We have started a new interest group. The first meeting was held last month on Saturday April 9th from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. This is a group for technical people who are interested in making sure that their website are accessible.

The next meeting with be held on Saturday, May 14th at the library from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.


John F Croston III will present "Is your website accessible? If not, practical ways to make it so." talk. He will go over the main ideas and pieces of code you need in an HTML page to make them accessible, which include things like skip navigation, adding proper headings (h1 - h6), ARIA landmark roles, and form items like fieldset, legend, and labels, etc.

Karl Groves is the facilitator of this group.
