Hi,
I am a good writer. I would be glad to team up with a developer to be shown how things work, and write it all down.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] The Accessibility of Browser-based Development Environments

I got back in touch with my Chrome contacts. They have been working to
make Chrome development tools accessible for some time now, with help
from some pretty high class experts.

Progress has been frustratingly slow though and progress in Chrome 60
is still only marginal.
So I am going to try and turn up the Twitter heat on those folks and
hope Chrome dev tools are on the way to becoming accessible.
Someone needs to write an article for BATS on using FF49 dev tools
with a screen reader.
IN fact, we need to re ignite BATS. After getting a new job last year
I have simply not been able to give it the attention it needs to keep
growing.
I can't say I see much slowdown on the horizon but I still need to
find a way to carve out time.
Anyone who wants to contribute articles, please get in touch.
