[IL-Talk] THE A11Y (Accessibility) PROJECT

[dan.tevelde at comcast.net]

Thanks for sharing this. There are lots of other A11Y resources out there. Just search for A11Y. There is also a Chicago A11Y home page and meetup group. Anyone is welcome to attend. Right now the meetings are virtual but they usually meet somewhere in the Loop.  The next meeting is next Wednesday at 6 PM. I'm not sure if I will be able to attend though.

Subject: [IL-Talk] THE A11Y (Accessibility) PROJECT

Good morning everyone,

>From this morning's (Friday 2020-10-23) Internet Scout Report.

THE A11Y PROJECT
	SCIENCE
www.a11yproject.com <http://scoutr.pt/g93173> The A11y Project is named for the numeronym for "accessibility" (the 11 designates the letters between the "a" and "y"). The name encapsulates the project's mission as "a community-driven effort to make digital accessibility easier," which is especially important because accessibility is "often overlooked in traditional digital design and development education." Readers looking to make accessible and beautiful digital projects can do just that with help from A11y's resources. The site's contents are divided into three main sections. The Posts section resembles a traditional blog, with tips, guides, and general information. 

The Checklist section follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to provide guidance for increasing the accessibility of websites. The Resources section has copious content, and the left-side panel will be very beneficial to users looking to narrow down the materials. For example, users can find books and podcasts in the Media section, or browse design apps and advice in the Tools section. The A11y project was launched in 2013 and redesigned in 2020. More information on the creators and contributors is available on the Team page (linked at the bottom of the site). [EMB]
