Re: Need your comments was: Packackages.d.o - New Download Table on Package Pages
I just visited the web page showing the Debian packages. It worked
extremely well with my browser. I believe the way you've put it
together is quite good.

Hi!
I did not get any comments on the package page examples from vision impaired
people.
Please can you have a look at the URL down in the quote and comment? If you
want my messages with call for help different from what they are, please tell
me. I am really lost, if I try to increase accessibility of the Debian web
pages and get no comments.
As the current download table looks really ugly in lynx, I have made an
attempt to increase accessibility by changing the table. The order is now
that all information about one architecture is in one table row instead of
a column. In addition the form was removed and replaced by a download link.
The links will _not_ work on that server as the cgi is not there, so please
be not surprised.
I want you to view the page with any browser and, maybe, with screen reader
or braille.
Here is the URL of the ACPI package page. But you may visit any other page
there in stable:
http://www.witch.westfalen.de/debian/packages.debian.org/stable/admin/
apcd.html
For those using a graphical browser: The background colour of the table is
taken from the menu color on the main page of debian.org.
For those using screen readers: I am not sure, if css is supported when
using them. There are lots of css features for blind people. But I still do
not know, who can test the Debian pages, if we implement such features.
greetings
Jutta
