[RWP] Reaper Accessibility Query from New User

Tue Sep 10 12:18:42 EDT 2013

How about approaching n v d a devs?

I had a really positive experience with Jamie in regards to bettering sonar access with n v d a for a modest outlay of cash.

If We could make it worth his while and maybe he'd take this on.

  I feel that "We" as the blind community should focus on what we can do 
  to better things for ourselves...
  I mean,...I am not a software programmer, but if we pull our 
  resources,...brains, talent, financial resources,...we can get a load 
  of positive things done...

  I have the bucks, and I am willing to contribute on a monthly basis to 
  fund who ever would be willing, and has the programming talent to solve 
  our accessibility problems with reaper...

  I do believe that the resources are there,...it's just a matter of 
  utilizing what we have availible...

  So those who where offering the "Rea-access" program have dropped the 
  ball,...We are not defeated!,...I, for one,...am tired of relying on 
  those who are not going to do anything,...or, who don't give a care 
  about the blind community...

  If we are to get some where, we are going habve to do it ourselves!...
