On October 3rd, the schedule for WordPress 5.0 was proposed. Prior to this, the accessibility team had not been made aware of a release time frame, and had no reason to believe WordPress 5.0 and the Gutenberg editor were under time pressure. The schedule proposed a release date of November 19th – 6 weeks from the announcement date. The initial reactions to the announcement of the release schedule were negative, which is unfortunate. We have no desire to increase the fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding the release of Gutenberg. To that end, this article is intended to shed light on the issues the WordPress Accessibility Team sees as most critical to the success of Gutenberg at release.
We want to give some background on the Accessibility Team, the commitment WordPress has made to accessibility, and then dive into the issues in Gutenberg as of this writing. The issues addressed come from reviews of version 4.1.0 of the Gutenberg plug-in released on October 24th, 2018.
