[accessibleimage] Re: TeDUB

Hi Judy,
No, I haven't heard of them. Sounds very interesting,
exciting and very logical. I've thought a little about using
UML diagrams so it was interesting to hear about a project
using them. But of course that they can be automatically
generated for the end user is even better.
What are your thoughts about this project?
All the best,
Lisa
