6. Roadmap for eXo European laws required all governmental websites must accessible by A pril 2012 eXo Products will be certificated “ Accessible ” using = WCAG 2.0 Level AA PLF Roadmap - 28/12/2011: Platform 3.5.1 - 29/02/2012: Platform 3.5.2 - 04/04/2012: Platform 3.5.3 = compliance with WCAG 2.0 Level AA

8. Evaluate - Achecker Achecker: - Tool to check Accessibility level on a HTML page - Total number of checkable rules using this tool = 310 - can be used as a Web services REST - free and open source Achecker tool link: http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php (Achecker eXo instance will arrive soon)
9. Evaluate – Achecker Achecker allow us to detect several kind of problems: - Known problems: problems that we are able to detect automatically using Achecker tool, easy to fix most of the time - Potential problems: potential problems that are detected by Achecker, a human check is needed to determine if it is a real problem... Each Achecker rule are describe with a full documentation, access this doc via: http://achecker.ca/checker/suggestion.php?id=[ACHECKER ID]
10. Evaluate – Human checks Tool - Lynx browser - Firefox plugins - Web accessibility toolbar - Web developer tool bar - Wave toolbar - Adesigner Accessibility Test Referential for testers = Test Campaign eXo’s products Automation tools Certificated by an expert Human Check

21. Issues organization in JIRA Very important: - Because regex search doesn't perform a dynamic search, CROSS Team can not provide a correct search result, each team need to work on the issues according to their experience and knowledge - Please, spend time to estimate all issues related to your Products - Focus on the FRONT end (public mode) : work on each issue and keep in mind that the main fixes should be done on the FRONT end files (java if they are used to product html, gtmpl, css, js, html) that are used especially in Public Mode (not login)
22. Best practices No frame Contrast and color Seperation CSS ↔ HTML alt ='' Site map and search engine title W3C validator HTML CSS Javascript alternative Validation from server

27. Best practices - Education Web Accessibility is not an event that happens once and then it's over. It is an ongoing process. Web accessibility will be monitored and maintainted periodically Today : 10% of the World’s population , or 650 million people , live with a disability http://www.un.org/disabilities/convention/facts.shtml
Because next week, Cross team will create issues related to Accessiblity to all team, all Tls need to be informed about this subject.
The objectif of Web Accessibility is help disabilities people to understand the meaning of a web page which means that: understand a text, an image, a video . All user can have equal access to information and functionality, that's why a site is designed, developed, and edited correctlty. About history: There are two major Web standards used today to define accessible Web content for people with disabilities - Section508 is published in nineteen ninety eight by US gouvement electronic and information technology to meet accessibility requirements. - Then W3C published a recommendation for version WCAG version1 and 2 in two thousand eight. This guidelines is recognized as a standard as served as a basis for legislation and evaluation method in many countries, specially in european countries, there are some little changing about accessibility standard, for example in France there is RGAA (called Referentiel), this guidelines created in 2009
WCAG 2 has tree levels: A, double A and triple A , a higher level includes lower level plus some new rules more difficult. The rules containt restrictions utilisation about html tags, CSS, Scripts, Colors and contrast, media like flash, video, also about behavior and presentation. Please note that RGAA rules are the nearly same with WCAG,
Because european laws And the clients need to validate our products Accessible We need to focus with Level AA, it's very important subject for eXo All of gouverment site is late to this standard
CROSS Team had tested many web accessibilty testing tools, comercial version and free version, AChecker is an open source Web accessibility evaluation tool. It can be used to review the accessibility of Web pages based on a variety international accessibility guidelines
Exo's produts will follow a series of test and validation before a certificate by an expert the first step is Automation then Human, finally an expert will certificate accessiblity
when developing any web content, you should start with the basic technology supported and then only provide enhanced features as an option if they user’s browser supports it. This approach is called progressive enhancement. Progressive enhancement doesn’t focus on browser compatibility. Instead, it focuses first on the content, then on presentation of that content, and then on any scripting. This way, regardless of the device or browser a visitor is using, they’ll be able to see your content without any issues. First concentrate on the content structure. By creating well-structured, semantic HTML as the base of your website, you’ll have an easier time with the presentation level of your design. Once your HTML and basic functionality are all set, you’ll want to turn to presentation elements. The vast majority of browsers, including many mobile browsers, support CSS
Accessibility will be always supported on eXo's products Web accessibility will be monitored and maintanted periodically
