My opinion is that I think none of us are experts in solving propblems
of interfaces for people with disabilites I'll do my best to try to
get some expert advice. If I can't get enough information from my
friend I'll research the issue myself and see what info I can find on
the web and maybe buy a book on the I'm sure they exist.
The idea is we list the problems that need to be solved and there
solutions and implement
as many as we can and ask the community for help if needed.
I don't think we should jump into solving the few problems we know right now.
