[laptop-accessibility] Introduction

[Per]

Hello There,

My name is Per and for 15 years I am blind. I live in a rich country 
(Germany) and I would like to help to improve the chances for blind persons 
from developing and newly industrializing countries. You do a very important 
work and I would like to promote/support your project within the realms of 
my possibilities.

I want to point you to another web resource for blindness related issues of 
the XO and the OLPC project. It could perhaps be a place to collect 
information for interested blind persons, their teachers and supporters, 
explained in a plain manner.

Unfortunately, I am not a developer/professional and my English isn't good 
enough to write a lot with eloquent formulations, but I will try my best and 
other persons perhaps want to contribute in the future as well.

Google's announcement of the open Android platform was the reason for 
another initiative, which was and is inspired by the OLPC idea:

Mobile technology could be a revolutionary chance for the many blind or 
otherwise handicaped people around the world but it must be accessible and 
affordable.

Last but not least, I would like to help making Wikipedia and thereby all 
Mediawiki based Wikis fully accessible for blind users. I believe, Wikipedia 
is the most important common information platform on the internet and it's a 
perfect resource for learning:

My dream is an independent and multi-lingual Blind Wiki which is optimized 
for screen reader software and the needs of blind users and blind admins:

If you want more info, please let me know. You can contact me via private 
mail or at Blind Wiki.
Best regards, Per
