Re: [Accessibility] Announcing BrailleBlaster

[John J. Boyer]

In fact, there will be a command-line tool that can use all the 
computing power of the underlying libraries, like xml2brl. A web 
application has also been suggested, but there might be difficulty 
making it accessible.

Programmers can be blind or sighted, as long as they are good Java 
programmers. 

Anyone who wishes to join the mailing list can do so by sending a 
mesage to address@hidden and putting subscribe in 
the subject line.
