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".

Agreed, target missed. How about renaming it Daltonism theme?

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 ...

Post an ishihara plate and ask anyone who can't see the correct number to reply?
