it is openSUSE goal, but also openSUSE is not perpetum mobile. Someone
have to do the work. So you do not need to convince me that it is
useful feature. As I said I do not think that SUSE will sponsor such
work, but it can be done as side project by community or by SUSE as
part of hackweek.
But for that goal I need to know what needs to be done and ideally how
to test it? E.g. I expect mouse is useless for blind people right? so
you use keyboard only? Or do you have/need special hardware? I do not
know any blind people around who I can ask, so I expect that you
involve and helps with testing and also with answering questions when
we start implementing it. E.g. you can be co-mentor if we add it as
Google Summer of Code project.
