[WG: Sakai QA] 2.7: accessibility: new features

[Richwine, Brian L]

Hello Anthony,

I did not mark any of these Jira items as "new". We think of these accessibility fixes as making the code behave as an adaptive technology user (like a screen reader user) expects or wishes it would. None of these Jira tickets involve changes that result in changing the user or help documentation. 

In summary, these Jira tickets fixed various unlabeled form fields, improved required fields notification on several forms, added table summaries to several complex tables to help screen reader users understand the table's contents, and fixed various instances of ambiguous / non-unique label text.

-Brian

Subject: 2.7: accessibility: new features

Brian et al--I'm reviewing new features for 2.7.  There are a number of accessibility-related issues addressed for 2.7.  In Jira, most are flagged as bugs, some as tasks.  Nevertheless, please review the attached spreadsheet and let me know if any of the tickets listed below something new that should be highlighted in the release notes (just add a column and flag any relevant tickets as "new").  If you could return the spreadsheet to me by Monday, 10 May 2010, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

Anthony
