The Gnome and KDE Accessibility Projects together with the Free Standards
Group Accessibility Work group (FSG Accessibility) have issued a
Statement
On Desktop Accessibility Development. "
We wish to allay any
concern that our standardization efforts might be focused on any one
particular toolkit or desktop technology to the exclusion of other toolkits
and desktops. We believe it is imperative to preserve choice and to
maximize available options for users. Therefore we are developing an
accessibility standard based on functional performance criteria implemented
in messaging protocols fully independent of any particular toolkit or
desktop technology. We believe users who are persons with disabilities
should be empowered to choose technologies from any and all environments
which provide accessibility just as other desktop users today routinely use
a mix of technologies from different desktop environments. Our goal is
seamless interoperability." (Found on
