Type: GNU

Description:
GNU Alexandria was actually designated an \"official\" GNU project a number of 
months back by Richard.  The purpose of this project is to develop software to 
enable access to e-government services and content for the blind, using the 
public telephone network and GNU Bayonne (hosted on a GNU system) as it\'s core 
service.  To date, this project has been under intense discussion and planning 
between me, the American Foundation for the Blind, and FS Macedonia.  As such, 
this project should also have some logical association with dotgnu and web 
services accessibility issues.

A conference is being held next month in Metz between our respective selves 
(AFB, FS Macedonia, myself, and the LSM medical community) as part of this 
year\'s LSM meeting.  The immediate need is to setup web pages describing the 
project and how people can help, as well as to provide referencial sources to 
the material to be presented at the LSM.  We may also need to make use of cvs 
to check in future GNU Bayonne related modules that will be developed 
specifically for and as part of GNU Alexandria, starting with our initial goal 
of creating a freely licensed GNU Bayonne based DIASY book reader (see 
http://www.daisy.org for what \"daisy\" is). 

Other Software Required:
GNU Bayonne
