Re: [Trisquel-users] Default desktop in 7 still looks horrible

@davidnotcoulthard This is a good start on the new front page text.  I like  
how you distinguish Trisquel from the proprietary alternatives with which  
folks are more familiar.  It may need some work on distinguishing Trisquel  
from the other GNU/Linux distributions.  Every distro's front page I've read,  
so far, says basically the same nice things about libre software.  Regarding  
marketing Trisquel's accessibility, it should be a little easier to do in 7  
than it was in 6.  Within about a year of its release, when I tried to  
promote Trisquel among my fellow GNU/Linux accessibility users, I was met  
with "this is a throw-back" and "why no accessibility in net install and  
mini", to name a couple of typical responses.   Just curious, has anyone  
tested the screen magnification, on-screen keyboard, and high-contrast  
options?  What of braille support?  I can only test orca screen reader's  
synthetic speech output.  Incidentally, the Debian net install has had speech  
and braille support available since Squeeze, by means of the espeakup screen  
review package for the console and the brltty daemon.  There are two  
GNU/Linux distros pushing accessibility, they are Sonar GNU/Linux asnd Vinux.  
 Both have non-libre parts, and won't be linked here.  Since Sonar is based  
on Manjaro, wqhich is based on Arch, it's nearly bleeding-edge.  The blind  
users I know best, prefer up-to-date packages to full freedom.  .
