Description
Description of the issue
The platform needs an accessibility audit in order to see how good/bad the platform ranks in that matter, as this is an important topic and there hasn't been a real focus on accessibility until now.
Open questions
- Does the platform need to comply to the European Accessibility Act directives?
- If yes, it needs to conform to EN 301 549, meaning it should rely on WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards (maybe WCAG 2.2 in the future).
- It doesn't look like it does, though, but it is still recommended to follow these guidelines
- Do will still develop the platform from a desktop-first perspective? Does mobile view also have to be included in the audit?
Ideas of solution
- Add accessibility page to documentation (with assessment section). See #1709
- Conduct general audit on the whole platform
- Fix quick issues
- Open issues for more complicated problems
Workflow checklist
- I am aware of the workflow in CONTRIBUTING.md
