SlideWiki Version 2.14.0
We are happy to announce the 2.14.0 version of SlideWiki!
Over the summer we concentrated on finishing the internationalization of the front-end and to improve the translation into different languages. Furthermore a lot a accessibility issues have been uncovered and fixed.
Moreover, one highlight of this release is the new and improved Markdown editor. Markdown is a very easy markup language that allows for writing structures documents with only some extra characters of annotation for marking e.g. headings, enumerations or bullet lists. This makes it ideal for editing using a screen reader. The markdown editor is now easier to reach and was completely refactored with the needs of visually impaired users in mind. An online help about the Markdown language is also included.
Finally, we are constantly working with the team of the InclusiveOCW project to improve accessibility and UX for screen reader users. Thanks and kudos to everyone who contributed, be it with testing and uncovering issues or fixing them!
