[ESS] Next steps [OT] Best Practices Emacs / ESS Mini-Webinars

[Liz Hare]

Hello,

Going back to our earlier conversation about ensuring the accessibility of Mini Webinars, I'm able to share MiR's Accessibility Workbook (attached).

This is of particular interest to blind R users because the RStudio IDE is not an option for us due to its inaccessibility.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Liz

I've been working on pieces of this with R Forwards https://forwards.github.io, where our work started on accessibility of in-person conferences https://github.com/forwards/event_best_practices/blob/master/DRAFTEventBestPracticesDisability.md). Relevant parts of these guidelines were adopted with UseR2020 was moved online.
