Hi Leena, Nice to know that CDAC has a good intention for making GNU/Linux available to the disabled. However I wish to make it clear that there is already a Distro called Vinux which is being widely used by blind users. Firstly, I wish to know if your project has a mailing list? what are the ways in which foss community members can participate in development? Do you have a wiki? How often do you have open meets? If you are working on a foss based distro it is important that there is community participation right from the start. For example I never herd about your work untill recently. I could have then suggested that you merge with the Vinux project because they have already a lot of experience and a big community supporting it. At the same time you could have shared your work and bennifit all the Vinux users with the enhancements you have done. I am sure you will have a thing or 2 better than the vinux distro and thus we could exchange ideas and code. I work at IIT Mumbai and would love to visit your office and have a look personally so even I could help out with your project by helping with some technical issues which I am aware about. Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
