Greetings, WebAIM:

I'm beginning to research where things currently stand with Twitter
Bootstrap and accessibility.

I reviewed the WebAIM archives, but I suspect that, at least based on
the main Twitter Web site, there may have been some improvement since then.

Has anyone looked into this recently?

And/or, has anyone worked on a fork (or found one) that incorporates
more accessibility features/functionality?

I glanced at the issues, but most look closed. And I found myself
wondering whether there might be other issues that haven't been filed.

I started to take a further look around Github, and I saw a number of
forks, but I thought there might be folks on this list who would be
able to speed my research.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jennifer

The only issues I'm aware of are the colors for the alert classes, but that is intentional. They're looking at a stop light style of look and feel so the text shouldn't really be necessary when using them. Version 2.3.1 is current with Version 3.0 on the horizon. I really enjoy working with it and the capabilities are amazing.

Hi Jennifer,
