Thanks. I made a few minor edits.

I'd suggest just putting what you have into a wiki page, now, so that history will be maintained as the document is changed. What this lacks at this point is any sense of priorities -- *this* is more important to do first, *that* can wait, etc., or any sense of "to make a Qt app more easily accessible, to *this*; to make a GTK app more accessible, do *that*; to create an accessible installer, do *this other thing*". So it is currently useful as background info, but not in suggesting "what to do next". Also, links to the various things (software, APIs, etc.) that it mentions would be a great addition. > I don't know much about Lubuntu, only that it is based on something > called LXDE as a window manager and is targeted at really old > computers. Well, or some people just like a leaner faster desktop environment. I'm surprised to see how many Lubuntu users actually choose use it on hardware that would support Ubuntu or Kubuntu. > Looking at lubuntu.net it seems to be based on GTK, so I imagine just > installing gnome-orca will pull in speech dispatcher at-spi2 and espeak, > install onboard and you have an on-screen keyboard too.
