Jay Sundu (Jan 22 2024 at 18:51): Jay Sundu (Jan 22 2024 at 18:51):Hi there. Is there an accessibility review for Dataverse? Have other institutions done one that can be made available? Thanks in advance!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 22 2024 at 19:06):I could be wrong but https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/ePyJ9n6YA4k/m/7QQpBf24AgAJ might have the latest information.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 22 2024 at 19:10):Also, we're re-writing the frontend of Dataverse in React with accessibility in mind.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 26 2024 at 15:24):@Jay Sundu would an badge in the README about accessibility help? Please see https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/issues/26#issuecomment-1906651526 and https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/issues/289

I think making accessibility a primary importance is a good thing and the badge does seem to do that so I'd say that it helps. Thanks @Philip Durbin
At UC-Berkeley, we are oblidged to follow a consent decree we have with the US Department of Justice (see here)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 15 2024 at 13:40):@Jay Sundu check it out, we're adding a new accessibility badge in https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/pull/346
Jay Sundu (Apr 26 2024 at 15:49):Thanks Philip! I'll pass this along.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 26 2024 at 15:50):Sure. It's live. You can see it here: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 26 2024 at 15:51):It's very nice. Kudos to @Ellen K who worked on it.
Jay Sundu (Apr 26 2024 at 15:52):Great work. Many thanks!
Jay Sundu (Jul 22 2024 at 14:50):@Philip Durbin Hi there, I think the roadmap suggests first quarter FY2025 as when you'd have the React rewrite scheduled for release -- the rewrite with 'accessibility in mind' that you referred to previously. Is there a timeline for this release that I can provide others?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 22 2024 at 15:51):@Ceilyn Boyd can you provide any insight here?
@Jay Sundu for my part I'll just say that the React rewrite is a huge project.
Ceilyn Boyd (Jul 22 2024 at 17:48):Hi @Jay Sundu development of the React frontend is currently underway and we are making steady progress.
As Phil said, this is a very large project that spans multiple quarters and years. You can track general progress here, if you'd like: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-pm/issues/123. Status updates are provided each month. Of course you can also subscribe to the frontend repos, too.
The features the team is working on currently can be viewed here: SPA Beta Features for Q3 2024. You can try out the beta here: https://beta.dataverse.org/spa. This demo is updated as new features are implemented.
Also, you can join the Frontend Development Working Group. The next meeting is happening on 7/23/2024 at 9:00am EDT if you have specific development related questions.
Jay Sundu (Jul 22 2024 at 19:15):Thank you so much @Philip Durbin and @Ceilyn Boyd . We greatly appreciate all the efforts you all are making to get this big lift to happen! Many thanks -- I'll pass the info along.

Hi!
We are currently doing one, it's for the French regulation so they haven't translated the tool (yet... hopefully) and our comments are in French, but maybe the results can still be useful to you. Here's the link : https://ara.numerique.gouv.fr/rapport/tI81By30ew13oluECKS3k/resultats
Jay Sundu (Jul 24 2024 at 03:15):Thank you very much @Dimitri Szabo . This is useful. I will share your results with my colleagues.
Sherry Lake (Aug 13 2024 at 15:56):If UVA had specific questions about the React Frontend development and accessibility, who would be the best person to contact?
@Ceilyn Boyd ?
I've given them all the links @Philip Durbin and @Ceilyn Boyd posted in this thread and am hoping that's what they want, but in case they want more? Who best to directly contact?
Thanks.
@Sherry Lake
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Aug 13 2024 at 16:02):@Ellen K @Guillermo Portas what do you think?
Sherry Lake (Aug 14 2024 at 13:23):Thanks!! Our accessibility team is satisfied with the information in the front-end Github.
UVa is good for now.
Anna Sackmann (Mar 06 2025 at 19:41):Have there been any changes or updates to UI accessibility with 6.5?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 06 2025 at 19:44):I don't believe so. I just checked https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases/tag/v6.5 and I don't see any mention of it.
