🆕👋 START HERE: Welcome to the Accessibility Category

[queenofcorgis]

Welcome!

This category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools, and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.

What is new

You may have seen some new faces around the category — all those folks are Hubbers committed to improving the digital accessibility of our product and its features. Some other changes we’ve added:

• Updated our category form for you to select which feature of GitHub your post refers to. Our action automatically adds a label to it based on your selection, making it easier for the relevant team(s) to review your feedback.
• We also went through the backlog of posts, ensuring members saw resolutions and got answers! Those who submitted feedback had it logged with the team. Thanks to everyone for their patience.

Those won’t be the only changes coming to the category, stick around for some exciting new opportunities to connect with our team and provide us feedback.

What is accessibility?

Accessibility is about creating highly usable products for all of our customers, no matter their physical or cognitive ability. If you're new or curious about this topic, you might enjoy the W3C's Introduction to Web Accessibility.

If you have a suggestion for improvement, a feature request, or just want to share your thoughts, start a new discussion. We love hearing from our customers with lived experience!
