Kendell, Please do write on the topic you're suggesting. Anything you can do to improve understanding of accessibility issues would be welcome. Many of those who are sighted simply don't understand the issues faced by blind people. While some issues are obvious, there are many that would simply not occur to a sighted person.
It is thanks in part to Jonathan Nadeau that I am working at Red Hat, so have a keen interest in this topic. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "kendell clark" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, 14 May, 2015 7:29:12 AM > Subject: [Osdc-list] the digital accessible information format > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > hi all > I've been thinking about writing an article on opensource.com to > expand on my accessibility in linux article.
