Do we have more specific plans regarding accessibility. Currently there's no mailling, as far as I can find. Accessibility is a broad topic, for example using free license, and projects like Wikipedia Zero might be presented as accessibility facilities. There are also attention which is given to places where events are conducted, Esino Lario for example made huge developments to make the site accessible. But surely here as we are talking of UX and design, this is more focused on web accessibility. By the way we have a MOOC on the French wikiversity regarding accessibility and the English version seems to have some material. Please share whatever this message inspire you. :)
Topic on Talk:Design/Statement of purpose
Good point, but do you think usability already covers accessibility?
Well, semantically speaking, you certainly can say that usability covers accessibility (and you may do the reverse statement as well I guess). Now there are topics that are clearly more an accessibility subject (is the page content browsable with a braille terminal) and other more on the UX side (is the edit functionality of the mobile app convenient enough). Having something which is convenient for most users can sometime clash with accessibility principles. Of course, as much as possible, it's preferable to have a solution which works better for everybody. So, to my mind, having dedicated mailing list and teams for both subject would make sense.
Thanks for the suggestion and perspective, @Psychoslave. The main purpose behind the conversation we're trying to have now around the draft statement of purpose is to understand whether or not the themes design is trying to address are the correct ones, and whether or not they are adequately reflected in the statement itself. Suggestions about specific and practical actions to take around those themes are certainly valuable, but for our purposes here, I am curious: do you think accessibility is adequately reflected/addressed in the statement of purpose?
