Congratulations to the new user group! It's great to have a clear destination to refer people to, on matters of vision-impaired use of and contribution to the Wikimedia projects. (I think it would be helpful, for this and other recent groups, to ensure that the designated contacts for the group are clearly identified on the group's Meta page. People shouldn't have to guess how to make contact with the group, and shouldn't just assume the first few names in the members list are the designated contacts.) Cheers, A. Asaf Bartov (he/him/his) Senior Program Officer, Emerging Wikimedia Communities Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Help us make it a reality! https://donate.wikimedia.org On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 9:51 PM Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight < rosiestep.wiki(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

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.
