Re: Accessible Dashboard Experience

This topic has got me interested. I think the BBC changed their home page
so there is no longer any customization.

I'm thinking about how this would be done:

A table would seem to give you the basic orientation, but tables for layout
are weak. role="grid" might be your answer there.

You have to give proper notification of when an item is:

1. Movable
2. Active
3. Moved
4. Set/Saved

Things would really all need to be drawn out with proper planning
concerning accessibility. I would really stress that this thing can not be
developed and then accessibility added later. Sure, it might be possible,
but you'd be in a world of hurt!
