Hoi,
Between 7 and 10% of a population is dyslexic. For them reading takes much
more effort than it does for the rest of us. As it is, the English
Wikipedia has a font available for people who are dyslexic. It is the
OpenDyslexic font.
It is possible to configure en.wp and many other Wikipedias by clicking
somewhere... There are a few questions I would like to ask:
- did you know this many people have a problem reading Wikipedia
- did you know these people can be helped with a different font
- do you know how to configure Wikipedia to read with the OpenDyslexic
font
- do you agree that this should be more obvious and easy
- what can we do to raise awareness for usability in MediaWiki in
general and for dyslexia in specific
Thanks,
GerardM
