Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] wiki.documentfoundation.org - Vote_for_Enhancement: Implement the IAccessible2 accessibility API

Hi :)
I think you have to edit the wiki to add your own comment in a relevant place.  If you can check 
out other items on the page you find that some have 3 or 4 reasons why their idea should be dealt 
with.  


I was thinking about adding something about organisations needing to be able to show the software 
they use could theoretically be used by people by people that have accessibility issues.  Given 
real discrimination out there they probably wont have to show it really all works but at least it's 
a 1st step to breaking down some of the discriminatory practices by reducing the amount of excuses 
they can invent.  

Regards from
Tom :)
