Hi all, What I am seeing from the posts is two sides of the same coin. Many feel that we as the blind comunity should contact companies directly while others feel we should involve RNIB, NFB, AFB, etc. Actually, both sides of the issue are correct, and it should be our goal to reach out to both to get things to happen. If we are truly serious about this the first goal is to get organised. Elect a chairman of the movement, elect someone as a contact person, someone to draft patitions, etc... In other words form an organisation where everyone has a certain job, and raise money to actually carry out the goals. Second, contact other groups for the visually impaired such as NFB to aid in this cause. They have the lawyers, funding, support, etc we don't have and extra help wouldn't hurt the cause. Third, find contacts in the game companies such as Microsoft Game Studios, Nintendo, Activision, etc... Get the ball rolling and hope to get them talking about accessibility in a more than an academic sense. Fourth, get some media coverage on the movement. Sad to say but our freedom of the press can be used to heavy advantage here. Get the public at large interested in discussing it, and companies will want to save face by doing something to add some accessibility.
