original entry Django’s accessibility contributing guide

The Django accessibility team is excited to announce that our accessibility contribution guidelines are now live in the documentation 🎉

These new guidelines are designed to support contributors in making Django more accessible to all users — including those who navigate the web using screen readers, keyboard-only inputs, and other assistive technologies.

They outline practical steps for designing and testing accessible user interfaces, how to contribute, follow up on ongoing accessibility issues, and contact the team. For beginners, we also recommend resources like The A11Y Project to get started.

We welcome your feedback and contributions as we continue to improve accessibility across the Django ecosystem! Come say hi on the Django Forum: Accessibility contributing guide.
