No, I haven't done that yet, but there are people on the Ubuntu-Accessibility and the Gnome-Accessiblity lists who know Vinux. You can search the archives at <https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility> and <http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list>. I can also forward the request for you, if you can give me precise contact details etc (e.g. who should be contacted at Distrowatch).
