Hi Patrick,

I am wondering: if i edit the email and cut some parts of the
conversation, will this still be easily readable or interpretable by a
braille reader?

For now, i will just leave everything intact and answer inline until you
tell me how to do it the best way.

That is great.

You can set yourself as an assignee on these two tasks on
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7506
and https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7508
So we know that somebody is working on them.

Concerning ticket #7508 i suppose you will need to edit
wiki/src/templates/page.tmpl.

That means editing a template which is more or less shipped by ikiwiki
as is. There is another ticket #7027 which might be related to this
intervention.

I have looked into the issue before and saw that our templates are still
pretty close to the upstream version. But you might want to check this
out before working on #7508.

For the other ticket, i think you might need to edit a lot of different
pages. (I'll let sajolida confirm this, as i am not 100% sure of what
has been said already on the subject.)

Do you need any help with this in particular or did you manage to
checkout the repository already?
