibility expertise. For Wagtail, we followed this with a project for a large govt agency to do even more testing and improvements of the CMS admin. Then got our accessibility team started. Then the accessibility team for @django. An #ATAG audit for Wagtail. Yearly reporting on our accessibility. There’s a long way to go but the journey’s been great already 🌈


The FFG Austria shared insights into their #a11y monitoring of 2023. The top detected issues, including 2 new ones, were:

1. Info and relationships
2. Non-text content
3. Name, role, value
4. Logical order when using a keyboard
5. Visible focus (new)
6. Text contrast
7. Keyboard (new)

Here is their website with the whole report (in German): ffg.at/digitale-barrierefreihe…

#ATAG



I like the early #accessibility tips from fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediver… especially the bits at the end where admins can add CSS to help support their authors to create better content.

I wonder if there are more tools to help authors create more accessible content. #ATAG 2.0 is really powerful, yet old school social media hasn't adopted it.
