[somelaniesaid] I was just thinking earlier today we could offer a11y help to different projects, maybe go through the projects on codeforamerica.org, test for a11y, and submit PRs
[somelaniesaid] I'm still just a baby a11y person but every little bit helps
@jnurthen I have no idea how to do even simple things like that on windows.
However, it seems all that really happens is the URLs pointing to resources don't adjust for where they're stored, so not permisisons but something else
like, if I save a web page, I get webpage.html and webpage_files or some similar named dir. webpage.html points to stuff in webpage_files, but sometimes the paths are relative and they end up pointing to whatever home is on Windows rather than webpage_files.
For some reason it just tends to work on Linux, I assume the saving browser adjusts the URLs.
I remember looking at it while at UT a few years ago. We didn't trial it, but the demo site they showed had some a11y issues I pointed out to them. That said, my favorite part was that it integrated traffic information so you could sort pages to fix by how trafficked they were.
[albert]@somelaniesaid this is awesome. i’ve been involved with cfa for awhile now and they certainly could use the help.
[caesar]@shawn.henning we use it as part of our methodology. It's good for the tests that can be automated... of course we still manually filter through the results for false positives, but I like the write ups they have on each of the issues
[caesar] As far as tools go, the standalone version is not bad at something like $500-600 ish I think, from memory
