I was wondering what the general opinion would be of a linux accessibility channel, geared not specificly to Orca or Speakup, but to accessibility in general; whether you use command line or desktop, Orca or Speakup, or even Emaxspeak. Interested parties can contact me off-list, and we can go from there. I was thinking of using the OFTC IRC network, as it seems most geared towards the idea behind not just Linux, but accessibility. Again, I appologise if this is off topic in any way and would encourage anyone with an interest, because of the possible off-topic nature, to mail me privately. Sincerely, James Homuth
