Excellent. For quite some time, especially after being influenced by a couple of colleagues' and an English Wikipedia admin's work, I personally developed a feeling of strong support for activities related to accessibility, so this makes me delighted. Thanks for informing about this development. Congratulations to the user group.
(Thinking out loud, this portion, not to anyone in specific, I might post a longer version on the talk page as well) This is an excellent scope to work with Manual of Style accessibility ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility) and capable of providing important feedback related to accessibility and user experience. I am somewhat crazy and dream one day all/majority Wikipedia article images will have proper alt text. I randomly add ALT texts now and then. If an event is conducted with a challenge to NNNN alt text, or any specific accessibility-related editing activity (lists, colors, text etc) I'd be happy to join.) PS: Note I have made a couple of very minor formatting changes in the UG page on Meta-Wiki. Thanks Tito Dutta Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind me over email or phone call.
