Hi Marc,

A top post for a short answer :) I'm usually testing LibreOffice with
Orca. I've also in mind to port the FAQ we had on OOo to LibO in English
and French, here:
http://wiki.april.org/w/Tutoriels_d%27accessibilit%C3%A9

Kind regards
Sophie

Just out of curiosity, who is on this mailing list and is interested in
seriously helping out with getting accessibility issues fixed with
LibreOffice?

When I say "interested in seriously helping out", I mean people who
would help doing some

* QA (Quality Assurance) work -- this involves helping confirming
accessibility bugs, and testing fixes to the bugs. The QA Team will even
help mentoring people who are willing to do this!

* helping out at conferences -- in your region -- this involves as
little as dropping of pamphlets ... to as much involvement as manning a
booth and discussing accessibility advantages with LibreOffice

* discussing topics here on this list and actively seeking good/solid
feature suggestions for our developers ... talk is cheap, but, if talk
leads to making the accessibility attributes of LibreOffice more
compelling as a tool for people who are in need of an office suite with
solid accessibility features, then it is worth it. If you have design
ideas about the user interface relating to accessibility, then discuss
it here with other accessibility members and we will help submit it to
the design team.

* did you know that there is an Accessibility wiki page[1]? If you can
type and have some spare time, you could help update the wiki page
(cooperate with another member of the Accessibility Team or after
discussing of some changes on this list) OR help beautify the wiki page.
If you think there should be more information on the page for our users,
then suggest it here. If you are willing to help with the wiki and don't
know how to do this, we will help you. Visit the page and have a
look-see![1]

"Helping" or "Contributing" do not mean putting mega hours of work; you
decide on the amount of time, and, if in doubt of where/how to help, we
will help you find a place where your contribution would best fit and be
most appreciated.

If you are on this list and are such a person, just respond with a +1
(we don't need to hear of any -1). This will give us a better idea of
how much interest of the people on this list who are willing to help and
contribute. Should we put a "Members" list on the wiki for people to sign?

BTW ... in case you are wondering, seriously talking about accessibility
issues on this list IS considered contributing.

Cheers,

Marc
