This Smithsonian Web and New Media Strategy was created through a fast and transparent process that directly involved, and continues to involve, hundreds of stakeholders inside and outside the Institution. This strategy will feed into the Smithsonian’s comprehensive strategic plan, currently under development.

In the United States, about 7 percent of the male population – or about 10.5 million men – and 0.4 percent of the female population either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 2006). And, more than 10% of the male population is color-blind in all over the world. There are various forms of color-blindness: red-green, green-brown, and so on. Of course, we cannot possibly avoid all of the colors that could be misinterpreted by all visitors with color vision impairment.
Nonetheless, it’s easy enough to make sure our pages are legible to anyone with color vision impairment.

Here is the state of things as we know them:
– The DDoS attack is still ongoing, and the intensity has not
decreased at all. Because of this, interaction with the site and with
the API will continue to be shaky due to the defenses that have been
put in place by our Ops team. At this point, removing any of those
defenses is not an option.– Whitelisted IPs that have a restricted rate-limit is a *known
issue,* and we are still working on restoring increased rate-limiting.– OAuth funkiness is a *known issue* which seems to be exacerbated by
the whole DDoS thing.
