Yes I did manage to communicate with Skype developers and management while I was out there. I gave them a lot of specific ideas on how to make Skype for Windows and Mac more accessible. I also gave them ideas on how to plan accessibility into a product and how to test for it during the development cycle. It will of course be up to Skype to decide just when and how to do any of the many things I suggested. I did provide a prioritized list as part of the deliverables, but of course those are our priorities as blind users and must be merged into their current plans. I think, though, that we have their attention and interest and that they will continue to improve accessibility in coming releases.

There are also beta scripts setted for Skype 4 beta (http://www.dlee.org/skype/skype4.php), but there still are many bugs. BTW, Doug did you manage communicating with the people at Skype? Bye!
