We have a section in the official documentation which deals with
accessibility. You can access it by pressing System -> Help and Support
-> Assistive Tools, and the sources for that section can be found in our
branch of gnome-user-docs [1], in the gnome2-accessibility-guide
directory.

The old accessibility guide didn't mention Orca, which was a pretty
serious flaw. As a result, we imported documentation from the Orca wiki
and merged it into the accessibility guide. This was about a week before
our string freeze last release cycle, so we didn't have time to make a
proper job of it. There's probably plenty of typos, errors and
superfluous information in there, so it would be great if you could take
a look at it and have a go at fixing it up! Upstream will hopefully
adopt our alterations, too.

Regarding the wiki page you linked to, it would probably be best
replaced with material from the official documentation.

Thanks,

Phil
