Accessibility for the colour-blind
Commons has a lot of graphs and charts used on Wikipedia and elsewhere, but few
consider how they look with colour blindness, mostly because the
creator/uploader has no idea. m:Accessibility#Colour-blind-friendly images
lists some tools that can be used to automatically transform images into how
they are seen by colour blind people. We could run such automated tools on all
Commons graphs and charts and reporting the results, ideally after assessing
automatically in some way that the resulting images are not discernible enough,
lower than some score. The warnings can be relayed with some template on the
file description or directly to the authors and can havhe a huge impact on the
usefulness of Commons media.
Depending on skills and time constraint, the project taker would do 1, 1-2 or
1-3 of these three steps: 1) develop the code for such an automatic analysis
based on free software, 2) identify what are the images to check on the whole
Commons dataset and run the analysis on it producing raw results, 3) publish
such results on Commons via bot in a way that authors/users can notice and act
upon.
