Two things made me post this; the recent announcements by devs that TOKOMAK had come out making Plasma run on a touchscreen, and a GNOME Planet posting about accessibility.

I would like to point out that KDE's accessibility section is under-represented, and I would also ask this is broadcast on the website.

Now, I am disabled myself; being disabled, you tend to meet a lot of people in a similar state; some are basically disabled; they have poor vision, others are physically disabled, limb movement is inaccurate. etc etc.

Now, my point is that touchscreen devices are a whole different UI ballgame, and so is making such an interface accessible...

On another note, I've just been asked by someone to mention that whilst Oxygen is very, very pretty, there needs to be a high-contrast, multi-coloured theme for users; Having black and white icons is all very well and good, but when you cannot distingush one black blob from another black blob, there needs to be SOME way to tell them apart...
