    [donnabungard] Tonight - join me with the Northern VA / DC Meetup group hosted by Bixel and zoom provided by Panteon (for those of us a little too far to come for beer) for a round table discussion about the rights & responsibilities document Ive been chipping away at and other ways to make accessibility more accessible to businesses. https://www.meetup.com/drupal-dc/events/243121113/

    [morgan] Hi all :)
    What is a decent way to express datetime in the markup so that the assistive technology gets it right?

    [morgan] thank you but I have the issue that voice over it get the date right but the time is announced digit by digit. Is it expected behaviour?
  5. [david.laforest] can you paste your code?

    [morgan] oops sorry even with the correct date <time datetime="2017-02-12T16:30">12.02.2017 16:30</time> it still announce one six three zero
  15. [morgan] maybe it's a voice over issue, or maybe that's the expected way
  16. [david.laforest] spelling issue aren't WCAG non compliance
  17. [morgan] @david.laforest I fixed the typo and tested again already ;)

    [kara.franco] Quick audio description question: If a website has a 10 second silent video on the homepage of content that tells a story of the product/place/etc, such as this example site http://supima.com/, would an audio description need to be linked (accessible to a screenreader, either above or below the video) or would the video itself need the audio description (and controls such as turn on audio description or mute)?

    [blind3y3design] Is the video itself important content? If so, it should have all of the same considerations as any other type of content for non-sighted users. If it's mostly decorative (I'd consider the example to be decorative, it's not informational, or "important" to the ultimate goal) then it should be left blank much like decorative images.
