        I think the fruit basket project
http://FruitBasket.QuantumMyst.com

is a valuable resource for blind programmers. Since it is almost exclusively Windows-focused at present, let me encourage additional samples on other platforms as follows:

* A sample that runs under the Gnome desktop of Linux, accessible with the Orca screen reader. Although some of the Windows samples might run on Linux, e.g., the wxPython one, it would still be helpful to include information and configuration files for deployment on Linux, so that a developer has a good example of both development and deployment there. For example, it might show how to use a standard package manager on Linux, both from a deployment and installation perspective.

* Similar arguments for a Mac sample, accessible with VoiceOver.

* Similar arguments for a Symbian or Windows Mobile sample, accessible with Mobile Speak or Talks.

* Similar arguments for an Android sample, accessible with whatever speech tools are now available there.

* A sample that is deployed with Google App Engine.

* An Adobe Flex sample.

* A Microsoft Silverlight sample.
