BLINUX-LIST
is a moderated forum dedicated to
develop support for blind users
of the free operating system,
Linux. The purpose of BLINUX-LIST
is to serve as a catalyst which
will both spur and speed the
development of software which
will enable the blind user to run
his or her own Linux workstation
his or herself. One of the first
steps in this direction is the
compilation of HOW TO
documentation files, in a wide
variety of formats and languages,
which will enable blind, visually
impaired, deaf-blind, and
low-vision users to install LINUX
on their computers themselves. So,
who should subscribe to
BLINUX-LIST and why? Well, if you
are a software developer with
spare time (is there such a
creature?) who is interested in
facilitating support for blind
users of Linux, BLINUX-LIST is
the place to exchange ideas,
announce new software and
trouble-shooting strategies, and
get feedback from "the blind
vine". If you are a
professional working in the field
of blind computer use,
BLINUX-LIST is the ideal source
of new, interesting information
and a means of sharing your
experiences with others. If you
are a hacker who is blind, you
may use BLINUX-LIST to get the
newest blind support software for
Linux.
