I definitely concur with Jamal!  JAC is an exciting project.

Cheers.

Hi Jay,
I recall you said you are trying to modify the WE4Java code so that it 
can be screen reader independent.  Let me encourage you not to postpone 
release of the code until that is done.  Part of the idea of open source 
development is to release early and often, allowing other interested 
developers to look at the code and pitch in if possible.  Someone else 
might think of a way of achieving what you want to do in a more 
effective or efficient fashion.  The more eyes and ears that can 
possibly help along the way, the more likely that something useful will 
emerge in the foreseeable future.

I suggest just putting out whatever you currently have, complete with 
explicit caveats, qualifiers, "as is" assertions, etc.

Best,
Jamal
