Hi,
I have the possebility to support writing an article regarding Linux
accessibility for blind people in one of the biggest German computer
magazines called "C'T" from the Heise publisher the together with an
author who is responsible for creating linux based content for this
paper very ofthen. The author asked me the following questions and I'd
be very happy if you write me your comments for his questions please.
Question 1: Is Mate the only desktop environment that can be used by
blind Linux users?
Hehe, I know this is not the case, but why do you prefer other desktop
environments? Which desktops do you use?
Question 2: What can we expect by the new accessibility frameworks
Newton and AccessKit? Whats your opinion about this new frameworks?
Are they usefull or just another new technique which is not really
neccessary?
Here my technical knowledge is just not big enough to tell the author
something really usefull. Can you help me out with this point please?
Question 3: Is the new Wayland framework a showstopper for blind Linux
users? If yes, why, and if not, what are the current problems with
Wayland regarding the usage of Orca and are there workarounds to
handle the current difficulties?
I do not use Wayland and for that reason I have no experience
regarding problems or difficulties using it and the things that are
still missing to have the same ease of use we have with Xorg. So, what
are the problems, what will change with Wayland, what is still working
and what will not longer function with Wayland?
Already a big thank you for your thoughts, findings and support about
this topics and questions!
Ciao,
Schoepp
