Dear Maintainer,

on  "https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-accessibility/",
the link down near the bottom to "https://community.kde.org/Accessibility"
should be updated to "https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/accessibility"
as the article has been moved to that location.

p.s. I would love to learn how to contribute, and this seems like a
relatively simple task. If anybody wants to point me towards how I
can/could fix this myself, I would be really happy.

Hello Maintainer,

the link "https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility"

also links to a retired site (as per the banner at the top).

I found "https://developer.gnome.org/hig/guidelines/accessibility.html"

which may serve as a viable replacement.

Hi Joey,

Thanks for asking about this!

The easiest way to get involved is to work on things like this. The
source for the website is at

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/

If you're comfortable with git and MRs, please submit fixes that way.

Hi Steve,

I have had a look at "https://www.debian.org/devel/website/" because the
site you linked to recommended it as reading.

I have not done this before, but it does not seem too hard to learn.

Thankyou very much for the opportunity!

Joey

Hello Steve,

I created a Salsa account, but it is currently awaiting approval.

I have cloned the site using HTTPS as outlined in
"https://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_git",

and made the edits to both English and the translations that had the
Accessibility page.

Is there a way I can make a merge request without an account?


I did not update the translation-check headers, as some translations had
other outdated parts,

and I was unsure of proper procedure. I also put every translation
update in a separate commit;

is this correct procedure?


Thanks,

Joey

Hi Joey,

Nope, you need an account on salsa to open an MR. If you're not
already approved, please let us know the salsa account name you've
tried to sign up with and we can help get it approved.

*potentially* - the smart_change.pl script is normally the best way to
do that if you're committing straight to the master branch. If you're
working via an MR, then things are a little more complicated as commit
hashes are likely to change under you.

Let's see the MR when it's ready.

Hello Steve,

I have been trying and failing to make a merge request.

I have gotten my Salsa account approved, and forked the project to
https://salsa.debian.org/Joey-aechelish/webwml-linkupdate/

but I cannot figure out how to push to it or pull from it. I succeeded
in rebasing to the project, but SSH would not work, and git push gave me
a 403 error, even though I am the owner and gave myself permission to
push to it.

I'm pretty stuck at the moment, and cannot find solutions. If you could
please provide guidance that would be extremely appreciated. I'm sure I
likely missed a step somewhere in the instructions, but for the life of
me I cannot determine what it is.

Thanks for your patience,

Joey

Go to your project's page at
<https://salsa.debian.org/Joey-aechelish/webwml-linkupdate/>

Find the blue "Code"-Button, click it and there copy the URL under "Clone with SSH".

In a terminal on your local machine, in a directory of your choice, call
"git clone <the-copied-URL-from-above>.

Make your change.

git commit ...

git push

Hello both of you

The merge request is created and available at
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/merge_requests/1135

Thankyou to Steve for your help in getting me oriented and staying
patient (VERY much appreciated) and

thanks to Holger for coming up out of the blue and helping me with that
last bit.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do, and also if there is
anything I should do differently next time.

Thanks,

Joey
