Greetings, Lately, many governments have started to strongly push for adoption of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), to reduce costs, create more local jobs and have greater control on their information infrastructure. Many disabled users worldwide are strongly complaining about these initiatives, because migrating to software infrastructure with a different and/or not fully accessible interface would serioysly restrict job openings for disabled users. Here is an article I wrote on this subject, where I affirm that both disabled users and FOSS supporters must learn to listen to each other, understand what is really at stake, and cooperate: http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/03/13/1628249.shtml?tid=150 Best Regards, Marco Fioretti -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 4 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ Rules should encourage thinking, not discourage it.
