DISCUSSION: Making sure screen readers are available during setup

[Joshua Goins]

Hello,

I've been doing some screen reader things recently (such as the recommendation 
to pre-install Orca, which some distributions have already picked up on) and 
wanted to remind distros with an installer to look into making sure they are 
accessible to those who need screen readers.

I was prompted to do this because I tried to add it to plasma-welcome, but 
Nate reminded me that that it can be skipped and it would be best to do it 
early in the process of setting up a computer anyway. (Maybe once plasma-
welcome can do more installer-y things I can explore that again!)

I need to explore some distro installers and see, but I'm curious how many can 
at least prompt for enabling screen reading? If your distribution supports 
that I would like to hear (or maybe you can push on someone else to implement 
it!)

By the way, if you want to enable it in the KDE session if a user explicitly 
enabled it in your setup that's easy to do. KAccess (the accessibility daemon) 
reads for the Enabled key the [ScreenReader] in kaccessrc, however 
distributions prefer to set those 🙂

Thanks,
Joshua Goins
