Hi,
If you'd like to assist wherever possible, I can maybe help you bring the
site back. I have a site up at www.raeder24.org, and it is there for many
different purposes, but the first and foremost of which is to help the blind
community. If you have any of the content left over from the blind
programming site, You can by all means send it on, and I'll dedicate a page
to it. In other words, Raeder24 and blind programming can become one if you
want to. We are always willing to help in these matters. Let me know.
Katherine

ok, I skipped a few posts on this line due to some troubles, a note here the
former owner did this, switched to a wikki and that is when the blind
programming site went flat on its nose then we lost the site and then the
site name
I will assist where possible, but I have to wonder if this try will do any
better than the first one did?
up to you folks, just wanted to let these facts be known.
