.LRN Zen Project - YEF

Overview

This page is being used to track the work done for the .LRN Zen Project Phase Two with money received from the YEF grant. The grant will cover work to make the latest forums package conform to WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards. The goal is to finish the project in time to apply for a large YEF grant in the next cycle - June 2011.

Current Status

• Overall status
• Dave reviewed all of the WCAG 2.0 Guidelines document to get a better understanding of the scope of this project.
  The good news is that since we use consistent templates, forms, etc most of the code is automatically generated and we can make the code generators compliant and just check the output. 
  He's modified the spreadsheet list to combine the checklist and functional steps because it was recommended to go straight to the WCAG documents.
