It wouldn't be a bad start for us to make sure that our new contributor 
processes are sufficiently accessible.  I'd be willing to bet that the blind 
would have a difficult time contributing even if they wanted to.  If we open 
the doors for people with disabilities to contribute directly, they could 
make some of the necessary changes without mandatory assistance from others.

I must admit, my vision is bad and it certainly isn't getting better, so I 
have a little incentive to push for an accessible Fedora desktop.  ;-)
