The GNOME team set up a wiki page for 11.0 ideas. One of the requests is
for accessibility options to be available in the YaST installer, in
particular:

* Screen magnifier - shows a magnified version of the portion of the
screen you're pointing at.

* Screen reader - reads the labels and input text out loud.

* Braille output - provides tactile display of labels and input text via
a special device.

In GNOME, we use Orca to accomplish this, together with the at-spi
infrastructure. It is a Python app. I don't know what Qt/KDE uses, but I
imagine something similar.

So I have some questions for the YaST/installer guys:

* What accessibility technologies are available in the installer today,
and how are they configured?

* If we're missing accessibility functionality, how feasible would it be
to implement it for 11.0?

* Given that the installer is a Qt app, what technologies could we use?
