I requested creation of this mailing list, and since the new mailing list manager doesn't use long descriptions, I wanted to post this to the list itself for reference and as a guide for discussion. The FreeBSD accessibility mailing list is for discussing accessibility of the base FreeBSD system. Intended audience: - FreeBSD users or would-be users with disabilities. - FreeBSD contributors interested in designing, implementing, and or documenting accessibility features. On-topic (examples): - Reports of inaccessible or poorly accessible FreeBSD features and of unmet accessibility requirements. - Discussion of FreeBSD accessibility features and of accessibility enhancements (specification, design, testing, and feedback). - Questions about FreeBSD accessibility features and how to use them. - Reports and discussion of application accessibility problems specific to FreeBSD. Off-topic (examples): - Application accessibility other than application accessibility problems specific to FreeBSD. - Software accessibility in general. - Discussion of accessibility or disability in general. Very important note: Knowing why an accessibility feature or requested change is needed or useful can sometimes inform how it should be designed or implemented, and thus may be useful for developers to know. However, unless they have accessibility needs the contemplated feature or change would help with (or, as it sometimes happen, hinder), they should assume that it is indeed needed or useful and refrain from arguing otherwise. Respectfully suggesting existing alternatives might be acceptable in some cases, but always be prepared to take "no, that doesn't work for me" (with or without elaboration) for an answer gracefully and to leave it at that. Remember that the user with a certain disability or set of disabilities is the expert, sometimes the life-long expert, on the ways they use computers, and thus their word is final. Pau Amma
