As an admin on Anarchopedia, one guy asked me to open "disability
Anarchopedia". You can see our talk on the page
http://eng.anarchopedia.org/index.php/User_talk:Millosh#Dear_Millosh.2C
(from this heading to the rest of the page).

Hm. There is no problem to open one or more MediaWikis, but the same
MediaWiki engine would to nothing. I was thinking about changing of
Monobook skin, but it seems that it is not enough.

As this is not only Anarchopedia-related question; as well as it
should be implemented on Wikimedian projects, too; as well as this is
important issue -- I would like to hear is there any good solution for
people with disabilities so they can be able to equally contribute to
MediaWiki projects?

I was thinking about using Emacs (it has wiki interface and I am sure
that I found that it has some interfaces for persons with
disabilities), but Emacs is too complex...

Is there anything else which can be used? If not, is there a people
who are willing to work on such issue? If not, may WMF fund a project
with aim to solve this problem?
