Full ACK, I do not read or response to mails from this list exactly
for this reason.

I understand that a sighted person can not test a software and its
accessibility the way a blind person would do. The way the software is
used and they way how work is done with the computer differs a lot.

I'm also a blind rockbox user and I'd like to help improving the
accessibility of the software. I use a very old rockbox version on
my IAudio but I can change my setup to test things. Just give a
short overview what I should test, install and so on, I'd need to know a
bit more details to know what needs to be tested.
