Bill I'm not so sure we should work in a sandbox. What is a sandbox now has far too much tendency to turn into a real box later. I think it's better to focus on one distro, yes, but not a distro specifically for visually impaired. That's going down the wrong road and, I fear, sending the wrong message. Naturally, if it ever came to a vote by the community for another Canonical accessibility person, Willie would have my vote too.
