Lisi, I wanted to follow up on my last email to you.
Fist - to apologize for my previous suggestion. It was not really well thought out, and not at all considerate.
Yesterday I solicited input from a user at the community forum that I know to be severely site challenged.
On his recommendation I setup an instance of the Konqueror web browser, which is part of the KDE desktop ( using Kubuntu 7.1 and KDE 4 ), configured it to use a client side CSS ( stylesheet ) designed specifically for visually impaired users, part of the distribution package, and then proceeded to test a number of the web sites that make up the OpenOffice.org community. I did this using a number of different settings for text sizes ranging from 120% to 200% of normal.
One thing that I would pass on is that this works pretty well for the sites - but not perfectly. Although it does remove a lot of the color themes on the sites it does not remove the layout of the sites and to be honest I was surprised at how justmuch of that was retained and how well the sites responded.
Regarding the problems that I did find - those have been passed along to the folks at the main website's development mailing list and included comments about not just www.openoffice.org but also the Extensions site, the Wiki and problems found at the Community Forum.
The forum is my responsibility and although the display problem found is not sever IMO it is none the less being worked on and will be corrected - as I expect will be the issues found on the other sites, although I can in no way speak for any of those individuals.
I also proposed on that list that all of us with responsibilities for these sites look at support secondary style sheets designed specifically for users / visitors needing assistance in this regard. Where that will go I can not say for sure.
