#1
Add references to standards and best practices in admin interface
#2
I'll take this on, using the WCAG 2.0 guidelines.
#3
Here's the first patch, very straightforward and simple. I'm throwing it up for review just to make sure the approach is solid and tips are understandable. Separate links apply for guidelines and individual techniques for meeting criteria associated with content, navigation, and (if the proper modules are implemented) forms, and time-based media. I think there are probably more/better ways to extend where the module-specific tips appear but figured it would be best to offer it up for testing first.
#4
This is great. I'll test and apply it.
We might store the references as an array or heredoc or a separate user conf file for easier editing and allow for the lists and links to be themeable. But that sort of stuff can wait until we have enough content. We may also want the site admins to select the standards they want to show up in the users help info. I suppose with the help hook there is a desire to keep the amount of code being processed to a minimum.
