Better accessibility with screen readers

See original GitHub issue

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2271

Inspired by issue 2268. Should research ways to make FullCalendar a better experience
for users with screen readers. Maybe some HTML microformat that does this?

Since I haven’t seen any progress on improving the accessibility of this component in meeting with WCAG or Section 508 requirements, does anyone know of any other calendar component that meets accessibility requirements?

I am deeply sorry for taking so long to address these accessibility concerns. I’ve broken things down into separate, actionable tickets. They are divided into two milestone:

  • a11y-soon - low-hanging fruit that will be addressed in the next minor release
  • a11y-future - tasks that require significant refactoring. probably available in the next major version

If particular tickets interest you, please don’t forget to give a 👍 to vote (?), press the 🔈Subscribe button to receive updates.

I am closing this master ticket in favor of the individual tickets.

Special thanks to @powrsurg and @itmaybejj for the great advice.
