Hi Hadi--

Thank you for including me on the note. I think Brian would be the best 
person to talk about Sakai accessibility since he is leading the 
accessibility effort these days. Another person he may want to include 
from the Sakai developer side is Gonzalo Silverio, who has been heavily 
involved in implementation.

I'm looking forward to this! I'll bet you get a huge audience!

Mike
