- seanwilson 2y ago> (ie. inclusivecolors.com would be prohibited) I didn't have "does this include words in it that might get banned?" on my checklist when hunting for a good domain name haha. The https://designsystem.digital.gov/design-tokens/color/overview/ https://designsystem.digital.gov/design-tokens/color/overvie... link still mentions "inclusively". > Within 60 days "“diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” Are there more details on this? So next USWDS might be stripping out references to WCAG accessibility guidelines like their color contrast advice?
- plasma_beam 2y agoThat’d be something for sure. Section 508 accessibility laws are built into most federal IT contracts. DHS has an entire trusted tester certification program around it. The changes required to existing federal contracts if they do this are staggering. https://www.dhs.gov/trusted-tester https://www.dhs.gov/trusted-tester
