Re: GSOC 2008 advice

[David Bolter <dtb gnome org>]

Hi Benjamin.

Regarding #4 (compositing effects), please note this thread:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-list/2008-February/msg00066.html

We will soon be announcing a call for proposals for tasks such as this. 
Perhaps you should monitor the gnome-accessibility list for a couple of 
weeks. If you haven't already, we'd be happy to have you join the list. 
There is lots of work to be done.

cheers,
David
