              App Development and Programming
          Hello all!
Several weeks back I posted an inquiry asking for volunteers who might want to help in a Focus Group and Beta Testing for iPhone apps that are targeted specifically for low-vision and blind users.  The response was quite healthy.  Thanks to all who responded.
I created a forum for these discussions on Yahoo.   However, during the process, we found that the polls on Yahoo to be not very accessible.  Also, only a small subset of those expressing intreats logged int to participate.  I came up that the login process of Yahoo was also difficult from an accessibility angle.
So, I have retooled to make the focus group more available to all who wish to participate.  If you are still interesting in being in the Focus Group and/or the beta program, then please do the following:
1. Join the listserv for the focus group.  You can do this in one of two ways:
   a. Visit http://activeinfosys.com/mailman/listinfo/aisfocus_activeinfosys.com and supply your e-mail and an administration password, or
   b. Send an e-mail to [email protected] with a subject of SUBSCRIBE.  Note the hyphen in the mailbox name.  This will add you to the list, and an administrative password will be automatically generated and e-mailed to you.
2. Complete a seven question survey.  This survey provides demographic information as well as some starting point questions for our discussions.  The survey is found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WQGWPBT
Looking forward to it,

Accessibility snags with the survey.
Any show stoppers?
