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 I did not update the translation-check headers, as some translations had other outdated parts, and I was unsure of proper procedure.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

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
