Perhaps I might help you. Let me describe the situation:
- I work for Red Hat, big part of my time is dedicated to developping
Fedora; so I might be useful here.
- I used to have some contacts to a charity which used to have
Braille printer; I'm not sure if they still have it. I guess they
might help me to get access to a Braille tty.
But there are also negatives:
Though I remember playing with a Braille typewriter and Braille "pen"
and dotted-pad (don't know the official name), I cannot read Braille
at all. So I have only a very limited ability to check that the
Braille tty shows the same as the screen. And, obviously, sighted
user can easily miss something trivial.
I have never worked on Anaconda (the installer for Fedora), nor
tested the install process. Installing Fedora is something I
"survive" once a year, and that's all.
I'm not an official speaker for Fedora, but I believe we all wish to
have Fedora friendly to Braille users. Obviously, our main interest
is to fix the development version, so that Fedora 9 is Braille ready.
(Fedora 8 is probably too close to release for any bigger changes.)
Let me know how I can help.
Have a nice day,
Stepan Kasal
