Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Accessibility: JavaScript, screen readers, slow connections, etc./reply (7)

I’m not sure if I’m understanding everything right here and I must say that I’m worried that there will be no way for taking part in discussions in the future anymore, just because it shall not be "technically feasible" that every user can take part like it is up to now. If it is not feasible that every user can take part on the projects and with new features, then it is better that the new features will never get live because then they make things worse. I really don’t understand that. You wrote also that there will be a fallback, but I don’t understand how it’s supposed to be, if it could be not possible to edit talk pages anymore (if I understood that right).

Now to VisualEditor: It’s AFAIK a feature that is supposed to be added optionally to the now-being system, but not replacing it in any way. So, the standard will be wikitext like now and if you want you can enable VE. Is that right? Because I can’t imagine in any way a new feature that is only accessible with JS to replace a system like normal wikitext, as the wikitext is compatible and accessible to everyone, and the new system isn’t. I think that I will not be around anymore, if it will come to that there will be no way to edit anything anymore (because VisualEditor will surely affect every page and not only talk pages). Is it that the foundation aims to get people out that haven’t the right technology for editing or am I understanding everything wrong here? It’s really hard to understand for me what is happening here and why.

All I want is that every new feature that is being developped and that has already been developped and put live, will be and will get accessible to everyone. I don’t know why, but it seems to me that there is not enough energy or drive within the foundation or developers or whatever to put that aim forward (despite the fact that this is not a commercial company who tries to make as much as money with their products but is claims to be a non-profit which I nearly can’t even believe anymore). It is or it should be the most important thing at all for every new developped feature to be accessible and compatible to everyone in a way that doesn’t affect too much, and that it doesn’t produce new errors or problems that wouldn’t be there without it. Everything else shouldn’t be as much important as that. If it doesn’t fulfil this then it should never get implemented. Cause you shouldn’t change a running system that isn’t out of order to make it out of order for a lot of people.
