Thanks a lot to all community members involved for working on the tender draft! I looked through the draft and it is OK, but I have some comments: It says "The goal of this task would be to improve that up to the state that it could be enabled in non-experimental mode." The checker is not in "experimental" since I think 7.1, so that goal is "done". I would reword that bit.. the checker definitely needs to be further improved. One more objective should also be to implement the accessibility checker also for Impress, Calc and Draw as it needs the ground work for running the checks implemented for those components. If we miss some useful accessibility check then they can easily be added (could be an "interesting" easy hack), but if the ground work is missing, then this is a bigger hurdle that needs an experienced developer to do the work. Also many of the checks are already implemented, if they are using common objects, but without the ground work done, they can't be run. Looking forward to your feedback, Olivier [1] https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00400.html Best regards, Tomaž Vajngerl

I would be very happy to participate as a reviewer. An e-mail chain for this is also in the German group- should we continue there? The tender circulates first among a committee of experts. Since the board of directors is apparently happy to be involved in this step, the proposal is being discussed on this mailing list.

Hallo Heiko, there was a lady in the German community call last year it was me = Susanne Mohn. I reportet the bugs 139007, 140617 and 141386. We need it accessebility free documents for he inplementation of libreoffice in Schleswig-Holstein. The implementation in LO 7.3 is not complete. I would be very happy to participate as a reviewer. An e-mail chain for this is also in the German group- should we continue there? Sorry about my bad english. Susanne -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Heiko Tietze Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11. Mai 2022 09:37 An: board-discuss@documentfoundation.org Betreff: [EXTERN]-[board-discuss] Re: Drafting Tender "Improve the accessibility checker for PDF/UA" I wonder why the other tickets from META bug 139007 are excluded (btw, there is kind of duplicate META bug 101912 with a lot more). Bug 149000 is on hold since you asked UX for input (personally I think Print is over-engineering in respect to the workflow). Bug 148971 about the non-modal window could also be handled per sidebar deck, which I prefer over the modality tweak. An alternative is to insert the issues as annotations/comments in the document. On one ticket we discussed the help on each issue, could be an infobutton (question mark icon) that shows a dialog why this tag is needed and what to do. Three weeks seems underestimated if we expect to solve all issues. Looking at the current UI, I think a bit design work could be beneficial. Some issues are rather warnings (eg. Avoid Footnotes) other are mandatory (No Alt Text). Perhaps we copy the SEO plugin look and feel - or was it the readability checker? - from Wordpress. As reviewers we could invite Christophe Strobbe who comments a lot on these tickets and there was a lady in the German community call last year... don't remember her name. PS: Cannot comment on the NC document.
