Broken news links contrast too low

[patricoferris]

On the Planet news feed page there is a list of syndications. Some of these are now broken and are presented with a strikethrough and very low contrast. The contrast is in fact too low to meet WCAG standards for accessibility in particular item 1.4.3 of the WCAG 2.1 standard. The list item in the red box is an example.

I believe the strikethrough is sufficient enough (testing using vision deficiencies emulation using the chrome browser suggests to me this is enough).

@nayaldivya if you would like, to this might a great first issue for you to contribute too? No pressure if you don't want to this is just in relation to your comment on #1241. If you could add a message if you would like to look into this or not in the not too distant future so other people know if this issue is open or not that would be fantastic. Thank you for wanting to contribute to the site :))

(If you do take this up feel free to ask any questions here on this issue or on a PR that you open in relation to it).

@nayaldivya Are you still working on this...

@patricoferris This is Jay here, may I request any other issue on which I can work on... (or I can submit a PR on this issue)

[nayaldivya]

@nayaldivya Are you still working on this...
Yes.

[patricoferris]

@IIITM-Jay please don't submit a PR for this issue. I have just created #1245 which, going forward, will be the place to register interest. I know you are interested and in due course I will find/create an issue and ping you about it.

@nayaldivya please don't feel any pressure to rush your contribution, take as much time as you need and don't hesitate to ask any questions on here.

Hey @patricoferris, while setting up the project on my system, I ran into this error. I'm using Windows 10 as my Operating System. Kindly have a look at this.

This is after I ran opam install ocamlorg --deps-only command.

[nayaldivya]

To resolve this issue #1244, I believe
In ocamlorg.css
.subscribers .broken { color: #dcc8c4; text-decoration: line-through; }
should be updated to
.subscribers .broken { text-decoration: line-through; }

This will change

to

Kindly confirm this.

Great @nayaldivya -- that looks about right to me.

However, I would really love for you to get this up and running locally especially because you are developing on windows and any problems and solutions you find, we can add to the contributing document to help other windows devs.

I most confess windows support for OCaml isn't as good as other OSes but it looks like you have the harder bits already sorted. To start can I ask which instructions you followed to get your windows environment set up ?

[nayaldivya]

I followed this link: http://fdopen.github.io/opam-repository-mingw/installation/ After running the graphical installation file, it automatically installed OCaml, OPam, and Cygwin on the system.

This was fixed in #1252, thanks @nayaldivya :))
