Hello all,
I think it would be fine to improve the Invenio accesibility, just some
minor changes:
1) Add "alt" text to all the images, most of the times the alt text it's
empty.
2) Some tables have the "summary" attribute but it's empty. The summary
of the table it's not displayed in visual browser but it's helpful in
screen readers and speech browsers.

3) Maybe can be useful to add some access keys to some links, people
with limited mobility or visually impaired need to navigate with
keyboard shortcuts. The implementation it's really easy, adding the
"accesskey=[char]" to the HTML.

Problem: the invenio access keys and the navigator can be in conflict.
In the Wikimedia project they found the same problem(
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477), we can make an
option to enable the accesskeys to some users or find unused keystrokes.
For example in Invenio there's actually an access key to go to the main
content "1":
- In Chromium Alt+1redirects to the first tab in the browser :(
- In Firefox Alt+Shift+1 works as expected :)
BTW the Invenio accesibility is excellent, it can be read without CSS
and used without JavaScript. I checked Invenio with some tools for color
blind people and I can't find any problem.
Best regards
