The document I attached will probably be uploaded to SVN soon, so contributors will be able to send patches in to the Doc Team mailing list. Alternatively, we're happy to accept plain-text documentation, which we can convert to DocBook. However, we're approaching string freeze in a few weeks so don't have much time. Because of the proximity to the freeze, I don't want to create a 'stub section' in case I forget about it and it's left blank. However, if someone is able to send in documentation for that section, it would be easy enough to create it when we upload the patch.

It's not so simple, because when booting from the liveCD, you can ask for accessibility features enabled ; some braille devices are announced just serial converters so that brltty shouldn't be ran automatically in that case, etc. I just mean that there somehow should be such section in the documentation, so that people who know such stuff can contribute.

Is it as simple as 'If a braille display is plugged in, brltty and Orca will be started automatically'? Also, does the same happen in other circumstances?

Re: Accessibility Documentation
Hi, There should probably a section about automatic start of accessibility features. For instance, if a braille display is detected by udev, brltty is automatically started and orca too (or at least I've reported a bug to make that happen :) ) Samuel -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Accessibility Documentation
Hi guys, At the moment, the system documentation doesn't have much information on the accessibility tools which are available in Ubuntu. To try and rectify this, I've prepared a new document for possible inclusion in the gutsy documentation. Could someone please look over the current draft (attached) and offer some feedback? We're planning to add links to existing GNOME documentation on accessibility tools, and this document would probably be linked to as a top-level topic (on the Yelp front page).
