Re: Assistive Technologies On Linux Paper

[Janina Sajka <janina afb net>]

You may wish to include the American Foundation for the Blind's industry
bulletin regarding the development of software applications that support
computer users who are blind. It is maintained at
http://www.afb.org/technology/accessapp.html. We think it makes a good
general overview of the issues and we've tried to include key access
points for developers to learn more particulars as they may need. This
document is, by the way, also available as a tri-fold pamphlet for
distribution at conferences and meetings. Anyone interested in obtaining
this document in print should contact afbinfo afb net
