Well, I see that Ubuntu wishes to be on tabs or phones or all other such
machines, but I don't clearly see that the vission has accessibility
that seriously.
These days I hear that android is quite improved on accessibility and
has done so pritty quickly.
This is what it means by being serious about accessibility.
happy hacking.

I agree. It's a shame that Canonical is so focused on replacing GNOME
with Unity, replacing Wayland with Mir, building its own cloud
deployment solution, putting Ubuntu on every device, that it only has a
single developer to spare for access, which is why I've asked for years
what meaningful action can be done about that. Even Android pushes out
accessibility improvements faster than does Ubuntu these days. But there
just doesn't seem like enough interest from Canonical--too busy
pandering to their able-bodied users I suppose--so I'm at a loss.
The issue isn't resources. It's priorities.
I agree it's a shame there aren't more resources for accessibility,
and it is obviously a case of priorities and not resources. I don't
agree though that it's a case of Canonical just pandering to their
able bodied users. Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical have a vision of an
OS that encompasses smart phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and
servers. I want to see this vision succeed, and I want to see ubuntu
rival Windows, Android and the Apple OS's. I think this will benefit
all computer users, including the blind. Last I knew, Canonical was
trying to accomplish this, and build their commercial business, with
around 500 employees and has yet to make a profit.
I agree we should be clambering for more resources for accessibility
and we should be demanding that accessibility be a higher priority,
but I don't think that we should be asking Canonical to give up it's
vision to accomplish this or that we should mis characterize these
efforts as just pandering to their sighted users.
