The biggest challenge here is finding those who have the skills to do what you want.
Personally, I would like to see people spend their time in making applications that get blind people jobs, then on games for entertainment when they are visually based in the first place. I appreciate the need for relaxation and some people like to play games to achieve this. But when there is so many new apps that are not accessible in the open source sector. This is one area that need to be addressed. Sean On 12 Dec 2014, at 11:53 pm, Devin Prater <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all.
