Comments on: Putting our Accessibility Heads Together http://news.opensuse.org/2011/01/06/putting-our-accessibility-heads-together-2/ The latest news from the openSUSE project Sat, 25 May 2013 20:00:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: macias http://news.opensuse.org/2011/01/06/putting-our-accessibility-heads-together-2/comment-page-1/#comment-23832 macias Thu, 20 Jan 2011 11:23:33 +0000 http://news.opensuse.org/?p=5963#comment-23832 This is ridiculous. You want (well, you just said it, I am not sure there is a real will there) improvements in A11Y area, but you cannot and you DON’T WANT to improve U7Y, which is the basics of any other improvement in UI.

Example — installer of opensuse uses mixed order of buttons, the report about it — closed. Several reports about fixing behaviour of Yast — closed or postponed (“funny” issues, reports about regressions, are converted from bugs to feature requests).

Make up your mind then, either you really want to polish user interface, or you don’t want. Making UI more accessible to handicapped users, means they get all the mess non-handicapped users have to struggle now.

Bottom line is, I see you don’t want/you don’t know how, to make good UI in terms of U7Y, so you won’t succeed in A11Y.

Hats off to you for the enthusiasm and good luck. It’s not exactly my Forte, but I understand the points raised and certainly the need for good integration of this in the openSUSE project.
