Possibly true but I would imagine the team created an internal Bible of all accessibility requirements and that all of that information wasn't siloed in the heads of each employee in that department.
- notamy 4y agoIt's a sign of where it's going though. Will the accessibility info be kept up to date? Will the other teams pay attention to it as much if there's not an internal "force" keeping it on people's mind? Will it be considered at a similar level again in the future? The answer to all of these might be "yes," but getting rid of the employees who are most responsible for this doesn't exactly strike me as an act that views a11y favourably.

- throwaway821909 4y agoThere's presumably a gap between the current level and what's legally required, and they can afford to let things slip a bit without getting in trouble.
- deadbunny 4y agoAnd I'm sure it'll stay on that unvisited Confluence page for a year or so till some doing some cleanup goes "A11y team? They left agees ago." and deletes it.
- DonHopkins 4y agoIt's actually much cheaper to buy more disk drives than to pay somebody to delete files.
- kaba0 4y agoThat “not-updated in years” confluence page that lists more incorrect things now than correct ones is frankly, useless.
