This is a draft of a plan to target WCAG 2.0 Level AA in uPortal that we hope to complete, discuss, and ratify in the community. Following that, we plan to convert this document to Markdown and commit it to the main uPortal repo in Github. |

- Webaim's Color Contrast Checker is a great way to check if you're color scheme adheres to Level AA.

- Webaim Web Accessibility Evaluation Extension is a Chrome extension that scans an entire page and shows all accessibility issues, its also includes an overview mode that highlights accessible metadata in a page.
- total11y is a Chrome extension that handles what Webaim Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool does, but as an extension to your browser.

- HTML_CodeSniffer is a client-side script that checks HTML source code and detects violations of a defined coding standard. HTML_CodeSniffer is written entirely in JavaScript, does not require any server-side processing and can be extended by developers to enforce custom coding standards by creating your own "sniffs". This was the tool used for the Oct 2016 uPortal accessibility audit. (Github source)
