Hi Michael, design skills are really important too (I'll even admit
that as a coder :-))

It would be fantastic to have real users testing and giving feedback
and I know the Linux GNOME accessibility and Mozilla accessibility
communities would love to have you join. At GNOME in particular we
starting to get some energy around alternative input so it would be
fantastic to have you providing design, ideas and testing etc. I can
point you in the right direction if you like.

So I'm not quite sure of your question. Are you asking if the some of
windows programs we mention on OATS work on wine on Linux? Or are you
talking about the GNOME accessibility tools (Orca, MouseKeys,
MouseTrap, GOK, Dasher and apps like FIrefox)?
