Genuinely thanks, I was familiar with the second two links but the first link in particular is useful. I've been trying to get a handle around the inner workings of Linux accessibility in my spare time for a while, so I'm grateful for more resources.
So this is not meant to be dismissive of you, I really do appreciate it, but also wow this is still pretty anemic documentation compared to most other tech fields. I kind of wonder if this is also a chicken-and-egg problem because the way the healthy documentation springs up around projects is enough people use the projects that they run into issues, they start documenting best practices... and in areas like Linux accessibility where (as I understand it) there are often like 10-20 people total working on the technologies behind it at any given time, that community isn't going to exist and we're going to get tutorials that say stuff like:
> Of course, there are much more interfaces to use or implement for specific objects, like the Text interface for text controls, Table interface for tables, etc., but the principles of these interfaces are the same, just a normal DBus programming with all it entails.
So there aren't going to be a ton of people doing interesting things in that field or digging into how stuff works, which means it's not going to have people available to help make the field more approachable.
But again, I do appreciate the resources you did find.
