How to make the CLI accessible for people with disabilities? Screen reader support? Accounting for color blindness? How might the language of the command line be more inclusive? See this IETF draft about alternatives to offensive and poorly-chosen metaphors in software

Recommended resources:

Accessibility of Command Line Interfaces (Harini Sampath, Alice Merrick, Andrew Macvean) (screen-reader focused)
Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (W3C Web Accessibility Initiative) (not CLI-specific, but has many applicable guidelines)
