Consider this HTML output from the project management page:
<tr class="build-row"><td nowrap="nowrap"><img
src="/hudson/images/16x16/blue.gif" height="16" width="16">
#24
</td><td nowrap="nowrap"><a class="tip"
href="/hudson/job/Panda%20Board%20Management/24/">Jun 5, 2007 2:26:27
PM</a></td></tr>
The critical information of whether the build passed or failed or is unstable is
only available through visual color. This is inaccessible to blind and
color-blind users.
Step 1 to fixing this is an alt attribute such as
<img src="/hudson/images/16x16/blue.gif" height="16" width="16" alt="passed"/>
Step 2 is to add more textual indications of the build success. The words
"passed", "failed", "unstable" or equivalents should be shown in plain text in
the HTML. This will help color blind users, as well as anyone who doesn't
recognize blue as passed or red as failed.
We can quibble about the exact language. These may not be the best phrases to
use. However some sort of textual representation of the build state is a necessity.
