FWD: Re: [LINUX_Notes] LINUX SCHOLAR CHALLENGE

["Jennifer E Jobst" <jobst@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

BTW, one of the "challenges" (click on the link to "the complete rules" in
PDF format, see pg. 6) directly relates to accessibility:

3) Challenge: Accessibility Enhancements - Address some of the functional
deficiencies in Linux to make it more readily certifiable for
accessibility.

Prereq: Linux 2.4 Kernel.

Expected Results:  Identify one or more functional deficiencies.  Provide a
solution for the deficiency.  Document the supporting hardware and software
environment used to provide the solution.  Explain what was accomplished
toward making Linux more readily certifiable for accessibility.
