I already can tell you that we will need tags to define different level of headings, tags to give a text alternative to images and a way of defining the order of elements to make them read in a logical order by the assistive technologies.

I cannot give you money, but I probably can help in a way or another, by sharing my expertise about digital accessibility for example, in order to improve Scribus and make it accessible to everyone ;-) Cheers, Armony *Armony ALTINIER ???* Directrice d'ACS Horizons Consultante Chine et accessibilit? du Web ACS Horizons - Le meilleur de la Chine et du Web : conseil, cr?ation, formation *Bureau :* +33 (0) 178 178 855 *Mobile :* +33 (0) 668 897 751 *Fax :* +33 (0) 170 248 941 *Email :* armony at acs-horizons.fr *Site pro. :* acs-horizons.fr <http://www.acs-horizons.fr> *Blog perso :* armonyaltinier.fr <http://www.armonyaltinier.fr> *ACS Horizons* <http://www.acs-horizons.fr> 2, esplanade de la Gare Immeuble ACCET 95110 Sannois, France ?? 2010/6/1 a.l.e <ale.comp_06 at xox.ch> > hi armony, > > My name is Armony, I am French and I coordinate the Workgroup >> "Accessibility and Free Software"of the association "April", French >> advocacy association devoted to promote and protect Free/Libre Software in >> France (5300 members). >> >> The goal of the Workgroup is to sensitize people about making free >> software accessible to everyone, especially disabled people. >> >> We are trying to create accessible documents, and we noticed that only >> Acrobat Professional has a function for adding accessibility tags to PDF >> documents (see >> http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf). >> >> But maybe we can create accessible PDF directly with Scribus?
