Great ideas from Mike Gifford, CPWA on #Drupal in The Drop Times! #a11y #accessibility
💬 “Too often, our incredible work flies under the radar.” — Mike Gifford, CPWA With #DrupalCon Atlanta wrapped, the energy around #Drupal, AI innovation, and the vision for the open web is electric. However, outside our community, many still see Drupal as it was in version 7. Mike Gifford makes a compelling case for using LinkedIn to change that. We’re building scalable, secure, API-first platforms—and it’s time we show the world what Drupal can do. This post is a call to action for everyone in the Drupal ecosystem: let’s boost each other, celebrate community wins, and turn LinkedIn into a force multiplier for Drupal. 📣 Let’s get loud because our work deserves the spotlight. 🔗 Check out the article - https://lnkd.in/gk8mVxMR

🛠️ Prioritizing Accessibility Bugs for Maximum Impact Accessibility bugs can’t be an afterthought. Tight deadlines and competing priorities often push them to the bottom of the list, but the consequences of neglecting accessibility are real—frustrating user experiences, noncompliance, and missed opportunities to be inclusive. That’s why Front-End Engineer Jack Haas and the Accessibility Team collaborated to create the Accessibility Bug Classification Matrix. It’s a game-changer for our teams, helping us quickly identify and prioritize issues based on severity and user impact. Inspired by industry best practices and built to support everyone on the team—not just accessibility experts—it fosters a culture of shared responsibility. Accessibility is a team sport. Whether you’re triaging a backlog, doing release testing, or noticing something in a design review, the matrix provides a common language and clear guidance. By making this resource available to everyone, we’re empowering our entire team to make informed decisions when a bug is discovered. Learn more about how we're advancing accessibility in our latest CivicActions Medium blog: https://lnkd.in/gK57z_jd #accessibility #a11y
