While we believe #Accessibility should be a key component of any project from the outset, one of the advantages of open source is that those with the knowledge are able to contribute to projects to help address shortcomings. @wireshark is "The world's most popular #network protocol analyzer", and a fellow #OpenSource project. Do we know any #A11y coders with an interest in #Networking willing to give them a hand with accessibility? See their post here: fosstodon.org/@wireshark@ioc.e #FOSS

accessibility question, please boost!

for folks who rely on screen readers, or otherwise rely on alt text of images for any reason: what is the best way to write alt text for an infographic that contains a lot of data or text?

Trying to take a look at ways to measure contrast and accessibility of maps.

Here, looking at OpenStreetMap tiles, and contrast

Used QGIS raster calculator to convert to greyscale (by luminance), then applied the whiteboxtools 'range filter' with a 3x3 kernel

Colourised with Rocket colour scale. Yellow and white show the highest contrast, black is areas of solid colour.

@ashleemboyer the topic of "which tools will work best for collaboration/work/discussion" is one that keep bubbling up (almost as often as the dreaded "isn't it ironic that the acronym #a11y is itself inaccessible?"). there have been many attempts at using various approaches - from the original (horrid) closed mailing lists of old, to the more open public ones, to forums/discussion boards, shared google docs, and indeed github ... 1/

seeing discussions around how "members of the public (tm)" are prevented from taking part in standards development, because tools like github (where discussion/development happens) may not be familiar to them. while i understand the sentiment, i'd hazard a guess that these members of the public won't understand how the sausage is made, and will be frustrated by the consensus-driven standards development ... it's not just a "let me tell you about MY lived experience" thing #a11y #accessibility
