We can be adroit in different ways, right? :) I understand the practical and time limitations we have. I don't know, though, how many people using Launchpad have, for example, sight issues. Speaking to Penelope Stowe, from the Ubuntu Accessibility team, and also reading the story of Adrian Hands' last commit [1] prompted me to take more of an interest in what we're doing. Like I say, I'll look at how far removed from ideal our current set-up is. I'd welcome input from others. 1. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78514#c19 -- Matthew Revell -- https://launchpad.net/~matthew.revell Launchpad.net -- cross-project collaboration and hosting _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
