Because my eyesight is very poor I am having considerable difficulty reading the faint test used extensively on the Drupal website. Small text can be enlarged, but faint text or test on coloured backgrounds are impossible.

I would be extremely grateful if you could do something about it.

Thank you in advance.

A redesign of drupal.org is underway, you can preview the mock-ups at https://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype/homep...
Is the new design easier to read? You should post on http://groups.drupal.org/drupalorg-redesign-implementers/ for any issue with the new design

You can also increase the contrast of text against the background via your browser settings. For firefox you can go to preferences > content > Fonts & Colors > Colors. Then set your colors and uncheck the checkbox that allows pages to choose their own colors. I am sure IE offers the option as well but I don't use it so I don't know where it would be. Opera and Chrome don't seem to have the option. I may be wrong but I couldn't find them.

The new website for Drupal should be assessed against US/UK accessibility standards. There are also best practice rules for font contrast, size, page colours, etc. It would be nice if the new site had something about it's validation intent/progress. It would mainly be down to the templates (which maybe should be STRICT Doc. types!) but core programs which supply HTML would have a part to play. It's a big subject so a forum dedicated to just that would be great. Many websites such as the RNIB and W3schools have things to say about this.
