Adrian,
How would we do that? If you can come up with some cross-platform
system that makes it possible to support blind pople, that's no
problem, but since FreeCard is based on visual elements (buttons,
windows, color graphics) I'm not sure how we'd add support for blind
people.
I'd say we just hope we don't add in anything that makes it more
impossible than it already is to add support for disabled people, but
we should keep that for version 5.0 or so. It's asking too much to
get a working HyperCard clone out there and then also take into
account specialties like blind people.
Cheers,
