Add accessibility statement to the homepage

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hi,

I need to add an accessibility statement to our SonarQube Community Build instance as required by French law: Déclaration d’accessibilité - RGAA

As I understand, it’s not possible to customize the footer or the header to add a link. So the only possible solution would be to add a custom page via a plugin. The problem is that the link to this page must be on the homepage, and if I’m right, custom links via plugins would be placed in the More menu.

Do you have any plans to add this kind of statement in the UI by default? It could point to: Accessibility WCAG | Sonar

If not, could you suggest a simpler solution?

Thank you,
Massimiliano

Hi Massimiliano,

Since you are posting this just a few days after the European Accessibility Act (EAA) has come into force, I can’t help wondering whether you work for a public authority or a private company.
If you work a public authority, you obviously need an accessibility statement (though one that defines the level of conformance to RGAA rather than WCAG) in order to comply with the French law that transposed the Web Accessibility Directive (WAD) from 2016.
If you work for a private company, I am not aware of any requirements for accessibility statements in the EAA.

Best regards,

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

Thank you for your answer!

I work for a public authority. After some research I can confirm that you are right, a WCAG link would not be enough and we need an RGAA statement.

So developing a plugin with a custom page would be the only possible solution, or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Massimiliano
