Somebody sent me an email with comments regarding problems with the
Linux Kernel Version History pages for people suffering from colour
blindness. Unfortunately, I suffered a power cut whilst reading your
email, and when the power came back and I got back online, your email
had vanished, so can you please resend it.
Some points I will make with regards to this point though, which you
may wish to consider when resending it:
1. I suffer from Red-Green colour blindness myself, with the
result that I am not the ideal person to determine colour
schemes for web pages. It is largely for this reason that
I keep my pages reasonably simple, and don't normally use
lavish colour schemes.
2. Because of the above, I designed the pages to be readable
easily by myself, and by people suffering from the same
form of colour blindness. In general, I find pages on a
Cyan background the easiest to read, which is why I have
used that colour scheme on my pages.
I am of course willing to listen to any criticism on this front, and
to try out any suggestions that come my way, but if I can't read the
resulting pages myself, they will not go online. I consider this to be
reasonable.
Best wishes from Riley.
PS: The kernel versions page is now back online at the URL below, and
includes separate sublists both for each kernel series, and for
each year of development.
