Excellent; I'll let you know when I've worked on the accessibility issues in JamochaMUD. According to the documentation I've found Java has a lot of built-in accessibility features so it may be relatively trivial to get things set-up (everything from tool-tips and keyboard navigation to binding labels to text fields).
It will probably be more of a wait for me to find time to make the changes than to do the actual work!
