Fair comment.  I'm sure nobody you spoke to is against a11y (don't know if you spoke to Linuxmint yet, that might change).

It would be a good idea to list the contact points of all, or at least major distro a11y related contacts in one place.  I can maybe try to pull some kind of list together for eyesfreelinux.ninja.

My problem currently, as for most people, is there aren't enough hours in the day.

I'm curious now about whether the ReactOS guys have 'reverse engineered' oleacc32.dll and other aspects of the Win32 accessibility stack.  I think I can probably guess the answer.  But it would be good to see ReactOS mature into a really usable OS.  Although how they get away with it is beyond me.
