That's a good idea. But I will need other people to give me ideas of
what they have found to be accessible and what is not.
I tend to live almost all of my Linux life in the command line. The only
graphical software I use is Libre Office. And occasionally SciTE.
Other than that I do all my editing with emacs in the cli, all my WiFi
management in the cli, and all file manipulation in the cli as well.

Hi Mike,
Could we have a section to highlight accessible software on the pi? What I am
thinking that they can be reviews of various software which will help people
getting into the pi.
Thanks.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Content for newly relaunched Web site
Hello folks,
I am asking what content people would like to see on the site.
I have just written a blog post which says I want the site to focus on the
Raspberry Pi, because I rather think other single-board computers, like the
Beaglebone Black, have been a bit left behind by the Pi, and the repeated
launch of more and more versions.
You may disagree. If there is strong disagreement, I have not deleted the
content for three other single-board computers I had before:
* Beaglebone Black
* Banana Pi
* Orange Pi
I think the site should emphasise its original purpose. Which was to give
blind and visually impaired users of the Raspberry Pi a helping hand by
making textual descriptions of some of the things which are so often
illustrated either with graphics or videos elsewhere on the Web.
In addition to the textual descriptions of each version of the Pi, including
tours round the board to identify each port, the site includes guides about
writing SD cards, using SSH to connect from another computer, and other such
useful things.
If you can think of anything else that you would like to see, give me a
suggestion.
Note that I do not want to duplicate, and cannot hope to replace the huge
amount of data and guides elsewhere on the Web, but articles should focus on
our needs as blind and VI users.
Others might have more access to sighted help than I do, so I am not averse
to articles and blog posts about things which we might not be able to achieve
alone.
Mike
