Two key pieces of accessibility software in Gnome used to be accessible, but are no longer in Lucid - Yelp and the Ubuntu Software Center. Ubuntu does a terrific job in general insuring packages are functional and not buggy before allowing them into the distro. There must be some check-list for accepting packages at Ubuntu. Why is accessibility not on this list? Isn't this simply a matter of adding one extra item to the list of tasks for a package to be accepted?
Ubuntu is in a unique position to improve lives for the disabled. Simply by raising their standards, Ubuntu can raise the standards throughout the FOSS community. I am amazed that Ubuntu has not taken this simple step. Is there any good reason?
