All of the changes proposed may need iteration toward a long-term solution.  \n\n- Add OOB support for page titles (should be unique per page as per [WCAG 2.4.2- Page Titled](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/?showtechniques=242#page-titled)). Similar is provided by [ember-page-title](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/ember-page-title).\n- Add default language attribute on the `\u003chtml\u003e` element - [basic documentation](https://github.com/MelSumner/ember-a11y-roadmap/blob/master/rfc-research/language/default-language.md)\n- Add `aria-label`, `aria-labelledby`, and `aria-describedby` attributes to the `...attributes` exceptions (like `class`) - [proposed draft RFC](https://github.com/MelSumner/ember-a11y-roadmap/blob/master/rfc-research/attribute-support/0000-improved-aria-attribute-support.md)\n- Release an official framework statement regarding A11y in Ember.js\n- Publishing a \"roadmap\" or \"intent to improve\" list (along with an invitation to contribute)\n\n## Long-term changes\nAfter some discussion, these things need a larger effort refactor, and accessibility should be part of that re-design:\n- Ember Router (and ensure support for assistive tech)\n- refactor the way the `...attributes` feature works\n- create a locale-aware start to Ember apps?\n\n## Other useful improvements\n- focus management\n- keyboard navigation\n- semantic test helpers (improves code in general but could specifically be used to better test for accessibility conformance)\n- A11y in the guides\n- component patterns for accessible components\n- linting\n- ember language server support\n\n## Innovation Opportunities\nRight now, only about 30% of accessibility issues can be automatically tested. We have the opportunity to improve that through innovative tooling. \n- we should at least get the 30% right, then innovate on the other 70%\n- CLI tool for http://adrianroselli.com/2019/04/reading-order-bookmarklet.html\n\n## RFCs \n\n### Existing\n- [accessible routing in Ember.js](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/433)\n- [semantic test helpers](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/327)\n\n### Research/write\n- vocalizing support for assistive technology (screen readers, specifically) in the same way we list browser support\n- dialogs/modals (parent window inert, focus management) [[RFC Research]](dialogs/modals.md)\n- keyboard nav\n- focus management\n\n## Documentation\n- [guides \u0026 developer education](documentation/guides.md)\n- a11y for the [emberjs.com guides](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/reference/accessibility-guide/) \n- Add a11y check/section to RFC process\n- update ember-a11y website\n - add best practices for ember components\n - give helpful information for ember addons\n- improved [developer experience](linting-and-testing/approach.md) \n\n## Addons\nui addon with a11y-first approach\n\n- https://github.com/MelSumner/e-a11y-modal\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmelsumner%2Fember-a11y-roadmap","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmelsumner%2Fember-a11y-roadmap","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmelsumner%2Fember-a11y-roadmap/lists"}
