I did start writing a blog post about my experiences completing the accessibility challenge during automation week last year. However a mixture of writers block and concerns I was doing too much meant it got abandoned. I’ve started writing again after taking a couple of months break.

I will take a look at my notes from the challenge and what I’d written so far to see if I can get a draft or an outline together for you. See if its something you might be interested in publishing.

For the challenge, I examined various accessibility tools to see what issues I could find on the restful booker site. I think there were so many different things to talk about that I’d initially planned it to be a series of blog posts.

Apologies to everyone who has read this, but after careful thought. We’ve decided to update the topic to Exploratory testing.

@lgibbs it sounds like your series of blog posts is a cool idea so given the change in topic, perhaps go with what you’ve initially planned. That said, if you are still interested in submitting something, please get in touch I’m sure I can find space for your article idea :slight_smile:

UPDATE - We have three article slots available

UPDATE - We have two article slots left available

I’m interested. I emailed you an outline
