I pushed a bunch of PRs to make Open WebUI WCAG 2.1 AA accessible — would love help getting them merged

Professor here. I use Open WebUI in my university classes, and with recent federal regulation changes (and common courtesy), any software we use must meet minimum digital accessibility standards. At my uni that's WCAG 2.1 AA, per ADA Title II / Section 508.

I went through the UI and opened a bunch of PRs to add that compliance. Each one is scoped to a single issue and mapped to a specific WCAG criterion. And they're tested. They cover:

 1. Visible keyboard focus

  1. Skip-to-content link + landmarks

  2. Dialog roles + labeled inputs

  3. Light-theme text contrast

  4. Accessible names for icon-only buttons

They're all live and open on the repo now. It'd genuinely help me (and anyone else who needs this for their org) if they get reviewed and merged — and if accessibility matters to you, upvotes/👍 on the PRs signal to the maintainers that people want it.

Happy to answer questions if anyone else is trying to get OWUI through an accessibility review.

Solo-authored paper: "I" vs "We"

Does your field have any norms around how to write a solo-authored piece in terms of the first person accounts? Is it "I" or the royal "We"? E.g., "I employed a 2x2 factorial design" vs "We employed a 2x2 factorial design".
