AFAIK, we have support for visually impaired people: - linuxrc can be run in linemode to allow screen readers - yast2 ncurses interface has high contrast color scheme available - there is support for braille peripherials > > * If we're missing accessibility functionality, how feasible would it be > to implement it for 11.0? Depends on the technology. One constraint I see right away is the size of of inst-sys, we would need to do some magic there to keep it reasonably sized. First, we would need to know exactly what we want to support. The 3 points above?
