Description

I am implementing an instance of CKAN for an organization that requires that it meets [WCAG 2.0 Level AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). The idea is that CKAN could by default meet this standard or other similar standards. This might not even entail further development, but instead just doing an [accessibility evaluation](https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/) on certain standards to verify that CKAN already meets those standards.

If anyone else is also working on developing CKAN to meet an accessibility standard I would love to get in touch.

The current approach at my organization is to use [Web Experience Toolkit](https://wet-boew.github.io/v4.0-ci/index-en.html) with CKAN to help reach WCAG 2.0 Level AA. This approach seems to be mostly on the front-end with a customization of CSS and some JS components. After implementing Web Experience Toolkit there would still be some customization to fully meet the standard.
