If Shannon is okay with that, that would be wonderful! We need to get him as much information about the screen readers as possible so that he knows what he's working with. Like I said yesterday, it makes it a lot easier for a programmer if they understand what their programming for.

I think some of the problem when we talk to the developers is that we forget that they don't know how to use our software. I think that would probably help them to understand how to help us better if they can speak our language.

I'm just trying to see if I can poke around and accidentally make something happen that could hold us over until the next version comes. I'm also poking around to see if there's any more information that I can give him that might help him figure out exactly what we need.
