Hi Lyn,
That's something I would like to cover in time. Hopefully we can bring in
someone familiar with screen magnifiers, or develop the skills in house.
The original five people, myself included, who originally came up with this
project are all screen reader users, and so that's where our skills lie, but
I for one am willing to try and figure out how screen magnifiers work. So,
it's something I would definately like to get around to doing, and hopefully
we will in time.
Will
