[nabs-l] The Future of Nemeth?

[Greg Aikens]

Actually, Dr. Nemeth has continued to update and change the code, trying to integrate it as seamlessly as possible with literary braille.  I would be surprised if he would be offended by a discussion of the future of his code.  Admittedly, I have not followed the threads talking about the future of braille, so I probably don't understand the context for Joshua's reaction here.  I do think its good to think critically about how tools can be improved and better used in general though.  

As far as the original question, I do hope that some kind of unified braille system will be adopted in the U.S. which integrates math and literary braille.  This seems like a challenging problem to solve, and widespread adoption of a new code will take quite a while, but fortunately better minds than mine, such as Dr. Nemeth, have started working on this problem.
