Title

[People] Contributor portrait images have placeholder alt text

Description

Two contributor portraits on the /people/ page have alt="WRITE ALT TEXT HERE"
shipped to production instead of real descriptions. Screen readers announce the
placeholder text to visually impaired users instead of useful information about
the contributors.

Affected contributors:

  • Kenneth Lim (Mentors section)
  • Stalgia Grigg (Alumni section)

Evidence:

<!-- Kenneth Lim -->
<img alt="WRITE ALT TEXT HERE">

<!-- Stalgia Grigg -->
<img alt="WRITE ALT TEXT HERE">

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://p5js.org/people/
  2. Locate Kenneth Lim (Mentors) or Stalgia Grigg (Alumni) portrait
  3. Right-click → Inspect Element, or run Lighthouse/axe audit
  4. Both <img> elements show alt="WRITE ALT TEXT HERE"

Actual Behavior

Screen readers announce "WRITE ALT TEXT HERE" instead of a useful description.

Expected Behavior

Descriptive alt text with contributor name and role.

Environments

No response

Suggested Fix

Replace imageAlt values in:

  • src/content/people/en/kenneth-lim.yaml
  • src/content/people/en/stalgia-grigg.yaml
