Re: [orca-list] Fedora 32 Anaconda GUI not accessible

[Nick Wood <nick microlitesoftware co uk>]

Thanks Didier. Maybe I need to look at changing my distro if Fedora 
keeps heading down an increasingly inaccessible route.

I agree - Joanie is fantastic, and the work on the Chromium browser is a 
great example of accessibility moving forward.

However, Joanie alone won't keep Linux accessible - and unless we can 
raise accessibility as a higher priority amongst the general devs, we 
will struggle to keep things as accessible as they are today.

Regards,

Nick
