Hi,
My name is Steve and I'm one of the Audacity forum administrators.
When I was setting up the "Special Interest" groups on the forum, the
idea of an "Accessibility" group did occur to me, but you seem to have
a wonderful community going on here on "audacity4blind" and I'd not
want to detract from that.
Of course VI users are always welcome on the forum, and one of our
most prolific forum contributors is blind.
The forum software is phpBB. I don't know how accessible the software
is, but we have not yet found a way to migrate to alternative forum
software, so for good or bad we are currently tied to using that
software,
I would be interested in hearing the views of members of the mailing
list about this.
Regards
Steve
