Hi all, I am legally blind, legally deaf, some limited finger mobility, and some learning disabilities too (all from Rubella). I enjoy mathematics and programming but due to my limited income Mathematica is just out of my reach even for the Home edition. A friend told me about SAGE. Cool! However after spending several days with SAGE, I found the GUI front end to be less then friendly for my needs. I can type but not for long periods and my brain/fingers will screw up spelling a lot. The semi- auto complete is ok, but not rich/smart enough for me. I loved the point-click palettes of Mathematica but I understand thats not an option for SAGE. sigh.
What I really need is a keyword/function/command browser thats a part of each worksheet so I can just point and click symbols and numbers etc. I understand the front end is mostly Javascript; so perhaps, some kind soul would work with me to create a GUI I and other disabled folks might find more useful. I have not funds to pay but am good at testing and graphics design (am slow but talented). Sometimes Innovation can come from necessity of accessibility. ;-) Everyone benefits! OR, If the javascript front end is fully documented somewhere, tell where so I can try to create my own. Often, I have to make my own lever to move a world ;-) The last option, since am on an intel MacMini, how can I talk interactively to terminal to send SAGE code and get back SAGE responses, so is that documented well too?? Then I can create a GuI made from anything else. Thanks for hearing me out. Keep up the work on SAGE!
