[site community profile] dw_accessibility project co-lead!

I'd like to welcome [personal profile] deborah as the [site community profile] dw_accessibility project co-leader! She joins the immensely capable [personal profile] rb, in an effort to increase the good kind of redundancy and make sure that everybody's got support and backup while they're working on making DW awesome.

Deborah's been the programmer most interested in accessibility-related bugs for ages, and in this role, will be concentrating on bringing accessibility best practices into feature design and development from the ground up, as well as on accessibility testing and accessibility research. She's already been doing most of that unofficially, so we figured it was time to give her a fancy title to put on her resume ;)

As always, if you have any accessibility-related suggestions or concerns, you can bring them up to [personal profile] deborah and [personal profile] rb, or post about them here!
