Let us know some particulars as in which area it needs improvement? I cannot know what you mean as I am not currently impacted. Some references on accessibility: Vinux, based on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, is a complete live Linux distribution optimized for blind and visually impaired users. It bundles screen readers, full-screen magnifiers, built-in support for USB Braille displays, and optimized fonts and colors. http://vinuxproject.org/ The Orca screen reader is the most fully-featured Linux screen reader. It supports multiple speech synthesizers and Braille displays. You need GNOME 2 for Orca to work because there are many glitches in GNOME 3. As GNOME and KDE continue to present moving targets stick with Vinux for best performance and least hassles. http://live.gnome.org/Orca https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Accessibility_Guide/index.html Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
