Something like

Some work has been done on the debian-installer side: the "dark" theme
for colorblind people have been improved, a beep has been added to the

and support for hardware speech synthesizers (aka speakup) is on its

Yes and No.  It's precisely when one doesn't know, that one realizes
what needs to be documented :)

Maybe it would be interesting to give the URL to the fosdem presentation
I made?

"How accessible is Debian?"
