Description
I have been looking into Accessibility concerns with Jupyter and it seems that there was some work done at some point to address accessibility concerns. I did find some Aria tags for instance. My guess is this was done a bit back or it was never validated that enough was done.
The current state isn't great on the accessibility front. I had the opportunity to work with an individual who browses through a screen reader and their experience with Jupyter was sub par. It was incredibly difficult to know what cell they were in, what type the cell was, where they were in the cell, etc.
Has Jupyter ever attempted to meet either Section 508 or WCAG 2.0? From what I understand these things are important to government and educational spaces so I was curious if there are plans to address these sort of issues?
