So here come the results. Subject was: "Move your a.." posted at blinux-list on 10.Sep.1996. Since sometimes more than one option was used, the sum of percentages may be more than 100%. We had a total of 38 contributions. 24 contributions (63%) from registerd blinux-list subscribers. 14 contributions (37%) from blind-l subscribers where this survey was posted also. (BLIND-L@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU is a busy list which deals about support for the computer user who is blind) 24 posters (63%) announced interest for Linux braille documentation. 5 posters (13%) had no interest in Linux braille docu "forget it..." 3 posters (8%) remarked that they were not blind. 5 posters (13%) didn't know/had no interest in Linux (all from blind-l). 8 posters (21%) said, that they would prefer some sort of software or hardware filter which would be able to transfer normal Linux man pages into braille or spoken words. Some people brought up the thought, that braille documentation would be always late since the develeopment speed of Linux is really fast, so that the normal man pages are often outdated, not to speak about braille documentation. This seems to be a vaild point. -- Hans Zoebelein You are interested in Linux blind support? zocki@goldfish.cube.net Join the blinux mailing list and mail to: *I'm a poker player, blinux-list-request@goldfish.cube.net *I don't believe in gambling. with subject line: subscribe
