If you just wait for volunteers to do something, this will be the result. Could someone tell us what the organisations that deal with the disadvantaged are doing to help themselves scratch their own itch? That is the usual way to get things moving in the FOSS community. Surely, there must be some pressure groups, charities, government departments etc. sufficiently concerned about accessibility, that the relatively small amount of funding could be got together to employ a couple of programmers to make significant inroads into this issue. Once the principles are in place, the rest will follow by example when maintaining the product. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
