The Accessibility Project is a community–driven effort to make web accessibility easier. We attempt to make #A11Y tips and tricks easier to digest and leveraging a community of developer knowledge.
Our goal is to accomplish this with 3 tenets in mind:
- Digestible. Articles on accessibility tend to be in-depth. We feature short, digestible pieces of content.
- Up-to-date. The project is hosted on Github so information can be current with the latest standards.
- Forgiving. People make mistakes and web accessibility is hard, so we seek to be encouraging.
Everything you need to know about contributing to this project can be found in our Contributor Docs.
In order to contribute to the website’s codebase, you’ll need to know a bit about Jekyll Sass, Markdown, and some Command Line-fu. You'll also need to know how to install Ruby Gems and of course have Ruby installed on your machine.
Use the bundle command to install the necessary gems for the A11Y Project. If you don't have bundler installed you'll need to run gem install bundler before using bundle.
