Peter, we have now linked to your first post on this topic.
Do you have plans to research the possibility of importing Spacemacs
keybindings to Emacs before you memorize too many of those Emacs
keybindings?

Hello,
It took me a long time to decide but I have attempted to start first
blog post of what I hope will be a series on short tips on emacs
accessibility.
For example I am looking into it for about a year sporadically.
I like F123E plan but instead of automation I would rather like to do
something that would build on Arch linux philosophy. I am not going to
rewrote the documentation but I would like to try showing some success
stories while handling these things. Most of the articles end with a
message saying something like it has a bit higher learning curve etc
but unfortunatelly very little of them actually showcase how to go
about changing that.
Let's see how this attempt will turn out.
So far I have got into basic buffer navigation and manipulation
commands, navigating around emacs in general, emacs editing commands,
understood so called easy customizations, got my-self to install and
upgrade packages from elpa / melpa, briefly started playing with org
mode, learned about basic dired file manipulation features, managed to
connect to twitter with twittering-mode. And some invisible issues
along my way such as debugging issues with request.el library and
curl, getting epg working with gpg.
These are things I hope I have learned enough so I can comfortably use
them.
Next on my todo list are knowing speechd-el better, emacs packages
such as matrix-client for inovative instant messaging and more, jabber
for classic messaging, gnus for email, sauron for integrated
notifications.
This is my initial plan and these are things I wish to eventually
cover later.
My first article just talks about installing and running emacs for the
first time.

Of course if you have ideas, comments, anything feel free to post.
Thanks and greetings
Peter

Thanks to those who have sent feedback to my emails to various lists.
So far this is what I have found out:
A lot of people are in agreement regarding the need for:
* An easier way to install and setup Emacspeak;
* An easier way for Emacspeak to use eSpeak and/or other
synthesizers; and
* At least one expert also mentioned that Spacemacs does not solve
all issues, as it has some inaccessible output.
However, it has been said that:
* SpeechD-el can make Emacs accessible;
* SpeechD-el already works well with Speech-Dispatcher and eSpeak;
* SpeechD-el is already easier to install and is multilingual by
default;
* SpeechD-el could even be used to bridge communication between
Emacspeak and Speech-Dispatcher and eSpeak; and
* it might be easier to just bring Spacemacs keybindings to classic
Emacs rather than move all of the SpeechD-el or Emacspeak
accessibility to Spacemacs.
I have updated our project document accordingly:
