[NFBCS] circling back to the wiki!

[charles.vanek at gmail.com]

Part of the takeaway also is not to attempt boiling the ocean.  Too much
information will certainly result in outdated material.  Also that the best
content is not that which reproduces mainstream content, but is a supplement
thereto.  

Ty et al.
For a name, what do you think of "Blind Tips & Tricks".  The short site
could be blindTNT.com  Kind of gimmicky as Blind dynamite.

Other thoughts/options:
- blindhowto.com - self-explanatory
- jawsover.com, a merge of JAWS & VoiceOver.  Though this doesn't convey
purpose
- srtips.net  -  The .com of SR Tips is for sale it appears but .net and
others available.  You can probably assume I was thinking Screen Reader
Tips.  Auto correct does change this in Outlook to strips though.
- blindhacks.com is taken and says site coming soon, but .net .org and
others available.

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

take input that way. 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.
