I entered this epic because it appears on the Sys Ops and Management tab of the v1 roadmap. That said, I am going to close it as a duplicate because I think it is superseded by the epics on the Accessibility tab.

Khalilah Gambrell - do you have any sense for when FOLIO might attain WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance?

Comment by Khalilah Gambrell [ 21/May/20 ]

Mike Gorrell, my hope is FOLIO can state it full supports most of WCAG 2.1 AA by October/November. But we need:
1.) Teams to run their apps through an accessibility checker and address bugs.
2.) Have a group or third party vendor review FOLIO against all WCAG A and AA guidelines
3) Teams follow the Accessibility dev documentation https://github.com/folio-org/stripes-components/blob/master/docs/AccessibilityDevPrimer.md#development-checklist

Common issues we have are tied to web development best practices such as all form elements must have labels. Other issues require some stripes work like reflow and focus issues.
