Description

I see that you have an issues label for accessibility issues. And that's fantastic to see. It's still pretty rare for projects and communities to look for accessibility issues.

My question is whether or not there are any community guidelines or expectations for commits and contributors as it relates to accessibility. e.g. any scan requirements, any spec requirements (e.g. WCAG 2.1), etc. I don't see any text in the read.me nor contributing.md.

Any guidance you can provide is appreciated.

Contributor guide

Open the contributing guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reading README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, the two files named in the issue. Compare their existing contributor guidance with the questions about accessibility scans and WCAG 2.1. Done means the repository's accessibility expectations are clearly documented in the appropriate guide.
