[NFBCS] circling back to the wiki!

[Amanda Lacy]

My takeaway from that thread was that as blind people, we have less access to information, and we also access information less efficiently. Part of this inefficiency comes from having to retry things that have already proven not to work, and re-invent solutions that are already available. The wiki should not just be about Computer Science but a wide variety of topics. When sighted people want to learn a new skill they go to the internet. We obviously do also, but our results can vary a lot more.

For instance, here is a tool that aims to make it easier to read scientific papers with a screenreader: https://papertohtml.org

I'd also like to find a group of editors and create some sort of discussion platform (probably a mailing list) to go along with this all. Any thoughts/ideas here would be great.
