Contributing to the Accessibility of WordPress

WordPress is by far the most widely used Content Management System, with tens of millions of websites based on this software. All visitors should be able to browse the content of these websites, even people with disabilities, and by default WordPress should ease full access to all information for everyone.

But this is not enough: people with disabilities should even be able to create blogs, websites and apps using WordPress without meeting extra difficulties, because everyone has the right to make their own voice heard in spite of their situation.

All of the above explain why ten years ago the Accessibility Team was born within the WordPress Community. The Accessibility Team is a group of volunteers who share their skills to improve the accessibility of the entire project.

But what is WordPress commitment to accessibility? What does the Accessibility Team do? Is it possible to get involved? Starting from his personal experience, Stefano will describe how, week after week, a few contributors team up to improve the accessibility of WordPress.
