There were quite a few unlabelled buttons and links (so many, in fact, that it was hard to go anywhere in the administration panels for me, using a screen reader). I would guess the dragging and dropping would not be accessible (by its very nature it probably wouldn't be), though I was unable to test this because I was unable to get to parts of the UI needed.\r\nIs there any way it could be made accessible for those using screen readers? I would be more than happy to test (and even contribute code if possible) as I'd really like to use this in my own themes, and the more accessible tools we have, the better. I would guess there would have to be something done similar to wordpress widgets for accessibility (as it involves dragging and dropping) where there's a special mode for screen reader users where they can enter in positions manually (for example in the wordpress widgets you can choose a position from 1 which is first widget down to x+1 which is last widget after x widgets before it).\r\nAnyway, I'd really like to hear your opinions on this and wouldn't mind putting in some work to help make this a reality if at all possible.\r\nThanks,\r\n-Michael.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gantry/gantry5/issues/comments/127051781","html_url":"https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/673#issuecomment-127051781","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gantry/gantry5/issues/673","id":127051781,"user":{"login":"lilmike","id":1117427,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1117427?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike","html_url":"https://github.com/lilmike","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lilmike/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-02T18:17:17Z","updated_at":"2015-08-02T18:17:17Z","body":"Hi,\nAh.
