		<description><![CDATA[In Open Source and You, Ron Goldman points out:

No one would buy a car with the hood welded shut, but that is essentially what commercial software is.

I&#8217;ve never thought about it quite like that before, but that would be about right.    The rest of the article is well worth the read if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Morning:  Notice that someone has reported a bug against the Orca screen reader.  (It seems that Orca is not properly announcing the name of a combo box in the sound-juicer media player.  In addition the combo box is not in the Tab order.) Confirm the problem and provide additional information which will [...]]]></description>

Dan even had a constructive answer to the rhetorical question I asked the other day, namely: &#8220;Where do you even begin&#8221; when attempting to get to the bottom of an accessibility regression in the Windows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about you, but I tend to ignore press releases and similar such creatures:  Credibility issues aside, the substance-to-fluff ratio is just too low.  Every once in a while, however, you do come across one of substance &#8212; often it&#8217;s unintended substance (remember FS&#8217; HumanWare Trade-In announcement two weeks after  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday when I read Peter Korn&#8217;s announcement that OpenDocument v1.1 is now an OASIS standard, I almost whipped out a quick entry.  Now I&#8217;m glad I waited because there&#8217;s even more good news thanks to the accessibility guys at OpenOffice.org:  Version 2.2 for Linux/UNIX, currently in development, now exposes tons of text attributes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sun&#8217;s first Corporate Social Responsibility Report was published yesterday. The report highlights &#8212; and rightfully so &#8212; Sun’s contributions in the area of access to information and technology for people with disabilities. Weighing in at 36 pages, the report highlights a number of other things as well.  Fortunately, Peter Korn has quoted the accessibility-related [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m currently &#8220;on the road&#8221; doing a training, but I will definitely give this a try when I get back.

Thanks Rich!!
