Usability

Is there a standard for keyboard activation of drop-down menus? We are using multiple drop-down menus from various sources which behave differently from one another. Technically speaking, each individual jump menu is WCAG 2.0 AA accessible because it can be navigated keyboard-only, but the technique for opening the menu varies from menu to menu.

I can't imagine that to be a pleasant experience for site visitors, but I also can't seem to find documentation from an authoritative source for a standard menu-open behavior that could (theoretically) be applied across all drop-down menus.

Is there a standard? Where is it documented? If there is no standard, is there a way to force a single behavior across incompatible drop-downs or else enable forgiving actions? If not, is there a reasonable way, e.g., through appropriate ARIA labeling, to communicate the correct way to access a particular drop-down menu without forcing the site visitor to figure it out for themselves?

I despair of keyboard-only visitors being able to achieve mastery of drop-down menus on websites.

Simplenews "Send" button can be easily activated without confirm, sending wrong newsletter by mistake.

I'm proposing to implement some kind of protection.

It's essentially undocumented on the web and in Drupal that a content editor who uploads an image can make a required alt text produce an empty alt tag with "" in the alt text field.

I think it would be a much better editor experience to have a checkbox: "This image is decorative and provides no information not already present in text."

This would then produce the empty alt tag for them.

It would also help people learn about the purpose of alt text (and maybe make us think more about using images that do provide some value).

Continuing from where we left, you are welcome to join on 22nd August for Virtual Drupal contribution Hour.

Every month it's great to make some progress in our journey to contribute back to our Drupal community.

Our aim is to make Drupal developers aware of the contribution benefit, how can they enhance their professional and personal skills.

Our focus is to introduce how to commit the first patch to Drupal.org for the people who have introduced to Drupal already. If you are associated with Drupal, now it is your time to pay back the community. Be a Drupal Contributor !!

Our aim is to make Drupal developers aware of the contribution benefit, how can they enhance their professional and personal skills. This could be just a small start but would like to see a few of us take a leadership position within the community.

The project manager plays an important role in ensuring all the team members work on their assigned activities in the appropriate order.

Iterating again, everyone can contribute in every possible way in Drupal. Drupal needs more people to contribute to the community. To continue the growth momentum, as a community we need to work towards building a bigger talent pool of good Drupal developers.

This would be a 4-hour online-only event that will help new contributors get up to speed on giving back to the Drupal project.

Everyone can contribute in every possible way on open source Drupal. Drupal needs more people to contribute from under-represented and marginalized groups within the Drupal Community.

In continuation of the same goal, we at Valuebound organizing Virtual Contribution Day. This would be a 4-hour online-only event that will help new contributors get up to speed on giving back to the Drupal project.

Drupal is a leading open-source platform, mainly focused on building a customer-facing front-end presence on the internet and the integration of the front-end with enterprises back-end operation whereas Artificial Intelligence has the potential to personalize the user experience.

The combination of these two can provide the interactive ecosystem by handling your potential customers interacting with them, studying their behavior and get the maximum ROI.

If you are using Paragraphs and/or Layout Builder in your daily work -- this could be really interesting for you/your Team!

We will work on new Bricks features, allowing to user them together and natively with Paragraphs and Layout API/Builder.

List of tasks: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/search?issue_tags=Bricks%20Sprint%....

Forum Module D8 Do we really need a new module, Forum-Access, to do what permissions should do for FORUM. If I wanted to stop anonymous unauthenticated users from seeing forum posts shouldn't I be able to easily turn that off for anonymous users via permissions or contrariwise, default inability to see until the role 'anonymous user' has been given the permission. I cannot find a Forum Module to see where to point this discussion so I thought it might be a good topic here.... Also put it in chat...
