Description

I’d like to request a new page for the website – an Accessibility Statement page available at https://www.djangoproject.com/accessibility/.

This feels important to me so we can express our commitment to accessibility, in a format and at a place that people unfamiliar with Django will understand. See for example the diversity statement.

As far as content – here are recommendations from W3C.

For reference, we’re also making progress on accessibility guidelines for contributors. I expect the information on this new statement page will similar, just written for a different audience.

Tasks

  • First draft
  • Accessibility team review
  • Board + Steering Council review
  • Final draft
  • More reviews
  • Publish as flatpage
  • Convert the statement to a view and templates
  • Add a link from the footer

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing flatpage implementation and the footer template to understand the current structure, then create a new view and template for the accessibility statement and add a link in the footer.
