+	<para>
+	 GNOME has a passion for making software available to everyone, including
+	 users and developers with impairments that can make it harder to use their
+	 computer. To help, GNOME created the GNOME Accessibility Project and an
+	 accessibility framework that is now a standard on libre desktops.

+	<para>
+	 GNOME &gnomeversion; continues to build on its prior accessibility
+	 credentials with several improvements.

+		<para>
+		 Since GNOME 2.0, it has been possible to focus the GNOME Panel using
+		 the key combination
+		 <keycombo><keycap>Control</keycap><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>Tab</keycap></keycombo>.
+		 A user could then use the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key to move between items
+		 on the panel, except for the notification icons.
+		</para>
+		<para>
+		 Since GNOME &gnomeversion; it is now possible to navigate to a
+		 notification icon using only the keyboard.
