Possibly, but asap isn't opensource, so no article there.
I do have an opensource screen reader, but again, it requires a physical
synth, so I need to work on that somehow.
Plus I have to find where I stuffed the source, it's around here
somewhere, but I haven't seen it in a while.
On the other hand, I'd be interested to see how ASAP was made to work,
that should be an interesting reveal.

does not Joseph have a working edition of freedos using asap, as a
screen reader?
The journey to getting accessibility, not just screen readers, but
voice tools for those needing that kind of inclusion, might make for
an interesting piece.
Since opensource seeks well open source smiles, the article might
encourage creativity towards coding solutions that benefit many
populations. After all, accessibility is not about blindness alone.

I suppose if they're interested in articles on accessibility, I
should probably write one on visually impaired access. I tried to
get a screen reader included into the project several years ago, and
was turned down, because of the license of the code, even though it
didn't have any restrictions on distribution, other than the fact
that whoever did so have a license for the a86 assembler, (which I do
have), but I've also not done a whole lot with it since then, so
perhaps it's time I did do something about that. I need to figure
out some way to tie that screen reader to a software synthesizer of
some sort, so folks don't need a physical hardware synthesizer. If
that could be accomplished, then freedos would truly be completely
accessible.
Of course, it is sort of accessible to visually impaired folks now,
since running it under dosemu on linux uses the linux screen reader,
and works just fine, though I've not tried running it on something
like dosbox under windows, to see if the windows screen reader works
for it.
I guess there's more work that needs done before I could truly write
an all inclusive article about it being accessible to visually
impaired users.
On the other hand, because dos is so easy to use, it does make it a
lot more accessible than other operating systems like windows though,
so perhaps there's an article there.
<shrug>
I'll think about it, and see if there's something I can come up with
that seems publication worthy.
Ideas are of course welcome, which is (mostly) why I went ahead and
posted this message.
Thanks for listening.

That sounds like the sort of thing I'd be interested in doing, but
what sort of article are they looking for? Are they after a
"history of FreeDOS" type article, because that's been done so
many times it would be hard to write anything original,
wouldn't it?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Cheers,
John.

If anyone here is interested in writing articles about
FreeDOS,
Opensource.com is interested in running FreeDOS articles. I
write
articles for them sometimes, and the FreeDOS articles
perform very
well on the site. In fact, they recently listed FreeDOS among
their
list of "topics we're interested in for 2023." Also included
in the
list: conio and C programming.
I can tell you the editors are very welcoming, which is why I
continue
to write articles for them. If English isn't your first
language, and
you aren't confident of your English writing skills, they
can help
with editing to make the final version really nice.
