It would be great to have discussion with Mac VoiceOver (ANY assistive technology) users who have used accessible redesign of https://plus.google.com/
1. What is your experience with keyboard shortcut (press question mark for list)?
2. What is your experience with Collection cover photo cropping, featured names, and colors?
3. What is your experience with following/unfollowing Collection, Community, and People?
4. What is your experience with navigating stream (heading navigation or J/K keyboard shortcut)?
5. What is your experience with creating and interacting with post and comments (new post, share post, +1 post or comment, add or reply to comment)?
Shorter version of this in G+ Accessibility Community: https://plus.google.com/106206510427845892371/posts/A2CTxPnR7Qu?iem=4&gpawv=1&hl=en-US

Google+ Accessibility
You may have noticed that I regularly call out the number of "accessibility issues addressed" in our releases. Accessibility plays a big role in our ongoing efforts to improve and in the new Google+, we've optimized user interfaces on Android, iOS, and the Web for easier navigation with screen readers and keyboard controls. In the past year alone, we've found & fixed over 450 accessibility bugs.
Some recent updates:
* Improved keyboard support on the web: navigate, comment, +1, create new posts, and more
* Improved interactions with posts using both Talkback on Android and VoiceOver on iOS that save people significant time and effort
* Search accessibility improvements on all platforms, with autocomplete results announced when they're available
You can read more about accessibility support on the Google+ Help Center page (https://support.google.com/plus/answer/6320404), and be sure to check out the user-created GPlus Accessibility Community (https://plus.google.com/communities/108884766040433463186).
As always, we're continuing to listen to your suggestions and ideas. So please keep them coming using the Send Feedback menu item.
Thanks
