From the web page http://EmpowermentZone.com/OpenSourceProjects.htm Open Source Projects by Jamal Mazrui October 5, 2010 Although my web site about nonvisual software development http://NonvisualDevelopment.orglists mosts of my open source projects, it needs updating to be more comprehensive. It also lacks links to separate documentation about the programs, which would help some people evaluate features before downloading or installing the whole program. This document is an attempt to address those issues in the short term. It lists my most popular programs to date (excluding screen reader scripts), and also includes links to their documentation only.
Nearly all of these are Windows-based programs published under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), explained at
http://gnu.orgSome programs are written in cross-platform languages, so may be adaptable to run on other operating systems as well. Anyone may use the programs in either binary or source code form. I welcome contributions that fix problems or enhance features.
