jenkins screenreader accessibility

[Don Raikes]

Hello,



I am new to Jenkins and to this list. I am totally blind, and use a screenreader on windows to access the Jenkins web ui.



I am finding a lot of areas where controls are just not well labeled so I can't figure out how to use jennkins. Also, I have discovered that much of the Jenkins documentation is completely inaccessible as well.



I appoligize for my criticism, but I have been in software accessibility for 18 years and as a totally blind user, and someone needing to use Jenkins for my work, I find it very frustrating.



I will file specific bugs as I can figure out the pages/functionality where I see the problems.

I think this might be a great candidate for a SIG (Special Interest Group).
I doubt you are the only one having issues and making Jenkins accessible is
something that would be great. Are there any low hanging fruit that could
be addressed to help you out in the short term?
