263343 - Change Browser:Accessibility APIs and Firefox:Accessibility to Disability Access

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

People think "accessibility" means access to a website. Or they don't know what
it is and choose it because it's first.

Every day I get bugs filed on me where people file bugs that have nothing to do
with access by people with disabilities. It's a big waste of time.

Can I have the name changed to:
"Access by disabled users"
or
"A11y" -- so that people need to look it up before they choose it.

this is for the firefox product, right? Browser:Accessibility APIs stays as-is?

I get the same problem with both, let's change them to be the same thing.

It is not really anything to do with other than the recipients of the bogus
reports, but you may want to note that Apple use the term "Universal Access",
may be this rings more true than disabled users ...

I'm cool with changing to a better name.
