No. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceful_degradation "the image on the left has been designed to degrade gracefully, hence is still meaningful without its transparency information". Seeing the sitenotice *is* required to meaningfully participate in the Wikimedia community. Else one would never know about Wikimania, or any other event throughout the year. If one couldn't see the whole site at all, one would be aware of what one is missing. Instead, everything looks hunky dory. It's just that one never receives party invitations. > If you have technical suggestions for alternate implementations, > they're welcome in a more relevant channel such as wikitech-l. OK, fair enough. I was just hoping there was some list where somebody still remembered accessibility. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
