As an admin on Anarchopedia, one guy asked me to open "disability Anarchopedia". You can see our talk on the page http://eng.anarchopedia.org/index.php/User_talk:Millosh#Dear_Millosh.2C (from this heading to the rest of the page).
Hm. There is no problem to open one or more MediaWikis, but the same MediaWiki engine would to nothing. I was thinking about changing of Monobook skin, but it seems that it is not enough.
As this is not only Anarchopedia-related question; as well as it should be implemented on Wikimedian projects, too; as well as this is important issue -- I would like to hear is there any good solution for people with disabilities so they can be able to equally contribute to MediaWiki projects?
I was thinking about using Emacs (it has wiki interface and I am sure that I found that it has some interfaces for persons with disabilities), but Emacs is too complex...
Is there anything else which can be used? If not, is there a people who are willing to work on such issue? If not, may WMF fund a project with aim to solve this problem?
Well, I wouldn't used Emacs. All the remote modes seem to be designed for the Oddmuse engine which runs the Emacs Wiki; I've only ever found syntax highlighting packages and such for Mediawiki installations.
Now, using a text browser like w3-el and the emacspeak program might be worth looking into, but that's a very general solution.
