As Geni says, it would need to be open source to be installed on
Wikimedia sites. I don't see why it would want to be installed on a
website, though - it should be installed as an add-on to a web
browser. That way only people that want it have it and they have it on
every website they access.

Not open source so no. Wikimedia only deploys open source software and
this is not a principle I would wish to see it compromise on.

[Wikimediauk-l] Point on Wikipedia

This is interesting.

This seems to be something worth looking into. My sister goes to a special
school, and I can vouch for the usefulness of these symbols when on printed
media. I have never seen it used online though.

This seems to be a good list to post it to: it's UK based, and would need
meatsphere links. Could someone post this to other lists if required; I
don't follow very many.
