Well there are 2 groups of keenly interested students out here.
Basically I used to mentor them on web accessibility and other internet

Can you mail me off the list for some extensive discussions?
I also need some help with understanding some aspect of Orca code.
This has been discussed time and time again and I am already reading 
Orca code.
So would want to ask some specific questions.

Yes I can take up the work of coordination.

But right now its important to sort out the things properly.
