[UA-discuss] Hackathon @ ICANN55

[Ron Baione]

I agree that it would be an accessibility project under normal circumstances.  According to the wiki page, the accessibility working group has one member, cheryl, who seems to be inundated by accountability issues at the moment, because of the transition.  

In lew of no better proposal, maybe such a proposal would be a good initial way to bring coders together under a humanitarian cause, where new ideas more relevant to UA can be generated as the hackathon progresses.  For example, maybe a computer code in the URL can be inserted to cause the computer, phone or tablet to read the website URL aloud to the visually impaired, in any language.  Maybe different celebrities would volunteer to read some words so there would be choices as to voice playback.
