Well maybe there could be an open source accessibility charity started that hold the funds. This could be used to help fund projects that are seen to better accessibility in the open source community.
I use my project as an example if there was a strong opinion around the community that a large drive to get the project functional in a system was nessecary and that called for external people and their skills it gives some flexibility for the community to drive what is deemed best. Going onto the sandbox issue etc with Vinux and Ubuntu. A lot of the issues with making the main distros more accessible is with security. Some of these are show stoppers so a small analysis of what is deemed to be a show stoppers or not and their implications on the distro would help to determine if a sandbox is really the only solution. Maybe an accessibility wiki list of features current and planned that make distros more accessible and a feasibility study as to whether they are possible on Ubuntu. Backing from Canonical would be essential but a more organised movement towards better accessibility is needed.
