I think this is one of the better things that has happened here at blind
programming we all need to get into this and help out.  I don't know if I
have time the next 6 months but I am going to try.

Subject: Opening up NonvisualDevelopment.org

Although the Drupal log-in controls at
http://NonvisualDevelopment.org

were present before, I have now revamped the site so that they should 
work in a meaningful way.  Anyone can create an account, including via 
the OpenID protocol.  Anyone can create, edit, or delete their own 
stories, blogs, polls, or other content supported by standard or common 
3rd party modules of Drupal 6.  One of three themes may be selected, 
which can aid usability according to preferences for page layout and 
navigation.  Files may be uploaded as well, e.g., documentation or open 
source projects.

I have not yet written help tips for beginning users, so this will 
probably be more useful to those familiar with Drupal web interfaces at 
present.  I invite help from Drupal developers on these lists in 
answering questions from beginners wanting to contribute to the site. 
Also, feel free to make suggestions about Drupal modules or techniques 
that could improve the usefulness of the site.  In such cases, the more 
specific suggestions, the better, since I will probably be forwarding 
them to the consultant I have been using.

I believe in agile development processes, so consider this a work in 
progress that I will strive to make better over time.  I am focusing on 
this and FruitBasketDemos.org now, however, so it is a good time to 
provide feedback or other contributions.  Note that this is not a source 
control system -- anyone can upload code to share, but versions would 
need to be managed separately through other means.
