Hi List,

I attended a meeting (by phone) organized by the MA IT division on 
Friday. There were a number of Assistive Technology companies there, 
plus Sun, IBM, IT Division people and representatives of state emplyees. 
This meeting was still very much at the stage of putting issues on the 
table, so not much technical planning was done.

There will be another meeting on Jan. 23rd, which should be more 
technical. For that time I would like to have an overview of which areas 
(if any) we have better provisions for AT on Linux than on Windows 
(including when 3rd party commercial tools are used there). Failing 
that, are there any areas where we could be better with a relatively 
small amount of work? (the emphasis is on the actual end-user 
experience, not potentially supperior inferastructure).

I've made a start here:
