Reporting Accessibility Issues on Discord for Ushahidi

In cases where team members are unsure if an issue is related to accessibility or need to discuss it with other team members before creating a GitHub issue, Discord can be used as a platform for collaboration and discussion.

Steps to Report Accessibility Issues on Discord

1. Join the Ushahidi Discord Server:

   • Follow the link to the Ushahidi Discord channel (opens in a new tab) to join the appropriate channel for discussing accessibility issues.

2. Start a Discussion:

   • Start a new discussion thread in the Discord channel, clearly indicating that it pertains to accessibility testing.
   • Describe the accessibility issue in detail, providing relevant context and any necessary information for understanding the problem.

3. Include Visual Aids:

   • Attach screenshots or screencasts demonstrating the accessibility issue, if applicable.
   • Visual aids help other team members understand the problem more effectively.

4. Address Blockers:

   • Clearly articulate any blockers or challenges encountered during testing that hinder the resolution of the accessibility issue.
   • This helps other team members provide assistance or suggest solutions to overcome the blockers.

5. Engage in Discussion:

   • Engage in discussion with other team members to gather insights, share perspectives, and brainstorm potential solutions to the accessibility issue.
   • Collaboration and input from multiple team members can lead to a better understanding of the problem and more effective solutions.

6. Proceed to GitHub Issue Creation (Optional):

   • If consensus is reached or if further action is required, proceed to create a GitHub issue in the Ushahidi Platform GitHub repository (opens in a new tab) with the accessibility issue details.
