Chamandeep,
Take a look at the web site and tell us if you can think of any other
content we could put there to help.
I want to try to keep it to content that is relevant to visually
impaired users because the net is full of fantastic content for Linux
newbies and gurus alike. But content aimed at visually impaired users
like us is severely lacking, even on the Foundation forums.
