Peter, here's my thinking and I hope others will correct me if I'm wrong.
A website is not an application.
the applications involved would be your browser--i.e. or firefox, or chrome.
For that matter, google docs would not be an application either.
Just my thoughts.

Hi, for many blind people dating is quite difficult and many dating websites
don’t seem too accessible, and I have seen a few posts from people trying to
get various websites working. I’d be very grateful if the website
www.plentyoffish.com was made accessible in some way. It is pretty accessible
at the mom ent so shouldn’t require too much work, but there are a
lot of extra links and information you have to try and bypass to get to the
useful stuff.
I may be the only one who wants that website accessible, but I hope not and I
think lots would benefit from a fully accessible dating site where it’s not
just disabled people.
Peter
Thanks.

Hi folks,
As my 32nd birthday approaches, I think I am going to make a habit of picking
one new application per year to make jaws accessible. Picking Rhapsody was not
an easy task, but it taught me many things about an application that seems next
to impossible to make behave. I am taking off this summer from school and will
have the time to code a new application. Rhapsody Blind was a test to see if I
could pull it off, and it worked. I selfishly chose the first one, now I'm
looking for the popular vote on what you might want. I probably won't start
until this semester is over at the end of May, so this gives plenty of time to
decide. It would be a good idea to chat among each other and find out what is
needed or just plain want for entertainment purposes. So, let's open up the
floor and hear some suggestions.
Thanks,
John Martyn
