Ryan Benson: (@rguy84 - Section 508 compliance and #a11y at @CDCgov ) I remember talking to you about accessibility when wp.com was in beta, and the response was eh maybe at some point, paraphrasing of course. #WordPress #accessibility #a11y

Molly: This is not in the least funny to me. I do love and respect my colleagues. But we have all strayed too far off the idealistic path, and have ended up with a hateful, boring and completely unusable, inaccessible Web in my opinion. What say you? xo/m (Molly and Matt, 2004)

The big question is can Gutenberg be made accessible without taking years, or is it better to start from scratch with a progressively enhanced accessible approach to design and development?

It sounds that for you #accessible is a binary state? Either it is or it isn't? Or am I ready too much into it. #a11y ICYMI: @matias_ventura published about Gutenberg's accessibility here: make.wordpress.org/core/2018…

Accessibility is the Web, full stop. As in everyone can access it, no matter what software, OS, location, economic status, ability. End of story. It's not binary at all. It's called QUALITY DEVELOPMENT.

After reading Matias' post, what in your view is missing? Would you be available for testing? make.wordpress.org/core/2018… If why not reach out to @tofumatt

I already offered my assistance. It was rebuked. Thank you.

Here is another opportunity for you:-) You seem to care enough for me to be encouraged to point this out to you. Totally get if you are done getting involved. Happy Saturday!

Thank you so much for the kindness and support it means a great deal. Unfortunately, my health is so bad I live in a senior center at 55 years old and I'm unable to work. I will do everything I can in terms of advocacy however.

Your advocacy is a great contribution in itself! 🦄 Keep up the awesome! 🤗 (BTW, the photo with @photomatt from 2004 is hilarious) 🤣🤣
