Hi all,

I'm involved in a project with a local charity that is aiming to improve
the standard of living for visually impaired people with technology.
One part of the project has been to create a best practice guide for
organisations to create fully accessible websites based on a CMS.  We
have chosen Joomla for a variety of reasons, but most importantly
because it is Open Source.

The charity is currently developing their own website as an example of a
fully accessible website and we're looking for some volunteers to donate
a little bit of their time and skills to the project.  The site is
structured in a modular format and we need various modules developing.
All of these modules are reasonably simple, but will help build a good
example of a website that is open to all.

All work will be released as Open Source code and will also be included
with the best practice guide (which will be freely available) so it can
help others create their sites.  On a side note, it will also help
promote Open Source software to organisations that may not have
previously considered it.  The project is going to be presented to a
variety of companies, technical and non-technical and will be receiving
some media publicity.  Anyone who helps develop a module will receive
full credit on the website.

So if you have experience in PHP or Joomla and would like to donate some
time to charity and Open Source projects, please get in contact with me
and I'll provide you with some more information.  

Thanks!

Les
