Not Foolin’

This month’s #a11ychat will be taking place on April 15th, from 5-6pm EST.  Our topic this month is “Violation or Best Practice?” There are many accessibility standards that are up for debate – are some accessibility issues actually violations or simply a violation of best practice? The Deque team  of Denis Boudreau, Glenda Sims, Todd Liebsch, Paul Adam, and Paul Bohman, are ready with some standards that they themselves have wrangled with, and they’re looking for a second opinion.

Join the debate and help us shed a little light on some cloudy issues.
