Be reassured: we understand (but easily forget, so feel free to remind us!) What is the opinion of audio captchas? That is, do they actually work, and are they a significant inconvenience even if they are at least in theory possible to use for blind persons? Google ReCAPTCHA implements an audio recaptcha option, for example. > Mailman 2.x is very accessible so far Thank you! > and unfortunatly I hadn't time to take a look if postorius is also > good to use, but keeping mailman useable also for users with > disabilities should be always kept in mind IMHO! This is a continuing goal of mine, for sure, and I think of all Mailman developers. But AFAIK we're all equipped with average-ish levels of the usual senses, so feel free to remind us of the principle, and if you notice any specific issues for accessibility, *please* report them. We probably won't notice them ourselves. :-( @self (or anybody who wants to check and implement :-): We should have an accessibility tag (and probably a usability or ux tag to differentiate the use cases) on the tracker. > If spam protection mechanisms are needed, No "if" about it, unfortunately. But we do try to avoid mechanisms that impose more pain on real users than on spammers.
