Universal access logo This page contains a list of the work we want to accomplish with GNOME Accessibility and a rough idea of when we want to get it done. Since GNOME depends heavily on contributions of community members, our ability to meet our goals varies with the size and participation of the community. The more you contribute, the faster we meet our goals.
