[Blindmath] new publication about R accessibility

[Jonathan Godfrey]

Greetings all,

For some time now, I've been working on making the R community more 
aware of what R has to offer the blind community. (And vice versa also!)

Courtesy of links made via this email list and conferences/workshops 
attended, I have been able to submit an article to the R Journal. 
This is the main journal where those people involved with the 
development of R present their work and findings. After some 
refereeing processes and some editing, I have just learned that the 
article will be published in December this year.

The submission now appears online on the journal's web
site: http://journal.r-project.org/accepted/2012-14/Godfrey.pdf

This is a pre-print so the volume/issue/page numbers will change but 
I felt that this community deserved to see the fruits of my labour 
and the snippets of  wisdom collated over the last five or so years. 
As an academic myself, I think it is important to recognize those 
whose shoulders you have stood on. Several list participants get an 
explicit mention (John Gardner and Neil Soiffer) but others will know 
that they have pointed me and other list members in the right 
direction to excellent resources.

Let me now extend my sincere thanks to those people: John, Neil, 
Michael, Susan, Dominique, and those people too numerous to name 
explicitly whose feedback has been invaluable. Thank you all.

Jonathan
