Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Fw: [libreoffice-accessibility] Libo 3.6 Broken with Screen readers

Maybe there needs to be a wiki page dedicated for info on getting the 
"listed" accessibility package to work with LibreOffice.

That might be very helpful for users with vision issues.  I know that 
some people, I deal with that have severe vision problems, have 
"helpers" when it comes to things that needs a sighted person to deal 
with the "issues".

The more help we can offer the users with accessibility issues, the 
better it is for positive PR, besides being the "proper" thing to do for 
our users.
