Good morning,
I would suggest posting a discussion on groups.drupal.org/accessibility You
may find others intersted in assisting. Should you have trouble with any
CAPTCHAs on the Drupal Groups site please let me know, along with your
Drupal.org username, and I will request that your account be exempt from the
CAPTCHA requirement.
Thanks,
Everett Zufelt
