Accessibility Plans for Launchpad
As you are probably aware, ``accessibility'' is a measure of how possible it is for people with disabilities to receive the information presented by, in this case, a web site.
I started using Launchpad because it provides exactly what my project needs and is also accessible (CSS for layout, tables only when necessary, simple layout and navigation). It seems that the Code of Conduct would impart the attitude that (as with Ubuntu) we should try to afford access for as many people as we can. Launchpad already goes a long way towards this, in my opinion and that of the other developer of our project (AGRIP), who happens to be totally blind.
The purpose of this question is to find out if there is a part of the development team of Launchpad responsible for ensuring that Launchpad remains as accessible as it is now, or even improves in this area. Is there such a team? If not, could we, the users, be involved in discussions on how to maintain and even improve accessibility?
One suggestion I have is providing skip links and access keys to allow skipping of navigational elements, so that blind users can easily get to the main content of the page without their screen readers having to read out all of the menus. As I said, the service is already very good on this front, but I do feel that implementing this feature would make things rock maximally.
So, the question is, again: ``What measures are being taken to ensure and promote accessibility in Launchpad and how can we, the users help?''
