As you know, BrailleBlaster is being written in Java. It is a desktop 
application. Making it a web applicationn would be another project. 
nevertheless, since I am learning Java, I would like to apply that 
knowledge to my websites. I think that this is what Bookshare does. So 
where do I begin?

The braille knowledge in BrailleBlaster is largely contained in two C 
libraries, liblouis and liblouisutdml Tarballs for both can be found on 
the downloads page of http://www.abilitiessoft.com Both also have 
projecgtg pages on googlecode. They will remain C libraries so that they 
do not require a run-time environment and thus can be used with various 
high-level languages. liblouis has Python bindings, and liblouisutdml 
has Java bindings. BrailleBlaster will call liblouisutdml directly, 
which will call liblouis for actual translation, while itself doing the 
xml rendering and braille formatting. It will also add markup in the 
Unified Tactile Document Language (UTDML). 

Thanks,
John
