    I gotta leave here. I'll be on: linkedin.com/in/mgifford/ bsky.app/profile/mgiffo… mastodon.social/@mgifford Please follow me on one of those if you don't already. Twitter has become toxic for democracy.

    A2: True inclusion - interesting to even define. 1 big issue is the lack of a feedback loop. The EU's Web Accessibility Directive formalized that process in Europe which is great. The OMB Memo 24-08 highlighted testing with users with lived experience of accessibility. #AXSChat

    A1: we need to do a better job involving the project management team in accessibility. Having PM's understand how #a11y needs to be managed with every sprint (from discovery to the closing retro) is key if we are going to shift accessibility left. #AXSChat
