It introduces the WP-Accessible Project, which aims to help developers build accessible sites by providing accessible themes, plugins and fixes. The project also seeks to create a community around accessibility and provide documentation for disabled developers. So far, the project has developed some accessible default themes and plugins, identified accessibility issues, and worked on improvements to WordPress itself. The document encourages participation by joining discussions, donating time or money, and considering accessibility when writing code.

A Delicious Tale
1) Steve Schachter created the early bookmarking site Del.icio.us in 2003 which introduced the concept of social bookmarking.
2) Del.icio.us grew rapidly and was acquired by Yahoo in 2005. However, Yahoo later announced plans to shut down Del.icio.us.
3) The shutdown announcement worried many Del.icio.us users as they relied on it for bookmark storage and sharing. However, migrating bookmarks to alternative services like Diigo proved easy due to Del.icio.us' open APIs and data standards.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
