Hi everyone. I'm wondering what are your favourite mailling lists or discussion group for the blind! I am not talking it in the point of view of having a talk only beetwen blind or separate us from the society. I talk about it only in the way that it could be interesting some mailling list of our common interests such as accessible software, our feelings about our blindness and so on! I believe that if we understand our nature, and comunicate more beetwen us, we can feel more strong and can open ourselves better for the society! Of course I think in a mailling lists that are opened for everyone who wish participate and change ideas and point of views! Me personally, I am member of 3 mailling lists in english: Audissey Magazine list which I'm a member one year ago and of course we talk about accessible games! It is a very interesting group because almost all accessible game developers are there and announce there their last titles! The other 2 lists where I am are the RailRacer dedicated list because I'm huge fun of Railracer and SoundRTS chat which is obviously dedicated to the game SoundRTS. I am also in some others about accessible games in portuguese! I was searching some other lists about diferent subjects but I don't know where find them and what are interesting! Some feedback or sugestions would be very appreciated! Thank you and hope see some of you there soon! Jorge
