Some of you may not now but there is one Visually impaired editor on the Hindi Wikipedia by the name Anirudha, perhaps it would be useful to get in touch with him and get more feedback.

Hoi, I am talking with the Polish chapter to extend the functionality of the OpenDyslexic font ... I am waiting for their GO/NOGO. Thanks, GerardM

Can WMUK collaborate with WMDE (and others) on this to push it forward? Obviously a lot of good work has already been done, but perhaps it now needs some long term commitment and leadership to ensure that what has
been
done is made easily accessible, and to work on filling gaps in functionality (covering all aspects of disability).

How about starting with what a 'ULS' is? That would help :)

Hoi, One obvious point to start is the functionality of the ULS. It already serves one function for people who have a handicap with their
perception.
It has the OpenDyslexic font for people with dyslexia. There are
multiple
ways functionality can be provided who have a visual handicap. The
size
of
the characters can be increased, the colour scheme can be changed
(some
people only see yellow on white..)
If there is one thing wrong with the ULS, it is not in the
functionality
but by the utter lack of visibility. ULS is a major component of
MediaWiki
and it is not given prominence, Truly how are people going to find OpenDyslexic... (we are talking about 7 to 10% of a population)...
Work is done to get more support for webfonts on mobile phones.. It is being developed. Thanks, GerardM
