Hi Daniel,
Okay it's clear now. What you intend to set up is another wiki page set, not
a mailing list. Nonetheless: what would you think of a screen reader user
list for rockbox?
Paul.

Hi Daniel,
Hi,
Yes it's a good idea. I'm willing to subscribe. It's also a good way to
keep all lists and communities on-topic. Many blind-related issues are
not interesting for sighted people, and vice versa. I.e. sighted people
who don't use any special computer reading aids, won't be interested in
these messages, while blind people don't care about graphics, themes and
that lot.
It isn't a new mailing list. It is a wiki page talking about how to
develop rockbox when you are blind. So the programming side of things.
Besides, many blind users have found the rockbox site hard to navigate.
Information you want is always there, but it's usually very hard to find
out where it is. On a blind community rockbox list, I would not hesitate
Is it? I found the wiki well organized.
to ask for a direct link to something if someone already has it, while on
this list, I'm trying to avoid that, because I don't want to be judged
stupid.
Well it is a wiki page not a mailing list.
One potential worry I have though, is that when only blind people
participate on such a list, some pieces of valuable knowledge that only
sighted people can provide, may become hard to get. For example: "My
voice won't read screen bla. Can anyone tell me what the display says
here?" I'm hoping therefore, that someone sighted will be willing to
monitor the list, and act as sort of a gateway, to avoid the blind
community from being isolated from the rockbox live sources.
Again it isn't a mailing list. But I wouldn't repeat documentation from
other places in the wiki. If something is the same when you can see or if
you are blind then you can read the other pages talking about that topic.
Since setting up cygwin is quite complicated with a screenreader then that
is the sort of thing that should go on the wiki.
BTW I think I might have a setting up cygwin guide somewhere.
