Hoi,

Between 7 and 10% of a population is dyslexic. For them reading takes much
more effort than it does for the rest of us. As it is, the English
Wikipedia has a font available for people who are dyslexic. It is the
OpenDyslexic font.

It is possible to configure en.wp and many other Wikipedias by clicking
somewhere... There are a few questions I would like to ask:

   - did you know this many people have a problem reading Wikipedia
   - did you know these people can be helped with a different font
   - do you know how to configure Wikipedia to read with the OpenDyslexic
   font
   - do you agree that this should be more obvious and easy
   - what can we do to raise awareness for usability in MediaWiki in
   general and for dyslexia in specific

Thanks,
     GerardM
