[RWP] Reaper Accessibility

[Chris Smart]

Hi folks.

Currently, increased accessibility to Reaper is being discussed and 
voted on over at:
http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=3888

While many of us blind folks have spoken up, our numbers are small.
Would it be possible for some of you to distribute the link and a 
brief explanation of its importance to other online forums?  I've 
already hit a few, and various places on Facebook but I need help - 
I don't have the day to go around reposting.
Just a few such places are:
Gearsluts
Sound on Sound forums
Harmony Central forums
www.homerecording.com
Prosound Web

and that's not counting all the forums for guitarists, drummers, 
keyboard players, bassists, etc.

We need to accumulate some votes from the wider community, not just 
from a dozen blind or visually-impaired folks. I think, sometimes 
to our detriment, we restrict ourselves to a few specialized maling 
lists when it comes to these issues.

If you need some reasons why accessibility in Reaper is important:

1. Many blind and visually-impaired studio professionals, musicians 
amateur and pro, do not have software choices you do, when it comes 
to DAW's, plug-ins etc.

2. Many of us are on limitted incomes, which makes Reaper's low 
license cost extremely attractive.

3. Many of us do not have brand new purpose-built DAW's, so the 
fact that Reaper can run on less than optimal hardware is excellent!

4. Accessibility is fast becoming a requirement for colleges, 
universities and workplaces making software purchasing decisions, 
so it would be good for Reaper to get ahead of the curve on this.

5. Great PR for Reaper!
