Comment 17 for bug 275450

If you're using OnBoard, you probably can't type or can't type easily. It makes no sense to hide it where someone either needs to type to bring it up (which he or she can't do) or know how to find it when he or she probably needs OnBoard before being able to do anything else.

Personally, I've been frustrated with how accessibility items have disappeared from the default menu (some of which now don't even seem to exist in GUI form when they used to) as it makes it harder for me as a user who needs them to find them. As a result, I feel I can't recommend Ubuntu to friends who need accessibility features since they have to search a lot harder than they would on Windows or MacOS and it's a lot harder to set up. Sadly this is something we've actually removed in functionality as I remember in Feisty a lot of these things existing being easy to find and easy to set-up.

Also, in general, making OnBoard easier to find will make it easier for people using Ubuntu on a tablet to find it to use it. The more it gets hidden away (or removed to things that require typing), the harder it will be to encourage more people to try Ubuntu on the tablet or other similar set-ups.
