Hello, I am just writing to introduce myself to the debian-accessibility mailing list.
One of my challenges is helping people who have little or no functionality of their arms and legs and instead rely on using a single switch (button) to access the computer. Although solutions exist for these folks, the costs are usually astronomical, and completely out of reach for the people I am trying to help. My goal is to assemble old computers I have been collecting into machines these folks can use at home for free so that they can at least access information and communicate with others independently in their homes. A number of awesome tools already exist, especially with GOK, but I could really use some help with customizing some of the features or better understanding their implementation. Aside from what I need help with however, I want to help the rest of the people working on Debian Accessibility. I have a good understanding of how to use and set up computers for accessibility on many platforms including Debian. Although I have little understanding about programming, I have much experience with working with people of all types of disabilities and have a decent understanding of their needs. I also see most of the people I help on a daily basis and they are always willing to give feedback about solutions I have found for them. Please let me know how I can help, and maybe get some help for my folks. Thank you, -- William D.
