Dear friends

Sorry for the cross posting.

As we all know different users have different needs of their operating
system.  Adjusting the system to meet their requirements may take a lot of
effort for certain users. Some users may not be able to configure the system
without someone else's assistance.  For computers in public spaces (eg.
libraries, university computer labs, offices, etc.) it is very important
that the computers can quickly adapt to different users' preferences and
return to the defaults after they are finished.

To try to help with this process I've submitted an idea to the Ubuntu
Brainstorm site.
If you think this is an interesting idea worth pursuing please *consider
voting for it*:

*What is Web-4-All?*

The Adaptive Technology Resource Centre (ATRC) <http://atrc.utoronto.ca/> at
the University of Toronto <http://www.utoronto.ca/>developed
Web-4-All<http://web4all.atrc.utoronto.ca/html/english/w4a_home_e.html>,
a system for easily configuring multi-user public access computer
workstations. Web-4-All is basically a file which contains the users
accessibility preferences. These preferences can be stored on a smart card
or USB flash drive. When the user places this media into a Web-4-All
compatible system the system automatically updates to match the
accessibility preferences as best it can. When the user pull the card out of
the system the computer reverts back to the previous settings.

Kind regards,
Scott Rippon.
