I once wrote this page: http://brl.thefreecat.org/wiki/Installer to try to document what I had done in Debian. > The person Tony mentioned a while working on access for Debian and with > speakup does not experience sight loss at all. I guess he was thinking about me. I do not indeed. But it's only because I have had the opportunity to discuss at length for years with a blind person about using a Unix system that I have a not-too-bad idea of what should be done. And I still fail now and then. For instance, I had never thought that the rescue mode of the Debian Installer could welcome accessibility support (I never use it myself actually, that could explain why, but still). It's only by accident that during some discussion somebody mentioned that it could be useful, and then I implemented with just a couple of changes in the Installer. But again it's only because at some point the technical capability and the feature request happened to meet.
