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. > - Dominik Kind regards, Schoepp -- Christian Schoepplein <chris at schoeppi.net> Manage your communication: http://www.otrs.com Linux for the blind: http://www.blinux.suse.de
