Can't we just gather all ideas first and then appoint sub group leaders?
We are global after all not just a UK or US group.

I agree the Longhorn screen reader is a pretty good idea but what would 
be wrong
with a little bit of initial "blue-sky-ing" here and looking at what we 
want...what we really, really want?

See this article:

It's Microsoft that has boxed us into this situation (them and the 
reader software people) why should we continue to pander to them?

Installing a new OS and new application software is not that hard these 
days. Linux, Mac OS X tiger, etc...
There's Mozilla's browser and e-mail and calendar functionality and even 
OpenOffice.

Basically, I'm just confused between the use of "open source" and "build 
it for Longhorn" in this project description.
- would somebody (will?) care to explain that one, please?


thx.
