Hello all,
Hi Devin,
I'm Devin, a pretty new Fedora user, but have been using Linux
off and on for a
few years now. I'm also blind, using the Orca screen reader for a lot of web
and email stuff, along with Emacs and Emacspeak for most writing tasks.
I'd like to help with documentation and anything else really, as Fedora has a
lot of documentation on Emacs with Emacspeak. While that's great, it's far
easier for beginners to use Orca with Fedora's Mate spin, and use Firefox and
other GTK and a few QT programs, than it is to start out with Emacs and Gnus
and such.
I haven't found any centralised documentation on accessibility in Fedora
yet (probably because all the desktop environments are sort of supposed
to have their own documentation upstream?). I see that the
accessibility guide used to be part of the docs before, but hasn't been
there in recent releases:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html-single/Accessibility_...)
I did find a wiki page that has some information, but it's quite out of date:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Accessibility
Would you like to write up some documentation pages on Orca and
Emacspeak, perhaps for the quick-docs to begin with?

The sources are here:

We follow the pull request model for new contributions, and there are
lots of folks around to help with writing and reviewing tasks.
