Hi Colomban, Currently, I work with Ilmari. I have only a foundation level in tests. And my computer has Windows 10. So, if a total beginner in accessibility tests could help you with the accessibility of LibreOffice, I am interested in this task.
In August, I am on vacation, so my work is random. But in September, I would like to increase my participation to work more on LibreOffice gradually. Before my vacation, I worked 10 hours per week on LibreOffice. I would like to try to work 15 to 20 hours per week. So I think I could work on tests with Ilmari and with you.
