@w3c_wai @gbla11yday Hey Hidde, looks like you are on the beta site. That isn't all quite sorted yet which will be why you are getting the 404

@askryanair Sure, another 5 hours waiting for a DM response won't add much to the 6 months.

Hi @askryanair, After missing my fathers funeral because you cancelled a flight and waiting more than 6 months, when might I expect you to bother compensating me with what you are legally required to? Would love to know.

[Kevin White @KevinWhite]

Eek!

@accessibleweb @designcouncil Everything is an H1 😀

[Kevin White @KevinWhite]

@designcouncil @accessibleweb Just highlights the problem with automated testing tools. They have their place in your approach to a11y but they aren't the whole solution.

@Access_Rhodes Never been sure what the point of 'partial' compliance was. I flagged this at the original policy consultation (iirc) and have continually been perplexed by it. It is either 'met' or 'not met'.

I just love these videos!!

We are expanding the accessibility team in Scottish Government 🎆. New post for an accessibility researcher is currently live with a closing date of 30th Mar https://t.co/hRQiC7eWW8

@FrankElavsky In general I agree that there is much more to deal with. My suspicion is colour blindness is a focus as it is easy to demonstrate and easy to fix. If we could get chart creators to do even this one simple thing it would be a help as the mods do help others not just colour blind.

@LeonieWatson Agree, sadly seen instances where research was effectively done with fake people. I think there are types of research that lead to such terms: testing with end users, testing with specialist assistive tech users or validating against previous research expressed using personas.

@hrobertking @LeonieWatson If there are “normals” that are test participants, are those who are not participants not normal? “Normals” is such a dreadful term when applied to people.

@stevefaulkner @a11yScotland Oh hell yes!!!! Shouldn’t that be beginners tip though?

Attending the @scotlandis Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Really good to be part of something so positive. Looking forward to seeing some initiatives coming out of this!

[Kevin White @KevinWhite]

@yatil I think this reflects something I have been seeing more and more of: front end devs who don't know HTML. Only going to get worse.

[Accessibility Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @a11yScotland]

Big thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal for our #a11yScotland digital meet-ups so far!

We'll be in touch soon pals.

We plan to run more than one event, so if you have a proposal for a talk, or even just an idea, then read on👇
