Ok the vote is passed. I'm sarting to work on it: - Execute the tests on XE pages - Creating discrete jira issues whenever there are problems on pages, small enough so that they can be tackled one by one - I'll flag issues with the "wcag" keyword in jira
However for the implementation work (ie fixing the jira issues) I'll need all devs' help.
