I've seen a lot of discussion this week, about GNOME and accessibility.
Has anyone got a realistic assessment of how much money would be needed to pay developers to sort this?
Presumably there's some (more) initial work, and then an ongoing cost too.
I know that some grants are already paying for some work here, but how much more is needed, realistically?

@neil I don't think money (or lack of it is the problem).
It's not about fixing bugs in software. We need to fix the people and processes.
If a major distro (eg. Fedora) with a steering committee, #accessibility team and a formal release process does not notice their screenreader is broken on install or consider it a blocking bug, money won't help.
Reporting bugs or fixing them once solves nothing, as next time there's a release something else will break.
