The approach to make Wikipedia accessible is based on the W3C's official WCAG 2.0 (a.k.a. ISO/IEC 40500:2012) and ATAG 2.0 guidelines. The guidelines provided by this accessibility project are merely an attempt to reword the WCAG 2.0 into a guideline hopefully easier to understand for editors who are not familiar with accessibility or web development.
On the WikiMedia Foundation level however, there is a strong need for an accessibility policy. MediaWiki itself should be accessible.

Others should not be acted upon at the moment.
