The up/down-ness of nodes is indicated by a green vs red circle, which is gratuitously unfriendly to people with color vision issues and/or B&W displays (yes, I have sparcstation ELC handy, but no I haven't tried to run a browser on it and look at the weclome page).

I would suggest leaving the green circle and making the down icon be a red X, basically the logical and of a big X and the circle, so it has similar visual feel, and is distinguishable w/o color.

It's unfortunate that I missed this, given that I fixed it for the Introducer and Helper status (they say "Not Connected"). My bad.

Daira and I worked on this at the last summit. I have a branch that's almost ready for a pull request.

What's the status of this ticket? I guess, from reading the comment history, that it is blocked on nejucomo posting a pull request.

nejucomo is going to locate the branch for this, then assign to me for review and landing.

I rebased (with rename appending _1) the above onto the latest master:

https://github.com/nejucomo/tahoe-lafs/tree/1961-welcome-accessibility_1

I can now run setup.py test (within a virtualenv) and all tests pass except for some skips and some expected failures:

Ran 1140 tests in 436.003s

PASSED (skips=5, expectedFailures=3, successes=1132)

However, when I start a node the images are broken links, so I consider the unit tests to have insufficient coverage for a pull-request. Focusing on that now.

minor nit, could we use "-1" instead of "_1" for future branch-name suffixes? Easier to type.

Replying to warner:

That's the convention we use at LeastAuthority?, but I'm open to changing it.

nejucomo said he will work on this on this coming friday. Still on track for 1.11

Blocked because of the licensing issue described at https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/110#issuecomment-56603567 (we need a connected-not-configured icon with compatible licensing).

comment:13 Changed at 2015-01-21T00:46:21Z by nejucomo

Okay, I've added a new PR: https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/136

This one is a single commit with all new icons I created and place into the public domain.
