[orca-list] GNOME Accessibility Testimonials

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

Hello, everyone.

It was suggested to me on the gnome-accessibility mailing list that a 
Testimonials page on the GNOME Accessibility Wiki would be a great idea. 
I am not completely experienced in designing Wikis and such, but I am 
learning. I feel that this would be a great idea, and so I am writing to 
members here on the Orca list for your input.

My idea for this page is as follows (in brief):

The page would be, in a sense, a way to promote free desktops. It would 
include testimonials from users who rely on the accessibility features 
and applications which come with GNOME, such as Orca and the Zoom 
feature. This page would include pictures of uses (optional) as well as 
the testimonials mentioned above, and these would be published under a 
free license.

Thee is no general format required for a testimonial, but just to be of 
aid some of the following points may be helpful in forming one:

-List your disability, if applicable
-Your technical background (e.g. operating systems you have used, 
computer experience, etc)
-How you use GNOME (i.e. what accessibility component, if any, do you 
use in order to use your system)
...

I am still quite new to all of this, but I want to contribute in some 
way, and I feel that this is one way in which I can do so.

Since this thread is not completely related to Orca in general I think 
that, for persons interested, it would be best to continue further 
communications about this topic off-list unless otherwise stated by a 
list administrator as I do not wish to distract away from other topics.

If you are interested in adding your testimonial to the page when it is 
created, please write to me off-list. Also, if you have any suggestions 
or input I would definitely be open to it.

I wish you all the best, and thank you very much for any help and input 
on this.
