[Foundation-l] VPAT

[FT2]

Spreading free knowledge implies a good free knowledge infrastructure,
including reputable free knowledge tools. We don't need the US govt to use
any given software, it pays to make it as widely usable and not block
ourselves from any major group who might want to try using Mediawiki.

Not least 1/ the US govt is not the only such body (other groups receiving
federal funds?) and 2/ we ourselves have a genuine interest in ensuring we
think hard how those with disabilities experience Wikimedia in everyday use,
when creating our platform.
