Accessibility

Accessibility is the responsibility of the I-Team, beginning with UX, DEV and QA, to ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

  1. Is the feature fully keyboard accessible?
    (Ex: "I can go everywhere and use every function using the keyboard only"

    <START TYPING HERE>
  2. Have I specified visual alternatives for the case that the specified feature includes audio as output?
    <START TYPING HERE>
  3. Are text alternatives for all icons and graphics available?
    <Start typing here>
  4. Don't provide important information in colors alone
    (Ex: marking important information hard coded in red)

    <START TYPING HERE>
  5. Does the specified feature respect system settings for font, size, and color for all windows and user interface elements?
    <START TYPING HERE>
  6. Have I ensured that flash rates do not exceed 2 hertz for blinking text, objects, or other elements? In any case, try to avoid flashing UI elements
    <START TYPING HERE>
  7. Ensure that assistive technology (AT) (like ZoomText or Orca) is able to read everything.
    <START TYPING HERE>

QUESTIONS?

If you need help while designing, implementing or testing the accessibility of the UI, ask/visit:

  1. The accessibility check list at the OpenOffice.org Wiki
  2. accessibility@ui.openoffice.org (The accessibility mailing lists, preferred)
  3. For specific implementation details, architecture: mt@openoffice.org (Malte Timmermann)
  4. For specific UX and testing questions: es@openoffice.org (Éric Savary)
