Squashing Accessibility Bugs in HTML 5

Friday, 01 October 2010

Joshue O Connor recently joined the HTML Accessibility (A11y) Bug Triage Sub Team in the W3C

The Bug Triage sub-team reviews bugs entered in bugzilla that may relate to the mission of the task force. Bugzilla is a system that allows us to track issues within HTML 5 and other specifications.

Major activities are:

  • Review bugs that appear to be related to accessibility, to determine whether the task force needs to take ownership of the bug;
  • Monitor new bugs entered for relevance to the task force mandate;
  • Provide additional information about task force bugs when the issue is unclear;
  • Determine whether the task force should push back on bugs whose proposals are rejected, and if so carry out the necessary steps;
  • Check that the action for fixed bugs is acceptably carried out;
  • Raise issues to the overall task force as needed.
  • The HTML A11y Bug Triage sub group meets weekly to track new and existing bugs in the HTML 5 specification that relate to accessibility.
