well, to be blunt, target group completely missed. i don't think many
people with red-green colorblindness consider themselves blind or even
in need of special care. in fact, many of those less impaired (which
constitute ~80% of the ~5% affected) don't even realize they are impaired
at all until some "key event".

hmm, we must be doing something wrong - with every 20th male being
affected, we should have at least 10 active kde devels we can ask, even
if our group is biased towards non-affected people ...
