Notes
- Handling inquiries seeking "situated" information (relevant to context)
- Starting simple - gathering stuff onto a wiki page. Our own resources and from partners.
- Questions
- What questions do our communities have?
- What kind of resources do we have or recommend?
- How do we encourage the use of this knowledge resource? (i.e. formality and process)
- Inclusive Design, Co-Design, and Co-Creation Resources
- https://sojustrepairit.org/resources.html
- Inclusive Design Guidelines - Research
- What do we know already and how did we describe them for previous audiences?
- "a wonderful collaborative mess of stuff"
- Maybe turn this into a gist so that people can comment and edit?
- Coordinate with OCAD librarians who publish our scholarly work
- Shared links and articles via IRC chats
- Share recorded community meetings via YouTube (and caption first)
- Summaries of books that we find useful
- Cherry pick from this stockpile and pull it into another organization for other projects (someone in the project can do the annotation and curation)
- What things do you draw from this pool for?
- Links and descriptions or keywords to be able to find it later
- What sort of workflow each person has to use this for?
- What project it was for, if it was our own, where we sourced it from if it wasn't ours, tagging/metadata to describe resources in general in order to retrieve them
- if it applies to specific sectors (which would require specific resources)
- Make an open Zotero group for anyone to join (https://www.zotero.org/groups/2086760/inclusive_design?)
- Zotero, are.na, or Mendeley
- Use it day-to-day, reflect on how to use it, how often to use it
- a general approach to organizing resources:
- three separate, but related concerns:
- archiving of IDRC research artefacts, which we will work with the OCAD library to help with

Readability-Score
Automating Accessibility Testing:
aXE, Pa11y and AATT are examples of automated testing libraries that can be integrated with a continuous integration test suite.
- Note that aXe is now built into FireFox's developer tools
Browser automation using tools like Selenium or PhantomJS can also support automating some aspects of accessibility testing.
Examining the Accessibility API:
Inspector (Windows) and Accessibility Inspector
(OS X) are system tools for graphically examining
the Accessibility API; the Firefox DOM Inspector
is also useful for this.
Accerciser for Linux.
Communities of Practice
Web Accessibility Initiative, WebAIM and the web-a11y Slack group are open groups for discussing web accessibility topics.
#a11yTO Meetup Group
