Hey y'all. My Google Summer of Code proposal (see Drupal for All) has been accepted, so I will be working on improving the accessibility of Drupal 7 in a few areas this summer. Mainly I plan on making accessible sub-themes of the core themes, accessible content creation (through a wysywig editor), and making Views more accessible (or at least the output). I probably will not start the actual coding until the program officially begins (May 28). This will give me some time to analyze the problems and possible solutions; which is good because I've got a lot to learn.

Anyways, I'm excited about this learning opportunity. And I'm looking forward to getting to know this community, and hopefully making the web a little more usable for everybody.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here, on IRC, the issue queue.. So many places..

hopefully the accessibility enhancements for the themes can be worked back into core.
I installed the CKeditor tool recently via the WYSIWYG module and it's had some good reviews for accessibility. Has a good accessibility statement too.
views... Yes, lots to do there. Hopefully adding some structure to the editor or looking at integrating/updating tools like Semantic Views or Simple Views.

Looking forward to your contributions!
