Hi all,

I was so excited to see the new admin UI introduced in PR 
2605<https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2605> — very nice work!  I’ve noticed 
a few accessibility issues, and would like to help by filing Jiras and pull 
requests if possible — okay if I proceed?  Please let me know if there is 
something I am missing.  Details below:


  *
Semantics are missing from many of the interactive UI elements, so screen 
readers and voice control have a lot of trouble with the interface.  In a quick 
test with MacOs VoiceOver, VoiceOver found the text box on the main "Welcome, 
please provide a Solr host URL” screen, but couldn’t tell the user what the 
text box was for, and all buttons were simply announced as “Image” without even 
saying the button text.  On MacOs Voice Control, none of the interactive 
elements displayed as interactive.
  *
When you use the Tab key to navigate around the interface, the navigation on 
the left side has no focus indicator, so keyboard users have no idea where they 
are.
  *
The Configsets selector (in the new UI, under Configsets > Overview) is not 
usable with a keyboard, it can only be opened with a mouse.


Thank you!


  -Jane
