Talking Drupal Episode 498 Covers DOJ Accessibility Ruling and Drupal Compliance

Staff Reporter

The latest episode of Talking Drupal, released April 21, 2025, dives into the U.S. Department of Justice’s new accessibility ruling and its impact on Drupal sites. Guest Joshua Mitchell, an accessibility expert with experience across agencies and nonprofits, joins the discussion to explain what the ruling means for state and local governments, timelines for compliance, and how organizations can meet the new standards.

Hosts John Picozzi, Nic Laflin, guest host Kathy Beck, and correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz also explore how Drupal is positioned to help sites achieve accessibility, touching on topics like PDFs, JavaScript widgets, and practical tips for organizations.

The episode features the Sa11y module as the "Module of the Week"—a tool designed to identify accessibility issues like color contrast errors. Sa11y, now maintained by Mark Conroy of LocalGov Drupal, recently released version 3.0.1 with full support for Drupal 10 and 11.

Listeners can tune in for a full breakdown of the ruling’s implications and accessibility best practices.
