Our favourite statistic this year is how much our built-in checks have improved accessibility of real-world websites. All built-in checks that we have data for are showing improvements compared to 2023 🎉
Coming to #PyCon US? We're going to be there! Core team members @vossisboss and Scott Cranfill will be teaching a workshop on May 15 about making websites more accessible. There will be a poster from @vincesalvino and @thibaudcolas too. Come check it out!
We're working on organizing a Wagtail Open Space as well, so stay tuned here for the location and time! We'll let you know as soon as we sign up for a space.
@saptaks@kushal I am in town already. I am spending time time with my sister's family though so I won't really be around the conference area until tomorrow.
“I would love to have the environmental impact numbers for Drupal, that the Wagtail has for Wagtail”
@mgifford speaking about accessibility and web sustainability at #FOSDEM. Figured the @wagtail group would appreciate this. More below, with a link to his talk
Hi @wagtail do you think we can make this RFC a proposal for Django itself? I know I want a queuing solution in core. I know @jacob does too. I know @webology does too. I know … — hang on that list would go a while. 😅
It reads well. It would make the great basis for a DEP.
@webology@paulox if you think it’s close enough of a subject we’d be interested to hear more about that too! We’re working on new project templates currently, so even something like specific microformats or webring support could be quite a quick win.
@phiofx@paulox oh interesting, that’s a lot of options already. So Wagtail support efforts would probably be best spent on integrating one of those with CMS features, rather than re-implementing ActivityPub?
@phiofx@paulox@andrew@cda@alain Do you mind expanding on the "opinionated" side of things? We don’t have much ActivityPub expertise currently so even just a reference to an appropriate resource would help a lot.
For my #magic ( #conjuring ) hobby, I catalog videos that make up online courses (most only one video, some multiple) by writing a “timeline” for each, signposting for people where to find particular items in each video. This is currently just written up in Apple Pages, exported as a PDF and shared by Dropbox link. I started a website a while ago using @django to make it more accessible and searchable but never really came up with a completely satisfactory data structure (see pic)
@tamas@jmb TableBlock data is stored in JSON so might not be what you’re after if you already have a clear DB schema? But it’s much more flexible since it’s literally just an editable HTML <table> with no constraints.
Want to make accessibility a priority in your Wagtail projects? We got a webinar for you.
Join us on 13 December, 10:00 ET / 3:00 BST / 15:00 UTC on Zoom.
Three members of the Wagtail CMS accessibility team, including Scott Cranfill, NASA JPL, Albina Starikova, Torchbox and Thibaud Colas, Wagtail CMS, will be hosting.
