Howdy list, My name is chrys. I m a visual impaired guy from germany. I m new to this list. Since Gnome gets more and more crippled i decide to change to KDE/ Plasma. And it was one of best decisions I did. Plasma is awsome and i wont miss it now (lol). I use KWins zoom plugin. My girlfrind is blind. She currently switched to Mate for the same reason like me. Mate is pretty accessible. But there are a lot of stuff missing what we would suspect from an modern desktop (search in menu and those stuff). Plasma has all that. So i decide to try plasma using Orca. My results: Its very slow, unstable and often hard to navigate. But it worked at all! thats more that i was suspecting. What tells me that the plasma shell already exposes the needed information to the at-spi (cool). Impressed by that results, I want start fixing up stuff for KDE/ Plasma/ QT a11y to make work for her (and ohters) one day. So i read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Accessibility and https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Accessibility what brings me to the point to say hello here in the list :). Sadly information is very rare in a11y stuff (not only for KDE). Thats why i want to find others who maybe already have knowledge to Mentor me or wants to work together with me to raise the motivation and fun :). on my way to get touched with that. So: 1. Is there someone out there who wants to join my effort? 2. Is there someone out there who can Mentor me a bit for my first steps? 3. Is there an effort what already exists what i can maybe join? cheers chrys
