Hello all
I have seen much talk about the state of accessibility for Ubuntu 7.10 Feisty, and how some
people have had no problems, yet thers are also those who are disappointed in the way things are
for this release. I would like to make it clear, that the quality of accessibility is only as
good as your testing, and feedback. By feedback, I do not mean posts to a mailing list, hoping
that your questions will be ansered, and your feedback heard. The *BEST* way of giving feedback,
is filing bugs against packages in Ubuntu. Once a bug is filed with specific information on what
the problem is, and how it can be reproduced, action can then be taken to track down where the
problem is, and get it fixed.
Please note also, that I am currently the only one working to improve screen reader
accessibility in Ubuntu, and I do it in my own time. If I was to receive funding to spend extra
time working on Ubuntu accessibility, things would likely be a different story, but this is
currently not to be, so I do what I can, when I can.
Thanks Luke!
I second that. I do not have a lot of programming experience, but is
there some place I can go to learn about how things work and such? I
would like to be a help where I can, and if I can. I share the same
belief about freedom in assistive technology. To proprietary
companies, we as a disabled community are captive customers--meaning
they can charge what they want for their product because we NEED it.
Thankfully, this is not so for the Linux community. Luke, I sincerely
thank people like you who are working hard on accessibility. Thanks to
all of the hard work, I have been able to completely switch to using
Linux at home, and I am very grateful for this.
Thanks again.
