Hi all, As promissed, the AccessIndia website will soon have a lot of content and features. I am working on getting the basic structure of the site ready. The progress so far seems to be encouraging. I cannot promise a date for launch but I am trying to do it ASAP. I believe in collective information gathering. All registered members, unless they are restricted to do so for obvious reasons, can post and update content to the site. However, I feel that the site should contain some content before we make it available for general use.
Hence this is a sincere request to all the members to share whatever content they have by sending it to me directly on [EMAIL PROTECTED] The content may include: Technology related articles, reviews, ticps and tricks and so on. List of organizations working for the blind in the country with short description of services offered and contact details. List of computer training centers, resource centers, placement services, employment celss and so on. List of Electronic and talking book libraries, braille presses and other information related sources. List of Schools for the blind, schools where integrated education system is actively encouraged and educational institutions where special facilities for the blind exist. List of magazines and newsletters (domestic and international) concerned with access technology or blindness or education of the blind and so on. List of Acts and Legislations (scanned images and full text), government orders and notifications (scanned images and full text) and so on. List of international resources and websites that are of interest to us. Any other content that you think can be posted on the site. I thank you all in advance for this help. Please remember to send the content to my email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not to the list. If the content is too big for email, let me know and I will give you an FTP site to upload it. Also, please let me know if you think of any other services on the site. You will be able to have a look at a skeliten version of the site in a couple of days. Individual blogs and hopefully personal webpages can also be created. The site will be useful to a lot of people only if we contribute to its development. All of you have actively participated on the mailing list for years. I request you to contribute to the site with the same spirit. I should also let you know that I got a lot of help and advise in technical issues from some of our members. Thank you all. Special thanks also to Atul and Shilpa at Enabling Dimensions for your help. Regards, Kiran. To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
