 We should consider bundling a high contrast admin colour scheme with
 WordPress to aid accessibility for the visually impaired.

 Some discussion on this has taken place previously on IRC but nothing much
 beyond that.

 Some potential points of discussion:
  * Is anyone in the [http://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/ WordPress
 accessibility group] an expert on accessibility for the visually impaired?
 Can we get someone on board for some expert guidance?
  * Is an admin colour scheme sufficient? Would any JavaScript need
 altering too? If so, would an admin colour scheme suffice as a starting
 point?
