As I have said more than once, that is not how this article is being
represented in the broader Linux community.
I will add that, by this person's own admission, clean up is the task he
is *choosing* to focus upon.
he is, according to those writing the article bringing accessibility to
Fedora workstation.
i respect that for those in the know, in the choir so to speak what he is
doing is clean up.
but that is not how the general Linux community is taking this
information.
Best,

Hi Karen,
It seems like discussion about this article has been flooding my inbox
over the past few days so I figured I'd finally read the article.
It looks like he's just going to tidy up GNOME application accessibility
which ... isn't that hard a job (at least for a sighted person), just
tedious and political. This doesn't really require high certifications
or degrees, just labor and people management.
If we demand people have amazing certifications to do work like this
then you'd end up in a situation like Gitea which has decided to close
and lockevery unfixed accessibility issue in their tracker and seek a
paid professional accessibility audit just to tell them to fix their bugs.
Saying speakup without espeakup is basically useless is a stretch, but
they're certainly rare devices at this point.
