README: concise description, scope, and how to use the index.
Quick checklist: prioritized Section 508/WCAG items for audits.
Tools & utilities: links and short notes on automated scanners (axe, pa11y), browser extensions, screen readers, color contrast checkers.
Code examples: accessible components (forms, navigation, tables) with annotated examples and failing vs corrected code.
Tests & CI: sample scripts showing how to run accessibility tests (axe-core, pa11y, Lighthouse) in CI.
Resources: official Section 508, WCAG 2.1/2.2 docs, SANS references (if applicable), training materials.
Contribution guide: how to submit links/examples, code style, licensing considerations.
License: an open-source license (e.g., MIT) and attribution for curated resources.
Metrics and dashboards
Track counts: total issues, open vs mitigated, per-WCAG criterion, time-to-fix, regressions.
Visualize trends from the indexed audit results.
Write-Up: Building a SANS FOR508 Index with GitHub
1. Repository Context
Course: SANS SEC508: Digital Forensics, Incident Response & Threat Hunting.
Platform: GitHub.
Purpose: To aggregate scripts, tools, and cheat sheets required for the "Volatile Data," "Memory Forensics," and "Timeline Analysis" sections of the course.
Definitions and scope
Section 508: U.S. federal accessibility law requiring electronic and information technology to be accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 references standards aligned to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
SANS: Security-focused organization; in this monograph, SANS Institute references are limited to any SANS-published resources on accessibility. If the user meant a different SANS, adjust accordingly.
"Index": a structured catalog (machine- and human-readable) pointing to resources, test results, remediation stories, and coverage matrices.
GitHub context: using GitHub for hosting source, issues, pull requests, workflows (GitHub Actions), pages (documentation site), and releases for audit artifacts.
