 Hi Rian,

 readers. 2 Weeks ago I listened to a talk by Florian Beijers (@zersiax on
 Twitter): Accessibility in software development tools. Florian is a blind
 software developer and he tested a lot of code editors and none performed
 sufficient for screen readers.

 Could you get a wish list from Florian Beijers perhaps and we could build
 him one. There's enough talent in core Trac that there's nothing stopping
 us from building a good prototype screen reader editor. I'll admit that if
 we have to make it work properly within an existing code editor (no reason
 we should), the task is about ten times more complicated. But if we just
 focus on the screen reader experience we should be able get to working
 prototype within weeks.

 I find it exciting that WordPress core might be able to make a substantial
 contribution to the screen reader editing experience and provide a
 prototype which other CMS could take and add to their own code edit
 module. We '''can''' change the world for the better.
