Hi there.
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.
