Re: Accessibility documentation

Yes, I would definitely like to help with that. I’ll take a look at that 
quick docs page. I’ll start with installing Fedora with Orca, as there are 
things that a new user will have to do, like exPortbbing environment vars 
for accessibility, which is not well-documented anywhere really, and 
turning on "assistive technology" support.
